Outstanding treatise of the massive complexities of the whole vaccination and immunity business. Learned much.

Dr. VDB, however, seems to be naive to the extreme about what the vaxxx is about. He never touches on the vaxxx as bioweapon.

Naive? Maybe too weak a word and concept. Just plain ignorant about the evil in the world, maybe.

Stunning, though.
Dr. VDB is not anti-vaxx or anti-mRNA vaxx, he just doesn't agree with the timing of the vaxx. He is very interesting to listen to though. Just like Dr. Campbell. Campbell is very informative but just doesn't ask questions of the data.

Nothing to See in Israel with COVID, Please Move Along

Israel is one of the most vaxxed nations in the world. They currently are seeing a spike in the coronavirus.

If you had to swivel your head to read the schizophrenic headlines populating Israel’s newspapers and websites, you will injure yourself and need a neck brace. Just look how the story is changing depending on the day:

VaccineDeaths.com September 8, 2021
COVID-19 CASES IN ISRAEL CONTINUE TO RISE DESPITE VACCINES, BOOSTER SHOTS AND FREEDOM-CRUSHING RESTRICTIONS
Haaretz, September 10, 2021
COVID CONTINUES TO SHRINK IN ISRAEL, SERIOUS CASES IN DECLINE
Jerusalem Post, September 13, 2021
CORONAVIRUS IN ISRAEL: NEW CASES AT 7,700, R RATE CLIMBS TO 1 AGAIN
You now know what it is like to be a yoyo.

So let us deal with the facts:

Fact 1--Israel is the most COVID-vaccinated nation in the world.
Fact 2–Israel is now battling its FOURTH wave of infection and vaccinated people are getting sick, being hospitalized and dying.

Despite these facts, the Israeli medical establishment is pressing forward with plans for new jabs. At some point, the Israeli people need to speak out and call out this charade. The vaccine being administered in Israel and the rest of the world does not produce immunity. It stimulates some immunity in some people.

It makes some vaccinated people extremely ill, and some die. A genuine vaccine is supposed to produce overwhelming immunity. That is not the case with COVID.

Jim Hoft’s latest piece on the COVID nightmare in Israel shows the Israeli Health Minister admitting the government is lying to the people. Read it here.

Israel is the canary in the mine shaft. It is a preview of what the countries pushing the unproven vaccines are likely to face in the coming months. I regret taking the Moderna vaccine in March. I will not be making that mistake again.

‘Govt Has No Authority to Mandate Health Choices’ – Hero SoCal Sheriff Says He Will Not Enforce Covid Vaccine Mandate on Employees

By Cristina Laila

Sheriff Chad Bianco

California – Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said he will not enforce the Biden Regime’s Covid mandate on employees of the sheriff’s department.

“Over the past couple of weeks, the idea of forced vaccination has caused much concern across the entire country,” Bianco said in a statement released Monday.

“I will not enforce the vaccine mandate on Sheriff’s Department employees.”

“The government has no ability and no authority to mandate your health choices,” he said. “As your sheriff, I have an obligation to guard your liberty and freedom.”

Bianco made it clear that he is not anti-vaccine, rather, he believes a decision to get vaccinated should be between the individual in consultation with their doctor.

“I am certainly not anti-vaccine. I am anti-vaccine for me. That decision should be made in consultation with your doctor after discussing the potential benefit and the potential negative side effects,” the sheriff said. “It is time our government and our politicians come to the realization that the only reason they exist is because “we the people” formed our government to secure the blessings of individual liberty and freedom.”

Last year Sheriff Bianco pushed back against Governor Newsom’s authoritarian Covid mandates.

Sheriff Bianco blasted Newsom and said he will not be bullied or blackmailed after the governor threatened to withhold money and resources from counties that do not enforce his Covid orders.

Bianco called Newsom a hypocrite for dining in fancy restaurants, keeping his winery open and sending his children to in-person private schools while destroying other businesses and closing public schools.

Sheriff Bianco is a hero.

Certa Bonum Certamen

REVEALED: Fauci Ignored Obama's Ban on Gain-of-Function Research, Ordered Coronavirus Studies to Continue

By Scott Hounsell | Sep 14, 2021 5:30 PM ET

In the early days of the pandemic, I found Dr. Anthony Fauci to be the typical government bureaucrat: well-meaning, but inept and ultimately unnecessary in the larger picture. Over the course of the pandemic, and especially due to the investigative reporting I’ve done on the origin of COVID-19, I’ve come to believe that Fauci’s desire to control the narrative on this subject deals squarely with his culpability in creating the pandemic in the first place.

While larger media outlets are now highlighting things reported here in May and June, such as NIH funding of gain-of-function research (or, research that makes viruses more deadly or contagious) at Wuhan and the conflict of interest of the vast majority of the Lancet letter’s signatories, they’re dancing around the bigger story:

Dr. Fauci, the NIAID, and the NIH ignored a ban on gain-of-function research instituted by the Obama administration in 2014 and continued to fund it until the Trump administration revoked funding in April 2020, and knowingly continued to fund research undertaken at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

These facts and many others were revealed in my May 13 piece, “Dr. Fauci’s Testimony to Rand Paul on ‘Gain-of-Function’ Research Certainly Seems Like It Was Untrue.

As we’ve reported and as Fox News Channel’s Steve Hilton brought out nearly 10 months ago, Dr. Fauci has long been a cheerleader of GoF research. In 2011, Fauci and NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins went on an offensive regarding gain-of-function research, suggesting that such experiments, regardless of the associated dangers, are necessary. The next year, Fauci testified before Congress on the topic again, suggesting again that the benefits of the research outweigh the risks. Throughout the next couple of years, many within the scientific community became alarmed about gain-of-function research, especially after scientists created several chimeric viruses in labs that, had they gotten out, could have spelled global disaster. Yet, Dr. Fauci’s unqualified support continued.

As a result of the serious concern expressed about creating new, more lethal, and more transmissible viruses, the Obama Administration’s Department of Health and Human Services issued a moratorium on US funding of gain-of-function research, which took effect in 2014. At the time, there were more than a dozen studies that fell under the HHS order, including a study being performed by Dr. Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina.

Below is a copy of the letter sent to UNC:

oO0ckFy.jpg


waOhBrY.jpg


Of the 14 gain-of-function studies that were occurring at the time of the issued pause, 13 immediately ceased, but one continued – Baric’s study at UNC. Dr. Ralph Baric, often referred to as the “godfather of gain-of-function,” was ordered by the NIH and NIAID to continue his research despite the HHS-issued moratorium. How do we know that? Well, Baric was careful to note this in his studies performed after the institution of the moratorium.

In the first study, which was completed in the year after the pause in funding and research, Dr. Baric inserted the following disclosure, likely as a means of shielding himself from criticism or questioning as to why he was continuing research that had been stopped.

DsDe3Ks.png


The second study contained a similar disclosure.

m3PTdaX.png


Baric’s funding was not the only study that continued. The NIH and NIAID continued grant funding through EcoHealth Alliance, which conducted gain-of-function research throughout the pause as well. EcoHealth Alliance also continued funding gain-of-function research through grants issued by the Department of Defense during this time.



While the common thread in these studies is that all the funding and research continued at the direction of the NIH and NIAID during the ordered pause, there’s another common thread running through all three of these studies: The Wuhan Institute of Virology.

In both studies, Baric worked directly in coordination with Dr. Shi Zhengli, the lead researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. In one of the studies in which Baric placed his disclosure regarding the research pause, Baric also credited Dr. Shi, proving that not only were the NIH and NIAID aware that the research was being conducted, but a portion of that research also originated with the WIV.

pMDcyll.png


Baric’s other study wasn’t just funded by the NIH, but also the US Department of Defense through a USAID PREDICT grant to EcoHealth Alliance. EcoHealth Alliance then awarded that money directly to Dr. Shi at the WIV:

lLAlUvr.png


Not only does this information directly contradict Dr. Fauci’s statements, but it also proves them to be lies.

In summary:
  • The Obama Administration ordered a pause in gain-of-function research.
  • That pause was ignored by the Department of Defense (DOD), The National Institutes of Health (NIH), and The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID).
  • Three studies confirm that a portion of the research was conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).

We’ve been reporting this since May. When will Fauci be interrogated about this?

An Inside Look at Australia’s ‘Mandatory Quarantine Camps:’ A Dystopian Reality in 2021 Where Travelers are Confined “Like Animals at the Zoo” – (Video)

Australian health worker gives woman a Covid test at her Isolated quarters in Howard Springs Quarantine Facility

Earlier this week, Australia’s Public Health Chief, Dr. Kerry Chant, casually dropped a bombshell when she admitted that the country “will be looking at what contact tracing looks like in the New World Order.”

Dr. Chant’s seemingly blatant nod to what has been called the “Great Reset” set social media ablaze, which naturally kicked the “fact checkers” into high gear.

Of course, using the term could be a coincidence, but when you take a closer look at some of the Orwellian and downright authoritarian Covid restrictions that have been forced onto Australian citizens – it sounds a little less crazy that the country could be setting the precedent for something much more sinister.

Australia has mandated the harshest restrictions of any Western nation since the pandemic began.

The most shocking example of their freedom-crushing tyranny is their so-called “mandatory quarantine centers” for travelers.


Construction on the camps has been underway since the beginning of the year, and they expect all of them to be fully operational in early 2022. The first site that was turned into one of these vax-entration camps – the Howard Springs Quarantine Facility – has been operational for a few months and serves as the blueprint to all of the other locations.

The dystopian facility is a former mining camp on the northern tip of the country and has row after row of “cabins” that can isolate individuals who need a little break from personal liberties and freedom.
Travelers who are forced into the facility are confined to their pod, which has a small porch for them to get fresh air on. The ‘residents’ are pushed bags of food by workers dressed head-to-toe in blue sterile protective gear as they pass by with the meal trolley.

One person describes the daily meal deliveries as “when you shake the bag of dog treats and the dogs come running.”
Even a writer for the woke New York Times compared his experience of being in the “D block” at the Howard Springs Camp to feeling like an animal at the zoo, saying that the entire group of people confined around him were “irritated” at first but had essentially accepted the treatment after a short while of being in there. According to him, the sweet treats they were getting fed were just too good.
“I wondered if an American like me could warm up to the approach.
Most of us in D block – Where I was placed and could talk to a few people at a safe distance from our rooms’ verandas – arrived feeling irritated…


..But at some point, I noticed an attitudinal shift. Maybe we’d been softened by the desserts – the sharp lemon meringue, the lush chocolate tart. One day, when the food delivery carts rumbled in, I peered down our row and noticed that we were all craning our necks, leaning out from our little balconies, like animals at the zoo.”
The camp is being built to replace Australia’s traveler hotel quarantine locations – and unlike the hotels – Howard Springs has reportedly not had any “breaches” or security issues as of yet, but officials say they can “do better.”

Elijah Schaffer of the Blaze sat down with Rebel News to discuss the tyrannical health order and how Covid-1984 is taking over the land down under.
Here is another video with some more shots from inside the camp:
Australian health officials are calling the experimental vaccine the “golden ticket to freedom.” How long will it be until science decides that 14 days isn’t enough time for a proper quarantine? Or that the unvaccinated deserve some time in there to think about how they are “endangering the public”?

As noted above, Australia’s Public Health Chief already said the quiet part out loud – they are looking to see what will work so it can be repeated elsewhere.

In the US, the CDC has already published an approach that discusses building these types of covid-internment camps, using terms like “green zone” and “shielding approach” as euphemisms to make it more palatable.

Tyranny always builds gradually and then happens suddenly. If you think this is just a slippery slope we are on, you are not paying attention.

Clinton-Appointed Judge Blocks New York’s Vaccine Mandate for Healthcare Workers

By Cristina Laila

A federal judge on Tuesday issued an emergency injunction blocking New York state’s vaccine mandate for healthcare workers.

Recall, ousted governor Andrew Cuomo in August announced healthcare workers must take the jab in order to keep their jobs.

A lawsuit filed on Monday by 17 healthcare workers, including doctors and nurses, claimed the vaccine mandate violated their Constitutional rights.

Judge David Hurd of the US District Court for the Northern District of New York, a Clinton appointee on Tuesday granted a temporary restraining order in response to the lawsuit.

“The vaccine mandate is suspended,” reads Judge Hurd’s order, adding the Department of Health is “barred from taking any action, disciplinary or otherwise, against the licensure, certification, residency, admitting privileges or other professional status or qualification of any of the plaintiffs on account of their seeking or having obtained a religious exemption from mandatory Covid-19 vaccination.”

ABC News reported:
UTICA, N.Y. — A federal judge temporarily blocked the state of New York on Tuesday from forcing medical workers to be vaccinated after a group of health care workers sued, saying their Constitutional rights were violated because the state’s mandate disallowed religious exemptions.
Judge David Hurd in Utica issued the order after 17 health professionals, including doctors and nurses, claimed in a lawsuit Monday that their rights were violated with a vaccine mandate that disallowed the exemptions.

The judge gave New York state until Sept. 22 to respond to the lawsuit in federal court in Utica.

Here it is.

On Sunday, Fauci, the man who funded the Wuhan lab research that created the chimeric coronavirus, said he wants unvaccinated people banned from all air travel.

During an appearance on MSNBC Tuesday morning, Fauci admitted this is “seriously being considered.”

