REPORT: Mask Mandates Causing Over 350% Surge In Childhood Speech Delays.
Government mask mandates implemented amidst the COVID-19 appear to be causing speech delays in young children.
thenationalpulse.com
Mask mandates implemented by the government amidst the COVID-19 appear to be causing speech delays in young children.
The regulations, which are still in effect in Democrat-led cities including Washington D.C. and New York City, have had adverse effects on the development of speaking abilities in children and babies.
“This has been a very challenging year,” emphasized Jaclyn Theek, a clinic director and speech-language pathologist at the Speech and Learning Institute in North Palm Beach, Florida.
The clinic experienced a 364 percent increase in patients who were babies and toddlers amidst the pandemic. Prior to the onset of COVID-19, only 5 percent of the clinic’s patients were in the age group, while today it stands at 20 percent.
“There’s no research out there yet saying that this could be causing speech and language delays. But, most definitely, I’m sure it’s a factor,” Theek said. “It’s very important that kids do see your face to learn, so they’re watching your mouth.”
Similarly, many parents interviewed by WPBF 25 News felt the irregular speech patterns were “COVID-delayed.” A parent interviewed by the outlet attributed the delays to “social isolation and everyone wearing masks”:
Gregg Santos brings his son, Diego, to speech therapy twice a week.
“He would just ramble, baby ramble,” Santos said. “Certain words that are key did not flow, so that began to raise a red flag.”
Santos said his son was born perfectly healthy at the start of a pandemic.
“We’d go out and walk around the neighborhood, and there would be no one there…everyone just stayed in,” Santos said.
Santos said he believes social isolation and everyone wearing masks lead to Diego’s speech delays.
“It bothers me,” Santos said. “It bothers me a lot.”
“It definitely makes a difference when the world you are growing up in, you can’t interact with people and their face. That’s super important to babies,” cautioned another parent.

Judge Blocks Biden's Federal Worker Vaccine Mandate, Blasts: 'The President’s Authority is NOT That Broad'.
A U.S. District Judge ruled against the Biden White House's vaccine mandate for federal employees.
thenationalpulse.com
AU.S. District Judge has enjoined the Biden White House’s vaccine mandate for federal employees, in yet another rebuke of the Biden presidency and COVID-related diktats. The news comes just days after the Supreme Court stayed the regime’s use of OSHA to coerce millions of Americans to get the decreasingly effective injections.
Judge Jeffrey Vincent Brown of the Texas Southern District ruled for the plaintiffs in the case Feds for Medical Freedom v. Joseph R. Biden in a January 21st decision. Feds for Medical Freedom describes itself as a grassroots coalition comprised of thousands of public employees which formed in opposition to draconian COVID-19 health mandates.
The ruling will enjoin an Executive Order enacted by President Biden, which stipulated that all federal government contractors, subcontractors, and employees must receive COVID-19 shots.
“The first, Executive Order 14042, is already the subject of a nationwide injunction. Because that injunction protects the plaintiffs from imminent harm, the court declines to enjoin the first order. The second, Executive Order 14043, amounts to a presidential mandate that all federal employees consent to vaccination against COVID-19 or lose their jobs. Because the President’s authority is not that broad, the court will enjoin the second order’s enforcement,” explains the opinion.
“Because injunctive relief is an extraordinary tool to be wielded sparingly, the court should be convinced the plaintiffs face irreparable harm before awarding it,” reasons the court before asserting “the court is so convinced.”
The case is “about whether the President can, with the stroke of a pen and without the input of Congress, require millions of federal employees to undergo a medical procedure as a condition of their employment,” reasoned Judge Brown. “That, under the current state of the law as just recently expressed by the Supreme Court, is a bridge too far,” the opinion continues.
The plaintiff’s arguments fell into two categories: “(1) that the President’s action was ultra vires as there is no statute authorizing him to issue the mandate and the inherent authority he enjoys under Article II is not sufficient, and (2) that the agencies’ implementation of his order violates the Administrative Procedures Act (APA).”
Appearing to side with Feds for Medical Freedom’s rationale, Judge Brown’s opinion contends that the attempted vaccine mandate “exceeds” the limits of presidential power:
“Regardless of what the conventional wisdom may be concerning vaccination, no legal remedy adequately protects the liberty interests of employees who must choose between violating a mandate of doubtful validity or consenting to an unwanted medical procedure that cannot be undone,” notes Judge Brown.

Double-Jabbed Australian Woman Goes Nuclear Over Mandatory Third Shot – It’s Not Just Anti-Vaxxers Now [VIDEO]
F You!!! I'm done!!!
BY RED VOICE MEDIA
JANUARY 19, 2022
Speaking at a media conference today, Victorian premier Dan Andrews revealed to the Australian people that the national cabinet had been debating making the COVID-19 booster shot mandatory to be labeled “fully vaccinated” in the sovereign country.
During his remarks, Andrews stated, “This is not an option, not an add-on, not ‘a good thing to have.’ I think we’re close to a change in policy that will simply reflect the fact that in order to be fully protected, you need three doses, not two plus an optional extra, to in fact be fully vaccinated. You need three.
“We can all be proud, as a Victorian community, that 93 per cent-plus of us have had two doses. We need to make sure the number of those with a third dose grows every day. It’s a common-sense thing. We need to make it easier for people to get that third dose, and I think Victorians will absolutely do that.”
While Andrews discussed the booster becoming mandatory and how people will most likely conform, one of those citizens, who already received both jabs, decided to upload a video of her own. And unlike his comments, the woman wasn’t eager to get yet another jab when the first two have shown to not stop the spread or one from contracting it.
Rumble video 1:01 min
Stating that she wanted nothing more than to support her family and live her life, the woman spiraled into a profanity-filled speech about the government overreach, ending it with, “F**K You!”

