Covid-19 vaccines and treatments: we must have raw data, now BMJ 2022 (Published 19 January 2022)

We are left with publications but no access to the underlying data on reasonable request. This is worrying for trial participants, researchers, clinicians, journal editors, policy makers, and the public. The journals that have published these primary studies may argue that they faced an awkward dilemma, caught between making the summary findings available quickly and upholding the best ethical values that support timely access to underlying data. In our view, there is no dilemma; the anonymised individual participant data from clinical trials must be made available for independent scrutiny.

Pharmaceutical companies are reaping vast profits without adequate independent scrutiny of their scientific claims. The purpose of regulators is not to dance to the tune of rich global corporations and enrich them further; it is to protect the health of their populations. We need complete data transparency for all studies, we need it in the public interest, and we need it now.

A huge thank you to BMJ (British Medical Journal), who again has shown the bravery and honesty to tell truth to power.


COVID-19 Cases and Hospitalizations by COVID-19 Vaccination Status and Previous COVID-19 Diagnosis — California and New York, May–November 2021 MMWR CDC Early Release / January 19, 2022 / 71

A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that those who have recovered from COVID-19 have more protection against infections from DELTA than those who have only been vaccinated.

Researchers reviewed data from California and New York from May to November, when the delta variant was dominant in the U.S.

Four groups of people were analyzed 1) unvaccinated with no prior COVID-19 infection, 2) vaccinated with no prior infection, 3) unvaccinated who recovered from COVID-19, and 4) vaccinated who recovered.

By the first week of October, COVID-19 rates among the vaccinated with no previous infection were 6.2 times lower in California and 4.5 times lower in New York than among the unvaccinated with no previous infection.

However, among the unvaccinated with a previous infection, the COVID-19 rate was 29 times lower in California and 14.7 times lower in New York.

‘Much Brighter Than Before’: COVID-19 Cases Plunge Across US By Zachary Stieber January 18, 2022 Updated: January 20, 2022

“Plunge” seems to be a strong word for a downward trend - but good news is good news. Below is a chart of World Meters for daily new cases reported in the USA (last day reported January 20, 2022).




Now, let’s get serious. The concept of “nation state” is increasingly obsolete as it is slowly revealed that the World Economic Forum has trained and placed a wide range of “Manchurian candidates” into leadership positions across western political organizations and globalist corporations. Quoting from this brilliant synthesis of Michael Lord:

“In 1992 (Klaus) Schwab established a parallel institution, the Global Leaders for Tomorrow school, which was re-established as Young Global Leaders in 2004.

Attendees at the school must apply for admission and are then subjected to a rigorous selection process. Members of the school’s very first class in 1992 already included many who went on to become important liberal political figures, such as Angela Merkel, Nicolas Sarkozy, and Tony Blair. There are currently about 1,300 graduates of this school, and the list of alumni includes several names of those who went on to become leaders of the health institutions of their respective nations. Four of them are former and current health ministers for Germany, including Jens Spahn, who has been Federal Minister of Health since 2018. Philipp Rösler, who was Minister of Health from 2009 until 2011, was appointed the WEF’s Managing Director by Schwab in 2014.

Other notable names on the school’s roster are Jacinda Ardern, the Prime Minister of New Zealand whose stringent lockdown measures have been praised by global health authorities; Emmanuel Macron, the President of France; Sebastian Kurz, who was until recently the Chancellor of Austria; Viktor Orbán, Prime Minister of Hungary; Jean-Claude Juncker, former Prime Minister of Luxembourg and President of the European Commission; and Annalena Baerbock, the leader of the German Greens who was the party’s first candidate for Chancellor in this year’s federal election, and who is still in the running to be Merkel’s successor. We also find California Governor Gavin Newsom on the list, who was selected for the class of 2005, as well as former presidential candidate and current US Secretary of Transportation Peter Buttigieg, who is a very recent alumnus, having been selected for the class of 2019. All of these politicians who were in office during the past two years have favored harsh responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, and which also happened to considerably increase their respective governments’ power.

But the school’s list of alumni is not limited to political leaders. We also find many of the captains of private industry there, including Microsoft’s Bill Gates, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Virgin’s Richard Branson, and the Clinton Foundation’s Chelsea Clinton. Again, all of them expressed support for the global response to the pandemic, and many reaped considerable profits as a result of the measures.”

Frankly, thinking back on Obama’s vacation with Richard Branson on his private island on the Virgin Islands immediately after the former POTUS left the White House, I am again left with the odd sense of falling down a hole and not knowing how deep it goes.

So, I offer you a question with a self-evident answer. Have these people demonstrated competence in managing this global crisis?

They believe that we should surrender our freedom to choose and exercise personal autonomy because they are better qualified to manage our affairs for us. Personally, I think that we can conclude that they have clearly demonstrated gross incompetence combined with medical ethics which seem to essentially mirror those of Dr. Josef Mengele, and we should not and cannot rely on them to lead the one world government which they wish to impose on us for our own good. Personally, a global system grounded in the philosophy of “govern me harder, daddy” is not one that I am willing to agree to, thank you very much. I have had quite enough of autocratic narcissists to last me for the rest of my life.

If you wish to really follow me down the rabbit hole, please review the documentation and video presentations concerning the The Davos Agenda of 17—21 January 2022 generously provided by the World Economic Forum, and consider reading both of the Klaus Schwab/Thierry Malleret volumes “COVID-19: The Great Reset” and the more recent update “The Great Narrative (The Great Reset)”, both of which Amazon will be quite willing to sell you. And for a weekly update, you can subscribe to Thierry Malleret’s “Monthly Barometer”, which Amazon summarizes for us as follows:

"Thierry Malleret is the Managing Partner of The Monthly Barometer, a succinct predictive newsletter that also provides tailor-made research to its subscribers."

At least the overlords are willing to provide us a window into their current plans for managing our lives. For a price, of course. Extracting just a bit of rent along the way; a little pinprick. Personally, I do not wish to become comfortably numb. Leave our kids alone.

Press Release: On The Eve of Washington March, COVID Declaration

Now Backed by More Than 17,000 Doctors and Medical Scientists Around the World

Press Release: On The Eve of Washington March, COVID Declaration
Now Backed by More Than 17,000 Doctors and Medical Scientists Around the World

Robert W Malone MD, MS 12 min ago

On The Eve of Washington March, COVID Declaration Now Backed by More Than 17,000 Doctors and Medical Scientists Around the World

Following Dr. Robert Malone’s appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, more physicians and medical scientists have joined with their colleagues from around the world in signing the Physicians Declaration. Now with more than 17,000 signatures confirmed through a rigorous validation process, these physicians and scientists are represented by Dr. Malone as he speaks at the march to Defeat the Mandates on Sunday, January 23 in Washington, D.C.

The over 17,000 signers to the declaration have reached consensus on three foundational principles:

1. Healthy children should not be subject to forced vaccination: they face negligible risk from covid, but face potential permanent, irreversible risk to their health if vaccinated, including heart, brain, reproductive and immune system damage.
2. Natural Immunity Denial has prolonged the pandemic and needlessly restricted the lives of Covid-recovered people. Masks, lockdowns, and other restrictions have caused great harm especially to children and delayed the virus’ transition to endemic status.
3. Health agencies and institutions must cease interfering with the physician-patient relationship. Policymakers are directly responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths, as a result of institutional interference and blocking treatments proven to cure at a near 100% rate when administered early.

Led by Dr. Malone and staying loyal to the Hippocratic oath, the declaration’s signers have resisted financial inducements, threats, unprecedented censorship, and reputational attacks to remain committed first to patient health and well-being. After 23 months of research, millions of patients treated, hundreds of clinical trials performed and scientific data shared, and after demonstrating and documenting their success in combating COVID-19, the 17,000+ physicians and medical scientists who signed the declaration support the core principles Dr. Malone and many other doctors have been speaking out about since late last year.

The 17,000+ signatures of the declaration are authentic and must pass a screening process before being officially identified as signing the declaration. Signatories are required to supply their affiliation and a link to their medical organization, facility, or profile. Nurses, non-MD practitioners and non-medical scientists are removed from the list signatories, as are duplicate entries and “bot” emails. The emails of the signatories have been separately and repeatedly tested and verified by a 3rd-party provider.

As the number of signatures to the declaration continues to rise, we have published a select group of world famous, highly credentialed physicians and scientists who authored the
declaration. Many other doctors who have spoken out against the corruption, censorship and hypocrisy by authorities have been threatened, fired, censured, lied about, intimidated, and harassed - all while saving patients’ lives daily. Never has the public been forced to become lab rats, for a vaccine 5 years away from adequate testing, violating basic principles of informed consent. Moreover, the medical and scientific evidence on the efficacy and safety of the COVID- 19 vaccine do not support mandating its use for anyone, especially healthy children.

January 23 March on Washington
The over 17,000 signers of the declaration will be represented on Sunday, January 23, when Dr. Malone stands with fellow doctors and scientists on stage in Washington DC, as part of the Defeat the Mandates march Sunday, January 23, 2022. At the Lincoln Memorial, they will be joined by a wide range of featured guests for a series of inspiring talks and musical performances. Join us!

About the Global COVID Summit
Global Covid Summit is the product of an international alliance of doctors and scientists, committed to speaking truth to power about Covid pandemic research and treatment.

Thousands have died from Covid as a result of being denied life-saving early treatment. The Declaration is a battle cry from physicians who are daily fighting for the right to treat their patients, and the right of patients to receive those treatments - without fear of interference, retribution or censorship by government, pharmacies, pharmaceutical corporations, and big tech. We demand that these groups step aside and honor the sanctity and integrity of the patient- physician relationship, the fundamental maxim "First Do No Harm", and the freedom of patients and physicians to make informed medical decisions. Lives depend on it. More information here: Global Covid Summit



An events page is available to alert you to upcoming Summits and other events, most prominent of which is the January 23 March on Washington, an "American Homecoming" to protest overreaching medical mandates.

But you can also view some amazing video from past summits including Florida and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Please spread the word about this site - it's important!

Remember - if you are a physician, nurse, medical scientist or medical care professional, please wear a white coat to the march (or carry it). Let’s all work to make this march peaceful in solidarity for all those marching around the world.