Dr. Fauci on Tuesday said proof of vaccination or negative Covid test for domestic travel within the United States “is on the table for discussion.”

This has nothing to do with a virus.

Covid mandates are all about restricting movement, shredding the Constitution and stripping away freedoms.

(VIDEO) Arizona AG Mark Brnovich: “Today, We Have Filed The First Lawsuit In The Nation Against The Unconstitutional Mandates. Arizona Will NOT Tolerate This Assault On Our Sovereignty.”

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich is leading the nation as the first to step up and sue the Biden Regime over the unconstitutional vaccine mandate.


The Gateway Pundit reported on the draconian vaccine mandate that Biden has placed on private businesses throughout America.

Arizona is leading the way once again in standing up to the Federal government with a lawsuit from Attorney General Mark Brnovich’s office.
Brnovich: This is Arizona attorney general Mark Brnovich, we have filed a lawsuit today against the unprecedented and unconstitutional power grab by the Biden administration and the federal government. The Biden administration is unconstitutionally trying to mandate vaccines that may affect hundreds of millions of Americans. It’s not only wrong, it’s unconstitutional, and as we’ve done on the border crisis as we push back against federal overreach through tax and spend policies, we will continue to hold the Biden Administration accountable, and try to stop this federal overreach. Because we need to protect not only Arizona, but the entire United States.

Congressman Paul Gosar chimed in saying that this is exactly what we need.
Gosar: This is exactly what is needed. Thank you @GeneralBrnovich for this important civil rights suit. I repeat: medical care requires informed consent. Forcing medical procedures is neither consensual nor informed. The unequal application of this law is patently unconstitutional
Brnovich’s lawsuit argues that this policy discriminates against American citizens because it does not require illegals immigrants to be vaccinated.
Read the full complaint here.
The illegality and incoherence of Defendants’ policies is also apparent in their differential treatment among immigrants. Those who illegally enter the United States will not be subject to any vaccination mandate.
In stark contrast, aliens who go through legal channels to obtain work visas, lawfully enter the United States, and are employed by a company with more than 99 workers, will be subject to the vaccination mandate. Defendants’ policies thus discriminate between immigrants by unconstitutionally favoring those who illegally entered the United States over those who lawfully did so.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton also plans to sue the Biden Regime over this “egregious, tyrannical power grab”.
Other states need to take action like Arizona.

The Florida AG filed an amicus brief over the vaccine mandates.

This was a strong move from Brnovich, which shows he is not afraid of the despotic Biden Regime.

When the Arizona audit report is released, Mark Brnovich will need to stand up again and make the right call when evidence of fraud is brought to his office.

Why The Biden COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate Is Unconstitutional

TUESDAY, SEP 14, 2021 - 06:45 PM
Authored by attorney and journalist Techno Fog via The Reactionary,

On September 9, President Biden announced he would circumvent the democratic process, ordering the Secretary of the Department of Labor to require employers with over 100 workers to “ensure their workforces are fully vaccinated or show a negative test at least once a week.”

This was essential, as Biden said, “to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated workers.”



As we have explained, the Secretary of Labor will issue these regulations through OSHA by way of an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS). The ETS would allow the Secretary of Labor to issue the vaccine mandate without the normal administrative rulemaking requirements (like notice and public comment periods).



While the Biden Administration tells the public that there’s no time to waste in issuing the mandate, the truth is that OSHA/Labor failed to argue the necessity of a vaccine mandate since the vaccines have been available – a time period approaching one year. Moreover, the Biden Department of Labor is secretly meeting with the US Chamber of Commerce and business lobbyists to gather support for the mandate. As Bloomberg Law reports:
Solicitor of Labor Seema Nanda held a virtual meeting with Neil Bradley, the Chamber’s chief policy officer, and other business lobbyists. The Chamber, the largest business lobbying group in the U.S., has yet to publicly declare a position on the coming Occupational Safety and Health Administration emergency rulemaking.

It was one of at least three briefings the department held Friday for labor union leaders and employer associations—constituencies the White House hopes to forge partnerships with to lift the vaccination rate nationwide. Information from the calls was disclosed to Bloomberg Law by eight sources who took part, all of whom requested anonymity because they didn’t have approval to speak publicly.
Why the Vaccine Mandate is Unconstitutional
As you can imagine, the constitutionality of the vaccine mandate will be a litigated as soon as OSHA issues the rules. The media is running interference, telling the public that challenges to the mandate are “unlikely to succeed.”

Do not believe them.
The legality of the vaccine mandate will be assessed under what is called the major rules doctrine (also known as the major questions doctrine). Under this doctrine, the courts look to (1) whether the agency action is a major rule; and (2) whether Congress has clearly authorized the agency action.

As Justice Scalia stated in 2014, “We expect congress to speak clearly if it wishes to assign to an agency decisions of vast ‘economic and political significance.’”

From here we turn to the first question of the major rules doctrine: there is zero doubt that it is a major rule. It would affect the healthcare decision – and implicate the personal autonomy – of “some 80 million private sector workers.” It is an action never before taken by OSHA, the Department of Labor, and any other federal agency. It would affect the entire US economy.

In support of my position, we have seen lesser invasive agency rules be determined to be major rules. For example, “rate-regulations” of telephone companies has been held to be a major rule. MCI Telecommunications Corp. v. American Telephone & Telegraph Co., 512 U.S. 218 (1994).

From there we get to the second question: whether Congress has clearly authorized the Department of Labor/OSHA to mandate vaccines. The answer is no.

If Congress clearly authorized (not just authorized, but clearly authorized) Labor/OSHA to mandate vaccines, then we would have seen such authority in the OSH Act of 1970. Look for yourself – the language isn’t there. Instead, there are general grants of authority to “set mandatory occupational safety and health standards.”

Looking to the history of OSHA, this authority has been understood to regulate employer actions to provide a safe workplace (Benzene limits) or employee actions at work (operation of heavy equipment). The OSH Act has never been understood historically to include mandatory vaccinations. This is significant because the Supreme Court recently looked to agency history to determine the CDC lacked the authority to issue its latest eviction mandate.

For an example of “clear authority” relating to public health, look to the authority Congress gave HHS the authority to take action in case of “significant outbreaks of infectious diseases.” Going further, to allow the mandate would be to allow OSHA to require vaccination as a condition of employment. The OSH Act contains no such language or authority.

So there we have it. This is a “major rule” and Congress has not “clearly authorized” Labor/OSHA to issue a vaccine mandate. Expect further challenges on whether the ETS itself (and the finding of “grave danger”) is legal.

We also observe that we by no means concede Congressional authority to mandate vaccines. (In other words, Congress could not give OSHA/Labor this authority because Congress has no such authority to give.) Reliance on the 1905 case Jacobsen v. Massachusetts is misplaced, as that was another court in another time considering state, not federal authority.

One Final Point – Why Justice Kavanaugh Matters
In 2017, when Justice Kavanaugh was sitting on the DC Circuit, he wrote a dissent from a denial of rehearing en banc, in which he thoroughly summarized the major rules doctrine. He argued that the FCC’s net neutrality rule was unlawful, in that it was a “major rule” that was not clearly authorized by Congress.

Kavanaugh’s 2017 dissent was one of the most (or perhaps the most) comprehensive discussions of the major rules doctrine ever written in the DC Circuit. Kavanaugh went through a number of Supreme Court cases in support of his position and argued the doctrine essential to uphold the separation of powers. To this author, it reveals Kavanaugh values this doctrine and believes it should be applied with vigor. We see an example of this in Justice Kavanaugh’s concurring opinion in the original application to vacate the stay of the CDC eviction moratorium (June 29, 2021), where Kavanaugh wrote “clear and specific congressional authorization (via new legislation) would be necessary for the CDC to extend the moratorium.”

Whether Kavanaugh has the courage to apply his convictions is another matter.

Massachusetts Activates National Guard To Bus School Children After Vax Mandate Staffing Shortages

TUESDAY, SEP 14, 2021 - 07:25 PM
Amid fresh national, state and local vaccine mandates being driven forward by the Biden administration, schools and public services have clearly been most immediately hit by personnel shortages as a large chunk of the population remains 'vaccine hesitant' - or refuses to be forced into a mandated Covid vaccine, or perhaps are also already immune through a prior infection. Other staff are said to fear catching coronavirus from the largely unvaccinated student population.

States like Massachusetts are now struggling with public school staffing shortages to the point that children literally can no longer take the bus to school as there aren't enough drivers. The large school district of Boston, for example, admitted at the start of the school year that the vaccine requirement would inevitably result in drivers staying home. "City leaders say part of the reason for the shortage in Boston is that some drivers are not vaccinated, which is a requirement," a local report underscored.

Image source: US Air Force


Now the state is having to take drastic action and even greater intervention in the crisis, with Republican Governor Charlie Baker on Monday activating the Massachusetts National Guard in order to get school transportation up and running.

An official statement from Gov. Baker's office said "The Governor’s order makes up to 250 personnel available. Beginning with training on Tuesday, 90 Guard members will prepare for service in Chelsea, Lawrence, Lowell, and Lynn."

And further it said "These Guard personnel will be available to serve as drivers of school transport vans known as 7D vehicles to address staffing shortages in certain districts." The 7D vehicles have been described as smaller than regular yellow school buses.

Baker sought to assure communities that "The Guard has a proven track record of success supporting civilian authorities. Their frequent side-by-side training with state and local first responders makes them well-suited for a variety of missions."

Of course, the obvious question is whether uniformed national guardsmen might have bigger duties to be prepared for, such as defending the country and responding to state and national emergencies. The governor sought to address this, saying "The mission will not interfere with the Massachusetts National Guard’s ability to respond to and assist in emergencies within the Commonwealth."

1631680243680.png

According to Axios, many school districts across the country are experiencing such transportation staffing shortages as vaccine mandates went into effect:

"Schools across the country are experiencing a shortage of bus drivers, which has worsened during the coronavirus pandemic." Axios highlighted further that "More than 80% of school districts reported having issued finding an adequate number of drivers."

Japanese Study — ‘Delta variant is poised to acquire complete resistance to Vaccines’…

Posted by Kane on September 14, 2021 6:44 pm


SOURCE — DR MERCOLA

Study Shows Vaccine Will ENHANCE Delta Infectivity

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
  • A group of Japanese researchers released research showing that the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant “is poised to acquire complete resistance” to existing COVID-19 jabs
  • When four common mutations were introduced to the Delta variant, Pfizer’s mRNA injection enhanced its infectivity, causing it to become resistant
  • A Delta variant with three mutations has already emerged, which suggests it’s only a matter of time before a fourth mutation develops, at which point complete resistance to Pfizer’s jab may be imminent
  • A number of experts have raised concerns that COVID-19 jabs and the mass vaccination program could worsen the pandemic by triggering the development of new variants, via a concept known as antigenic, or immune, escape
  • Another study found that a worst-case scenario can develop when a large percentage of a population is vaccinated but viral transmission remains high, driving the development of resistant strains
COVID-19 jabs continue to be pushed as the only solution to the pandemic, even as “breakthrough” infections increasingly occur. A group of Japanese researchers has also released research showing that the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant “is poised to acquire complete resistance” to existing COVID-19 jabs like Pfizer and BioNTech’s BNT162b2,1 now being sold as Comirnaty.

What’s more, when four common mutations were introduced to the Delta variant, Pfizer’s mRNA injection enhanced its infectivity, causing it to become resistant. A Delta variant with three mutations has already emerged,2 which suggests it’s only a matter of time before a fourth mutation develops, at which point complete resistance to Pfizer’s jab may be imminent.

mRNA COVID-19 Injection Made Delta Variant More Infectious
The spike protein used in mRNA COVID-19 vaccines consists of the original SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, without mutations. Multiple variants of concern (VOC) have emerged, however, which have numerous mutations and are highly infectious. As mutations increase, so do concerns over vaccine resistance and enhanced infectivity. As the researchers explained in bioRxiv, the preprint server for biology:3
“The receptor binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein binds to the host cell receptor ACE2, and the interaction mediates membrane fusion during SARS-CoV-2 infection.Neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 are mainly directed to the RBD and block the interaction between the RBD and ACE2. Most SARS-CoV-2 variants have acquired mutations in the neutralizing antibody epitopes of the RBD, resulting in escape from neutralizing antibodies.”
When a single mutation was added to the Delta spike, most of the anti-RBD antibodies still recognized it. This wasn’t the case with four mutations, however, which the researchers called Delta 4+. Not only was Delta 4+ not recognized, but infectivity was enhanced:4
“… we analyzed the Delta 4+ pseudovirus with four additional RBD mutations. Surprisingly, most BNT162b2-immune sera enhanced infectivity of the Delta 4+ pseudovirus in a dose-dependent manner at relatively low concentrations of BNT162b2-immune sera, but showed weak neutralization only at the highest concentration of the sera.Especially, PFZ7 greatly enhanced the infectivity at relatively low serum concentration. Some sera, such as PFZ13 and PFZ14, did not show neutralizing activity even at the highest concentration of the sera.”
In short, while Pfizer’s COVID-19 jab still neutralized the Delta variant, when four common mutations were introduced to the RBD, the vaccine lost the ability to neutralize the variant and instead enhanced its infectivity.