Australian Authorities Treat Average Citizens Even Worse Than They Did Novak Djokovic
BY: CARINA BENTON
JANUARY 21, 2022
Tennis star Novak Djokovic naively expected Australia to respect his freedom of choice when it has spent two years savaging its own people.
CARINA BENTON
Idon’t want to make light of the atrocious way the world’s number-one ranked tennis player Novak Djokovic was tormented by Australian authorities over his choice to not get the Covid jab, nor the stress and disappointment that his detention and subsequent deportation must have caused. However, if Djokovic were to put a positive spin on the whole debacle, he might conclude that at least he got to leave.
The same cannot be said for ordinary Australians who have refused the jab and are as a result being viciously targeted and discriminated against by federal and state governments and a rabid, rottweiler press. Frankly, the situation for vaccinated Australians is scarcely better.
As Rebel News’ Avi Yemini explains, there is a lot of confusion about the circumstances of Djokovic’s eventual deportation, not the least among Australians who, bizarrely, reportedly overwhelmingly support the decision to kick him out of the country.
Back in November 2021, Djokovic was issued a temporary activity visa to play in the Australian Open, held in January. Despite mixed messaging from Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt to Tennis Australia, Djokovic received in December a letter from Tennis Australia’s chief medical officer stating that he had been granted a “medical exemption from COVID vaccination” on the grounds that he had recently recovered from the disease. He was then issued an online confirmation via the Australian Travel Declaration app that he had been granted “quarantine-free arrival into Australia.”
Upon arrival on January 5, Djokovic was detained, interrogated by Australian Border Force officials, informed that his visa was going to be canceled, and then sent off to an immigration detention facility. His lawyers appealed the cancellation, and on January 10 the Federal Circuit Court found the visa had been unreasonably canceled and ordered Djokovic’s release from detention.
Apparently that wasn’t good enough for Federal Immigration Minister Alex Hawke, who then used his discretionary powers to unilaterally cancel Djokovic’s visa on “health and good order grounds,” a decision the full bench of the Federal Court subsequently upheld as lawful, while declining to address the merits of the decision.
Despite the media noise regarding Djokovic’s failure to disclose a recent trip to Spain on his travel entry form, the Australian government’s real beef with Djokovic, as revealed in court documents, was his potential to “foster anti-vaccination sentiment” and to presumably lure others down the dangerous path of questioning government edicts, thinking independently, and making their own health choices.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić accused Australian authorities of humiliating themselves with their persecution of Djokovic. The truth is, the country’s political leaders and the public health grifters who advise them have been tormenting Australian citizens for two years. The lockdowns, the closure of Australia’s external border followed by internal state border closures, and now the despicable vax mandates have savaged personal liberty. Their effects have no rival in the 122-year history of the Commonwealth.
Egregious Examples of Tormenting Australians
Australia’s public health tyranny has profoundly affected Australians from all walks of life, both vaccinated and unvaccinated. There is a litany of appalling stories of Australians being barred from returning to their families and homes, and from visiting sick and dying loved ones, including infants, amidst internal border closures.
Late last year, a Melbourne couple, both fully vaccinated, wanted to enter the state of Western Australia to bring home the body of their 20-year-old son who had just committed suicide.
They were told they would need to complete a 14-day hotel quarantine upon arrival. With children at home, this was not viable. In a similar set of circumstances, a Perth couple who flew to Sydney after learning that their daughter had committed suicide was left stranded with her remains for two weeks after Western Australia abruptly closed its borders to returning residents.
When Darwin resident Hayley Hodgson was found by authorities to be a close contact of a Covid- infected friend, she was visited at home by police and hauled off to a Northern Territory internment camp for 14 days, despite testing negative on three occasions throughout her stay.
Northern Territory’s totally unhinged Chief Minister Michael Gunner, who recently ranted that “if you are anti-mandate, you are absolutely anti-vax,” regardless of your vaccination status, kicked off 2022 by prohibiting unvaccinated people 16 and older from leaving home even for the purposes of work or exercise.
Australia’s abandonment of its once-prized democratic principles has cast a shadow over my own circumstances. Four days into the new year, my father very unexpectedly passed away after a sudden heart attack. The grieving has been exacerbated by the pang of separation; I haven’t been able to see my family since before the pandemic due to a mixed basket of nuttiness: border closures, quarantine rules, and now vax mandates for Australian citizens traveling to and from the country.
My father spent decades patriotically serving his country: he was a retired army colonel, a highly decorated soldier and Vietnam veteran, a United Nations peacekeeper, and a senior economic advisor and speechwriter to successive prime ministers. Had someone told him back then that in 2022 his daughter would be indefinitely prevented from freely reentering her country of birth to attend his funeral due to government-imposed vax mandates, he would have been shocked into oblivion.
Australian Left Pretends They Live in a Democracy
When the U.S. media started paying attention to what was unfolding in Australia and asking pertinent questions, and politicians like Florida Gov. Ron de Santis accused the country of going off the rails, left-wingers like the Guardian Australia’s Van Badham were hastily deployed and op-eds dispatched to quell the rumblings of concern and alarm. A supercilious Badham insisted that democracy is fine, and mocked Americans for lapping up a “disturbing myth” fostered on the American right and spread by anti-vaxxers and far-right agitators in the “dark corners of the internet.”
Australian journalist Josh Szeps tried a similar tactic in a recent interview with Joe Rogan. He concocted a moronic metaphor to justify labeling journalist Tim Pool, of all people, an alt-right extremist for his condemnation of Australia’s quarantine camps, only to be smacked down, gently but firmly by Rogan, who was having none of it.
Americans are right to be alarmed at what’s been unfolding in Australia. But they shouldn’t be so busy rubbernecking that road wreck that they miss the hazard in their own lane. As it stands today, one cannot function in Democrat-run cities like Seattle, San Francisco, New York, and even the nation’s capital without showing your medical papers. Hawaii requires U.S. citizens visiting from out of state to provide proof of vaccination or a negative test result, and the Biden administration keeps toying with Americans over the possibility of vaccination requirements for domestic air travel.
Draconian policies under the guise of a public health emergency are a global scourge; in Australia you get a glimpse of the potential for these totalitarian trends to spiral out of control. Authorities wanted to use Djokovic as a scapegoat in order to score cheap political points among a beleaguered and disoriented population; what they’ve wound up with instead is a sacrificial lamb.
The tennis superstar was pilloried and banished for refusing to bow to medical tyranny. His political persecution will prove a powerful symbol for Australians whose basic freedoms are being egregiously impeded by the overbearing, overreaching arm of a Covid cult police state.

The CDC Has Destroyed Public Trust By Pushing Obvious Falsehoods
We should acknowledge the fears of Americans on the left and seek to bridge the chasm that the president is determined to widen.