Karl Lauterbach, German Health Minister, explained a few days ago that vaccine mandates are actually all about freedom:

I believe that doctors should vaccinate anyone who wants to be vaccinated because of the mandates, or anyone who wants to be vaccinated because they freely choose it. No one will be vaccinated against their will; the vaccine mandate will simply lead people, ultimately, to accept voluntary vaccination.

We are four weeks into our Omicron wave here in Germany. In this country of 83 million people, a grand total of 631 people are in the hospital with confirmed Omicron infection. Thirty-five of them are in the ICU, and 27 have died (p. 28, Table 5). This is why we have to abolish bodily autonomy.

Win-Win, Lose-Lose
They all hate us anyhow…
…so let’s drop the Big One now.
— Randy Newman

The world is waiting to know: will “Joe Biden” bomb Guatemala back to the stone age for sending incursions of its (very fine) people across America’s southern border? All of a sudden borders are sacred again, you know. Of course, there’s that old problem Colin Powell used to raise back in the Iraq War days of you break it, you own it. But, hey, don’t we already own Guatemala? And isn’t it already sort of broken?

Well, you can own a dog, say, a pitiful, broke-down, half-lame, scrofulous, rheumy-eyed, junkyard kind of old dog, and that doesn’t stop the dog from taking a dump on the neighbor’s property across the street. Anyway, the only thing Guatemala is dumping in Texas and Arizona is new voters, and that just means more democracy for us — a “win-win” as they say in the cabinet room! (Though, Yamiche Alcindor might still want to ask “JB” at the next presser if he would risk the US supply of bananas. We’re having enough trouble getting auto parts, fer chrissake.) Such are the quandaries of US foreign policy.

Then there’s this Shangri-La called Ukraine. Can anyone find it on the map? It’s nowheres around here. Let’s face it: Ukraine is not sending us any new voters or bananas. What good are they? You might argue: they exported the Vindman twins to America (win-win); they supported Hunter Biden’s cocaine habit for six or seven years and paid the mortgage on The Big Guy’s beach house. So, maybe we do owe them.

But then, it’s said that Russia is lurking on Ukraine’s border like a hungry bear at the edge of a sheep pasture, licking its chops, fork and knife in its fisted paws, napkin tied around its throat, visions of mutton-filled perogies dancing in its head. The whole DC foreign policy establishment says we should take a few potshots at that bear, teach it a lesson. I say, just throw Guatemala over the fence, let the bear chew on that, including a few bananas for dessert. There it is: problem solved.

Another possibility, which the “Joe Biden” admin seems to favor a little, is World War Three. We couldn’t lose that, could we? Well, at worst it would be a “lose-lose” so at least nobody else would win. Would the US be any worse off without New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and a few more population centers teeming with homeless junkies? (Who rarely show up at the polls to vote, by the way… and if you asked, could they even tell you who’s running for president?) World War Three begins to look like our silver linings playbook. London, Paris, and Berlin are not our problem, to be blunt about it. Even as you read this, “Joe Biden” is striving to explain his thoughts on these vexing matters, but he’s talking out of his ass so much it’s hard to tell whether he is setting forth actual policy or just breaking wind.

Isn’t it refreshing to not have to lede with Covid-19? It looks like “Joe Biden’s” effort to change the channel is working. Even so, there is some interesting Covid-19 news, like: the whole endless, heartbreaking, demoralizing episode is winding down. Whoa! That’s a shock! What will Western Civ do without it? In the UK, Boris Johnson put a stop to all restrictions, mask mandates, and vaxx passports, just like that (snap) on Wednesday. Then France announced it would lift most Covid-19 restrictions in February, which is a little more than a week from now, for those of you who haven’t mastered the new maff. Then, on Thursday, Austria’s parliament voted to approve mandatory vaccinations for everybody in the country — say, what? — leading the casual observer to wonder whether half of everybody in that country is maybe super pissed-off at their government, seeing how France and the UK are going the opposite way.

Let’s be honest: it’s getting laughable to seriously advocate vaxxing up a whole goshdarn population when it’s perfectly obvious now that the vaxxes don’t work and are making a lot of people sick with everything that can go wrong in a human body, plus Covid-19. Are nations such as Austria and Germany not looking plumb insane now? Can the European Union endure such wildly contradictory policy among its member states, and not make itself ridiculous? Let’s just say, the situation in Europe is in flux and events are moving fast.

Here in our exceptional nation, it is lately discovered — to the chagrin of the elite managerial classes — that The Science personified by Dr. Anthony Fauci is not medical science after all but rather political science. Ah! I see now why so much confusion has been sown over Dr. Fauci’s management of the Covid-19 pandemic. If he actually represented medical science, he might not have killed several hundred thousand people in this country by withholding and suppressing effective treatments and promoting deadly vaccines. He might not have disgraced the entire medical establishment and half-wrecked the system it works in. But, to paraphrase another eminent political scientist of yore, Josef Stalin, while one death is a tragedy, a half-million is a mere statistic. There’s science anyone can understand!

Jan 21, 2022


Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

The Global Health Security Index, released by the Nuclear Threat Initiative and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, looks at every country’s capacity to respond to emergencies like a pandemic. Dr. Jennifer Nuzzo returns to the podcast to talk with Dr. Josh Sharfstein about some takeaways from the 2021 report and what we’ve learned—and didn’t learn—from the pre-COVID-19 2019 report. They also talk about the report’s use as a tool for countries to shore up gaps in their ability to respond to future crises and why even the most prepared countries, like the US, still struggled with COVID-19 response.

19-Year U.S Airman Files EO Case Against Air Force Officials After Facing Discharge and Loss of Retirement for Saying No to Biden’s Unconstitutional Vax Mandate

By Jim Hoft
Published January 21, 2022 at 9:40am

Staff Sgt. Victoria Nelson/Air National Guard

An airman who worked for 19 years filed an EO complaint against the Air Force commander and surgeon general after his religious vaccine exemption was denied twice.

According to the complaint, both Gen. Anthony Cotton, commander of the Air Force Global Strike Command, and Lt. Gen. Robert Miller, Surgeon General, have violated federal law, DoD policy, Air Force policy for discriminating against one’s constitutionally protected 1st Amendment Right to freedom of religion by unlawfully denying a request for religious exemption.

“The Department of the Air Force has a compelling government interest in requiring you to comply with the COVID-19 immunization requirement because preventing the spread of disease among the force is vital to mission accomplishment,” Gen. Miller stated in his letter.

“Your health status as a non-immunized individual in this dynamic environment, and aggregated with other non-immunized individuals in steady state operations, would place health and safety, unit cohesion, and readiness at risk. Foregoing the above immunization requirement would have a real adverse impact on military readiness and public health and safety,” the General added.

Here is a copy of the letter sent from the Surgeon General:

In a separate letter, it stated that “failure to comply with this lawful order may result in administrative and/or punitive action for Willfully Disobeying a Superior Commissioned Officer, in violation of Article 90, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).”

As of Dec. 31, 2,500 unvaccinated airmen and Space Force guardians were ineligible for pay or benefits from the Air National Guard. Some were facing discharge and will lose retirement benefits.

Airforce Times reported:

As of Dec. 31, 2,500 unvaccinated airmen and Space Force guardians are ineligible for pay or benefits from the Air National Guard. Those troops are also banned from finishing out jobs, taking on new orders, showing up to drill weekends or participating in training.

It’s the service’s latest step to punish airmen who refuse the shots required by the Pentagon’s vaccine mandate. The number could grow to about 6,100 ousted Guardsmen if another 3,600 or so are denied religious exemptions — which no one has earned so far.

Another 2,100 or so are exempt for administrative reasons, like an upcoming retirement, or medical reasons such as a severe allergic reaction. Anyone who is exempt or waiting to hear whether they were approved for an exemption can still participate in regular Guard events like weekend drills.

Here is the first part of the facts listed by the complainant in support of his EO complaint:

A) In denying my request for religious accommodation Gen Cotton stated, “… the Department of Defense and the Department of the Air Force have a compelling government interest in maintaining a healthy and ready military force through vaccination”

(1) No fully licensed FDA approved vaccines for COVID-19 have been made available to market in the United States of America. Mandating experimental drugs granted emergency use authorization (EUA) does not justify a compelling government interest in maintaining a healthy and ready military force through vaccination, and is not a legal basis to deny religious accommodation.

(2) I have tested positive for powerful COVID-19 antibodies (Ref. Attachment 19). This test was conducted by a Board Certified Physician. My evaluation for preexisting immunity shows no burden is placed on the DoD and Air Force’s compelling governmental interest in maintaining a healthy and ready military force. Additionally, preexisting immunity is a least restrictive means of supporting the compelling governmental interest in maintaining a healthy and ready military force in relation to disease.

B) In denying my request for religious accommodation Gen Cotton stated, “Any less restrictive means of ensuring military readiness for mission accomplishment in light of current and ongoing COVID-19 pandemic are insufficient in your case.”

(1) I have been tested by a Board Certified Physician and come back positive for active COVID-19 antibodies (Ref. Attachment 19). This shows Gen Cotton was incorrect in stating, “Any less restrictive means of ensuring military readiness for mission accomplishment in light of current and ongoing COVID-19 pandemic are insufficient in your case.”

C) IAW AFPD52-2 and DAFI52-201: “The Air Force will consider Air Force members’ requests for religious accommodations from military policy, practice, or duty. The Air Force will approve an individual request for accommodation unless the request would have a real (not theoretical) adverse impact on military readiness, unit cohesion, good order, discipline, or public health and safety … airmen have a temporary exemption from compliance in the cases of medical practices or immunization while the request is pending.”, also, “The Department of the Air Force has a compelling government interest in mission accomplishment and will take this into account when considering members’ requests for accommodation of religious beliefs. This interest includes military readiness, unit cohesion, good order and discipline, and health and safety for both the member and the unit. Commanders may only impose limits on such expressions when there is a real (not theoretical) adverse impact on military readiness, unit cohesion, good order and discipline, health or safety of the member or the unit.”

An anonymous Arizona State University student recorded the professor of his pandemic horror class, Dr. Michael Stancliff, indoctrinating students about COVID-19 and saying that President Trump “unleashed racism” when describing the virus.