Although Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2-immune sera neutralized the Delta variant, when four common mutations were introduced into the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the Delta variant (Delta 4+), some BNT162b2-immune sera lost neutralizing activity and enhanced the infectivity. This has implications for booster shots on the horizon as well, which are unlikely to be effective.

“A third round of booster immunization with the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine is currently under consideration,” the researchers explained. “Our data suggest that repeated immunization with the wild-type spike may not be effective in controlling the newly emerging Delta variants.”5

Despite the growing recognition that increasing injections may only make matters worse, President Biden said he has spoken with Dr. Anthony Fauci about giving booster shots at the five-month mark after the initial round of injections rather than waiting eight months, as previously suggested.6

Immune Escape: How the Injections Could Make Variants Worse
A number of experts have raised concerns that COVID-19 jabs and the mass vaccination program could worsen the pandemic by triggering the development of new variants, via a concept known as antigenic, or immune, escape.

A general principle in biology, vaccinology and microbiology is that if you put living organisms like bacteria or viruses under pressure, via antibiotics, antibodies or chemotherapeutics, for example, but don’t kill them off completely, you can inadvertently encourage their mutation into more virulent strains. Those that escape your immune system end up surviving and selecting mutations to ensure their further survival.

Already, variants have emerged that are showing signs of vaccine resistance. August 30, 2021, the World Health Organization highlighted the mu variant as a variant of interest (VOI), stating it has “a constellation of mutations that indicate potential properties of immune escape.”12

As of August 31, 2021, 39 countries had reported mu cases.13 The lambda variant, which WHO designated as a VOI on June 14, 2021,14 also shows signs of increased infectivity and resistance to vaccines. Writing in medRxiv, researchers from Chile noted:15
“Our results indicate that mutations present in the spike protein of the Lambda variant of interest confer increased infectivity and immune escape from neutralizing antibodies elicited by CoronaVac.These data reinforce the idea that massive vaccination campaigns in countries with high SARS-CoV-2 circulation must be accompanied by strict genomic surveillance allowing the identification of new isolates carrying spike mutations and immunology studies aimed to determine the impact of these mutations in immune escape and vaccines breakthrough.”
Is Natural Immunity Superior for Variants?
As further evidence of COVID shots’ waning effectiveness and the superiority of natural immunity, data presented July 17, 2021, to the Israeli Health Ministry revealed that, of the more than 7,700 COVID-19 cases reported since May 2021, only 72 occurred in people who had previously had COVID-19 — a rate of less than 1%. In contrast, more than 3,000 cases — or approximately 40% — occurred in people who had received a COVID-19 vaccine.16

In other words, those who were vaccinated were 6.72 times — nearly 700% — more likely to develop COVID-19 than those who had natural immunity from a prior infection. Speaking with journalist Daniel Horowitz, pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole explained that natural immunity produces broad immunity that can’t be matched by vaccination:17
“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 SARSCOV1 is at 17 years and running still.”
A retrospective observational study published August 25, 2021,18 also found that natural immunity is superior to immunity from COVID-19 jabs, with researchers stating, “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.”

Further, according to a team of researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine, 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.19

Unfortunately, health officials aren’t making a distinction for those who have recovered from COVID-19 and continue to recommend injections for all, which may be adding fuel to the fire instead of extinguishing it.

Rochester, New York, if it isn’t the center for American protests against vaccine mandates, it is a definite contender. Rochester was home to all sorts of reformers at one time, including Susan B. Anthony, Frederick Douglass, and the sisters who invented spiritualism (seances and such) in an era when women didn’t often take center stage. I’ve joked for a while about possible new contenders to the Rochester reformer throne, but I didn’t really believe they’d ever appear. I may have been wrong.

I attended as a reporter my second protest against vaccine mandates this week, taking place in front of the University of Rochester Medical Center, and was surprised at the change from a URMC protest I’d attended a few weeks before. At the earlier protest, the third in a series of Monday morning protests, I was happy that the attendance hadn’t seemed to have waned from what had been reported from the prior week, but this week, week six, was a shock to the system.

The difference between the two weeks I’d attended was similar to wandering the back hallways of a stadium looking for your seating section (the earlier protest), and then that moment when you take the stairs into the grand hall to see the masses gathering, smell the smoke, and find the world laid out before you (the later protest). Week three’s polite demonstration had become a raucous event by week six as the clock wound down to the local vaccine mandate. Sizable groups of protesters left the main body of demonstrators that lined both sides of the street to parade around the campus grounds. The crowd lining the street was so dense the parading protesters were not missed in the least.



There are three women at the heart of this thing, maybe more, but three I’m aware of: Shannon Joy, Merle McDonald, and Devan Smalley. Shannon Joy is unquestionably queen bee, being both a loved and often-dismissed local radio host who has camped out on the topic of vaccines, but McDonald, Joy’s mother, I found during an interview with her at week three’s protest was a formidable protest organizer in Joy’s absence. And Smalley? I had the impression during my interview with McDonald that the unknown-to-me-then Smalley was, like McDonald, also a senior nurse and sacrificing what was left of her career for the sake of younger women in the field afraid to speak out against vaccine mandates. I was mistaken.



I’d only corresponded with Smalley, the group member who’d had the idea for the protests, by email just before the sixth protest and really had no idea who I was speaking to. When I arrived at the sixth demonstration, surrounded by swarms of people, I approached a man I’d met at the third week’s protest, which we’d discovered while talking knew my father back in the day. I reintroduced myself to the man, and at the mention of my last name, he joked, “Oh, yeah. The hockey player”, as there may have been a Canuck hockey player with the same surname as mine. By weird coincidence, in a crowd of hundreds, Smalley was standing near enough to our conversation to hear it and introduce herself as the person I’d been corresponding with. She was just a bit more than a kid. She’d mentioned in an email she would be resigning from her position soon. She wasn’t chucking a career in its last days; she was risking her career in its prime.

While on the face of it, the vibe of the protest was upbeat. You can’t get away from the local arrests that play out as the backdrop to the joyfully honking cars mobbing past the placards and flags lining the street. Where to begin with local arrests? Lawyer Chad Hummel, standing outdoors away from the other parents while watching his son’s baseball game, wasn’t wearing his mask. Bam. Arrested.

Beautiful explanation by him of the event on a local podcast. Next up, what I’ve already explained in the Uncover DC article “Health Department Intimidation Squad at Broadcaster’s Home.” Radio host Shannon Joy was harassed at her home—specifically, Shannon Joy’s children were harassed at the family’s home—by two contact tracers and two police officers acting under the direction of local health czar Mike Mendoza. Joy’s now got a lawsuit going due to the incident, two actually, one for harassment and one challenging the constitutionality of quarantine orders on due process. Since covering the third week’s protest, Shannon Joy made news yet again when she took her mask off at a school board meeting. Arrested? Sure, you bet. If Rochester were Sodom or Gomorrah, you couldn’t find a single principled person worth saving without checking local holding cells.

This brings me to the crux of the thing: this isn’t a battle between anti-vaxxers and vaxxers. This is a battle between objectors to COVID restrictions and bureaucrats, or as I could refer to the bureaucrats derogatorily, “good Germans.”

I know many of you may be thinking that the designation “good German” is overused. Your loss then that I have the chance to check myself while writing papers. It turns out that Eric Metaxas, the world’s premier authority on Nazi-resister Dietrich Bonhoeffer, thinks the “good German” description isn’t entirely off-base in this instance. Here’s a relevant section of a recent Eric Metaxas podcast, following Metaxas’ acknowledgment that “there’s nothing that can really compare to what happened under Hitler”:

Metaxas: “We are being encouraged to hate those who aren’t getting the vaccine as though they are dangerous, as though they are selfish and murderous. It’s good to hate them for the sake of the country. It’s good to hate those people, and you and I are two of them.”

John Zmirak (show guest): “Eric, it is right out of Bonhoeffer because remember what the Nazis said about Jews and socialists and Christians who resisted. They said that they were viruses. They said they were a threat, a biological threat to the community who must be first quarantined and then later exterminated. You see, it’s a very, very powerful tool of manipulation to use the language of public health when you, in fact, are seeking control.”


The bureaucrats’ front line in the war against objectors to COVID restrictions is the objectors’ immediate supervisors who can threaten the livelihood of their subordinates. Nurse and protest organizer Merle McDonald, while having something of a motherly and forgiving nature, expressed her disillusionment with her supervisors during our talk on week three of the URMC protests:

“I don’t trust them. It’s sad. I have never caused trouble anywhere. I am an exemplary worker. I work hard. I always supported and respected the people that are above me, the Director of Nursing at Highland (Hospital), and I feel like they have so let us down that I don’t understand it except they’re all being told that they’ll lose their jobs that they aren’t looking at the right… I can hardly believe they’re not looking at the right information…”

When I interviewed Devan Smalley by phone the day after the sixth protest, I expected her to repeat McDonald’s sentiments about her own supervisors. She surprised me by saying that her supervisor had not received the vaccine, had been supportive of her, even referring various staff members to Smalley if they seemed to resist the idea of the vaccine. Smalley said:

From the get-go, she has been an advocate and ally for me, which is not the case for the majority throughout the healthcare systems.

You might wonder what life will look like for Smalley’s supervisor if the mandate takes effect and she’s still unvaccinated at that point, or I did anyway as Smalley was talking about her. It turned out Smalley was also wondering. She continued a few sentences on:

“She is so supportive, and I think her heart is bleeding with all of us though she is in a manager’s position, and I truly don’t know what the future looks like for her, but I am thankful for the support.”

Due to URMC’s demands, it had been mentioned the week before in one of her emails to me that Smalley was preparing to resign from her position. I asked in our interview what job prospects would look like for unvaccinated nurses if the mandate went into effect, and I was surprised by the timing of what Smalley then told me:

“It’s funny you asked this because I actually resigned today, and I feel so free, and I feel so good.”

I didn’t know what to say, so it’s good she kept talking. I hadn’t expected she’d resign before it was absolutely necessary. She continued:

“So, if there is anybody who is on the fence about what to do and they’re fearful of that day coming as if it’s doom and gloom, it feels liberating, and I choose to do it because I did not want my life to be controlled or held to the games they’re playing, the psychological games they’re playing. I just didn’t want my life to be in limbo anymore, and I just needed to make that resignation on my own terms.”

Smalley then returned to my question of where unvaccinated nurses might find employment if the mandate goes into effect:

“In regard to jobs, I am using my platform on social media to help nurses find other jobs. There’s a lot out there. I know that law firms locally are hiring nurses to review medical records. I know that families that have previously left the NICU or other families are looking for home care. Home nurses, you can do it private duty; you can work just privately with the families. A lot of nurses are actually finding jobs remotely in other states to either review medical records or for insurance companies, and the travel agencies—which are not even spoken of—but a lot of the travel agencies (for nurses willing to move hospital to hospital for contracts that run eight to thirteen weeks) are not mandating the vaccine or requiring it. Go someplace warm. There are a lot of states that are not mandating this.”

Among the final topics, I broached with Smalley was a question about why nurses were left to protest vaccine mandates rather than doctors? Wouldn’t this all be a lot easier if doctors stood up?



As a listener to Tracy Beanz’s Dark to Light Podcast, I’d heard enough top-tier physicians and researchers to act as wake-up calls for doctors, and Beanz’s show is just one among many covering unintended effects of the vaccine. I knew through the podcast, for instance, that Dr. Robert Malone—the inventor of mRNA vaccines—revealed that the jab could lead to future disease enhancement (antibody-dependent enhancement, or ADE), or as he said in a clip played on the podcast, “The vaccine causes the virus to become more infectious than would happen in the absence of vaccination.” So why then weren’t local doctors spearheading the resistance at the street level? Smalley answered,

“I’m not sure. I don’t know if it’s the liability or the fear for their credentials on the line. I don’t know if it’s the nature of the nurses, of us spending our careers advocating for patients, that we now have that backbone of steel to advocate for ourselves. I did listen to a podcast that was extremely powerful with an interview with these allopathic doctors, and they did have answers as to why we do not see a lot of these doctors standing up against it. The takeaway I got was that it’s the big pill to swallow of their five-hundred-thousand dollars of student debt and all their schooling to then kind of turn their backs on the mainstream medicine that got them where they are. So, I don’t know whether it’d be ego or pride, or fear truly. I don’t know if I have a clear answer to that.”

In Susan B. Anthony’s city, it’s been left to the women again.

Singapore studying possibility of non-mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 booster shots: Janil Puthucheary

14 Sep 2021 02:04PM (Updated: 15 Sep 2021 12:42PM)

SINGAPORE: Singapore is studying the possibility of using non-mRNA vaccines as booster shots and is in talks with suppliers to obtain the vials, said Senior Minister of State for Health Janil Puthucheary in Parliament on Tuesday (Sep 14).

Dr Puthucheary was responding to several questions by Members of Parliament (MP) on Singapore's vaccination strategy and how it applies to the path towards eventually living with COVID-19.

The Ministry of Health's (MOH) Expert Committee on COVID-19 vaccination is “actively studying a heterologous strategy involving non-mRNA vaccines”, he said, adding that the ministry will continue to observe global and local data - particularly on the risk of adverse reactions - before recommending booster shots for additional population groups.

Currently, the committee has recommended that seniors aged 60 and above receive a booster jab six to nine months after their second dose, while immunocompromised individuals should get a booster two months after their second dose.