The CDC Has Destroyed Public Trust By Pushing Obvious Falsehoods
BY: DOUG BADGER
JANUARY 21, 2022
Tens of millions of Americans who have relied on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s advice on dealing with Covid-19 are now adrift. Maggie Koerth, a senior science writer for FiveThirtyEight, charges that the agency “mired in political influence” has “failed to address many of the most relevant questions for day-to-day decision-making.”
This lack of leadership has consequences, Koerth observes. Having lost faith in the CDC’s ever-changing advice, many who previously heeded its counsel are now seeking wisdom “in the dark alleys of the internet, hoping the information we’re getting is the real deal and not just another cheap Rolex.”
Koerth is among those who have followed — or tried to follow — CDC’s shifting and often poorly evidenced guidance. They wore gloves when CDC told them to wear gloves, ditched the gloves and donned cloth masks when told they warded off viruses, cleansed their food with Clorox wipes and their hands with Purell, locked themselves and their families in their homes, got “fully vaccinated” with two jabs, and then a third when told that two weren’t enough, strapped masks on their two-year-olds, and got their kids vaxxed, double-vaxxed, and triple-vaxxed.
Then came Omicron.
Communities with shuttered schools, mask mandates, and vaccine passports had an explosion of cases. In New York and Los Angeles, Paris and Rome, mask wearers, the boosted, and those who foreswore handshakes and hugs got infected. The spike in cases dwarfed previous highs, and fears of overcrowded hospitals recurred.
Dr. Anthony Fauci announced that the variant “will ultimately find just about everybody.”
President Biden conceded that “both vaccinated and unvaccinated people are testing positive.”
Undeterred by those sobering facts, the president once again called it a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” The unvaccinated “are crowding our hospitals, leaving little room for anyone else who might have a heart attack or an injury in an automobile accident or any injury at all,” he alleged.
Biden’s Claims Are Not Supported by Data
As with the president’s previous pandemic pronouncements, this one is unsupported by the data.
First, hospitals routinely test everyone they admit for Covid-19. According to Health and Human Services, just over 22 percent of inpatient beds were “in use for COVID-19” on January 19. That doesn’t mean that 22 percent of inpatients occupied those beds because they tested positive for Covid. Many were receiving treatment for conditions unrelated to Covid.
Second, the administration does not keep track of how many hospitalized patients with positive Covid tests are vaccinated. Other countries do. Their data do not support the president’s indictment of the unvaccinated.
Health authorities in the United Kingdom report that, as of December 29, two-thirds of hospital patients who tested positive for the Omicron variant were either vaccinated (43.2 percent) or boosted (23.2 percent). Only one-fourth were unvaccinated.
The president’s fact-free declaration that unvaccinated people are denying medical care to critically ill patients fits a broader pattern. CDC has made many dubious pronouncements on everything from boosters and cloth masks to natural immunity and the masking of preschoolers.
Omicron has dealt a serious – and perhaps fatal — blow to the administration’s credibility. Those who had placed their faith in it, like Koerth, are seeking out other sources for advice and finding themselves “confused, frustrated and angry.”
Our Divisive President
But there is another, more pernicious side to the president’s rhetoric: its insistence that his political opponents are responsible for the pandemic. This divisiveness and the scars created by such language will linger long after the pandemic has run its course.
While we can’t control the biological path of the pandemic, we can begin to address its cultural and political effects. Those who have called attention to the chasm between the government’s Covid prescriptions and the evidence behind them should seek to heal the divisiveness the president is inciting.
Too often, we dismiss the tens of millions of Americans who have scrupulously followed the government’s flawed guidance as engaging in theater, ritual, and virtue-signaling. We tend to minimize their genuine fear for themselves, their parents, and their children. They have made a not-irrational decision to rely on the government’s advice to keep them safe. Omicron has shaken their faith in that advice.
Both those long dubious of the government’s pandemic advice and those who have relied on it have more in common today than at any point since the pandemic’s earliest days. Both now harbor a healthy skepticism of the administration’s bromides.
We should acknowledge the fears and frustrations of Americans on the far side of the cultural divide, tone down our rhetoric about theater and virtue-signaling, and seek to bridge the cultural and political chasm that the president seems determined to widen and perpetuate.