Dr. Stancliff also claimed there is no proof that the virus was “carelessly or intentionally deployed by the Chinese government.”

Newly released military documents from Project Veritas show that COVID-19 was, in fact, manufactured using gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

“This is the kinda crap I gotta deal with at ASU,” said the anonymous student.

Professor: How does that figural language convey or communicate social judgment and bias? Consider, for example, a story that has caught on, depicting COVID-19 as a biological weapon, either carelessly or intentionally deployed by the Chinese government. There’s no proof of this, of course, but it seems to make intuitive sense to some people. No doubt, depending on prejudices they already hold.

Consider reading the article we provided about the kind of racism unleashed by the language used by the Trump administration to describe the virus. Sontag’s thinking about the social imagination of illness.

The Gateway Pundit reached out and asked the student what the class was actually for.

Student: I was taking a class called “Horror: Films and Short Stories” at ASU. It’s a fun English elective that I thought would be interesting. It’s ENG: 324. When I got into the class, I thought I would be learning about and reading some regular horror, but it turns out that the whole class is now what they call “pandemic horror.” There are two professors teaching it, and there’s a male professor who sent out the presentation that you saw. He’s explaining how pandemics sometimes include racism and how the history of monsters includes racism sometimes. He went on to include that the COVID-19 outbreak made society look at this pandemic as an “Us vs. Them” type of scenario. And in the video, he said that people who think the Chinese released the pandemic from a lab hold prejudices against the Chinese. He then said that Trump is basically racist for sparking this type of talk

The student recorded his lecture and submitted it to The Gateway Pundit.

Ireland to Scrap Nearly All Covid Restrictions While Joe Biden and Democrats in the US Push For More Covid Tyranny

By Cristina Laila
Published January 21, 2022 at 1:20pm

The Republic of Ireland will scrap nearly all Covid restrictions beginning Saturday.

Meanwhile in the United States, Joe Biden and the Democrats are pushing for more Covid tyranny.

A Covid ‘green pass’ will no longer be needed to enter pubs, restaurants and other indoor venues in Ireland.

All ‘social distancing’ requirements will also be dropped.

Sky News reported:

The Irish government has agreed to lift almost all coronavirus restrictions from tomorrow – in a move attributed to the passing of the peak of the Omicron wave, and the country’s high vaccine uptake.

The landmark decision was announced by Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Micheal Martin in a televised address to the nation.

“Today is a good day,” he said.

From this weekend, Irish pubs, restaurants and other hospitality outlets can return to normal operations, and customers will not be asked for their digital COVID pass.

A full return to the workplace begins on a phased basis from Monday.

Some rules will continue, however. The requirement to wear face masks is being retained, until at least the end of February, and a digital COVID pass will still be required for international travel.

Self-isolation will remain in place for symptomatic people.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson also announced Covid restrictions in England would be lifted.

Although the US Supreme Court and federal judges have brought some relief to American citizens by blocking some of Joe Biden’s Covid vaccine mandates, many Democrat-run cities are under heavy restrictions.

Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, Seattle, Minneapolis and San Francisco require proof of vaccination to enter indoor restaurants, theaters, bars, gyms and more.

“You Need to Get Your Booster in Order to Be Up to Date” – Walensky Says Definition of Fully Vaccinated is Being Changed to Include Covid Booster (VIDEO)

Here we go.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky on Friday announced the definition of fully vaccinated is being changed to include the Covid booster shot.

“And what we are really working to do is pivot the language to make sure that everybody is as up to date with their Covid-19 vaccines and they personally could be based on when they got their last vaccine,” Walensky said.

She continued, “So importantly right now, we are pivoting our language, we really want to make sure people are up to date. That means if you recently got your second dose, you are not eligible for a booster, you’re up to date. If you are eligible for a booster and you haven’t gotten it, YOU’RE NOT UP TO DATE and you need to get your booster in order to be up to date.”

According to the CDC, 39% of of fully vaccinated people in the United States have gotten a booster shot.

With the language changing from “fully vaccinated” to “up to date,” no one will ever be considered fully vaccinated… and that’s the point.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Friday attacked the free and open state of Florida with brazen lies.

Psaki claimed Florida, where schools have been 100% open since the Fall of 2020 has “done little” to distribute money to keep schools open.

Democrat-run cities and counties have received Covid funds to keep schools open, yet many have gone back to virtual learning.

Typical projection from a Democrat.

Governor DeSantis’ spokeswoman Christina Pushaw blasted Psaki and corrected the record.

“Florida public schools have been open to 100% of K-12 students since the Fall 2020 semester.
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of many Democrat-run areas that received billions of dollars to “safely reopen schools” but are still forcing kids to do ineffective Zoom classes.”

Peter Daszak Confesses to Working for CIA: ‘EcoHealth Alliance Is a Deep State Org’ - News Punch

EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak, who conducted gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, has confessed to being a CIA agent working on behalf of the Deep State, according to bombshell new claims.

Peter Daszak Confesses to Working for CIA: ‘EcoHealth Alliance Is a Deep State Org’
Fact checked
January 21, 2022

EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak, who conducted gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, has confessed to being a CIA agent working on behalf of the Deep State, according to bombshell new claims.

According to EcoHealth Alliance Associate Vice President Dr. Andrew Huff, Daszak personally confessed to him that he was secretly working on behalf of the Central Intelligence Agency and declared that EcoHealth Alliance was a “CIA front organization.”

Huff received his Ph.D. in Environmental Health specializing in emerging diseases before becoming an Associate Vice President at EcoHealth Alliance, according to report by journalist Kanekoa.

Infowars.com reports: While working with the global scientific nonprofit, he was tasked with developing “novel methods of bio-surveillance, data analytics, and visualization for disease detection.”

EcoHealth Alliance, headed by Daszak, and financed by several US government agencies, partnered with Dr. Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina and Dr. Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Institute of Virology to conduct gain-of-function research on bat-borne coronaviruses in Communist China prior to the initial outbreak of COVID-19.

Daszak reportedly oversaw the screening of “thousands of bat samples for novel coronaviruses.” The controversial research also involved “screening people who work with live animals.”

The revelations added fuel to concerns that coronavirus pandemic originated from that very lab, which Daszak aggressively maintains is not true.

Through a series of tweets posted on January 12, Huff wrote:

For the Record: In 2015, Dr. Peter Daszak stopped me as we were leaving work late at night, and asked me if he should work with the CIA. I was shocked given my experience in security. Over the next 2 months he gave me updates on 3 separate occasions about his work with the CIA.

When he asked me the question I stated “Peter, it never hurts to talk with them and there could potentially be money in it.” Meanwhile, I was cringing that he told me this, in a non classified setting (a SCIF), to a person that was not “read-in,” and to a uncleared person (me).

Then, over the next two months at the break area while getting coffee, or between meetings, he stated that they were interested in the places that we were working, the people involved, the data that we were collecting, and that the work with them was proceeding.

Then, Huff detailed his belief that Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance was a “CIA front organization.”

The statement continued:

Looking back, I now believe that EcoHealth Alliance was a CIA front organization to collect viral samples and to collect intelligence on foreign laboratory capacity. There was no way that the data collected or the models being developed, could predict transmission or pandemics.

Contextually, EcoHealth was barely solvent and it was common place to lay off employees with the ebb and flow of federal and private funding. Peter would do anything or say anything to obtain funding. Intelligence organizations often target people in financial distress.

From the CIA’s perspective, it was a great plan in my opinion, if what Dr. Peter Daszak said was true. Since it was common place for Peter to lie, I didn’t necessarily believe him when he told me. However…

Based on the past two months of the US government spending millions of dollars surveilling me and MTRX INC employees, including military aircraft, attempting to destroy my house, bugging everything in it, stealing my property, and hacking all my devices, I believe that the worst is likely true.



Prior to the public statement earlier that morning, Huff took to Twitter and claimed “members of the US Government IC community have been harassing me, broke into my house, stole hard drives, and installed electronic surveillance devices throughout my house.”



This, Huff said, suggests to him that Daszak was not lying to him when he apparently explained that he had been working for the CIA.

“EcoHealth Alliance is likely a CIA front organization. COVID-19 is the biggest intelligence failure since 9/11,” wrote Huff. “The coverup is the greatest in US History, far worse than the Iran-Contra scandal. The truth is coming out and I will testify this under oath.”

In a separate series of posts, Huff said that he “wouldn’t be surprised if the CIA/IC community orchestrated the COVID coverup acting as an intermediary between Fauci, Collins, Daszak, Baric, and many others. At best, it was the biggest criminal conspiracy in US history by bureaucrats or political appointees.”

Another Bombshell Report: U.K. Study Shows Maskless Kids *Less Likely* to Test Positive for Covid

"It's no wonder the U.K. is dropping all mask mandates and don't mask children in school. There is still no strong statistical evidence they work."

Another Bombshell Report: U.K. Study Shows Maskless Kids *Less Likely* to Test Positive for Covid

January 21, 2022
by Kyle Becker

Written by Kyle Becker

The Centers for Disease Control blew a massive hole in the two-year running deception on the need for universal vaccination.

The CDC released a ‘bombshell’ report on natural immunity, conveniently one day after the Supreme Court ruled that Biden’s federal vaccine mandate for large employers should remain blocked.

Now, I use the term ‘bombshell’ euphemistically, because honest brokers of the Science have known about and reported on natural immunity for almost two years now. Prior to Covid, it wasn’t necessary. You certainly did not need to lecture practicing doctors about the immunological effects of prior infection to viruses. They would merely give you a dull look, nod with feigned interest, and proceed to take your temperature.

Yet Big Pharma and the radical left’s fraudulent “consensus” model of science are now exerting an iron grip on our institutions, leading to a kind of “mass formation psychosis.” This is social science jargon for the cult-like groupthink that has cast a hypnotic spell over much of America — particularly in neofascist blue states.

Big Pharma captured regulators. Democratic Party captured media. Surveillance state captured Tech Giants.

This is how America got ‘captured.’