MOH had said on Sep 3 that immunocompromised people should get a third dose of the same mRNA vaccine to "ensure that they start off with an adequate protective immune response to vaccination".

It also said then that the expert committee would study whether a different brand of vaccine would be more effective as a booster shot. Some studies have shown that this could be the case.

"We are negotiating with suppliers to provide us non-mRNA booster shots, and a few are preparing their applications for PSAR (pandemic special access route)," Dr Puthucheary said on Tuesday.

The PSAR allows the Health Sciences Authority to grant interim authorisation for critical novel vaccines, medicines and medical devices during a pandemic. The only COVID-19 vaccines currently approved under PSAR are the mRNA vaccines Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.

China's Sinovac vaccine, an inactivated type, was in June approved for use in Singapore under a different Special Access Route after it was approved for emergency use by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Non-mRNA vaccines on WHO's emergency use list include viral vector vaccines such as Oxford-AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson, as well as another inactivated vaccine Sinopharm.

Singapore has also signed advance purchase agreements with American biotechnology company Novavax to secure its protein-based vaccine, with supplies possibly arriving before the end of the year.

"We have a deliberate strategy to procure a portfolio of vaccines that use different technologies, to improve our chances of securing vaccines that will continue to be safe and effective against COVID-19," Dr Puthucheary added.

As of Sep 9, 81 per cent of Singapore's population have completed their full vaccine regimen, while 85 per cent have received at least one dose as of the vaccine.

VACCINATION NOT THE BE ALL END ALL
Nevertheless, Dr Puthucheary reiterated that vaccination is not the only factor in Singapore's journey to living with COVID-19, with case numbers, transmission trajectory, adherence to safe management measures and status of testing regimes also critical.

"It needs to be complemented by pervasive testing and safe management measures to detect and ringfence infections in the community early, so as to control community transmission," he said.

Given the current spike in the number of COVID-19 cases, Dr Puthucheary said the Government has decided to put a pause on the transition plan.

“So while we have achieved our vaccination target of 80 per cent, taking all this into account we have decided to pause the transition plan, given the rising number of cases currently," he said.

"We are not reversing course, and neither are we charging ahead."

Still, he acknowledged the need to open up social and economic activities to avoid the risk of “permanently damaging our ability to earn a living”.

“But we have to do so safely, which means reducing the number of people falling very sick to a minimum. For this, vaccination continues to be key,” he stated.

MAKING VACCINES COMPULSORY?
In response to MP Alex Yam (PAP-Marsiling–Yew Tee), who asked if the Government would consider making vaccines and boosters compulsory, Dr Puthucheary said: "We will study the matter when it arises".

"As to making the vaccine compulsory, well, I think firstly we do need to wait for that process, if it happens at all. We also need to then look at our context," he said.

Dr Puthucheary said Mr Yam could be referring to the situation in the US, where President Joe Biden's administration has made it compulsory for employees of the federal government and large private sector companies to be vaccinated.

"Our context is different, our vaccine rates are much higher. The acceptance by our population of vaccinations, has also been very different," Dr Puthucheary added. "So, we will look at the matter, but I think at the moment, there is no full approval, anytime soon."

COULD SINGAPORE'S VACCINATION RATE HAVE BEEN FASTER?
MP Jamus Lim (WP-Sengkang) asked why the Government was not able to accelerate the roll-out of vaccines in the first three months of this year, given that it had secured advance agreements with vaccine manufacturers.

"I'm afraid I continue to disagree with the characterisation that our rate of vaccination roll-out was in fact as rapid as could be," said Associate Professor Lim although he acknowledged that Singapore's vaccination rate is one of the highest in the world.

Dr Puthucheary said the pace of Singapore's vaccine roll-out at the beginning was constrained by the supply from manufacturers, who were "under some strain" to produce as much as they could for the whole world.

"But I think our contractual agreements were honoured," he said, noting that vaccine doses were delivered to Singapore as part of its advance purchase agreement.

"If (Assoc Prof Lim) was suggesting that perhaps we should have renegotiated the agreements or not honoured the agreements in some way or changed it, he can hold on to that opinion."

Dr Puthucheary thanked Assoc Prof Lim for acknowledging that Singapore has now done "relatively well" compared to what the situation was in March.

"Ultimately it's that destination which is of importance and will protect us," he added.

TESTING SUBSIDIES FOR PEOPLE WHO CANNOT BE VACCINATED
Rounding off the supplementary questions, Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh (WP-Aljunied) asked if members of the public who cannot get vaccinated for medical reasons could get subsidies for additional antigen rapid test (ART) kits.

From Oct 1, frontline workers in high-risk workplace settings, including healthcare, food and beverage, and public service, will need to be vaccinated or take an ART twice a week. These tests will be subsidised only if the worker is medically ineligible for the vaccine.

In response, Dr Puthucheary said people who cannot get vaccinated due to medical reasons only make up a "small number", and that this figure is "not an absolute cut and dry".

"Some of it is a continued assessment. You're waiting, for example, your chemotherapy to be completed, or to recover from your surgery and so forth. So, it's not a fixed number. We will play very close attention to it," he said.

Dr Puthucheary said these people have some degree of vulnerability to COVID-19 and need to be careful about their exposure to the wider community, adding that testing is not going to protect them from this vulnerability.

"So it's not quite the same as the circumstances where you have someone who for some reason is allergic to the vaccine, and then cannot complete the vaccination regimen, but would like to then go out and work and is otherwise healthy," he said.

-------
That ought to do it. Let's see which state has the nuts to enact it; the cost of the State Treasury is very nearly zero as the base rate should cover operating expenses as the basic SUI structure is already present within the State machinery.

Governors Lee and DeSantis, where are you!

Horowitz: The unmistakable ivermectin miracle in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh
OP-ED

DANIEL HOROWITZ
August 24, 2021

Sergio Yoneda/Getty Images

Uttar Pradesh might sound obscure to most Americans, but it is the most populated state in India, with urban areas that rival the most densely populated cities in the U.S. Yet, miraculously, despite housing a population of 240 million people, this northern state has been averaging only 24 cases and 0-2 deaths per day in recent months. Despite its size — roughly 73% of the U.S. population — it ranked dead last in cases per capita last week among India's 36 states. What gives?

The answer likely lies in the 10-letter "I-word" that you are not allowed to mention on social media: ivermectin. Evidently, the global medical junta doesn't like the over 60 studies vouching for the efficacy of ivermectin against SARS-CoV-2, especially when used early, but there is something better than a study: pure reality of lived experience.

Last year, the northern state of Uttar Pradesh began dispensing ivermectin liberally and encouraging people to take it early on and even preventively. As Trial Site News reported earlier this year, "By the end of 2020, Uttar Pradesh — which distributed free ivermectin for home care — had the second-lowest fatality rate in India at 0.26 per 100,000 residents in December. Only the state of Bihar, with 128 million residents, was lower, and it, too, recommends ivermectin."

As you can see, COVID has been dead in Uttar Pradesh with the exception of a very brief six-week spike in the early spring. Uttar Pradesh likely would have been the first world experiment of what a given area would have looked like had they been taking ivermectin from day one before a wave hit. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of seasonal migrants fled Mumbai and other big cities when the Delta wave hit and all settled back in their villages in Uttar Pradesh, giving them the same spike that every other state got because those people were not on ivermectin. As the AP reported in mid-April, during the surge in Uttar Pradesh, many of these seasonal workers who work half the year in the big cities returned home to their villages. They were likely not taking ivermectin.

But when the state began distributing the drug to everyone, cases plummeted quicker and sharper than anywhere else we've seen in the world, and the gains have held for months with record low cases. Dr. Surya Kant Tripathi, head of the Respiratory Medicine Department, King George Medical University, Lucknow, told the Financial Express Online in April that the state began giving ivermectin to everyone who was in home isolation (rather than telling them to do nothing until they can't breathe, like we do here in the United States).

They also avoided use of the odious remdesivir. "All trials are saying that this drug is not effective in the treatment of COVID-19, rather it is complicating and resulting in mortality of patients," said Dr. Tripathi. "At so many centers, remdesivir trials were stopped. Also, remdesivir is costing minimum of Rs 5,000 per vial."

Overall, the death rate in Uttar Pradesh was roughly 95 per million people, roughly 1/20 the death rate of the U.S. More importantly, despite being the largest state in India, it incurred one-third the death rate of the country as a whole.

Take a look at this comparison between the death curve in Uttar Pradesh and the curve in India at large:

You will see that Uttar Pradesh experienced a plummeting of deaths more precipitous than India in the aggregate. Moreover, while cases and deaths in recent months have generally been pretty low in India because most people already got the virus, the pandemic is completely dead in Uttar Pradesh.

To put this comparison in another perspective, it took from May 9 to June 23 (45 days) for cases to decline 86% off the peak seven-day average for India at large.

Not only did Uttar Pradesh peak earlier (April 27), it took just 30 days for it to achieve an 86% drop. By the 45-day window of comparison, cases in Uttar Pradesh had already dropped 98%. Today, it stands at 99.93% off the peak!

Now let's compare this to the state of Kerala, which has removed ivermectin and other proven therapeutics from its treatment protocol and has gone all in on the ineffective remdesivir. Not only have cases not declined, but they have gone backward.

Remember, Kerala, at 34 million people, is just a fraction of the size of Uttar Pradesh.

Furthermore, just 4.5% of people in Uttar Pradesh are fully vaccinated, compared to 20% in Kerala. In this tiny state, already 70% of people 45 years and older and almost 56% of its population have had at least one shot.

Some might suggest that Kerala, being a southern state, is not a good comparison to the northern state of Uttar Pradesh because it is likely on a different epidemiological schedule. However, while Uttar Pradesh was the first state to use ivermectin, others have followed suit. Goa, which is a southern state, began offering ivermectin to all adults on May 11 and experienced a remarkable and durable decline.

Delhi, Karnataka, and Uttarakhand also used ivermectin widely and have basically eradicated the virus.

Thus, if anything, if we are to believe a government can force people to inject medicine into their bodies to stop the virus, governments everywhere would be following the science by a factor of 100 were they to mandate ivermectin rather than the vaccines. Everyone now agrees the vaccines do not stop transmission.

The only question is how long the efficacy against serious illness lasts, for whom, and whether it broadly creates antibody dependent disease enhancement.

We already have dozens of studies vouching for the efficacy of ivermectin. While the establishment likes to complain about the sample size of each one individually, as one study published in Nature noted, "The probability that an ineffective treatment generated results as positive for the 55 studies to date is estimated to be 1 in 23 trillion (p = 0.000000000000043)." The story of Uttar Pradesh and the other Indian states that used ivermectin certainly demonstrates this.

Ivermectin was regarded as a "wonder drug" responsible for virtually eradicating river blindness in Africa. Given its robust anti-viral and anti-inflammatory mechanisms of action, Uttar Pradesh is a living testament that it could have been used to wipe COVID off the map as well. Sadly, the Western world would rather bankrupt us and cause more deaths for politically driven solutions that don't work than cede back to the people the control they've established. Perhaps there is a lot we can learn from the third world, for we are now seeing the growth of a "fourth world" mentality that is much more destructive than the third world.

Study Shows Vaccine Will ENHANCE Delta Infectivity
by Dr. Joseph Mercola

September 14, 2021
Study Shows Vaccine Will ENHANCE Delta Infectivity

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
  • A group of Japanese researchers released research showing that the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant “is poised to acquire complete resistance” to existing COVID-19 jabs
  • When four common mutations were introduced to the Delta variant, Pfizer’s mRNA injection enhanced its infectivity, causing it to become resistant
  • A Delta variant with three mutations has already emerged, which suggests it’s only a matter of time before a fourth mutation develops, at which point complete resistance to Pfizer’s jab may be imminent
  • A number of experts have raised concerns that COVID-19 jabs and the mass vaccination program could worsen the pandemic by triggering the development of new variants, via a concept known as antigenic, or immune, escape
  • Another study found that a worst-case scenario can develop when a large percentage of a population is vaccinated but viral transmission remains high, driving the development of resistant strains
COVID-19 jabs continue to be pushed as the only solution to the pandemic, even as “breakthrough” infections increasingly occur. A group of Japanese researchers has also released research showing that the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant “is poised to acquire complete resistance” to existing COVID-19 jabs like Pfizer and BioNTech’s BNT162b2,1 now being sold as Comirnaty.

What’s more, when four common mutations were introduced to the Delta variant, Pfizer’s mRNA injection enhanced its infectivity, causing it to become resistant. A Delta variant with three mutations has already emerged,2 which suggests it’s only a matter of time before a fourth mutation develops, at which point complete resistance to Pfizer’s jab may be imminent.

mRNA COVID-19 Injection Made Delta Variant More Infectious
The spike protein used in mRNA COVID-19 vaccines consists of the original SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, without mutations. Multiple variants of concern (VOC) have emerged, however, which have numerous mutations and are highly infectious. As mutations increase, so do concerns over vaccine resistance and enhanced infectivity. As the researchers explained in bioRxiv, the preprint server for biology:3

“The receptor binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein binds to the host cell receptor ACE2, and the interaction mediates membrane fusion during SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 are mainly directed to the RBD and block the interaction between the RBD and ACE2. Most SARS-CoV-2 variants have acquired mutations in the neutralizing antibody epitopes of the RBD, resulting in escape from neutralizing antibodies.”