Moderna Shot Can Cause Hepatitis
A case report involving a 47-year-old, previously healthy man demonstrates conclusive evidence that COVID-19 shots may trigger vaccine-induced immune-mediated hepatitis
by Dr. Joseph Mercola
January 21, 2022
Millions of people continue to get COVID-19 injections without being informed of their true risks, hepatitis being among them. Hepatitis, which is inflammation of the liver, is most often caused by a virus; however, there are also autoimmune and immune-mediated forms.
As case reports of vaccine-induced immune-mediated hepatitis began to pop up following COVID-19 jabs, researchers took notice, but wondered if they were simply coincidence. In an ordinary year, there are three cases of autoimmune hepatitis out of every 100,000 people per year.
“[A]s the cohort of vaccinated individuals against COVID-19 increases, the previously reported cases could not exclude a coincidental development of autoimmune hepatitis,” researchers wrote in a letter to the editor in the Journal of Hepatology.1
A case report involving a 47-year-old, previously healthy man changed their minds, however, demonstrating conclusive evidence that COVID-19 shots may trigger hepatitis. “Immune-mediated hepatitis with the Moderna vaccine,” they wrote, “[is] no longer a coincidence but confirmed.”2
Healthy Man Develops Hepatitis After Moderna Shot
The man featured in the case report received his first Moderna COVID-19 shot April 26, 2021. Three days later he developed malaise and jaundice, a yellowing of the skin that can occur if your liver isn’t processing red blood cells efficiently; it’s a hallmark of hepatitis.
The man had had his liver function tested four years earlier, with tests coming back normal, and had no history of acetaminophen usage, which can cause liver damage, and only minimal alcohol usage. Yet, three days after the shot, liver tests showed concerning results:3
By the end of June, the man’s jaundice and liver function tests improved, but July 6, 2021, he received a second dose of the Moderna shot. Within days, the jaundice returned and liver function tests declined. “The pattern of injury on histology was consistent with acute hepatitis, with features of autoimmune hepatitis or possible drug-induced liver injury (DILI), triggering an autoimmune-like hepatitis,” the researchers explained, adding:4
Multiple Cases of Hepatitis Reported After Shots
The Journal of Hepatology paper noted that seven additional cases of suspected immune-mediated hepatitis have been reported following COVID-19 shots, including both Pfizer’s and Moderna’s.
They hope to raise awareness so that vaccination centers will routinely check for signs of immune-mediated hepatitis prior to administering second doses and state, “Long-term follow up of identified individuals will be essential in determining the prognosis of this immune-mediated liver injury.”5
In a separate letter to the editor, published in the Journal of Hepatology in June 2021, researchers again raised concerns that COVID-19 shots could cause hepatitis. In this case, a 56-year-old woman developed severe autoimmune hepatitis following her first dose of Moderna’s COVID-19 shot.6
Prior to this, in April 2021, researchers also described a case of autoimmune hepatitis that developed after a COVID-19 shot, this time in a 35-year-old woman who was three months postpartum. In autoimmune hepatitis, the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the liver, causing inflammation and damage, and it’s possible the shot triggered the autoimmunity via spike-directed antibodies:7
Is Molecular Mimicry to Blame?
Molecular mimicry may be the reason why mRNA COVID-19 injections are causing autoimmune conditions.8 It occurs when similarities between different antigens confuse the immune system.
“Indeed, antibodies against the spike protein S1 of SARS-CoV-2 had a high affinity against some human tissue proteins,” researchers wrote in the Journal of Autoimmunity.9 “As vaccine mRNA codes the same viral protein, they can trigger autoimmune diseases in predisposed patients.” The team also reported a case of severe autoimmune hepatitis that developed two weeks after a 65-year-old woman received her first dose of Moderna’s COVID-19 shot.
Extensive testing was performed to rule out other causes of liver disease. This, along with the timing of the liver damage in relation to the shot and the fact that it resolved after treatment, “make it very likely that AIH [autoimmune hepatitis] was triggered by COVID-19 vaccination,” they wrote. They, too, suggested that only long-term follow-up would reveal the true extent of hepatitis risk following the injections, noting:10
mRNA COVID Shots May Increase Autoimmune Diseases
Reports continue to increase of autoimmune diseases, including Guillain-Barré syndrome and primary biliary cholangitis, which destroys the bile ducts, occurring following COVID-19 injections.11 In another example of vaccine-induced autoimmunity, cases of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) that developed days after COVID-19 injection have also been reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).12
“It is speculated that SARS-CoV-2 can disturb self-tolerance and trigger autoimmune responses through cross-reactivity with host cells and that the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines may trigger the same response,” researchers from Ireland explained.13
They also reported the cause of autoimmune hepatitis that developed after a COVID-19 injection in a 71-year-old woman with no risk factors for autoimmune disease. She noticed jaundice four days after the shot and had “markedly abnormal” liver function tests. The researchers raised the possibility that this is a case of vaccine-related drug-induced liver injury and, like the other teams that reported similar cases, noted:14
Facial Paralysis Is Another Little-Known Shot Risk
During phase 3 clinical trials of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, more cases of facial paralysis occurred in the vaccine groups (7 of 35,654) compared to the placebo group (1 of 35,611), leading the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to recommend monitoring vaccine recipients for facial paralysis, sometimes referred to as Bell’s palsy when it has no known cause.15
In March 2021, out of 133,883 adverse drug reactions reported following mRNA COVID-19 shots reported to the World Health Organization’s pharmacovigilance database, VigiBase, researchers identified 844 facial paralysis-related events, including (some of the cases reported multiple adverse events):
- 683 cases of facial paralysis
- 168 cases of facial paresis
- 25 cases of facial spasms
- 13 cases of facial nerve disorders
A different case report published in Brain, Behavior & Immunity Health described a 57-year-old woman with a history of Bell’s palsy, who developed the condition less than 36 hours after receiving her second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.17
Her symptoms, including facial droop, got worse over the next 72 hours, and the case was significant enough that the researchers, with Adventist Health White Memorial in Los Angeles, suggested further investigation may be warranted:18
Health Effects of COVID-19 Shots Remain Unknown
Despite assurances of safety from health officials, it’s unknown at this time what the long-term effects of COVID-19 shots will be. Spike proteins, however, can circulate in your body after infection or injection, causing damage to cells, tissues and organs. “Spike protein is a deadly protein,” Dr. Peter McCullough, an internist, cardiologist and trained epidemiologist, said in a video on Rumble.19
The World Council for Health (WCH), a worldwide coalition of health-focused organizations and civil society groups that seek to broaden public health knowledge, has released a spike protein detox guide,20 which provides straightforward steps you can take to potentially lessen the effects of toxic spike protein, whether you’ve had COVID-19 or gotten a COVID-19 shot.
The following 10 compounds are the “essentials” when it comes to spike protein detox. This is a good place to begin as you work out a more comprehensive health strategy:21
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin C
- NAC
- Ivermectin
- Nigella seed
- Quercetin
- Zinc
- Magnesium
- Curcumin

German Government “Concerned” About Massive Anti-COVID Restriction Protests
Never before in history have demonstrations been so widespread.

https://summit.news/2022/01/21/germ...out-massive-anti-covid-restriction-protests/#
The German government is seriously “concerned” over the sheer number of protests against COVID restrictions in recent weeks, which are the most widespread in the country’s history.
Influential German broadsheet Die Welt reveals that on the same day, protests took place in over 1,000 locations across the country.
“The government is concerned about the decentralized actions,” reports the newspaper, with one source labeling the “immensity” of the demonstrations “depressing.”
“Never before in the history of the Federal Republic have there been demonstrations that are more widespread than in the last few weeks,” states the report, with the government counting 1,046 separate protests involving around 188,000 participants.
Instead of describing such developments as “depressing,” you’d think authorities in Germany would maybe considering listening to the will of their people.
A scandal in Hamburg where the Mayor falsely claimed that the unvaccinated represented 95% of COVID cases didn’t do anything to restore trust.
A Senate investigation reported the actual number to be 14.3%.
Germany is still pushing ahead with plans to make the COVID vaccine mandatory, with a parliamentary debate on the issue planned for next week.
Las year, the editor-in-chief of Germany’s top newspaper Bild apologized for the news outlet’s fear-driven coverage of COVID, specifically to children who were told “that they were going to murder their grandma.”
As we highlighted earlier, the Czech Republic has abandoned plans to make the COVID vaccine mandatory for some groups after numerous large protests took place in Prague.
The general picture across the continent is one of restrictions being gradually rolled back in response to Omicron proving mild, although countries like Austria are still planning to make the jab compulsory.