So, in order to perpetuate their Svengali trick on the masses, it is necessary to act as if the events in our lives and communities are happening in a vacuum. Comparison is the micro-managing technocrat’s worst enemy. This is why Least Coast and Left Coast charlatans have relentlessly attacked mask-shucking states like Florida and Texas. If you can’t ignore it — smear it.

Suffice it to say, the Covid hustlers refuse to admit that every place that does not have their extreme measures have had the exact same experience as the one that do. Free states exist.

Control groups exist. It must be such a nuisance for the totalitarian masterminds.

Thus, whether it’s the massive protests in Europe against vaccine passes and mandates, or the much more reliable data on Covid reported in the U.K., the mainstream media in the U.S. appear to go by the maxim: If it didn’t happen here, then it didn’t happen.

But there is something that did happen. And it did not happen here.

The U.K.’s Health Security Agency (UKHSA), had the gall to issue a report that echoes much of the CDC’s findings.

Here, it shows that those with prior infections to Covid in the Delta period in particular were much less likely to test positive for Covid infections than those in the vaccinated group.

It also shows vaccines on the whole had little to know effect on Covid positivity rates, unless one had a second vaccine within 15 to 90 days or a third vaccine more than 14 days prior. (So again, we see the moving of the goalposts to cover Big Pharma’s rear on potential adverse events to the third shot).

The former ONS head of Health & Job stats, Jamie Jenkins, reacted to the findings.



“Breaking – new ONS stats show the likelihood of testing positive for #Covid19 is lowest for those with a prior infection vs someone never infected,” Jenkins said.

“Prior infection offers better protection vs never infected when compared to someone boosted vs someone not vaccinated,” he added.

The UKHSA report also shows that nearly the entire population of Great Britain has some form of antibodies to Covid-19.

In the United States, the media barely mention the existence of antibodies, never mind ask for seroprevalence in the general population.

Here were the death rates by “vaccinated” and “unvaccinated” groups.

You can see that the death rates for under 40 are very low or negligible. Again, we see the same shell game where all possible deaths from vaccine-related adverse events are conflated with Covid-related deaths.

The U.K.’s Office of National Statistics also released a report that contained some blockbuster findings of its own, particularly on Covid testing and the masking of schoolchildren.

Right off the bat, the ONS notes that people who have been vaccinated are more likely to test positive for Covid than those with prior infections.

“Our latest data for the fortnight ending 31 December 2021 show similar conclusions to our last publication, namely”:

• those who reported receiving one of any coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines 15 to 90 days ago, a second Pfizer vaccine 15 to 180 days ago, or any three vaccinations (including booster vaccinations) were all less likely to test positive than those who are not vaccinated; however, these effects are smaller than what we have seen previously
• those who had previously been infected with COVID-19 continued to be less likely to test positive than those who had not, however this effect was smaller than we have seen in the past
• those who were previously infected during the period when Delta was dominant were even less likely to test positive again than those infected in the Alpha dominant or pre-Alpha period¹

The ONS then goes into the testing demographics. It then explains why this is different and why it matters.

People who had received any one COVID-19 vaccine, a second Pfizer vaccine 15 to 180 days ago, or any three COVID-19 vaccines (including boosters) were all less likely to test positive. However, there was no statistical evidence that having any other second vaccine (AstraZeneca, Moderna, or a second Pfizer vaccine more than 180 days ago) affected a person’s likelihood of testing positive in the fortnight ending 31 December 2021. This is different to findings reported previously, which found that those who had received two of any COVID-19 vaccine were less likely to test positive than those who were not vaccinated, regardless of time after the second dose.

Below you can see the difference in likelihood for testing positive for Covid reinfection by variant period.

There was also some very interesting mask data provided, although the ONS doesn’t advertise the implications.

It’s no wonder the U.K. is dropping all mask mandates and don’t mask children in school. There is still no strong statistical evidence the oppressive measures work.

The ONS points out that on the likelihood scale, adults who self-report “never” wearing masks in enclosed spaces have a slightly hire risk of Covid infection.

However, as one can plainly see, the results are the same or less nearly across the board for the “never” and “sometimes” wearers versus the “always” wearers. In fact, it shows clearly that school age children who “never” wear a mask (most of the children in the U.K. as might shock some reporters) have a lower incidence of Covid than those who “always” or “sometimes” wear them.

All the trauma and angst being forced upon children in the United States. And for nothing. How many times do we need to see such data before the mask hustlers get the gist?

When will America’s school administrators and public health officials acknowledge that the country’s schoolchildren are being needlessly harmed for their parents germaphobic virtue-signaling? It is astounding that millions of kids can be subjected to such oppressive measures with no sound science or hard data to back them up.

Even the Surgeon General admitted that such measures are exacerbating the childhood mental health crisis. They are scarring these children for a generation, and unless they course correct now, it seems to be on purpose. It’s no less than a crime against humanity.

We are four weeks into our Omicron wave here in Germany. In this country of 83 million people, a grand total of 631 people are in the hospital with confirmed Omicron infection. Thirty-five of them are in the ICU, and 27 have died (p. 28, Table 5). This is why we have to abolish bodily autonomy.

Those numbers sure don’t seem to be very high. We have about four times the population, I’m sure our infected put them to shame.

Aaron Rodgers blasts Biden for ‘pandemic of unvaccinated’ comment

Aaron Rodgers blasts Biden for ‘pandemic of unvaccinated’ comment
QB questions how president could have any constituents ‘if you watch any of his attempts at public speaking.’

Green Bay Packers star quarterback Aaron Rodgers is blasting Joe Biden for suggesting the current COVID crisis is a ‘pandemic of the unvaccinated,’ even taking a shot at the president’s public speaking acumen.

Rodgers’ comments published Friday by ESPN are a bit of return fire after Biden made a comment last month during a tour of tornado-ravaged Kentucky that the QB needed to get vaccinated.

“When the president of the United States says, 'This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,' it's because him and his constituents, which, I don't know how there are any if you watch any of his attempts at public speaking, but I guess he got 81 million votes," Rodgers said.

"But when you say stuff like that, and then you have the CDC, which, how do you even trust them, but then they come out and talk about 75% of the COVID deaths have at least four comorbidities."

"And you still have this fake White House set saying that this is the pandemic of the unvaccinated, that's not helping the conversation,” he said.

The CDC acknowledges that current vaccines don’t fully protect against the Omicron variant of COVID-19 that is racing across the United States. But it insist that vaccinated people are still better protected against more serious symptoms, hospitalizations and death than the unvaccinated.

The study that Rodgers referred to involved the CDC reviewing 1.2 million vaccinated Americans. It found 36 vaccinated Americans died of COVID-19, and that 28 of them had four or more comorbidities.

Rodgers drew some criticisms earlier this year after he contracted COVID-19 and had to admit he wasn’t vaccinated after previously telling reporters he had been immunized. Roger said you should’ve use better words to explain he was referring to efforts to boost his system with natural remedies. Roger said he’s allergic to some of the COVID vaccines.

Connecticut governor requires nursing home visitors to show proof of vaccination

Gov. Lamont’s order calls for visitors to show proof they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and have received a booster, if eligible.

By Brent Addleman
Updated: January 21, 2022 - 10:48pm

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont has issued an executive order pertaining to nursing home visitors.

The governor announced in a news release he has signed Executive Order No. 14F, which requires all nursing homes in the state to require visitors show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test result from a recent test.

“We know that some of the people who are most vulnerable to the impacts of COVID-19 include those who live in nursing homes, which is why we need to be doing everything we can to protect them from this virus,” Lamont said in the release. “This is one more precaution we can implement at these facilities to keep them safe.”

The order goes into effect on Saturday, according to the release.

Lamont’s order calls for visitors to show proof they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and have received a booster, if eligible, according to the release. In addition, the visitor must show paper or electronic proof of a negative test within the previous two days or a PCT test completed in the past three days.

Visitors must also take a rapid antigen test at the nursing home, according to the release.

Under the order, nursing homes can deny entrance to any visitor who tests positive for the virus or who refuses the rapid test. In addition, the nursing homes, under guidance from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid, can’t deny entry to any visitor willing to take the test but is unable because the nursing home doesn’t have a test.

According to the release, the state’s Department of Public Health is planning to distribute more than 50,000 rapid antigen tests to the state’s nursing homes to be used exclusively for safe visitation.

Ivermectin Could Destroy Justification For Lockdowns And Vaccine Mandates

FRIDAY, JAN 21, 2022 - 11:00 PM
Authored by Harry Lee and Nicholas VandenNieuwenhof via The Epoch Times,

Federal health agencies haven’t recognized ivermectin as an effective treatment for COVID-19 patients. According to Doctor Leland Stillman, the reason is more political than scientific, because otherwise there would be no basis for lockdowns or vaccine mandates.

“If ivermectin were recognized by the public health and academic establishment as the drug that it is, that treats acute viral illnesses, one of which is COVID-19, the entire justification for lockdowns, mandates, let alone vaccine research and development would evaporate overnight,” Stillman told The Epoch Times in a recent interview.

Dr. Leland Stillman in an interview with The Epoch Times in Arizona in December, 2021. (The Epoch Times)

According to Section 564 of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (pdf), the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) can only issue emergency use authorization if certain criteria are met, including “there is no adequate, approved, and available alternative to the product.”

So if there’s an approved alternative, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)—an agency in HHS—can’t issue emergency use authorization for COVID-19 vaccines.

Stillman said it’s not a conspiracy theory or even an isolated opinion that ivermectin works for treating COVID-19, because tens of thousands of physicians all over the world have recognized its effectiveness.


File photo: A package of ivermectin tablets. (Natasha Holt/The Epoch Times)

The Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), a nonprofit organization working on protocols to treat patients with COVID-19, regards ivermectin as a core medication used in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. Its website cites 142 studies, among which 93 are peer-reviewed, and 75 with results comparing treatment and control groups showing ivermectin works.

However, the FDA has repeatedly said that “currently available data do not show ivermectin is effective against COVID-19.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) directed The Epoch Times to contact the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for COVID-19 treatments. NIH referred to their online guidelines about ivermectin: “There is insufficient evidence for the COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel to recommend either for or against the use of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19. Results from adequately powered, well-designed, and well-conducted clinical trials are needed to provide more specific, evidence-based guidance on the role of ivermectin in the treatment of COVID-19.”