When a single mutation was added to the Delta spike, most of the anti-RBD antibodies still recognized it. This wasn’t the case with four mutations, however, which the researchers called Delta 4+. Not only was Delta 4+ not recognized, but infectivity was enhanced:4

“… we analyzed the Delta 4+ pseudovirus with four additional RBD mutations. Surprisingly, most BNT162b2-immune sera enhanced infectivity of the Delta 4+ pseudovirus in a dose-dependent manner at relatively low concentrations of BNT162b2-immune sera, but showed weak neutralization only at the highest concentration of the sera.

Especially, PFZ7 greatly enhanced the infectivity at relatively low serum concentration. Some sera, such as PFZ13 and PFZ14, did not show neutralizing activity even at the highest concentration of the sera.”


In short, while Pfizer’s COVID-19 jab still neutralized the Delta variant, when four common mutations were introduced to the RBD, the vaccine lost the ability to neutralize the variant and instead enhanced its infectivity.

Although Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2-immune sera neutralized the Delta variant, when four common mutations were introduced into the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the Delta variant (Delta 4+), some BNT162b2-immune sera lost neutralizing activity and enhanced the infectivity. This has implications for booster shots on the horizon as well, which are unlikely to be effective.

“A third round of booster immunization with the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine is currently under consideration,” the researchers explained. “Our data suggest that repeated immunization with the wild-type spike may not be effective in controlling the newly emerging Delta variants.”5

Despite the growing recognition that increasing injections may only make matters worse, President Biden said he has spoken with Dr. Anthony Fauci about giving booster shots at the five-month mark after the initial round of injections rather than waiting eight months, as previously suggested.6

Immune Escape: How the Injections Could Make Variants Worse
A number of experts have raised concerns that COVID-19 jabs and the mass vaccination program could worsen the pandemic by triggering the development of new variants, via a concept known as antigenic, or immune, escape.

A general principle in biology, vaccinology and microbiology is that if you put living organisms like bacteria or viruses under pressure, via antibiotics, antibodies or chemotherapeutics, for example, but don’t kill them off completely, you can inadvertently encourage their mutation into more virulent strains. Those that escape your immune system end up surviving and selecting mutations to ensure their further survival.

Geert Vanden Bossche, Ph.D., a vaccinology expert and former global director of vaccine programs, including work for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is among those who have warned about immune escape due to the pressure being placed upon the virus during mass vaccination.

“It will have a very tough time … and a lot of these microorganisms will die,” Bossche says. “But if you cannot really kill them all, if you cannot prevent, completely, the infection and if there are still some microorganisms that can replicate despite this huge pressure, they will start to select mutations that enable them to survive.”7

COVID-19 has a high capacity for mutation but, according to Bossche, if the virus isn’t under pressure, it won’t necessarily see a need to select mutations to, for instance, become more infectious. But if you put it under pressure, as is occurring during the mass vaccination campaign — or as Bossche calls it the “one big experiment” — this may change.

Dr. Peter McCullough — an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist and a full professor of medicine at Texas A&M College of Medicine in Dallas, who is also the editor of two medical journals and has published hundreds of studies in the literature — is also concerned about immune escape:8

“If we keep this up with the injections, there is going to be one variant after another … We’re playing with fire here with this mass vaccination … My interpretation as an internist and cardiologist — I’m a trained epidemiologist, I’ve literally done a year of intense COVID research and training — I’m going to tell you, I think this Delta outbreak that we have right now is the product of mass vaccination.

If we didn’t have the jab, we would have been better off. We had already treated this down to a very acceptable level.”


Mass Vaccination Driving Vaccine-Resistant Mutants
Another study — this one based on a mathematical model — simulates how vaccination rates and the rate of viral transmission influence SARS-CoV-2 variants.9 They found that a worst-case scenario can develop when a large percentage of a population is vaccinated but viral transmission remains high — much as it is now. This represents the prime scenario for the development of resistant mutant strains. As noted in the study, published in Scientific Reports:10
“… [A] counterintuitive result of our analysis is that the highest risk of resistant strain establishment occurs when a large fraction of the population has already been vaccinated but the transmission is not controlled.

Similar conclusions have been reached in a SIR model of the ongoing pandemic and a model of pathogen escape from host immunity. Furthermore, empirical data consistent with this result has been reported for influenza.”


It’s very similar to the development of antibiotic resistance, during which bacteria mutate and get stronger to survive the assault of antibacterial agents. COVID-19 shots do not block infection completely; they allow infection to occur and may lessen symptoms, but during that time viruses can mutate to evade the immune system.

In an unvaccinated person, the virus does not encounter the same evolutionary pressure to mutate into something stronger but, according to Paul Bieniasz, a Howard Hughes investigator at the Rockefeller University, partially vaccinated individuals “might serve as sort of a breeding ground for the virus to acquire new mutations.”11

Mu, Lambda Variants Showing Resistance
Already, variants have emerged that are showing signs of vaccine resistance.

August 30, 2021, the World Health Organization highlighted the mu variant as a variant of interest (VOI), stating it has “a constellation of mutations that indicate potential properties of immune escape.”12

As of August 31, 2021, 39 countries had reported mu cases.13 The lambda variant, which WHO designated as a VOI on June 14, 2021,14 also shows signs of increased infectivity and resistance to vaccines. Writing in medRxiv, researchers from Chile noted:15

“Our results indicate that mutations present in the spike protein of the Lambda variant of interest confer increased infectivity and immune escape from neutralizing antibodies elicited by CoronaVac.

These data reinforce the idea that massive vaccination campaigns in countries with high SARS-CoV-2 circulation must be accompanied by strict genomic surveillance allowing the identification of new isolates carrying spike mutations and immunology studies aimed to determine the impact of these mutations in immune escape and vaccines breakthrough.”


Is Natural Immunity Superior for Variants?
As further evidence of COVID shots’ waning effectiveness and the superiority of natural immunity, data presented July 17, 2021, to the Israeli Health Ministry revealed that, of the more than 7,700 COVID-19 cases reported since May 2021, only 72 occurred in people who had previously had COVID-19 — a rate of less than 1%. In contrast, more than 3,000 cases — or approximately 40% — occurred in people who had received a COVID-19 vaccine.16

In other words, those who were vaccinated were 6.72 times — nearly 700% — more likely to develop COVID-19 than those who had natural immunity from a prior infection. Speaking with journalist Daniel Horowitz, pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole explained that natural immunity produces broad immunity that can’t be matched by vaccination:17

“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 SARSCOV1 is at 17 years and running still.”


A retrospective observational study published August 25, 2021,18 also found that natural immunity is superior to immunity from COVID-19 jabs, with researchers stating, “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.”

Further, according to a team of researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine, 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.19

Unfortunately, health officials aren’t making a distinction for those who have recovered from COVID-19 and continue to recommend injections for all, which may be adding fuel to the fire instead of extinguishing it.

No, The Mandate Is Not About “Protecting Myself”
Screen-Shot-2021-09-13-at-1.12.28-PM.png

“This is not about freedom or personal choice…It’s about protecting yourself.” – Joe Biden

Honestly, is anyone surprised at this point that the party of patronization once again declares that it knows what is best for the individual? Democrats have been campaigning for 60 years that black Americans require intensive government intervention in order to function in society, for example. This is the same party that says we should hand over our own hard-earned money because some bureaucrat knows how to spend it better than us. Every policy position declares that most people are stupid and that ruling elites know best.

The only thing more tragic than people wanting to exert undue influence is the fact that many more want to have it exerted on them.

The latest abomination of government encroachment came from the speech that Joe Biden delivered last Thursday as he unveiled the next government solution to the Covid pandemic. (There has been no dearth of attempts already, and I get an uneasy feeling they will always have new countermeasures, each with increased “sacrifices” being asked of us.) Many unknowns will play out in the weeks and months ahead. Will the mandate hold up in the courts? Will companies largely adhere to it? Will citizens resist en masse?

In the meantime, the idea that the government is concerned about my welfare is one of the emptiest talking points imaginable. It is as dishonest as could be. To be clear, the vaccine mandate arises from three core issues: 1) It offers a massive payout to pharmaceutical companies, 2) It maintains the fear-based Covid narrative, 3) It enables the consolidation of power at the top. It is not about citizens’ health in the least.

I will repeat myself: Nothing about the vaccine mandate is designed to protect or save lives.

Three central observations support this claim. First, early in the pandemic, scientists quickly realized that the elderly and those with underlying conditions like obesity were most susceptible to severe reactions or death. None of the public health responses reacted to this reality. Rather than pinpoint the most at-risk populations for protection, scientifically-bereft and morally-dubious mandates were enacted that shut down entire economies, locked everyone up, and most egregiously, sent infected elderly patients back to institutions that could neither treat them nor keep other residents safe. When something like 40% of all Covid deaths have come from .5% of the population, that should be a clear indicator that we are being misled and mismanaged. If the government truly cared about saving lives, it would have initiated common-sense policies from the onset of the pandemic that shielded these vulnerable populations.

Relatedly, the public health response to two different citizen protests outed the medical establishment as fraudulent from the beginning. The spring of 2020 witnessed dozens of back-to-work protests. They were primarily white, conservative-leaning Americans whose actions were labeled as super spreader events. Contrast that to the rest of the summer of 2020, which endured nightly BLM riots under the guise of ending systemic racism. Despite a loud outcry for the former forms of protest, there was hardly a peep from the same talking heads about spreading Covid for the latter. To the contrary, even doctors said that racism was as much a public health crisis as Covid and demanded our action. Public health, indeed.

Second, there have been – and with each passing day are always more – preventative regimens and treatment plans available to Covid patients. President Trump name-dropped hydroxychloroquine early in the course of the pandemic. It was experimental at the time, but under the work of doctors like Vladimir Zelenko, it was used in conjunction with zinc, vitamin D, and an antibiotic. At the very least, it is an old generic that has a track record of safe use. It certainly couldn’t have made the pandemic worse or been worse than ventilating frail patients. Likewise, President Trump was later treated with monoclonal antibodies (like Joe Rogan) during his bout with Covid. Though hardly a figure of health and fitness, Trump recovered in a matter of days.

Nothing shouts “lack of real concern” than the concerted effort to minimize and demonize Ivermectin. Again, as with other treatments, there is evidence it works when used early in infection and also has a proven safety record. In fact, there is a lot of anecdotal and clinical data of its efficacy. But even if it didn’t work 100% of the time, is that worse than the vaccine? Not only does the vaccine fail to deliver lasting protection, there are objective risks in taking it. If Joe Biden and the Democrats truly cared about us, the government should have been handing out Ivermectin kits like in other countries. $2 per person, multiplied bu 330 million people is a hell of a lot cheaper than myriad rounds of stimulus checks and trillion-dollar bailouts.

It cannot be overstated that the refusal to acknowledge the capabilities of cheap and/or alternative treatments was done wholly to enable the Emergency Use Authorization of experimental vaccines. If the FDA, CDC, or others allowed themselves to admit that such treatments were already available, it would have been illegal for them to otherwise authorize the novel and historically unsuccessful (and dangerous) mRNA vaccines. Had the government’s position been that it would throw the kitchen sink at Covid – which should have been the only response if Covid were as awful as they claimed it to be – then we could believe that it desired to save lives. Instead, the government narrowly waited for and now focusing only on vaccination.

Forgetting HCQ and IVT for a moment, even natural immunity isn’t discussed.

The World Health Organization even wrote the whole concept out of its dictionary. I feel quite safe having had Covid, recovered, and developed antibodies. Joe Biden should, too. Paradoxically, however, he would prefer not to discuss it and instead inject a substance with unknown short- and long-term side effects.

Third, there have been too many instances of the government gladly ignoring real science or actual pandemics to believe in the slightest they are concerned about health. One of the most obvious and widespread examples is the adoption of the food pyramid in the 1970s. With generations of Americans growing up under the impression their diet should consist primarily of grains while also believing fats are inherently bad (basically, the opposite of what’s true), we can directly attribute our current crisis of chronic illnesses to the lies of “food science” from decades past. Heart disease, diabetes, and mental health, along with other debilitating and fatal maladies, are not avoidable entirely but their presence can surely be mitigated. Where is the outrage over fast foods? Sodas, fruit juices, and other sugary beverages? Entire processed food industries have cropped up that make mealtime a breeze; unfortunately, they also make proper diet impossible. Ironically, the very predispositions that make some people more vulnerable to Covid than others stems from the government’s acceptance of Big Ag and other lobbyists’ campaign contributions. Had all Americans eaten a healthier diet, Covid wouldn’t even be nearly as dire.

Even assuming Joe Biden and his Bond-villain associates did have my best intentions at heart, so what? As soon as the government decides what is best for me, and takes away my free will, that is effectively the end of the individual and the American experiment. It’s certainly the end of personal liberties. We’re told guns are a health crisis; it doesn’t take a genius to follow that road map to its predetermined destination. We’re told home ownership has roots in white supremacy; if white supremacists are evil and home ownership is rooted in as much, it’s also quite easy to figure out that any excuse can be used for any destructive purpose.

I’ll pass on the vaccine, Joe. Now, if and when they make a vaccine to protect my daughter from creepy, hair-sniffing losers like you, then maybe I’ll consider rolling up my family’s sleeves. Until then, stay out of my business.