Whilst the UK lifts restrictions, the EU doubles down.
Our fight is far from over.
Last Tuesday, I had the honor of being on ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ again. This time, I was invited to speak about what I - and many of you - believe to be the most pivotal fight of our time: the fight for our freedom. In the segment I had the opportunity to sound the alarm on what’s going on here in Europe to a very large, predominantly American audience. This was incredibly important to me for two reasons: as Tucker mentioned, the revolution here in Europe is not televised. The massive protests that take place in Europe barely receive any media coverage at all. And when they do, the mainstream media lies about the number of people that show up. Why? Because they don’t want more people to know what’s actually going on and because they obviously don’t want the resistance to grow.
But as per usual, Tucker does not play by the rules of the MSM. So he opened the segment by showing a compilation of major protests all around Europe and then asked me about what was going on there. I told him that there is a massive movement led by people who know exactly what’s at stake here. The people that are going out on the streets know that they are fighting against something way bigger than ‘just’ restrictions. Which brings me to my second point: From talking to some of the most wonderful American freedom fighters, I’ve come to learn that most Americans have no idea how dire the situation in Europe really is. Obviously, America has very heated debates about vaccine mandates too, but they don’t have a digital vaccine passport in place on a federal level. So whenever I talked about QR-codes that grant us access to everyday life, they always looked at me somewhat vaguely. And that’s exactly the issue here.
What most people don’t know is the fact that the system we already have in place here in Europe, is a system that can be used for just about anything, not just your vaxx status. And it will be, because the people who rule us are actually very open about their intentions of doing just that.
This is all part of a plan called the ‘European Digital Idenity' project. Which basically comes down to every single European citizen having a digital wallet, that contains your medical records, identification information, soon possibly your Central Bank Digital Currencies; and basically anything else there is to know about you. In short: It’s a tracking app. The government, or whoever has access to your information, will know exactly where you are, who you are with and what you spend your money on. What could possibly go wrong there?
Well, a lot. As I said on Tucker Carlson Tonight: “We’re headed towards a new system, a tyrannical regime of mass surveillance and control. Here in Europe, we already have a system in place that reminds us of the early phases of a social credit system. We are literally turning into China”.
And I meant it. Because although in some countries the restrictions are being lifted, what I was afraid of indeed happened: Austria has fallen. Last Thursday, the National Council in Austria (NB: not Australia) passed a law making the Covid vaccines mandatory on a nationwide level; meaning every citizen above the age of 18 will have to pay massive fines up to €15,000 a year, for the ‘crime’ of being unvaccinated. When I say Austria has fallen and Europe is no longer ‘‘part of the Free West”, I’m not saying that to sound dramatic. I deeply believe that once a state no longer honors its citizens' bodily integrity, freedom is a concept of the past. And there is no reason to think this will be limited to just Austria. On the contrary, actually. Germany has announced it also wants to enforce mandatory vaccination on a nationwide level, most likely starting at the end of February. And we all know that if Germany does something, it’s only a matter of time till the rest of the EU follows. On that note, Germany has also announced this week that they will be barring parliamentary members who are unvaccinated from entering the Bundestag. De facto this comes down to an exclusive entry-ban for members from the Alternative für Deutschland party. Unsurprisingly, this is a right-wing opposition party. And let’s not forget that the German head of the office for the protection of the constitution has stated that people who protest against the Covid restrictions are potential ‘‘enemies of the state’’, which is a subject I talked about on Steve Bannon’s War Room and Mark Steyn’s show on GB News recently.
So yes, whilst I also see cracks that are starting to appear in the narrative, and whilst it also pleases me to see that the UK has just lifted all of its Covid restrictions; I think it’s too early to be cheering. Because what do all these countries who ease their restrictions have in common? Exactly, they’re not part of the EU. They won’t have the European Digital Identity project, aka, The European Social Credit like system shoved down their throats under the pretext of public health to begin with. The Brits really should be thanking God - and Nigel Farage - for Brexit, once again.
So what’s next for us? Well, right after I post this I will be travelling to Brussels to join the World Wide Rally for Freedom tomorrow. This protest is said to be the biggest one so far, with people from all over the world joining in their respective countries. And yes, going to protests does matter. We are not alone and the more people wake up to what’s really going on here, the higher our chances are of turning this around. There is still hope. There is always hope.
I hope to see some of you in Brussels tomorrow.

Bari Weiss and Bill Maher drop Covid truth bombs… Crowd goes wild…
Posted by Kane on January 22, 2022 5:05 pm
6:03 min
Excellent segment from last night’s premiere of Bill Maher
Bill Maher — “I mean, we’re in a very different place with Covid than we were just when I was on the air last time, and that is the vaccines do not prevent you from either transmitting it or getting the disease. We know that. That’s a fact now. They just prevent you from dying, which is a great part of it. But if they don’t prevent you from transmitting it and they don’t prevent you from getting it why are we still treating this disease the way we always have? And what the F is the use of a booster shot? Because I will never get a booster shot.”
“It’s not only useless, but this is a very, very new vaccine. Okay, I didn’t want the first vaccine. We should not treat people unfairly who want to allow their own immune system to take care of the situation. But okay, I took one for the team. Now, they’re giving a fourth one in Israel with the booster shots. Now, this I read in the front page of the New York Times, which is a very pro-vaccine publication, and even they printed that many scientists in Israel were against this, because they said it might have a reverse effect, something called immune system fatigue.”
“Right. I mean, 78%, this is just the CDC fact, 78% of the people who died or went to the hospital were obese. Now, I’m not saying they deserved to die. Don’t twist my words, please. I’m just saying that is a lifestyle, you know? So, the fact that America, the medical establishment, never even attempted to get people to live a healthier lifestyle as a response to this pandemic is a giant scandal to me.”
“It’s not a rarefied or weird point of view to say that if people would up their vitamin D levels, up their zinc levels, stop eating sugar, get a proper amount of sleep, stop overeating and day drinking, which is what went on during this pandemic, they would have a much better chance. The people who didn’t do that have blood on their hands. There’s no other way to put it.”
“I understand that the Western medical establishment is rather cozy with the pharmaceutical industry, so I understand that their only idea about solving this is a pharmaceutical response. And I’m glad there is a vaccine because many people need a vaccine. It does stop you from dying. But shouldn’t we also have at least mentioned this other way to deal with it?”
“So, don’t sit there in your white coat and tell me just do what we say. When have we ever been wrong? A lot is my answer. A lot. They drilled mercury into my teeth when I was a child. Now, of course, we don’t do that anymore, but do you really think in 50 years people will look back and say, oh, yeah, we had it all figured out in 2022? No, they will be appalled at things we’re doing right now.”

“I’m Over COVID, What the F**k Is the Use of Boosters?” – Bill Maher Goes Off on Medical Establishment, Experimental Vaccines in Latest Interview
By Jim Hoft
Published January 22, 2022 at 8:00am
Bill Maher sat down with Deadline Magazine this week before the start of his 20th season on HBO. The leftist icon told Deadline he is through with COVID, the vaccines don’t prevent you from transmitting or from catching the disease, and “What the f**k is the use of boosters?”
Obviously, Bill has broken through the mass formation psychosis that consumes many Americans today.
Excerpts via Deadline.
“I feel like Covid is still the dominant issue of our lives right now and it should not be anymore,” the Real Time with Bill Maher host says as the HBO series prepares to kick off its 20th season tonight. “And I think the big discussion on our show Friday night when we go on, is should we continue with the Covid policies we’ve had in the past?…”
…“I’m over Covid.” He continued, “I mean, 78%, this is just the CDC fact, 78% of the people who died or went to the hospital were obese. Now, I’m not saying they deserved to die. Don’t twist my words, please. I’m just saying that is a lifestyle, you know? So, the fact that America, the medical establishment, never even attempted to get people to live a healthier lifestyle as a response to this pandemic is a giant scandal to me… It’s not a rarefied or weird point of view to say that if people would up their vitamin D levels, up their zinc levels, stop eating sugar, get a proper amount of sleep, stop overeating and day drinking, which is what went on during this pandemic, they would have a much better chance. The people who didn’t do that have blood on their hands. There’s no other way to put it.”