Stillman explained why many doctors are silent on recognizing ivermectin as an effective drug for COVID-19, a disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.

“And the reality that’s really important for people to understand is that doctors can lose their licenses or lose their board certification, which is very important for their income based on insurance guidelines, for speaking out as I have chosen to,” Stillman said.

Stillman said he is able to speak up because he’s one of very few doctors in the country who takes cash and doesn’t work with insurance companies.

Graduated from University of Virginia School of Medicine in Charlottesville, Virginia, Stillman is now practicing medicine in Kissimmee, Florida. His focus is to help people achieve health with integrative medicine, which combines a number of different modalities, such as traditional Chinese medicine, herbs, nutrition, diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes.

Two prominent scientists, Martin Kulldorff, previously a professor at Harvard Medical School, and Jay Bhattacharya, a professor of Medicine at Stanford University, also explained why many scientists are silent on this issue as well.

In an article published in The Epoch Times last month, the two professors said NIH and its National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which is headed by Anthony Fauci, control a scientific research budget of billions of dollars every year, and “channel research dollars to nearly every infectious disease epidemiologist, immunologist, and virologist of note in the United States and UK.” So it would be unwise for scientists to upset these health agencies.

“There’s a lot of politics on this,” Stillman said, referring to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

“And the way it’s been politicized is really disgraceful and unfortunate. At the end of the day, it’s all about how these corporations who are profiting immensely off of the pandemic.”

Stillman said freedom is the way out of the current problem.

“Freedom is absolutely the solution,” Stillman said.
“Because if you really allow doctors to treat patients on their own terms, without insurance companies, without all this, it can be very affordable, and it can be very effective.

“Because the reality is that a lot of the care being provisioned right now, it’s just being provisioned based on some bureaucrat’s idea of what’s good medicine, not based on what the patients actually want and think is worth it to them.”

Beijing Confirms More COVID Cases As Chinese Port Congestion Expected To Worsen

FRIDAY, JAN 21, 2022 - 08:40 PM

As the number of days between now and the start of the Winter Games in Beijing continues to shrink, the number of confirmed cases of COVID acknowledged by the CCP continues to grow.

According to Bloomberg, China's NHC reported 12 COVID infections Friday, bringing the total confirmed in the capital city to two dozen since last Saturday. Authorities once again blamed the outbreak on imported frozen food and other imported products, lest anybody question the efficacy of the CCP's "warlike" approach to suppressing the virus. The presence of the omicron variant in the city wasn't acknowledged until just a few days ago, and the government has been pretty tight-lipped when it comes to confirming new omicron cases.

Unfortunately for the CCP, the pandemic isn't the only problem persistently plaguing China's leaders ahead of the Winter Games. The ructions in China's property sector still present a major risk to economic stability, even if shares of homebuilders have rebounded from their lows.



Here's a breakdown of Friday's infections, and the factors that the NHC has blamed for the infections.

Friday’s numbers include five people that are not yet showing any symptoms. Two infections were traced back to an earlier patient coming in contact with international mail from Canada that was later found to have been contaminated with the omicron variant. The remaining 10 infections are close contacts of the initial cluster detected earlier this week and driven by the delta variant at a cold storage facility dealing with imported foods, health officials said at a briefing.

Beijing has emerged as the latest COVID hotspot after China's health authorities scrambled to contain the spread of the omicron variant in Tianjin, a coastal city near Beijing, and weeks after they locked down Xi’an, a western Chinese city of 13MM that has been locked down since just before Christmas.

While the outbreaks have interfered with production of semiconductors and other goods in Xi'an and elsewhere, China's ports have also been struggling with disruptions - and not just the port in Tianjin.

Bloomberg reported that containers are stacking up at the already backed-up port in Shenzhen. The Yantian terminal at the Shenzen port has been forced to warn clients about the backlog, which is likely going to get worse before it gets better since the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday is right around the corner.

Ships arriving to the Yantian terminal are delayed by an average seven days and the number of ships arriving from Europe and the U.S. has fallen more than 40% in the past two weeks, the terminal said in a customer advisory Wednesday. That comes on top of the problems Shenzhen port was already facing, with a viral outbreak earlier this month leading to lockdowns of districts, testing of workers and trucking delays at the Yantian and Shekou container terminals.

The congestion has prompted the Yantian terminal to say it will start restricting the acceptance of containers. To stop operations getting worse, from Friday full containers can only be trucked in four days before vessels are due to berth, the operator said.

This week is seen as the "peak" week to get goods out of China before the lengthy holiday.

Scientists Instrumental To COVID-19 'Natural Origins' Narrative Received Over $50 Million In NIAID Funding In 2020-2021

FRIDAY, JAN 21, 2022 - 07:40 PM
Authored by Jeff Carlson and Hans Mahncke via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

Four prominent scientists who played key roles in shaping the public narrative around the origin of COVID-19 received substantial increases in grant money from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, in the subsequent two years, a review of funding data by The Epoch Times has found.

Three of these scientists—Kristian Andersen, Robert Garry, and Michael Farzan—were advisers to a teleconference organized by Fauci held on Feb. 1, 2020, in response to increasing public questions about the origin of the virus.

The scientists were also instrumental in the publication of Proximal Origin, a highly influential paper that promoted a natural origins theory for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, and has been frequently cited by the government and media.

Emails released under Freedom of Information Act requests, showed that the scientists had told the senior members of Fauci’s teleconference that they were 60 to 80 percent sure that COVID-19 had come out of a lab.

Notably, despite their private concerns about the origin of the virus, the first draft of Proximal Origin was completed on the same day as the teleconference. Andersen and Garry were co-authors of Proximal Origin and Farzan was acknowledged in the Nature version of Proximal Origin for his participatory discussions in the article’s creation.

Additionally, Fauci’s NIAID provided a substantial increase in funding to EcoHealth’s Peter Daszak, through whom NIAID had funded controversial gain-of-function coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.

Some of these funding amounts have continued through 2021—and one of the newest grants will continue through at least 2025.

A significant portion of the funding increase for Daszak, as well as for Andersen and Garry, was provided through NIAID’s creation of the Centers for Research in Emerging Infectious Diseases (CREID).

The program, which was originally referred to as Emerging Infectious Diseases Research Centers (EIDRCs) during the early planning stages in 2019, was formally announced under a new name on Aug. 27, 2020. It is not known why the program was initially delayed or why it was renamed.

The new initiative, described as a global network that involves “multidisciplinary investigations into how and where viruses and other pathogens emerge from wildlife and spillover to cause disease in people,” provided eleven new grants totaling $17 million of new funding in the first year and $82 million in total funding across five years.

Andersen and Garry were the co-recipients of a new $8.9 million 5-year grant made under the CREID initiative that established the West African Research Network for Infectious Diseases (WARN-ID). Daszak was the recipient of a new $7.5 million, 5-year CREID grant that established the Emerging Infectious Diseases: South East Asia Research Collaboration Hub (EID-SEARCH). The other participants of the NIAID CREID program can be found here.

Notably, although the creation of CREID was not publicly announced until Aug. 27, 2020, the Award Notice Date for the grants to Andersen and Garry are listed as May 21, 2020. The CREID grant to Daszak lists an Award Notice Date of June 17, 2020. The timing of Daszak’s grant is particularly noteworthy as it came shortly after President Donald Trump had revoked Daszak’s previous grant from Fauci’s NIAID in April 2020 due to Daszak’s entanglements with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Andersen, who had privately told Fauci on Jan. 31, 2020, that the virus “looked engineered,” but later helped spearhead Fauci’s efforts to promote a natural origins narrative, received a total of $7.4 million in funding in 2020 as compared to $4.5 million in grant proceeds in 2019.

Andersen’s total grant funding increased to nearly $9 million in 2021. The new CREID grants (co-awarded with Garry) accounted for approximately $1.9 million of his 2020 grant proceeds and $2 million of his grant proceeds in 2021. Included in Andersen’s 2021 figure is a $266,250 CREID grant that was made to Andersen but did not include Garry as a co-recipient.

While it is not known at this point whether there was a connection between the increased funding and the scientists’ involvement in shaping the public natural origins narrative, these new revelations raise an obvious question: How is it that among the thousands of scientists eligible to participate in the much-desired funding from the eleven grants provided by Fauci’s new $82 million CREID initiative, three of those chosen happened to be the same individuals who had led the way in promoting Fauci’s natural origins narrative—despite their private concerns that the virus had been created in a lab.

During the Feb. 1, 2020, teleconference, Andersen claimed to be “60 to 70 percent sure the virus came from a laboratory.” One of Andersen’s Proximal Origin co-authors, Edward Holmes, put that figure even higher, at “80 percent.”

Garry, who told the senior members of Fauci’s teleconference group that he “really can’t think of a plausible natural scenario where you get from the bat virus” to SARS-CoV-2, received $7 million in NIAID grants in 2020 as compared to $5.7 million in 2019. Garry also received $6.6 million in grants in 2021. The new CREID grant (co-awarded with Andersen) accounted for approximately $1.9 million of his 2020 grant proceeds and $1.8 million of his grant proceeds in 2021.

During the Feb. 1, 2020, teleconference, Garry cited the remarkable sequences of mutations that would have to occur for SARS-CoV-2 to arise naturally, telling the group, “I just can’t figure out how this gets accomplished in nature.” However, Garry noted that a lab-created virus would easily explain the virus data he was seeing, telling Fauci’s group that “in the lab, it would be easy to generate the perfect 12 base insert that you wanted.”

Notably, Garry recently admitted in written correspondence with The Intercept that he had been advised not to discuss a lab leak in the Proximal Origin paper, stating, “The major feedback we got from the Feb 1 teleconference was: 1. Don’t try to write a paper at all—it’s unnecessary or 2. If you do write it, don’t mention a lab origin as that will just add fuel to the conspiracists.”

Garry—along with Andersen—must have heeded that directive because on Feb. 1, 2020, the same day as Fauci’s teleconference, both men had helped to complete the first draft of Proximal Origin promoting the idea that the virus had originated in nature. That paper became the media’s and the public health establishment’s go-to evidence for a natural origin for the virus.