ABC News Affiliate Accidentally Discovers the Truth About COVID Vaccines

The World Tribune has a stunning story about an ABC News reporter’s effort to target the unvaccinated and support the Biden policy to force vaccines. WXYZ in Detriot, an ABC affiliate, asked viewers to share stories of loved ones who died of COVID after refusing or delaying to get the vaccine. This request produced an unexpected truth bomb.
By noon on Monday, the post had received over 39,000 angry and often heartbreaking responses. Virtually every string contains a firsthand report by people whose family members are grieving the loss of loved ones of all ages.

Typical of many of the responses, one woman wrote poignantly:

COVID Whistleblower: Doctors about to QUIT, Pressured to Vax themselves, Pressured to LIE

By Ben Wetmore
Published September 15, 2021 at 8:45am
COVID-VACCINE-WHISTLEBLOWER-Dr.-MOLLIE-JAMES.jpg


A New York City ICU Doctor has courageously come forward to say that she and many other doctors are being pressured into unsafe vaccines and are ready to quit.

10-15% OF DOCTORS PLANNING TO QUIT MEDICINE OVER POLITICAL VACCINE MANDATES

An estimated 10-15% of Doctors may quit their jobs rather than be forced to receive an unreliable and risky vaccine, according to a new COVID Doctor whistleblower. This is in response to Joe Biden’s dramatic push to require nationwide vaccinations with zero exemptions.

BIDENITE ELITES TO MANDATE VACCINE WITH NO EXEMPTIONS

Biden blamed so-called ‘vaccine refusers’ for the spread of COVID, even though experts disagree about the cause of the continued spread of the pandemic.

Meanwhile elite opinion has calcified to say any vaccine refusal should be punished.

WHISTLEBLOWER: VACCINE COMPLICATIONS WIDESPREAD, DOCTORS KNOW, WILL REFUSE MANDATORY VAX

“We are being pressured to vaccinate, and we see the large number of Vaccine complications in our ICU’s and ER’s that are going unreported. Doctors are afraid to report all of these vaccine complications even though we are clearly seeing them,” said Dr. Mollie James, an ICU (Intensive Care Unit) Doctor in New York City. “The serious risks of complications are coming from those with natural immunity who then receive the vaccine or boosters, and frontline doctors and nurses have natural immunity after a year of fighting COVID and being exposed.

These vaccine complication risks coming from an unwise mandate are serious, and include increased risks of stroke, heart attack, and death.”

This is in contrast to the official story from the American Centers for Disease Control which say that vaccine complications are “extremely unlikely.”

BIDEN PARTY LINE: COVID VACCINES CAUSE NO SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS
Major media outlets are even encouraging Americans to get multiple vaccines at the same time, because, they claim, there are no health risks.

James relates how many Doctors are being pressured to accommodate the COVID politics rather than the COVID scientific, health, or ethical necessities.

Yesterday a New York federal judge agreed temporarily that these healthcare mandates were too stringent, and stopped a planned vaccine mandate because it lacked a religious exemption.

Dr. James feels as though the fight about allowing religious exemptions only tells part of the story however:

“I would estimate 30% of the ICU patients in NYC are from vaccine complications but nobody wants to talk about that. They get coded as something else or they will ignore the fact an otherwise healthy person had a heart attack or stroke within 48 hours of receiving the vaccine,” Dr. James said. “I have seen vaccine complications in the general public, and even among healthcare providers. This is a serious problem and it’s only getting worse, and these mandates will make it much worse, but we won’t have the data to deal with it because of politics.”

DOCTORS FORCED TO LIE ABOUT COVID VAX COMPLICATIONS
Meanwhile the American Medical Association is demanding full vaccination mandates with no exemptions.

Dr. James says that her colleagues won’t get the vaccine because they know the truth: the vaccines have common side effects that aren’t being reported because of politics.

“Never in my lifetime have I seen medicine so politicized, where individual treatments are banned because of who is promoting them. It’s a scary time to be a healthcare professional, and the public needs to know how bad things are getting. Your healthcare is being guided by political demands, not by what will lead to the best individual healthcare outcomes,” Dr. James said.

POLITICAL MEDICINE WILL ONLY RESORT IN WORSE OUTCOMES
Dr. James was previously terminated from a telemedicine position because she refused to receive a mandatory COVID vaccine to continue treating patients over a computer screen, even though there was no scientific risk of infection by internet.

“These mandates are not scientific, they are not ethical, and they are not needed.

We need Doctors to direct these policies to overcome COVID, not lying politicians like Biden who are going to make this crisis much worse.”

HUGE: Uttar Pradesh, India Announces State Is COVID-19 Free Proving the Effectiveness of “Deworming Drug” IVERMECTIN

By Jim Hoft
Published September 15, 2021 at 7:30am

1CBA5BE6-CDC4-427D-847B-938C1BF8D816-scaled.jpeg


The Gateway Pundit previously reported that COVID cases are plummeting in India thanks to new rules that promote Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine to its massive population. The 33 districts in Uttar Pradesh, India have now become free from COVID-19 government informed on Friday. The recovery rate has increased up to 98.7% proving the effectiveness of IVERMECTIN as part of the “Uttar Pradesh Covid Control Model.”

This state has an estimated population of 241 million people in 2021 and has the highest population in India. This is almost two-thirds of the United States population in 2021 and yet it is now a COVID-19 free nation.

So what could the United States be doing wrong? Let’s ask Dr. Fauci.

Hindustan Times reported on this big development:
Overall, the state has a total of 199 active cases, while the positivity rate came down to less than 0.01 per cent. The recovery rate, meanwhile, has improved to 98.7 per cent. As per the state’s health bulletin, Uttar Pradesh reported only 11 new Covid-19 cases and zero deaths in the last 24 hours.
India Today also reported on this last August 31:
The active caseload in Uttar Pradesh is down to 269, while the percentage of active cases against the total confirmed cases is 0 per cent.

The active caseload, which was at a high of 3,10,783 in April, has reduced by over 99 per cent.

Fresh Covid-19 cases in the state have remained below 100 for 50 consecutive days.

Of the 1,87,638 samples tested in the last 24 hours, 21 tested positive. In the same period, another 17 patients recovered from the infection, adding to the recovery of over 16,86,182 people so far. (These numbers are in lakh so the comma placement is different in the US. 1,87,638 lakh is 187,638)
Uttar Pradesh is the leading state in India to use Ivermectin as early and preventatively in all family contacts. And this state is one of the five lowest COVID cases of all states in India despite having only a low vaccination rate of 5.8% fully vaccinated compared to the USA that has 54% fully vaccinated.

The USA has 179,289,983 fully vaccinated as of September 14 while Uttar Pradesh has 15,236,150 who got their second dose.

EDA3F4BC-B0A1-4FA4-9CA6-3533944D2E0D.jpeg


Here’s a little background on the use of Ivermectin in UP, The Indian Express reported:

“Uttar Pradesh was the first state in the country to introduce large-scale prophylactic and therapeutic use of Ivermectin. In May-June 2020, a team at Agra, led by Dr. Anshul Pareek, administered Ivermectin to all RRT team members in the district on an experimental basis. It was observed that none of them developed Covid-19 despite being in daily contact with patients who had tested positive for the virus,” Uttar Pradesh State Surveillance Officer Vikssendu Agrawal said.
He added that based on the findings from Agra, the state government sanctioned the use of Ivermectin as a prophylactic for all the contacts of Covid patients and later cleared the administration of therapeutic doses for the treatment of such patients.

Claiming that timely introduction of Ivermectin since the first wave has helped the state maintain a relatively low positivity rate despite its high population density, he said, “Despite being the state with the largest population base and a high population density, we have maintained a relatively low positivity rate and cases per million of population”.

He said that apart from aggressive contact tracing and surveillance, the lower positivity and fatality rates may be attributed to the large-scale use of Ivermectin use in the state, adding that the drug has recently been introduced in the National Protocol for Covid treatment and management. “Once the second wave subsides, we would conduct our own study as there has been an emerging body of evidence to substantiate our timely use of Ivermectin from the first wave itself,” Vikasendu told The Indian Express.”

Last August, the government of UP issued a notification to have Ivermectin (12 mg) tablets. The Dialogue reported:
“The government notification reads, “Doctors are advising to take ivermectin 12 mg to contain the impact of pandemic. This medicine is quite effective in protecting from covid-19. Therefore, we appeal each and every citizen to have this tablet.”

The notification then goes on to explain the dosage: For positive patients isolated at home (one tablet per day for three days and for primary and secondary contacts (one tablet each on the first and 7th day).”
Both Uttar Pradesh and Delhi have seen an incredible drop in COVID-19 cases because they use Ivermectin early and preventatively. Whereas Kerala, a tiny state located in southern India that is over-dependent on vaccines and less dependent on Ivermectin, has been reporting a significant increase in COVID-19 cases. Keep in mind that Uttar Pradesh has eight times larger population than Kerala.

27556584-1970-4C2A-87D5-DC9F25C9AA45-scaled.jpeg


More information on Kerala’s COVID- 19 cases on The Desert Review:
“While Kerala included Ivermectin in their state’s guideline in April, they restricted it’s use to only in Class B – severe cases or those with associated disease, making its use much less than if mild cases were allowed. This meant it was reserved as a late treatment if used at all.

Finally, Kerala abandoned Ivermectin use altogether on August 5, 2021.
Juan Chamie, the Cambridge-based data analyst who has provided graphical insight and published on COVID, provided his answer to why Kerala’s COVID cases have spun out of control.

“My main current explanation is the lack of early treatment. Kerala’s COVID protocol from April 2021 included Ivermectin, but not as an early treatment. As a result, only a small group qualified, those in Category B patients having high-risk factors. The new protocol from August 5 is even worse. They removed Ivermectin (completely).”

Despite a widespread attempt by the media and WHO to convince the world that India has dropped Ivermectin by citing the DGHS, the ICMR and AIIMS have not changed their position, and Ivermectin remains in the India National Protocol.”

Of course, the WHO, pharmaceutical companies, fake news media, and Fauci are not happy with this big development. New York Times will have a meltdown with this news.

Texas hospital faces potential closure due to COVID-19 vaccine mandate, CEO says

The Brownfield Regional Medical Center is one of a number of facilities that could face significant staffing shortages due to the mandate.

Updated: September 15, 2021 - 2:07pm

The CEO of a hospital in Texas is cautioning that his facility is facing possible closure following President Biden's announcement last week that healthcare workers will be required to receive the COVID-19 vaccination.

If the mandate takes effect, the Brownfield Regional Medical Center will likely lose 20-25% of its staff, CEO Jerry Jasper says. Without those employees, the hospital will likely shut down.

The Biden administration has ordered that healthcare workers who staff hospitals and facilities that receive either Medicaid or Medicare funds must receive the vaccine or lose federal funding.

"It's huge in our rural community as all the other rural communities," Jasper said during a recent KCBD interview. "We all have high poverty levels and stuff like that, so a lot of Medicaid usage in our communities and stuff like that."

In addition to the healthcare worker mandate, Biden also announced he would direct the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration to enforce a rule for companies with more than 100 people that all employees get vaccinated. Federal workers and contractors will also have to get the vaccine.

Already in upstate New York, an official for one hospital said the facility is going to have to close down its maternity unit for the time being because so many employees resigned over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo's vaccine mandate for healthcare workers. The mandate was temporarily halted on Tuesday by a federal judge in New York.

LA County To Mandate Segregation Of Unvaccinated Or Negative Test At Outdoor Events, Bars, And Clubs

WEDNESDAY, SEP 15, 2021 - 06:40 PM

Los Angeles County is preparing a revised health order which will require proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test for outdoor events, as well as indoor portions of bars, wineries, breweries, nightclubs and lounges.



The order, reported on Wednesday and expected to be made official later this week, will also require all customers and employees to have at least one dose of the vaccine by Oct. 7, and become fully vaccinated no later than Nov. 4.

"This modified health officer order aligns with the continued need to reduce risk of transmission and increase vaccination coverage," Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer told the Board of Supervisors. "This is a reasonable path forward that will position us to be better able to break the cycle of surges.

Who's most impacted?

Not Asians, who are 80% vaccinated throughout LA county.

In fact, the new segregation order will affect blacks the most - at just 51% vaccinated.

McMaken: Biden's Vaccine Mandates Are All About Power

WEDNESDAY, SEP 15, 2021 - 05:40 PM
Authored by Ryan McMaken via The Mises Institute,

Last week, the Biden administration announced sweeping new mandates. The new mandates require that all employers with more than one hundred workers require workers to be vaccinated or to test for the virus weekly. The mandates also require covid vaccinations for the 17 million workers at health facilities that receive federal Medicare or Medicaid. Moreover, vaccines are mandated for all employees of the federal government’s executive branch, and for all contractors who do business with the federal government. There is no option to test out in these cases.

The new mandates extend an earlier mandate from this summer which required vaccinations for nursing home staff to other healthcare settings, including hospitals, home health agencies, and dialysis centers.

Employees who don’t conform face termination. Employers who don’t play ball face the wrath of federal regulators.

Clearly, this represents yet another dangerous frontier in using a perceived or real crisis to justify an immense expansion in state power and state control over the population.



The Vaccinated Still Spread the Disease
The reasons given for the mandate continue to shift. Some supporters of vaccine mandates continue to claim that the continued spread of covid-19 ought to be blamed on the unvaccinated.