The Dam Is Breaking: Small Businesses Band Together To Sue Mayor Over Vaccine Mandate
By ProTrumpNews Staff
Published January 22, 2022 at 9:40am
Backlash against vaccine mandates is growing across the country.
Businesses in Minneapolis are now suing Democrat Mayor Jacob Frey over his vaccine mandate.
The complaint says the mandate is “calculated and purposed to attempt to prod the general public toward vaccination.”
They also accuse Frey of using the bars and restaurants as “pawns.”
The Post Millennial reported:
The turn against vaccine mandates isn’t just in Minneapolis either.
After the Supreme Court ruled against Biden’s OSHA vaccine mandate major corporations have begun dropping their vaccine mandates.

New U.K. Reports Back Up CDC's Findings on Natural Immunity, Deliver Major Blow to School Masks

New U.K. Reports Back Up CDC's Findings on Natural Immunity, Deliver Major Blow to School Masks
"School age children who 'never' wear a mask... had a lower chance of testing positive for Covid than those who 'always' wear them."
| Kyle Becker
|
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.
Jamie Jenkins @statsjamieBreaking - new ONS stats show the likelihood of testing positive for #Covid19 is lowest for those with a prior infection vs someone never infected.
Prior infection offers better protection vs never infected when compared to someone boosted vs someone not vaccinated.

"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.
It should be added that this scam was accidentally exposed in Ottawa (which subsequently deleted the report from public view).
Kyle Becker @kylenabecker"Almost half of all COVID hospitalizations of the newly vaccinated occurred within 14 days which means they were treated as unvaccinated in the stats." The data fraud is almost laughable at this point. metatron.substack.com/p/alberta-just…
Alberta just inadvertently confessed to fiddling the COVID vaccination stats.More than half the newly vaccinated deaths were dumped in the unvaccinated.metatron.substack.comJanuary 21st 2022

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.

Wife Stands Off With Hospital To Keep Her Husband Alive, And Wins
SATURDAY, JAN 22, 2022 - 06:30 PM
Authored by Matt McGregor via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
Sentiments expressed in random phone calls for Anne Quiner as her husband Scott lay in a hospital bed breathing through a ventilator ranged from “I hope your husband dies a vegetable” followed by a litter of profanity, to “he should have taken the vaccine; I hope he dies,” before hanging up.

While not the traditional Hallmark expressions for one to get well soon, Quiner said it was a feeling shared among some of the doctors at Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, where Scott had been hospitalized for COVID-19 complications in November.
In one recorded phone call with Dr. Linda Soucie in which Quiner was fighting to keep Scott on the ventilator, Soucie told Quiner, “Unfortunately, if we could turn back time and he had gotten the vaccine, then he wouldn’t be here,” just after Soucie had told Quiner, “After three years, I think we’ve gotten pretty good at determining who’s going to make it and who’s not, and unfortunately Scott’s in that range of the group that is not going to make it.”
In a recorded conference call, doctors told Quiner that they would be taking Scott off the ventilator on Jan. 13 because he would not recover due to what they said were his “destroyed lungs from COVID pneumonia,” and that their attempts at decreasing sedation only caused him pain.
Quiner told The Epoch Times that her petitions for alternative treatments, as well as to keep Scott on the ventilator, had been met with contempt.
With doctors determined to take Scott off the ventilator, Quiner sought legal counsel.
Making It Out Alive
Marjorie Holsten, Quiner’s attorney, told The Epoch Times that she filed a motion for a temporary restraining order that prevented the hospital from taking Scott off the ventilator.
Mercy Hospital then hired its own law firm that objected to the temporary restraining order on the basis that Holsten and Quiner’s position isn’t “supported by medical science.”
Because of this, the hospital requested that the court issue an order authorizing the hospital to take Scott off the ventilator.
The judge sided with Holsten, issuing the order based on the standard that irreparable harm would result if not issued, which Holsten said was easy to establish because if Scott had been taken off, he would have died.
On Jan. 15, Scott was transferred out of Mercy Hospital and taken to an undisclosed hospital in Texas, where Holsten said the doctors have reported Scott to be malnourished, having lost 30 pounds underweight, and dehydrated.
Both Holsten and Quiner said doctors in Texas were “horrified” by Scott’s condition when he arrived.
“One doctor said he didn’t know how Scott made it out of that hospital alive,” Quiner said.
“He looked at his chart and said, ‘I can’t believe the heavy, sedating drugs they put him on.’”
The hospital was following a rigid late-treatment COVID protocol that has “very likely killed many people,” Holsten said.
Mercy Hospital is a part of the Allina Health hospital system.
When reached for comment on Scott’s treatment, a spokesperson for Allina Health told The Epoch Times that Allina Health “has great confidence in the exceptional care provided to our patients, which is administered according to evidence-based practices by our talented and compassionate medical teams. Due to patient privacy, we cannot comment on care provided to specific patients,” and that the hospital system wished “the patient and his family well.”
Currently, Holsten said Scott is “making tremendous progress.”
“Yesterday, Scott started following the doctor’s hands with his eyes, and now he’s blinking in response to questions,” Holsten said. “He was able to nod his head and move his legs for the nurse.”
The ordeal became a manifestation of Quiner’s biggest fear in taking Scott to the hospital after his symptoms worsened, Quiner said.
Since the beginning of COVID-19, rumors of neglectful treatment of COVID patients in hospitals fueled by financial incentives have circulated.
‘It’s a Bounty on People’s Lives’
Dr. Robert Malone, a virologist and immunologist who has contributed to mRNA vaccine technology, said in a December 2021 interview on The Joe Rogan Experience said that the financial incentives aren’t rumors.
“The numbers are quite large,” Malone told Rogan. “There’s something like a $3,000 basically death benefit to a hospital if it can be claimed to be COVID. There’s a financial incentive to call somebody COVID positive.”
The hospitals receive a bonus, Malone added, from the government if someone is hospitalized and able to be declared COVID positive.
“They also receive a bonus—I think the total is something like $30,000 in incentive—if somebody gets put on the vent,” Malone said. “Then they get a bonus, if somebody is declared dead with COVID.”
It was Stew Peters, a podcaster on The Stew Peters Show, that broke Quiner’s story and garnered audience support that facilitated Scott’s release.
After sending the two recordings Quiner made of her conversations with her doctors to her patient advocate and Minnesota State Rep. Shane Mekeland, they both then contacted Peters who Quiner said called her “right away.”
“He told me, ‘If you don’t get social media involved and get this viral, they will kill your husband and you won’t have any say in it at all,’”
Quiner said. “That’s when Stew got me on his show and within moments the hospital got like 300,000 phone calls. They had to shut their phone lines down.”
Quiner said it was Peters and his audience that were responsible “for helping me save my husband’s life.”
“Without their taking action, Scott would have died,” Quiner said.
At one point, there were so many phone calls that Quiner said the hospital began denying that Scott was a patient there.
“Our audience flooded the hospital and Frederickson & Byron Law Firm (the firm that represents Mercy Hospital) with calls, making them all aware that the world was watching,” Peters told The Epoch Times.
The Stew Peters Show put a team together that included Attorney Thomas Renz and coordinated with a doctor to take Scott’s case and the hospital where Scott was transferred.
On the Stew Peters Show, Dr. Lee Vliet, president and chief executive officer for the physician-founded Truth for Health, a nonprofit that has promoted early COVID treatment to keep people out of hospitals, said the CARES Act has documented hospital incentive payments.
“Hospital administrators know that they will be extra for doing the PCR tests and positive test results,” Vliet said. “A COVID diagnosis means admission to the hospital. On admission, there is an incentive payment. Use of remdesivir provides a 20 percent bonus payment from our government to the hospital on the entire hospital bill for that COVID patient.”
The use of remdesivir gives the hospital a 20 percent bonus payment from Medicare instead of other medicines, such as ivermectin, Vliet said.
“It’s a bounty on people’s lives, basically, to use remdesivir and prevent access to other medications such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin,” Vliet said.
She echoed Malone’s statement on hospital incentives for putting a patient on a ventilator and declaring a patient deceased from COVID.
In addition, she said the coroner gets a financial incentive for a COVID diagnosis.
She added that medical practices are paid more under Medicare and Medicaid services based on a higher percentage of their patients being vaccinated.
On average, she said, it has been calculated that hospitals receive a bonus of $100,000 minimum for every COVID patient who has the elements of COVID diagnosis with remdesivir and ventilator treatment before a COVID cause of death.
Vliet cites her research in an editorial in the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons titled, “Biden’s Bounty on Your Life: Hospitals’ Incentive Payments for COVID-19.”
‘She Just Wants to Keep Her Husband Alive’
Married 35 years with three children, Quiner and Scott have been through much together, she said, and in these last few months, Quiner has faced some of the hardest parts without him.
After 14 years, amid fighting to keep her husband alive, Quiner had to put their dog Toby down earlier in January because he could no longer walk.
“One morning I got up and he could not get up at all,” Quiner said.
Quiner has been verbally attacked not just through phone calls but through news and social media, platforms her children warned she avoid.
“My family told me not to even go on to Twitter because I didn’t want to read what they were writing about me,” Quiner said.
Still, Holsten said Quiner continues to fight.
“She’s a trooper, and she hasn’t sought any of this,” Holsten said. “She just wants to keep her husband alive.”
On his transfer to Texas, Quiner said she’s relieved.
“That’s the first thing I felt,” Quiner said, “relief that he’s out of that hospital and in safe care.”