The choice of Andersen as a lead author for Proximal Origin is particularly curious as Andersen had no material experience in researching coronaviruses. His stated focus was related to the Zika virus, Ebola virus, West Nile virus, and Lassa virus. It wasn’t until sometime after the Feb. 1 teleconference that he changed his biography to incorporate SARS-CoV-2.

Proximal Origin was published online on Feb. 16, 2020, and sought to exclude the possibility of a lab leak. The article would prove to be highly influential and has been extensively used by Fauci and media organizations in their promotion of the natural origins narrative.

Another recipient of funding under the CREID initiative was EcoHealth president Peter Daszak, who received a total of $1.5 million in both 2020 and 2021. Unlike either Andersen or Garry, proceeds from his CREID grant make up the entirety of his listed NIAID grants in both years. By way of comparison, Daszak had received approximately $662,000 in NIAID grant money in 2019. Put another way, Daszak’s post-pandemic funding increased by approximately 130 percent.

Daszak, who heavily promoted the natural origins narrative, was personally involved in gain-of-function work with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which continued until at least April 2020.

Most prominently, Daszak authored a 2018 research proposal which details the creation of a virus in a lab that bears a remarkable similarity to the defining features of COVID-19.

That proposal, dated March 27, 2018, details EcoHealth’s plans, in conjunction with the Wuhan Institute, to create entirely new coronaviruses through the synthetic combination of preexisting virus backbones. It describes how those viruses were going to be made more virulent in humans by the insertion of a furin cleavage site, a feature that distinguishes COVID-19 from all other SARS-related coronaviruses.

Another scientist who advised the Feb. 1, 2020, teleconference, Michael Farzan, received $9.9 million in grants from Fauci’s NIAID in 2020, followed by another $7.9 million in 2021 and an additional $919,000 at the start of 2022. By comparison, Farzan had received $3.8 million in grant money from NIAID in 2019. Although Farzan received substantial increases in grant funding, none of that money appears to have come under grants provided by the CREID initiative.

Farzan, an immunologist who in 2005 discovered the receptor of the original severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus, had told the senior members of Fauci’s teleconference group in emails that the pandemic likely originated from a lab in which live coronaviruses were passed repeatedly through human-like tissue, accelerating virus mutations with the end result being that one of the mutated viruses may have leaked from the lab. Farzan told Fauci’s group that he placed the likelihood of a leak from a Wuhan lab at 60 to 70 percent.

But in an Oct. 5, 2021, paper, Farzan appeared to agree with conclusions put forth in Proximal Origin, when he claimed that a “comparison of the S protein sequences indicates SARS-CoV-2 may have emerged from the recombination between bat and pangolin coronaviruses.” Farzan, like Andersen, works at the Scripps laboratory.

'Much Brighter Than Before': COVID-19 Cases Plunge Across US

FRIDAY, JAN 21, 2022 - 09:14 AM
Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

COVID-19 case counts have dropped across the United States in recent days, stoking optimism that the Omicron-fueled wave is subsiding.

Thirty-four states have recorded a decrease in cases in recent days, not including states that reported a single-day drop, according to an Epoch Times analysis.

That includes some of the states that saw huge Omicron-fueled increases, including New York, California, and Florida.

Omicron is one of the newest variants of Covid19.

[ZH]:


Other states that have seen fewer cases recently include Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Louisiana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, and Pennsylvania.

States in every region of the country have reported fewer cases, and a smaller number have also seen a lower number of people being admitted to hospitals with or for COVID-19.

Omicron is more transmissible than the Delta variant, which dominated the United States for months last year. However, it causes a smaller percentage of cases that require hospital care or lead to death.

States saw a significant increase in positive tests with the emergence of Omicron late last year, in part because the COVID-19 vaccines provide little protection against infection from the strain.

Cases in New York shot above 90,000 on Jan. 7, but have since dropped sharply, hitting 26,772 on Monday.

Hospitalizations attributed to COVID-19 have also gone down in the northeastern state in recent days.

Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, worries that hospital admissions may go back up in the near future, “but overall, the prognosis, the forecast, for COVID is much brighter than it had been before.”

“The COVID clouds are parting,” she told reporters in Latham last week.

In Alabama, cases have dropped from over 14,000 on Jan. 10 to under 10,000 for several days.
New Jersey recorded over 33,400 cases on Jan. 7. Ten days later, the state notched under 8,300.
Oregon’s daily count dropped from nearly 9,000 on Jan. 3 to under 1,800 about a week later.

In the other states, including Alaska and Iowa, cases have risen, have only dropped slightly, or have only recorded a one-day drop.

Overall, the number of new cases nationwide dropped from 1.3 million on Jan. 10 to the mid-800,000s in the following days, according to data reported by states to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

U.S. health officials have said the drop in cases could come quickly, similar to the plunges seen in South Africa and other countries that dealt with earlier Omicron waves.

Omicron is the new dominant strain in the country, displacing the Delta variant last month, according to genomic sequencing of a sample of cases.

Even though the new variant leads to a lower percentage of hospitalizations, experts have expressed concern that the surge in cases could lead to overburdening hospitals, which are already struggling with staffing shortages and fewer beds than several years ago.

Additionally, vaccines that had been shown effective against infection and severe disease from earlier variants stopped working as well against Delta and are even less effective against Omicron, particularly against infection, studies show.

Even a second booster of Pfizer’s shot isn’t enough to protect against Omicron infection, Israeli scientists said this week, following early data that indicated an initial booster of Moderna’s shot only lasted several weeks before slipping.

Primary vaccine regimens have held up somewhat against severe disease, and in many areas, more hospitalized patients are unvaccinated than vaccinated, prompting officials to urge people to get vaccinated and boosted.

Drawing from hospitalization data, California officials said that between Dec. 20 and Dec. 26, 2021, unvaccinated people were 8 times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19 than fully vaccinated people.

On the other hand, the number of vaccinated patients continues to rise in a number of locales.

In Massachusetts, for instance, where cases have eased but hospitalizations have not, 48 percent of the 3,223 COVID-19 patients in hospitals on Jan. 13 were fully vaccinated when they contracted the disease, according to the state Department of Public Health.

Czech Republic Abolishes Plan To Mandate COVID-19 Vaccines

FRIDAY, JAN 21, 2022 - 05:00 AM
Authored by Isabel van Brugen via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

The new Czech government on Wednesday threw out the previous administration’s plan to mandate COVID-19 vaccines for over-60s and people in key professions.



Under the former government, older adults, health care workers, firefighters, police officers and medical students would have been required to be vaccinated against COVID-19, effective March.

But Prime Minister Petr Fiala scrapped his predecessor Andrej Babis’s decree, which was issued in early December. He told reporters Wednesday that his new center-right government did not see the need for mandatory vaccination.

“We’ve agreed that vaccination against COVID-19 won’t be mandatory,” Fiala said. ”This does not change our stance on vaccination. It is still undoubtedly the best way to fight COVID-19 … however, we do not want to deepen fissures in society.”

Opponents of a vaccine mandate had staged several protests in Prague and elsewhere in the country.

So far, 62.9 percent of Czechs are considered fully vaccinated, below the European Union average, according to the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control. Almost 3.4 million people in the nation of 10.5 million also have received a booster shot.

Fiala said about 90 percent of people who would have been covered by the mandate have already received vaccines.

The new government’s decision came as the Czech Republic is facing a surge in COVID-19 infections largely fueled by the highly contagious Omicron variant of the novel coronavirus.

The seven-day infection rate was 950 new cases per 100,000 residents on Tuesday compared to 799 a day earlier.

Despite the record numbers, the number of COVID-19 patients in hospitals dropped to 1,635 on Tuesday with 252 needing intensive care.

Researchers and health experts are hopeful that the Omicron variant, while highly transmissible, is less severe, and poses milder symptoms in infected people, compared with other strains such as the Delta variant.

Elsewhere, in Austria residents are set to be fined if they flout a COVID-19 vaccine mandate the country is aiming to introduce in February for all residents aged 14 and over.

Last month, Austria’s health minister announced that those who flout the vaccine mandate will face fines of up to 3,600 euros (around $4,000).

And in Greece, a vaccination mandate has been imposed on all over-60s. Those who refuse to be vaccinated will be fined by the government, health minister Thanos Plevris said. Fines start this month at 50 euros ($57), followed by a monthly fine of 100 euros ($114).

Plevris said the penalties would be collected through the tax office and used to fund state hospitals.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Austria Introduces COVID-19 Vaccination Lottery, Winners Get €500 In Vouchers

FRIDAY, JAN 21, 2022 - 02:45 AM

The Austrian government announced a new vaccination stimulus package – including a lottery and financial rewards – in a bid to boost the national vaccination rate, The Local reported. The announcement was made at a press conference in Vienna with Federal Chancellor Karl Nehammer (ÖVP), Vice Chancellor Werner Kogler (Greens) and SPÖ leader Pamela Rendi-Wagner ahead of the vote on the mandatory vaccination law (Impfpflicht) in the National Council on Thursday.

“What is there to win in the vaccination lottery? Vouchers!” Chancellor Karl Nehammer told a news conference with the leader of the opposition Social Democrats, Pamela Rendi-Wagner, with whom the measure was negotiated, Reuters reported.

The Chancellor said he wanted there to be a financial reward for those who get vaccinated.


Austria's Chancellor Karl Nehammer departs after attending an European Union Summit at the European Council building in Brussels, early on December 17, 2021

“We have learned from the past and we have seen that a vaccination lottery is the best possible way to set up such a system,” he said.

Plans for the stimulus package include a lottery (Impflotterie) for vouchers worth €500. The scheme will be rolled out in partnership with ORF, Austria’s national public service broadcaster.
The lottery will start on March 15th to coincide with the implementation of the planned compulsory vaccination controls and will apply to people that are already vaccinated, as well as those who decide to get their first jabs.

Nehammer said every tenth vaccinated person in Austria will be in with a chance of winning a €500 gift voucher and participants would receive one lottery ticket for every Covid shot they have had. This means if someone has been vaccinated three times including the booster jab they will receive three entries into the lottery.

The vouchers will be valid for a variety of businesses across Austria, including retail, gastronomy, hotels, cultural and sports facilities, although it is expected online shopping will not be included.