Yet the facts do not support this position. We know that the vaccinated spread the disease freely, even if the vaccinated do not suffer the effects of the disease to the same extent as the unvaccinated. The infected vaccinated even carry a viral load similar to the unvaccinated. In fact, health officials so freely admit that the vaccinated spread the disease, that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends mask mandates for the vaccinated.

Some other advocates of mandates, recognizing the incoherence of the “stop the spread” position, instead have reverted to the same rationale behind the old “flatten the curve” slogan of 2020. In this case, it is asserted that the unvaccinated are more likely to need hospitalization and thus are using up “too many” beds in intensive care units. That is, it’s no longer about stopping the spread of the disease, but about limiting use of medical resources.

The Return of “Flatten the Curve”
As with the old “flatten the curve” claims, this raises the question of why only covid patients are the target of federal mandates and public shaming. If failure to get vaccinated constitutes an “unhealthy choice” that must be punished with threats of losing one’s job, why are other unhealthy choices ignored?

Hospital beds are frequently filled with patients who overdose on drugs, chain smoke, or allow themselves to become morbidly obese. In fact, type 2 diabetes—which is entirely preventable—increased by 95 percent from 2001 to 2017, especially among the young.

If one mentions the unhealthy choices that sent these patients to intensive care, one is likely to be accused of “fat shaming” or blaming the victim. On the other hand, singling out vaccine-hesitant Americans for financial ruin should they refuse the vaccine is greeted with cheers and applause.

Abandoning Limits on Government Power
These arguments in favor of mandates, of course, are all premised on the idea that the federal government should be unrestrained in its ability to impose “solutions” to various perceived or real crises.

The question of legal authority for such acts seems almost academic at this point. It has become abundantly clear that the federal government—and especially the executive branch—regards legal and constitutional limits on federal power as mere inconveniences to be ignored. Debates over constitutionality are now, for the most part, a relic of an earlier age.

Just as the Trump administration invented a new federal power to regulate evictions at rental properties—with little political opposition—the Biden administration’s vaccine dictates for all private employers of a certain size are remarkable in their scope and unprecedented nature. The notion that a single person—a president—can regulate, with a stroke of a pen, the terms of employment for countless private sector employers is striking, even in this era of nearly untrammeled federal power.

Using Federal Spending to Get Compliance
Moreover, thanks to the growth of government spending and subsidies—such as Medicare and Medicaid—which now extend into so many American institutions nationwide, the federal government doesn’t even need to directly force compliance. The federal government can simply say, “If you want our money, do what we say.” After decades of conditioning America’s institutions to become addicted to federal money, this method becomes easier every year.

The exercise of so much direct federal power over 330 million Americans ought to be alarming. Yet for many Americans—likely around half of them—it will not be alarming at all. Notions of due process, natural rights, and decentralized state power are nearly without meaning to this portion of the population.



The Triumph of the Technocracy
Rather, the vaccine mandates represent merely the latest example of how the ruling class and much of the public supports a utilitarian technocratic state unrestrained by old classical liberal limitations on state power. In the minds of countless Americans, second thoughts about granting governments vast new powers is an old-fashioned and contemptible habit. What matters now is granting kind-hearted government agents the prerogatives to “do something.”

The groundwork for all this has been laid for decades in universities, public elementary schools, and in the media. The advent of “covid policy,” with its lockdowns and vaccine mandates, is simply the latest manifestation in the tradition of the PATRIOT Act and the War on Drugs. This thinking has been embraced by both Left and Right, as both sides have sought federal action for their pet projects.

Yet the danger of the current “war on covid” is that it is nearly inescapable for the population as a whole. The intrusiveness of these policies—combined with the repugnance of a policy designed to force medication on millions of Americans—place them at a level above other government “wars” in the name of safety or “public health.”

Those who can resist mandates must do so. Even today, some avenues remain through the federal courts. And in recent years, state governments have shown an increasing willingness to openly oppose federal acts.

But until Americans begin to deny the moral permissiveness of “federal mandates” altogether, little progress will be made. As Ludwig von Mises repeatedly pointed out, only the power of ideas is sufficient to provide real limits on state power.

Courts Will Rule Against Biden On Vaccine Mandate Penalties: Alan Dershowitz

WEDNESDAY, SEP 15, 2021 - 05:00 PM
Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times,

Courts will likely agree that the federal government has the authority to enforce COVID-19 vaccine mandates but will argue that the rules and penalties cannot be enforced, said Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz.



President Joe Biden last week said that he will direct the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to mandate that employees at companies with 100 or more workers will have to either submit to weekly testing or get the COVID-19 vaccine. White House officials have said that fines will be handed down to those who don’t comply with the rule, which will impact about 80 million private-sector employees.
“No. 1, is this something the federal government can do as compared to the states?” Dershowitz told Newsmax.

“The states have police power. The federal government doesn’t have police power. The federal government’s powers have to derive from the text of the Constitution.”
It’s likely that courts will say that the government can enforce vaccine mandates but will argue that it is only Congress that can order punishments and fines, he said.

“I think the courts will say the federal government does have the power because this is a national issue across the state lines. It’s not limited to states. It’s contagious,” Dershowitz said.

“I think they will say that in the event that science supports it, there can be mandated vaccinations with exceptions.”

But such mandates are “generally relegated to the legislature in our system of government, so I think the courts will focus on that issue first and say that the president may not have the authority to do this without congressional authorization,” Dershowitz said.
“You can’t say it’s an emergency,” he continued.
“This problem has existed since the first day of the Biden administration, and it will continue to exist on the last day of the Biden administration because we’re not going to see an end of COVID.”
Dershowitz added:
“We’re going to see COVID become like the flu. Seasonal different variations, different vaccinations, so it shouldn’t be done under the rubric of emergency. It should be done under the rubric of ordinary congressional power.”
When the mandates are handed down to companies under Biden’s order, Dershowitz said that it will be a “big payday for lawyers” who will likely file numerous lawsuits on behalf of businesses and other entities.

“There will be individuals who will be fired, and they’ll sue immediately,” he also remarked. “There will be companies—and I know there are some already who said we refuse to obey this mandate—and we’ve had companies and states indicate they’re going to file suit.”

Polls Show That The American People Are Extremely Angry... And They Are About To Get Even Angrier

WEDNESDAY, SEP 15, 2021 - 04:20 PM
Authored by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,

This wasn’t supposed to happen. We were promised that once Joe Biden was in the White House that the tremendous anger that was building up in our country would start to subside, but that obviously is not happening.

In fact, as you will see below, Americans have been getting even angrier.

Needless to say, the stunt that Joe Biden pulled last week is certainly not helping matters. When he visited Boise on Monday, enormous crowds of extremely angry protesters were waiting for him. And everywhere I go on social media this week, I am seeing huge explosions of anger.

What in the world is our country going to look like if all of this anger continues to grow?


Normally, it is either one side of the political spectrum or the other that is angry at any given time.

But here in September 2021, both sides of the political spectrum are very angry. Just check out these stunning numbers from a brand new CNN poll
A new CNN poll finds that 74% of U.S. adults now say they are “very or somewhat angry” about the way things are going in the U.S.
today
— that includes 88% of Republicans, 70% of independents and even 67% of Democrats. But wait, there’s more.
Another 69% of U.S. adults now say that things are going “pretty or very badly” in the country these days — that includes 91% of Republicans, 72% of independents and 49% of Democrats.
Those numbers are crazy. Just a few months ago, there was so much optimism, but now the mood of the nation has completely shifted.

Surprisingly, that same CNN poll asked a question about illegal immigration, and it found that even most Democrats are concerned about “the movement of undocumented immigrants”
And by the way, illegal immigration is still a concern for many in this nation. The CNN survey also found that 77% of U.S. adults say that it is important that the federal government “stops the movement of undocumented immigrants into the United States.” And the partisan breakdown: 95% of Republicans, 76% of independents and 52% of Democrats agreed.
Ever since Joe Biden entered the White House, giant throngs of people have been surging to our southern border, and this has created an unprecedented immigration crisis.

Incredibly, even though Biden has decided to impose vaccine mandates on millions upon millions of American citizens, even the White House Press Secretary is admitting that there will be no such requirement for the illegal immigrants that are being let into this country.

Members of Congress and their staffs are exempt from Biden’s new requirements as well.

But the rest of us are apparently fair game. Today, my wife walked into a store where the employees were openly talking about how they might soon lose their jobs because of these new mandates. Biden is dragging us into full-blown tyranny, and lots of American citizens are going to lose good jobs because of this.

Another new poll asked Americans if they think that Biden’s tyrannical decrees are constitutional or not, and the results were absolutely overwhelming
Asked in a new poll by Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group, whether Biden has the constitutional authority to impose that demand, 58.6% said no.

Only 29.7% said yes.

The poll, taken over the weekend of likely general election voters, has a margin of error of 2.96%.
If they get away with this round of mandates, they will undoubtedly try to impose even more.

In fact, Dr. Fauci is openly telling us that he is in favor of mandating vaccines for air travel.

Fauci does not care about you. The next time that you hear the corporate media heaping praise on him, just remember what he and his organization did to a bunch of beagles.

He sees you the same way, and he is going to keep pushing Biden to tighten the screws.

Already, we are seeing officials go door to door in some cities. In Washington D.C., there are times when workers will “go back to a house four or five, six times” until someone finally answers the door…
Patrick Ashley, with D.C. Health, said the city has a significant outreach program going door to door.

“And as a reminder, we knock on doors until we actually get someone to talk to us. And so they’ll go back to a house four or five, six times, if necessary, multiple times of the day,” he said.That should chill you to the core.

And what came next in that same article is also extremely chilling
Ashley also said the District is working with Medicare providers to make sure that they’re providing vaccination education.

“But you’re right, it is a choice of theirs to make,” Ashley said. “So we’ll continue to do that education through the —”

Silverman interrupted Ashley to say: “The president is saying it’s not a choice any more.”
The good news is that some red state governors are starting to fight back.

For example, Ron DeSantis just announced huge fines for any government entity in his state that attempts to mandate vaccines
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday fought back against Joe Biden’s unconstitutional vaccine mandates.

DeSantis announced cities and counties that force employees to get vaccinated will be fined $5,000 per infraction.

“We are here today to make it very clear that we are going to stand for the men and women who are serving. We are going to protect Florida jobs,” DeSantis said during the news conference. “We are not gonna let people be fired because of a vaccine mandate.”
Hopefully more red state governors will step up to the plate, because our politicians in Washington are completely and utterly out of control.

Not satisfied with angering millions of Americans with these new vaccine mandates, Democrats have also decided that now is the time to dramatically raise taxes
Top earners in New York City could face a combined city, state and federal income tax rate of 61.2%, according to plans being proposed by Democrats in the House of Representatives.

The plans being proposed include a 3% surtax on taxpayers earning more than $5 million a year. The plans also call for raising the top marginal income tax rate to 39.6% from the current 37%.
How would you feel if 61.2 percent of your income went to paying taxes?

Would that make you angry?

Of course it would.

But our politicians in Washington have to find some way to pay for their insane spending sprees. The federal government ran a 3 trillion dollar budget deficit last fiscal year, and with one month to go they are on track to do it again this fiscal year.

Everywhere you turn, there is more bad news. And everywhere you turn, things are starting to spiral out of control. So many of the things that I have been warning about are happening right in front of our eyes, and the months ahead are looking very bleak.

If Americans are this angry while things are still relatively stable, what is the mood of this country going to look like once things really start to fall apart?

As a nation, we are not emotionally equipped to handle any sort of a major societal collapse, but that is where the road that we are on inevitably leads.

These are such troubled times, and I have a feeling that really big surprises are just around the corner.

Despite Mandates, Biden Commerce Secretary Claims "Nobody Is Being Forced" To Take COVID Vaccine

WEDNESDAY, SEP 15, 2021 - 03:23 PM
Authored by Steve Watson via Summit News,

Joe Biden’s Commerce Secretary has claimed that “nobody is being forced” to get vaccinated, despite last week’s announcement that millions of Americans will be mandated to take the shot in order to go to work.



Gina Raimondo made the comments Tuesday in an interview on MSNBC, after host Stephanie Ruhle proclaimed she was “puzzled by people that continue to say they’re forced to get vaccinated here.”

Watch:

The pair seriously suggested that anyone who doesn’t want to or can’t get vaccinated can simply stay at home and never go outside.

“There’s always been a choice: If you do not want to get vaccinated, you can work from home. You can homeschool your children. You can shop online,” Ruhle declared, adding “If you didn’t want to vaccinate your kids, you can homeschool, and people have done it for years.”
“We are not being forced,” Raimondo again claimed, stating “You can work from home, get tested on a weekly basis,” and adding “I think this is smart public policy and great leadership by the president.”
There you have it, if you don’t take the vaccine just stay at home and have no life, no one is forcing you. In fact, it’s a long standing American tradition.

As we previously reported, Police and firefighters are among the groups who are resisting, bringing lawsuits against the mandates.

There has also been significant resistance among military service members, who will be mandated to take the shots.

In the latest example a US Army Lieutenant Colonel resigned and gave up his pension after more than 19 years of service, labelling the mandate “unethical, immoral and tyrannical.”
Lt Col Paul Douglas Hague wrote a now viral resignation letter, explaining how he will not “sit still and allow a serum to be injected into my flesh against my will and better judgement.”