Unmask America
SATURDAY, JAN 22, 2022 - 05:30 PM
Authored by Jeff Deist via The Mises Institute,
Enough is enough. It is time to stop wearing masks, or at the very least to eliminate mask mandates in all settings.
This is especially urgent for children in schools and universities, who suffer the effects of masks for long hours each day despite being at exceedingly low risk for death or serious illness from covid.
We have a responsibility, once and for all, to reject the ludicrous, ever-shifting narratives underpinning masks as effective impediments to the spread of covid infections.
The story changed from "masks don't work," to "masks may work," to "masks work and you must wear one." Now the narrative switches yet again: "cloth masks don't work, so you should wear a surgical or 'well-fitted' mask," or even wear two!
Note that even as covid evolves into a less dangerous omicron variant, we are supposed to increase the hysteria level by wearing masks intended for surgeons maintaining a sterile environment over open wounds. We are told this by the same political, medical, and media figures who have been "frequently wrong but never in doubt" about all things covid over the past two long years. And they spoke with just as much bogus certainty then as they do now.
Perversely, the Biden administration recently ordered 400 million surgical N95 masks for distribution across the country. Since N95 masks are considered disposable, and meant to be worn at most perhaps 40 hours, it is unclear what happens in a week or two when 330 million Americans run out of their "free" personal protective equipment.
The UK has sensibly ended its mask mandates, both in public places (offices and other workplaces, bars, restaurants, sporting events, theaters) and thankfully schools. One young university student broke down in tears at the news, lamenting the inhumanity of her experience over the past two years. As British Health secretary Savid Javid stated, "We must learn to live with covid in the same way we live with flu."
Amen.
The arguments against masks are straightforward.
- Masks don't work. Or at least cloth masks don't.
CNN's dubious medical expert Dr. Lena Wen, previously an uber-masker, now tells us cloth masks are "little more than facial decorations. And heroic skeptic Dr. Jay Bhattacharya cites both a Danish study and a Bangladeshi study which found cloth masks show little efficacy in preventing covid.
Are we seriously prepared to wear tight and uncomfortable surgical masks all day to evade omicron?
- Masks are filthy.
Why would we ever interfere with natural breathing unless we felt sick, displayed symptoms, and were worried about infecting others? And in that case, why not just stay home?
- Masks are dehumanizing.
Perhaps most disturbing, however, are the symbolic effects when millions of Americans dutifully wear masks based on flimsy evidence provided by deeply unimpressive people. Facelessness--the lack of individual identity, personality, and looks-- is inherently dehumanizing and dystopian. Like prison or military uniforms, masks reduce our personal characteristics. Mask are muzzles, symbols of rote acquiescence to an ugly new normal nobody asked for or voted for.
- Risk is inevitable.
As always, the overwhelming burden of justification for any intervention—including mask mandates—must rest on those proposing it, not those opposing it.
In sum, Americans are not children. Tradeoffs are part of every policy, whether government officials admit this or not. We know how to coexist with flu, just as we live with countless bacteria and viruses in our environment. We will similarly coexist with covid. The goal is not to eliminate germs, and zero covid is an absurdity. A healthy immune system, built up through diet, exercise, and sunlight will always be the best frontline defense against communicable disease. But diet, exercise, and sunlight cannot be outsourced to health officials or mandated by politicians.
Whatever slight benefits masks may provide are a matter for individuals to decide for themselves. People who feel sick with symptoms should stay home. We can all wash our hands frequently and thoroughly. Otherwise it is time for Americans to assert themselves against the dubious claims and non-existent legality of government covid measures.
It is time to get back to normal life, and that starts with visible human faces.