The Federal Government also announced an additional financial packages for municipalities to encourage them to boost the vaccinated rate.

Nehammer provided an example of how the incentive would work and said if a municipality with 3,000 inhabitants reaches the 80 percent vaccination target, it would receive €30,000. For 85 percent it would be €60,000 and for 90 percent the amount would rise to €120,000.

The government has set aside a total of €1.4 billion for the scheme – €1 billion for the lottery and €400 million for the financial incentives for municipalities.

Nehammer described the use of government funds for the vaccination stimulus package as “completely justified”.

Horowitz: The very concerning data from Scotland

OP-ED
DANIEL HOROWITZ
January 21, 2022

“The vaccines are incredibly safe. They protect us against Omicron; they protect us against Delta; they protect us against COVID." Those were the words of fully vaccinated CDC Director Rochelle Walensky while testifying before the Senate Health Committee with two masks on her face on Jan. 11.

Scottish data shows that the COVID-19 age-standardized case rate is highest among the two-dose vaccinated and lowest among unvaccinated! It further shows this trend of negative efficacy for the double-vaccinated persisting for hospitalizations and deaths. Something is very wrong here, and together with other data points, it raises concerning questions about the negative effect of waning antibodies, constant boosting, and the consequences of a leaky vaccine with narrow-spectrum suboptimal antibodies against an ever-evolving virus.

Every Wednesday, Public Health Scotland (PHS) has been publishing a weekly report on COVID data juxtaposed to vaccination rates. Table 14 of this week’s “Public Health Scotland COVID-19 & Winter Statistical Report” lays bare in plain English (and math) a rate of negative efficacy for the vaccine:

As you can see, while the overall Omicron wave seems to be receding in Scotland, age-standardized case rates per 100,000 people were the lowest in the unvaccinated cohort every week for the past four weeks. Thus, it’s not just the fact that the unvaccinated accounted for only 11.5% of cases the past two weeks, but even adjusted for age-stratified vaccination rates (PHS already does the math for you) the unvaccinated had the lowest infection rate out of the four cohorts – especially during the peak of Omicron. Furthermore, we see that even the triple-vaccinated clearly have no efficacy against infection, although they have some degree less negative efficacy than the double-vaccinated.

Here is a linear presentation of the depth of the Omicron wave by vaccination status, where you can see that the unvaccinated had the shallowest wave:

This also coincides with the latest data from the U.K. Health Security Agency of the entire United Kingdom. This data now shows higher rates of infection among the triple-vaccinated in all but the youngest people.



Full stop right here. Any public policy measure – from vaccine passports to discrimination – cannot be justified under the science, even if one’s conscience is OK with apartheid. In fact, clearly this shows that, especially with Omicron, the vaccinated are the super-spreaders. Before we get to hospitalizations and deaths, the notion that the unvaccinated are somehow responsible for the continued spread of this virus is completely contradicted by the data. Some might suggest without evidence that the unvaccinated possibly have a higher rate of prior infection; however, Omicron seems to attack even those who already had previous versions of SARS-CoV-2.

Now onto hospitalizations and deaths. While the vaccines clearly provided some degree of protection for some people for several months against severe illness (while possibly causing even more spread), the Scottish data paints a concerning picture of the long-term consequences of the mass vaccination. People like Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche have been warning that if you mass-vaccinate with a leaky, narrow-spectrum (only recognizes spike protein) vaccine in middle of a raging pandemic, the virus would get more virulent over time.

This concern manifests itself at two time periods when the antibodies are “sub-optimal.” There is a period of a few weeks after the jab when the antibodies are strong enough to bind but not strong enough to neutralize, and then at the back end (estimated at four to six months for the original shot, but likely much shorter for the booster), a period when they wane. The media and public health tyrants like to focus your attention on a snapshot of time, but ignore the totality of circumstances that the shots are creating negative efficacy before and after, while using accounting gimmicks to mask the problem.

Remember how the lockdowns were hailed as a success for a number of countries that initially did well, while Sweden now has the lowest rate of excess mortality in Europe in 2021?



Just as with lockdowns, the mass vaccination needs to be judged after all nine innings of the ballgame.

With that said, let’s take a look at tables 15 and 16 – the acute COVID hospitalization and death rates, respectively:

What is clearly evident both from the hospitalizations and deaths is that the double-vaccinated are now worse off per capita even against critical illness, and that pattern appears to be accelerating. Again, this evidently shows a pattern of negative efficacy even against critical illness over time as the shots wear off, increasingly quickly with Omicron. Why is there no desire to study the source of this negative efficacy and whether the fact that the vaccine is non-sterilizing, wanes quickly with sub-optimal antibodies, is narrow-spectrum, and is increasingly out of synch with the changing virus is going to make the pandemic worse in the long run?

Some will look at the chart and conclude that the boosters are amazing. But first it’s important to recognize that even the boosters don’t stop transmission at all even in the short run, and then, based on the latest hospitalization data, appear to wane just like the original shots.

Relatedly, you will notice a pattern: the unvaccinated and two-dose cohorts always appear worse and the one-shot and three-shot cohorts always appear better. This is where the most important part of the data set comes into play.

You see, all cases during the first 21 days after the first shot are counted in the “unvaccinated” cohort, while the first 14 days after one receives the 3rd shot is counted among the two-dose cohort. See the definitions from Appendix 6 of the report.

Page 1 of 2

Page 2 of 2

We know from numerous studies (see here and here) that people are actually the most vulnerable to COVID during the first few weeks on the upswing of the antibodies, when T cells are likely suppressed. This is why the health departments smartly count them in the unvaccinated pile. Hence, for all these months, all the cases and deaths from those made more vulnerable from the first shot – which is caused by the mass vaccination, not the unvaccinated – are counted against the unvaccinated. Over time, as the shots waned on the back end, the truth became evident. Now they are starting the cycle all over again by making the two-dose group look even worse than they are by dumping all of the cases caused by the initial take-up from the third dose into the cohort of double-vaccinated.

It’s the ultimate pandemic Ponzi scheme. Just wait another two months and see what the fourth-shot group looks like relative to the triple-dosers, as the immediate vaccination causes an even greater spike in cases. In other words, you have to look in totality where we are headed rather than manipulating a snapshot of time.

What this report shows is that just 18.5% of the hospitalizations in Scotland were unvaccinated, but even that number includes numerous people within 21 days of the first shot, which is clearly a very vulnerable time. It’s akin to telling someone in a foxhole to run across the field of fire to get to a bunker that might be safer, but he runs an even higher risk of getting cut down before reaching the bunker. Then, after a few hours, the bunker will get overrun by the enemy and you have to run through a new field of fire to get to the next bunker.

Likewise, when a therapeutic lowers symptom severity through immune suppression, it’s a flash in the pan. Eventually, that mechanism of action will come back to bite you in the proverbial arm. And this is even before we get to the long-term concern that multiple shots will create permanent immune suppression by creating original antigenic sin, a position now articulated by the European Medicines Agency and top Israeli immunologists.

Just how prominent is the infection rate within the first 14-21 days of getting the shot, thereby completely distorting the epidemiological data and ultimate perception of efficacy of the shots? Although we don’t have data from the U.K. or U.S. on the timing of infection relative to vaccination period, Alberta, Canada evidently publishes some of that data. According to U.K. researcher Joel Smalley, who screenshotted the chart from the Alberta government’s website before it was taken down, roughly 40% of cases, 47.6% of hospitalizations, and 56% of deaths among the vaccinated occurred within 14 days of vaccination! Here is the graphical presentation that was on the website, according to Smalley. The top chart represents cases, the middle is hospitalizations, and the bottom is deaths:

Alberta, like many governments, counts the first 14 days as unvaccinated. In Scotland, they are counting the first 21 days after the first dose as unvaccinated and 14 days following subsequent doses in the cohort of the previous numbered dose. Obviously, we can’t mix the Alberta time-based data with the overall Scottish data, but common sense dictates that a bunch of cases from the immune suppression period of the initial vaccination are being blamed on the unvaccinated, and the perception of the booster shots is also likely being ameliorated at the expense of the double-jabbed cohort. For example, in Alberta, it appears that roughly 60% of the hospitalizations in the vaxxed cohort got COVID within 21 days of the shot, which in Scotland, would all be counted as unvaccinated cases. Thus, they deliberately chose the cutoff date for designation of vax status after the inflection point where they see the most COVID cases post-vax!

This deep dive into the data from Scotland should serve as a Rosetta stone for the macro observations we have seen from day one. We are seeing the most vaccinated nations and states being hammered with more cases than ever in a way that defies anything we should expect to see from a safe and effective vaccine. Here are just a few of the many examples:










Dr. Fauci recently told Bloomberg news that “there are some inherent ‘non-believers’ that no matter what you say, they give you a real problem.” He’s right. It takes a true religious level of adherence – like a believer – to continue supporting his narrative, despite the plain facts before our every eyes.

As America Enters Year Three of COVID, The Biden Regime Struggles to Reprogram Its Pandemic-Crazed Base - Revolver News

As America Enters Year Three of COVID, The Biden Regime Struggles to Reprogram Its Pandemic-Crazed Base

January 20, 2022 (2d ago)

Readers of Revolver have known the truth about Covid-19 for well over a year now. The truth, reduced to a few key and essential facts, is as follows:

• Covid-19 is, overall, not that deadly, and getting less deadly all the time.
• Most of those who die of Covid are already unwell, often extremely unwell.
• Most interventions to contain Covid, in particular lockdowns and ubiquitous masking, don’t work.
• Children are nearly immune to Covid and do very little to spread it.
• In terms of effect on America’s prosperity, stability, health, and mental well-being, the “cures” for Covid have been far more harmful than the disease itself.

For the past year, stating these facts could get a person banned from Facebook or shut down on YouTube and Twitter.

But now, abruptly, the Biden Administration and its mouthpieces are trying to make this the conventional wisdom. Sensing political calamity if it can’t get the country to move past Covid, what might be called the “West Wing” branch of progressivism desperately wants to adjust narratives and calm their base down, so that life (and the economy) can go back to normal.