Hague, who is stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, further declared “It is impossible for this so-called ‘vaccine’ to have been studied adequately to determine the long term effects,” adding “it simply has not existed for enough time and any claim otherwise is blatantly ignorant and likely an outright lie driven by negligent political agenda.”

The Lt Col further described the vaccine mandate as part of “an ideologically Marxist takeover of the military and United States government.”

“We are watching the fall of liberty at this moment,”
Hague asserted.

More Than Half Of US States Vow To Fight Biden's Vaccine Mandate

WEDNESDAY, SEP 15, 2021 - 12:05 PM
Authored by Bethany Blankley via The Center Square,

Twenty-seven Republican governors or attorneys general have vowed to fight the latest executive order issued by President Joe Biden mandating that over 80 million private employees receive COVID vaccinations or undergo weekly testing, or their employer will be fined.



The executive order directs the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to require private businesses with more than 100 employees mandate that their workers receive both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine or undergo weekly testing. Noncompliance would result in fines of $14,000 per violation.

The governors who’ve expressed opposition include those from Arizona, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

Republican attorneys general from states with Democratic governors who also vowed to fight include Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron and Louisiana AG Jeff Landry.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, with whom Biden has sparred over mask mandates and vaccine passports, said Florida would fight back.
“When you have a president like Biden issuing unconstitutional edicts against the American people, we have a responsibility to stand up for the Constitution and to fight back, and we are doing that in the state of Florida,” he said.
“This is a president who has acknowledged in the past he does not have the authority to force this on anybody, and this order would result potentially in millions of Americans losing their jobs.”
Texas, which is already embroiled in several lawsuits with the Biden administration, vowed to sue. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said after hearing Biden’s announcement that “Texas is already working to halt this power grab” and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said Texas would be suing the Biden administration “very soon.”

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson said, “OSHA cannot dictate personal health care decisions for Missourians. Missouri is not under an OSHA state plan, and Parson will not allow state employees to be used to enforce this unconstitutional action.”

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster vowed to fight Biden, saying, “The American Dream has turned into a nightmare under President Biden and the radical Democrats. They have declared war against capitalism, thumbed their noses at the Constitution, and empowered our enemies abroad. Rest assured, we will fight them to the gates of hell to protect the liberty and livelihood of every South Carolinian.”

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey said, “Governors don’t report to Joe Biden.

Governors don’t report to the federal government, the states created the federal government, and Joe Biden has stepped out of his reach,”
Ducey said. “These mandates are outrageous. They will never stand up in court. We must and will push back.”

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita indicated he was working with a group of AGs to file a lawsuit. “My team and I, along with other like-minded attorneys general, are reviewing all legal action on how to stand against these authoritarian actions by the Biden administration,” he said in a statement.

The Republican National Committee also announced it was suing “to protect Americans and their liberties” if the proposed rule change were to go into effect.

In response to Republican pushback, White House senior adviser Cedric Richmond, a former Democratic congressman from Louisiana, told CNN the White House expected the opposition.

He said, “… those governors that stand in the way, I think, it was very clear from the president’s tone today that he will run over them. And it is important. It’s not for political purposes. It’s to save the lives of American people.

And so, we won’t let one or two individuals stand in the way. We will always err on the side of protecting the American people.”

Moderna Says People Who Received its Covid Vaccine Early On Are TWICE as Likely to Get ‘Breakthrough’ Infection – Pushes Booster Shot

By Cristina Laila
Published September 15, 2021 at 6:13pm
vaccines.jpg

Moderna on Wednesday said people who got their Covid vaccine early on are twice as likely to get a breakthrough infection.

New data suggest people who got the Moderna jab between July 2020 and December 2020 are nearly twice as likely to get Covid than people who took the jab between December 2020 and March 2021.

Moderna is using this new data obtained during clinical trials to push booster shots on fully vaccinated people.

Beginning September 20, Americans who received two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines will be eligible for a booster shot eight months after their last dose.

The Daily Mail reported:
Moderna Inc says people who received its COVID-19 vaccine last year are nearly twice as likely to get a breakthrough infection compared to those recently vaccinated.

Breakthrough cases occur when people contract the disease 14 days or more after receiving their final dose of the shot.

New data published on Wednesday found 88 breakthrough cases of COVID-19 among Americans vaccinated from December 2020 to March 2021.

Comparatively, there were 162 cases – 1.8 times as many – among those vaccinated between July 2020 and December 2020.

The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based company also reported 13 severe cases among the early vaccination group compared to six in the later group.

What’s more, there were three Covid hospitalizations and two deaths in the group vaccinated last year compared to no hospitalizations or deaths in the group vaccinated in winter 2020 and spring 2021.

Moderna says the data provide evidence for giving booster doses to fully vaccinated people.
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky last month said that people who received the Covid vaccine early on are at an increased risk for severe disease.

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

Walensky continued, “Reports from our international colleagues, including Israel, suggest increased risk of SEVERE disease amongst those VACCINATED EARLY.”

Walensky said the only way out is to get the Covid booster.

NEVER FORGET: Dr. Tony Fauci Killed MILLIONS when He Pushed Bogus Study that Downplayed Hydroxychloriquine Use While His Emails Prove He Knew of its Effectiveness

C19 Vax Reactions, a pro-vaccine and pro-science group of previously healthy Americans, is on a mission to bring awareness to individuals who have suffered a severe adverse reaction after being injected with one of the COVID-19 vaccines available in the United States. The group, which grows larger by the day, aims to make the medical community aware of these adverse reactions and “encourage transparency and acknowledgment of these vaccine reactions by the CDC and FDA, so there can be a beginning to the discoveries and developments in the care that we, and others like us, desperately need.”

Rumble video on website 2:14 min

The members of C19 Vax Reactions all proclaim they “were excited for the opportunity to be vaccinated and do their part in helping end the pandemic.” Left to fend for themselves after suffering vaccine injuries from either the Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson & Johnson vaccine (as well as Astra Zeneca in the clinical trial stage), the group, which initially consisted of physicians and other medical professionals suffering alone without proper medical care, has grown to include Americans from all walks of life. Doctors and other medical caregivers have repeatedly told them that if vaccine injuries were really happening following COVID-19 vaccines, “they would have been informed of these reactions by the FDA and drug companies.”



After searching for medical help, the group found each other online to spread the word that the vaccine injuries they have sustained are real. They have reported their injuries to the FDA, CDC, VAERS, and the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture the COVID-19 vaccines with little to no follow-up or acknowledgment, essentially labeling the group “as further collateral damage from the pandemic.”

In a detailed letter to the FDA’s Commissioner Dr. Janet Woodcock, the CDC’s Director Rochelle Walensky, and the White House in May—to which they received no response—the group pleaded:

“We deserve and strongly request transparency and acknowledgment of these vaccine reactions so that there can be a beginning to the discoveries and developments in the care that we desperately need. Until acknowledgment of these adverse reactions exists, it will be impossible for people to receive care. We are pleading that you make the medical community aware of these reactions so we can get the medical care that we need and hopefully recover and return to our previously healthy lives.”

Ken Ruettgers, C19 Vax Reactions, and Senator Ron Johnson
UncoverDC recently spoke with Ken Ruettgers, a former offensive lineman for the Green Bay Packers. Ken and his wife, Sheryl, created C19 Vax Reactions following a vaccine injury Sheryl suffered after receiving her first dose of the Moderna vaccine in January. Four days later, Sheryl experienced severe neurological reactions that still inhibit her ability to live a normal life, including muscle pain, numbness, weakness, and paresthesia.

Before C19 Vax Reactions, Ruettgers said Sheryl had joined a vaccine injury group started by Dr. Danice Hertz, MD. However, with Facebook’s increasing censorship of groups related to COVID-19 and vaccines, Ken and his brother Paul decided to create C19 Vax Reactions for them so they wouldn’t have to worry about being canceled and silenced on the social media giant’s platform. Their website has grown to include over three hundred stories with interviews, case studies, scientific papers, and other valuable information.

1631769769722.png

Ruettgers said it has now been eight months since Sheryl received the shot, and her numbness and tingling sensations have gotten progressively worse.

Frustrated, he thought, “If I was a politician, I mean, this is so low-hanging fruit of how easy it is to help people.” He pointed out that “all these people want is to be heard, studied, helped, and believed.”

He had never met Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) but remembered seeing him in several interviews over the last few years, adding that he “loves Wisconsin and its people so Wisconsin is on his radar.” Plus, having played for the Green Bay Packers for twelve years and being inducted into their Hall of Fame, he said to himself, “this should be a no-brainer.” Ruettgers, who clearly has a great deal of respect for Senator Johnson, continued:

“So when I saw this guy who seemed like a very good man and a decent human being, a guy that makes logical sense who is just a practical, regular guy who is not a career politician who wants to help our country, and I saw that he was from Wisconsin, I took note. I cold-called his office, and by that night, a Thursday, I was talking to Senator Johnson on the phone.”



Senator Johnson Holds June 28, 2021, Press Conference
Johnson listened intently as Ruettger shared the story about his wife and the others in the group and was anxious to hear from them in person. By Sunday—three days later—Johnson, along with a doctor he had invited, spent two hours listening to the group and taking notes. Next, Johnson suggested they hold a press conference, which is what led them to the Milwaukee Federal Courthouse on June 28th.

Ruettgers described the press conference—where his wife and other vaccine-injured Americans spoke, including a twelve-year-old who is now in a wheelchair with a feeding tube—as “tear-jerking.” The same day, Senators Ron Johnson and Michael S. Lee sent a letter to Walensky and Woodcock seeking acknowledgment of the adverse events following receipt of a COVID-19 vaccine.

In what he characterized as bizarre, Ruettgers noted that after his wife and the others finished sharing their accounts of getting the vaccine and subsequently suffering devastating injuries from it, the six camera crews and 6 to 8 print reporters present did not ask a single question. Frustrated, he remarked that we do more for people suffering from peanut allergies than those injured after getting a COVID-19 vaccine. He continued:

“We study peanut allergies, and we study people with peanut allergies. We accommodate people with peanut allergies. We accommodate and study peanut allergies more than we do people injured from COVID vaccines. The FDA, CDC, NIH, and drug companies have known about [vaccine injuries] since late last year.

They’re withholding putting those issues on the full consent form—that is criminal.”

“It makes you really wonder about the doubling, tripling, and quadrupling down on these things in the face of data, facts, and science. It does make you wonder what is driving this thing.”


A Few of Their Stories

Stephanie de Garay
is a mother from Cincinnati, Ohio, whose daughter,
Maddie, participated in the Pfizer Covid vaccine trial in December and January. After Maddie received her second dose of the vaccine, she experienced severe side effects that resulted in multiple hospitalizations.

Kristi Dobbs is a dental hygienist from Webb City, Missouri, who received the Pfizer Covid vaccine in January. Since her vaccination, she has experienced multiple severe side effects, including pain, paresthesia and heart palpitations.

Brianne Dressen is a preschool teacher from Saratoga Springs, Utah, who received the Astra Zeneca Covid vaccine during a clinical trial in November. She has since experienced extensive adverse effects from the vaccine that has resulted in a medical bill of over $250,000.

Candace Hayden is from Detroit, Michigan, and received both doses of the Moderna vaccine in March. In April, she suffered from paresthesia and partial paralysis from the chest down, which lead to a month-long hospital stay and weeks of physical therapy.

Ken Ruettgers, a former Green Bay Packers offensive lineman, and his wife, Sheryl, received the Moderna vaccine in January. Four days after receiving the first dose, Sheryl experienced severe neurological reactions that still inhibit her ability to live a normal life, including muscle pain, numbness, weakness and paresthesia.

Extent of Adverse Reactions & Plea for Help
The group reports they have all shared very similar adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccines. Each of their reactions occurred within minutes to a few short days after getting the vaccines—they have no doubt the vaccines caused their injuries.

Many have been suffering for more than five months. Several in the group experienced paralysis of their lower extremities and remain paralyzed today.

Their debilitating reactions include:

Nausea, weight loss, heartburn, diarrhea/constipation, sleep disturbances, chest pains, headaches, facial and sinus pressure, dizziness, severe weakness and fatigue, painful paresthesias throughout the body, severe painful paresthesias focused on the face, tongue and scalp, internal vibrations and tremors, muscle twitching and muscle spasms, brain fog and mental status changes, memory loss, tinnitus, impaired/blurred vision, elevated blood pressure and heart rate, bulging veins, heart issues, and weakness.

In addition to hearing from individuals who have been injured from COVID vaccines, the group’s website has a space reserved for medical professionals where they receive concerns about censorship, patient care, severe vaccine reactions, and job security. Realizing their voice matters, the group offers nurses, doctors, PAs, and first responders a place to be heard confidentially and anonymously.

The group clearly states it has no “interest or desire to discuss or dispute with anyone whether or not to be vaccinated, masked, or other issues related to the pandemic.” Their message is simple—these reactions are happening and need to be acknowledged by the CDC and the FDA so they can begin to get the care they need and deserve. Their mission reiterates:

“We have all shared very similar adverse reactions to these vaccines…leaving the majority of us disabled and unable to return to our jobs as medical and other healthcare professionals, parents, teachers, scientists, etc. We have been pulled away from every aspect of life to advocate for our own health. Enduring now for weeks and months… WE NEED HELP…”