British Medical Journal Demands Immediate Release of All COVID-19 Vaccine, Treatment Data
SATURDAY, JAN 22, 2022 - 08:10 AM
Authored by Katabella Roberts via The Epoch Times,
The British Medical Journal (BMJ) has demanded the full and immediate release of all data related to COVID-19 vaccines and treatments, saying it is in the public’s interest to do so.
BMJ, a weekly peer-reviewed medical trade journal published by the trade union the British Medical Association, called for the release of the data in an editorial published on Wednesday.
BMJ also accused pharmaceutical companies of “reaping vast profits without adequate independent scrutiny of their scientific claims,” pointing to Pfizer, whose COVID vaccine trial was “funded by the company and designed, run, analyzed, and authored by Pfizer employees.”
New York-headquartered Pfizer still holds that trial data and has indicated that it won’t begin considering requests for such data until May 2025—24 months after the primary study completion date of May 15, 2023, which is listed on ClinicalTrials.gov.
Meanwhile, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had asked a judge to give it 75 years to produce all the data concerning the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine.
However, a judge earlier this month ordered that the FDA make public 12,000 pages of the data it used to make decisions regarding approvals for the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine by the end of the month. The FDA must also release Pfizer’s vaccine data at a rate of 55,000 pages a month until all of the requested pages are public.
BMJ also noted that AstraZeneca has indicated that it may be ready to entertain requests for data from a number of its phase III trials. However, the Cambridge-headquartered company says that the timeline for such data can “vary per request and can take up to a year upon full submission of the request for analysis, decision, anonymization, and sharing of the requested data or documents.”
The Epoch Times has contacted spokespersons for Pfizer and AstraZeneca for comment.
BMJ added that regulators are not there to “dance to the tune of rich global corporations and enrich them further” but to protect the general public’s health and for that reason, they said, we need “complete data transparency for all studies, we need it in the public interest, and we need it now.”
In December, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was also sued by the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) over claims that it is improperly withholding COVID-19 vaccine safety data from the American public.
ICAN is asking the CDC to provide de-identified post-licensure safety data for the COVID-19 vaccines in the CDC’s v-safe system so as to assure transparency with the general public regarding claims by both the CDC and the Biden administration that COVID-19 vaccines are “safe and effective.”
The British Medical Journal is one of the world’s oldest general medical journals, having been founded in 1840, and has editorial freedom from the British Medical Association.

The Beginning of the End? Major Western Nations Suddenly Drop Vaccine Mandates

The Beginning of the End? Major Western Nations Suddenly Drop Vaccine Mandates
"We do not want to deepen fissures in society."
This may very well be the beginning of the end for Covid mandates. At least in some countries.
The sudden announcements of a handful of nations to scrap vaccine mandates and passports have left authoritarian rulers who have seized on the pandemic scrambling.
England is poised to become the first major Western country to precipitously drop vaccine mandates and scrap ‘emergency’ coronavirus measures like mask mandates, self-isolation measures, and work restrictions.
An important backdrop to the significance of the British defection is that there are still many European nations dominated by socialists that are in the throes of increasingly oppressive restrictions. As was just reported by Forbes:
- People ages 60 and over in Greece who have not been vaccinated against Covid-19 will be fined around $115 a month.
- Italy has made vaccinations compulsory for older people—over 50s—in early January.
- Austria is set to introduce one of the world’s strictest vaccine mandates by forcing everyone ages 18 and over to get the jab. Vaccine resisters would face fines of up to $4,100 under the law.
- Unvaccinated people ages 16 and over in France will be excluded from most public venues under the new “vaccine pass” law, which President Emmanuel Macron said is designed to “piss off” vaccine resisters.
But on Wednesday, beleaguered prime minister Boris Johnson bucked this trend and announced that vaccine mandates and work restrictions would soon be lifted — in March at the latest.
"People in England will no longer be required to wear face masks anywhere or work from home from next week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday, adding that scientists believed a wave of the Omicron coronavirus variant had peaked nationally," Reuters reported.
Also on the chopping block: Self-isolation or "quarantine," which will expire in March; the measures might even be axed sooner.
"Because of the extraordinary booster campaign, together with the way the public have responded to the Plan B measures, we can return to Plan A in England and allow Plan B regulations to expire as a result from the start of Thursday next week," Johnson told the British parliament.
"Johnson said mandatory COVID-19 certification would end, though businesses could choose to continue COVID passes if they wanted to," Reuters added.
The Washington Post, however, is extremely unhappy about all of this. It is connecting the dots between the dropping of the Covid restrictions and Boris Johnson's scandalous behavior, which has been exposed in recent weeks.
"Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday announced an easing of coronavirus restrictions in England amid growing calls from outside — and inside — his party for him to resign over repeated revelations of rule-flouting parties held at his residence and office," WaPo reported.
Yet the news comes as the Omicron wave appears to be rapidly subsiding in England, similar to how the virus burned out in South Africa.
In the U.S., the Supreme Court recently dealt a blow to Biden’s federal vaccine mandates by sending the OSHA case impacting large employers back to the lower courts, while maintaining the emergency stay against vaccination enforcement.
However, the maintaining of the vaccine mandate for federally funded healthcare providers was a disappointment to many who oppose the authoritarian measures. The OSHA ruling, however, may cause other vaccine mandates to ‘wither on the vine.’
It should be noted that England has opened up before, only to face subsequent restrictions. In July, it held a "Freedom Day," much to the chagrin of lockdown proponents around the world.
Covid passports are nonetheless set to be phased out of England, even as many expect governments will try to use the measure as a foot-in-the-door to more intrusive surveillance of private citizens.
"Ministers are already planning to ditch Plan B curbs brought in last month to fight the highly-transmissible variant, with Covid passports and WFH guidance expected to be scrapped later this month," the Daily Mail said.
"Health Secretary Sajid Javid today revealed he is 'cautiously optimistic' that the final Plan B curbs can be 'substantially reduced' next week when ministers review No10's next steps," the report continued.
Boris Johnson's current assessment is that the nation's plummeting Omicron infection numbers and stabilizing hospital rates indicate that the UK can "safely live with Covid."
Thus, even as such nations double down on their constitutionally unlawful, financially corrupt, economically destructive, socially disruptive, and scientifically irrelevant policies, there will at least be national contrasts to their futility and folly. European versions of Florida and Texas, if you will.
More nations may soon follow suit and decide that Covid does not mean the end of Western Civilization as we know it. These political defectors will reap the rewards of more prosperous economies, stable societies, and happier peoples.
England was not the only nation to announce it would soon be ending vaccine mandates.