Suddenly, all over the place, the old stalwarts of Covid hysteria are saying things that mere weeks ago constituted “misinformation” you could get censored for uttering. Shortly before Christmas, CNN medical analyst Leana Wen said something that was known before even the first Covid lockdowns 22 months ago: The loose-fitting cloth masks most people wear when forced don’t really do anything.

Also at CNN, host Jake Tapper decided that now is the perfect time to acknowledge that when hospitals fill up with “Covid” cases, a very large percentage are merely incidental infections.

A year and a half ago, Anthony Fauci made TV appearances warning of “serious consequences” if the U.S. didn’t remain in lockdown mode. Now, just after the new year, Anthony Fauci himself finally acknowledged the important difference between children being hospitalized for Covid versus the much much greater number hospitalized with Covid.

And then, most damning of all, there is CDC director Rochelle Walensky, who has done a tour of TV news in the past few days to admit that, yes, the vast majority of Covid deaths are people with a snarl of comorbidities that make them far more vulnerable than the average person. Of course, this being 2022, Wolensky also had to immediately apologize:

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky apologized to disability advocates after calling it “encouraging” that most vaccinated individuals who have died from COVID-19 “were unwell to begin with,” but they say the CDC needs to do more.

Walensky drew ire from many with disabilities after an appearance earlier this month on ABC’s “Good Morning America” where she discussed a new study looking at the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines.

“The overwhelming number of deaths, over 75%, occurred in people who had at least four comorbidities, so really these are people who were unwell to begin with, and yes, really encouraging news in the context of omicron,” Walensky said during the appearance. “We’re really encouraged by these results.”
…
Walensky met with representatives from The Arc, the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, the American Association of People with Disabilities and seven other organizations Friday afternoon to apologize for what the CDC described as a “hurtful, yet unintentional, statement pertaining to COVID-19 deaths and comorbidities.”

It’s not just TV rhetoric, either. Walensky’s CDC recently changed its quarantine guidance to say that individuals who test positive for Covid-19 should isolate for just five days instead of ten.

On January 5, Time published epidemiologist Steven Phillips’ prediction (or rather, plea) that “2022 Is The Year We Learn To Live With COVID-19.” In the article, Phillips all but begs his readers, mostly white liberals, to accept that they are never going to stamp out Covid, and must let themselves live in a world where Covid is just another disease that people get rather than an exceptional threat that everyone’s lives must revolve around.

Hopes of eliminating COVID-19 in the U.S. through vaccine-generated herd immunity are now dashed. Instead, with the rapid spread of the highly infectious Omicron variant, we need to focus on 2022 as the year that in the U.S. will usher in a new era of “living with the virus.”

In epidemiology terms this means transitioning from pandemicity to endemicity, as the virus moves from its phase of widespread devastation to episodic local flare-ups and settles into long-term cohabitation with its human host. [Time]

Phillips isn’t quite telling the truth. It isn’t the Omicron variant that dashed the hopes of eliminating Covid-19. Those hopes were dashed all the way back in March 2020, when the virus spread despite all containment measures, and developed a general presence in the American population. From that moment, every stunt to “stop” Covid has been so much theater and pointless drama.

In the UK, senior medical leaders are begging the public to make the same transition. Clive Dix, the former head of Britain’s vaccine task force, says the government should abandon mass vaccination efforts after its current booster campaign wraps up:

With health chiefs and senior Tories also lobbying for a post-pandemic plan for a straining NHS, Dr Clive Dix called for a major rethink of the UK’s Covid strategy, in effect reversing the approach of the past two years and returning to a “new normality”.

“We need to analyse whether we use the current booster campaign to ensure the vulnerable are protected, if this is seen to be necessary,” he said. “Mass population-based vaccination in the UK should now end.”

He said ministers should urgently back research into Covid immunity beyond antibodies to include B-cells and T-cells (white blood cells). This could help create vaccines for vulnerable people specific to Covid variants, he said, adding: “We now need to manage disease, not virus spread. So stopping progression to severe disease in vulnerable groups is the future objective.” [The Guardian]

The burning question now is: Will this work? Last May, Revolver wrote about the initial abortive efforts of the Biden Administration and its allies to scale back the cult of the mask as cases declined and vaccination spread:

Whatever its political shortcomings, the Biden administration wants the country reopened and things (mostly) back to normal so they can reap the political dividends of undoing the calamitous lockdowns that liberal ideology created in the first place.

There’s just one problem: The regime’s propaganda was too effective. Millions of loyal cattle are too traumatized to go back to their old way of life. In a recent poll conducted by The Hill, forty-two percent of registered voters and a majority of Democrats said that, regardless of advice from the CDC or other health officials, everybody should still wear masks outdoors no matter what.
…
What is happening right now with masks isn’t science. It’s a new cult, created through a mix of political pressure and old-fashioned terror. This cult, created almost by accident, is now too entrenched and too powerful to be turned off by the people who created it.

As it was then, so it remains now. There is a small rational faction desperately trying to control the lumbering beast of perpetual progressive panic, and right now, they are losing. The Biden Administration, for instance, has explicitly taken the position that schools should be open and offering in-person classes.

“The president’s been very clear, as we have been clear: We are on the side of schools being open,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday.

It’s good that Biden wants schools open, because schools should be open. Children are at statistically near-zero risk from Covid, and they do almost nothing to spread it either. Even in the early days of coronavirus, countries like Denmark and Sweden kept schools open without seeing the feared explosion in disease.

Several states like South Dakota have had in-person classes since the start of the 2020-21 school year without doing noticeably worse than other states. The Biden Administration, no doubt motivated by fear of a political waning next November, finally considered actual science and common sense.

But there is something else going on here, something that says a lot about the operation of the Globalist American Empire and how it is headed toward a meltdown.

For a good moderate citizen who just wants to “listen to the experts,” life is more bewildering by the day. The experts and “authoritative sources” keep changing their minds on things. “Misinformation” long ago stopped being false information, or even heretical information that defied official narratives. Now, “misinformation” is simply anything that contradicts the specific emphasis from official sources at this very moment. One can spread “misinformation” by believing the official narrative just a couple weeks too long, or a couple weeks too early. Practically any statement from public health officials in the first three months of 2020 would be misinformation if repeated today.

In big picture terms, then, that means the crusade against misinformation is not a tool designed to enforce belief in any particular piece of information, or “the truth” write large. Instead, it is designed to enforce loyalty to certain sources of information. The only way to be entirely safe from the misinformation label is to mindlessly reaffirm the latest declarations from a handful of official and quasi-official outlets. The push to demonize misinformation is therefore a push to consolidate all narrative control in the hands of a few regime-approved (and regime-compliant) institutions.

Fascinatingly, though, this effort might be failing, simply because progressives stoked the furnace of Covid hysteria too much, and now the panic has spread out of their control. Because, try as it might to change narratives, the Biden Administration can’t get progressives to play along.

This month several high schools in Portland swerved back to online-only learning after teachers began to absent themselves in droves. Milwaukee schools went back into distance learning as well. In Chicago, the city’s unionized public school teachers simply canceled a week of classes after deciding that it was “too dangerous” for them to show up and do their jobs. The teachers only agreed to show up and work once again after the district agreed to even more onerous testing requirements in order to detect every school child with the slightest trace of virus in their system.

Colleges are if anything more deranged in response to even less risk. In the Ivy League, Yale and Princeton are still embracing totalitarianism as their preferred response to even the most mild of Covid threats:

This week Yale sent out an email laying out requirements for returning students. According to the Yale Daily News, there will be a campus-wide quarantine until Feb. 7, which may be extended. Furthermore, students “may not visit New Haven businesses or eat at local restaurants (even outdoors) except for curbside pickup.”

Meanwhile, in Princeton, the university issued this announcement on Dec. 27: “Beginning January 8 through mid-February, all undergraduate students who have returned to campus will not be permitted to travel outside of Mercer County or Plainsboro Township for personal reasons, except in extraordinary circumstances. … We’ll revisit and, if possible, revise this travel restriction by February 15.”
…
If Princeton or Yale took the position that the current state of Covid is so potentially dangerous that the entire university must be shut down, that would at least be consistent (and, in March 2020, I agreed with that view). But these policies do not and indeed cannot insulate these universities from the outside world. The omicron strain is going to spread at Princeton and Yale regardless of whether students gather at Hoagie Haven or Modern Apizza.

The selectivity is stunning. The Princeton policy restricts the travel of undergraduates, but what of the other people affiliated with the university, such as faculty, staff or contractors? The Yale policy prevents students from patronizing local New Haven businesses, but what if a professor wants to drive up to Cambridge?

The assumption seems to be that the virus spreads in particular ways that can be controlled by a university with virtually no enforcement apparatus. It is all but impossible to imagine an enforcement of these rules that is in any way universal and fair. [Bloomberg]

Meanwhile, the progressive rank and file, the “NPCs” who once reliably adopted every new firmware upgrade without question or complaint, are suddenly rebelling against the order to take Covid less seriously.



In California, professional nurses have erupted at the suggestion that those with asymptomatic Covid cases should probably just keep working, instead of taking two weeks off over an infection they wouldn’t even notice without a constant churn of testing.

In other words, for now, the flailing reprogamming effort is failing. The Biden Administration wants its rank-and-file followers in public schools, colleges, and hospitals to calm down. Instead they remain as paranoid as ever. It is entirely possible that this will continue for all of 2022, or even longer. Covid and its variants aren’t going away. To the extent they were ever effective at all, vaccines appear to lose their potency with every new booster campaign. The virus remains as mild for most people as ever, but constant testing means that even the healthiest progressives have worked themselves into a permanent state of fear and paranoia.

This has fascinating ramifications for leftism itself. Through Mass Formation Psychosis, the ruling class left seems to have finally memed its true believers into a pattern that it can’t talk them out of. For two years, they sowed panic by promoting the cult of the mask, the cult of the lockdown, and the cult of the vaccine. Now, they can’t suppress the cults they have created. Similarly, they ignited a “racial reckoning” in 2020 and are now powerless to stop the frenzy of murder and crime that this “reckoning” unleashed in every major city.

The Globalist American Empire is losing control of its own followers. And if it can’t control them, how much longer can it hope to control you?
