The Daily Wire

After the Supreme Court struck down Biden’s emergency order for employees of large companies to be vaccinated or tested frequently, OSHA is now attempting to implement the order another way.

"What Have You Guys Been Right About?" Adam Carolla Slams Media Over Joe Rogan Controversy

FRIDAY, JAN 28, 2022 - 02:20 PM
Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,

Comedian Adam Carolla slammed the media over their demand that Joe Rogan be censored for pushing “misinformation,” asking them, “What have you guys been right about?”


Fox News host Sean Hannity asked Carolla why people demanding for Rogan to be censored couldn’t just choose not to listen to him.

“Basically we’ve decided there’s one lane you can be in when it comes to COVID and if you get outside of that lane, you need to be shut down,” the comedian responded.

Carolla said that it was ironic how traditionally anti-establishment figures like rockers and artists were now doing the bidding of the establishment.

“Their job is to push back against the man and Neil Young should know the man isn’t Joe Rogan, the man is Dr. Fauci, the man is Governor Gavin Newsom, the man is the CDC, the man is the WHO, the man is Biden,” said Carolla.

“That’s who the man is, you’re an old rocker, you’re supposed to push back against the man – Joe Rogan is pushing back against the man and you’re pushing back against Joe Rogan,” he added.

Carolla then made a mockery of legacy media outlets and shows like The View constantly complaining about COVID “misinformation.”

“What have you guys been right about?” he asked.

“You closed the beaches down, you closed the schools down, cloth masks were gonna save us all, the vaccine was gonna be effective, natural immunity wasn’t effective – what have you been right about?”

The comedian then asserted that he would be confident in putting Joe Rogan’s batting average up against CNN’s batting average “any day of the week,” referring to CNN’s infamous dismissal of Ivermectin as horse dewormer.

Carolla returned to the issue of Neil Young demanding his music be removed from Spotify, remarking, “Guys like Neil Young, who back in the day would have been on the side of natural immunity are now on the side of big pharma and pushing back against natural immunity, so the whole thing is upside down.”

NY Nurses Arrested After Selling $1.5 Million In Fake Vaccine Cards

SATURDAY, JAN 29, 2022 - 10:00 PM

Two New York nurses were busted after having made a reported $1.5 million selling fake Covid-19 vaccination cards.

Two Long Island nurses, 49-year-old Julie Devuono and 44-year-old Marissa Urraro, had forged vaccine cards between November 2021 and January 2022.

Law enforcement officers seized around $900,000 during a search of DeVuono's home, and a ledger showing more than $1.5 million from the scheme, according to NBC4NY.

The pair reportedly charged between $220 and $440 for adults and $85 for children. After selling the cards, the women would then allegedly add the information to the NY State Immunization Information System (NYSIIS).

According to prosecutors, the pair - who worked at Wild Child Pediatric Healthcare in Amityville (owned by DeVuono) - forged vaccine cards for undercover detectives.

Former CDC Director: Fauci-Shaped Paper On Origins Of COVID-19 'Antithetical To Science'

SATURDAY, JAN 29, 2022 - 03:30 PM
Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

The claim that the virus that causes COVID-19 definitely was not from a laboratory, put forth in a paper quietly shaped by Dr. Anthony Fauci that was cited by other scientists who called the lab idea a “conspiracy theory,” was “antithetical to science,” a former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director says.

“The purpose of science is to have rigorous debate about different hypotheses.
I’ve never really experienced in my life where there was private telephone calls among scientists that had a decision on what position they would take collectively, and to see that position then published in a scientific journal like Lancet, to say that individuals that thought like myself, had a different scientific hypothesis, somehow had to be put down and viewed as conspirators, this is really antithetical to science,” Dr. Robert Redfield, the agency’s head until Jan. 20, 2021, said during a Jan. 26 appearance on Fox News.

(L-R) Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, attend a briefing on the administration's CCP virus response in the press briefing room of the White House in Washington on March 2, 2020. (Drew Angerer/Getty Images)
Emails recently made public show that Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), played a key role in shaping a paper published by Nature in early 2020.

The authors, most of whom messaged repeatedly with Fauci, joined him on a teleconference shortly before the paper was published, and have since received millions from Fauci’s agency, claimed that their analyses “clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus.”

The Nature article was one of those cited by EcoHealth Alliance founder Peter Daszak and a separate group of scientists in an article later published in The Lancet. “We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin,” wrote Daszak, whose group funneled money from Fauci’s agency to scientists in Wuhan, China, and the other authors.

Many experts later acknowledged there’s no clear evidence that the CCP virus has a natural origin, and some have said the bulk of the evidence points to it coming from the set of laboratories in Wuhan.

Redfield is one of them.

“I don’t think it’s biologically plausible that this virus emerged from a bat to some intermediate species into humans and became one of the most transmissible viruses that we know in human disease. This virus clearly had a detour and that detour was being educated how to infect human tissue in the laboratory. I think that’s the most plausible explanation,” he told Fox.

Dr. Francis Collins, Fauci’s boss when he was the head of the National Institutes of Health, and Fauci were trying to “protect science” by suppressing debate over the virus origins, Redfield posited. The problem is, “there’s very limited data” to support their position, he told Fox.

Asked if Fauci, who has been in his position since 1985, should be fired, Redfield demurred but said he did think Fauci should “reflect on this and then provide the science leadership that we need to move forward.”

“I have a lot of respect for him over the years. I think he needs to step back and not try to second guess and make things a way that he thinks the world can hear.

We should just tell the truth,” Redfield said.

NIAID didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Redfield also said that he believes scientists will eventually solve the mystery of the origin of the virus.

Father of Two Young Children Denied Heart Transplant for Being Unvaccinated

By Jim Hoft
Published January 29, 2022 at 9:30pm

A 31-year-old father from Boston was removed from the heart transplant list because he refused to receive the experimental COVID-19 vaccine ‘which puts him at high risk for adverse reactions and even death.’

D.J Ferguson was first on the list to receive the transplant at Brigham and Women’s Hospital according to his family. He was then removed from the list after reviewing his medical history which showed he had not received the COVID shots.

“B&W Hospital has made it clear that they put public policy over the patients at their hospital, clearly in violation of their own mission statement, even going so far as to state that they would most likely reject the heart of an unvaccinated donor. The head cardiologist figuratively held a heart over DJ’s head, saying that if he got the shot today, he could have a new heart by Monday. This is coercive and discriminatory medical apartheid has now reached beyond the grave,” according to a fundraising post.

You can help and donate to his family here: “Have A Heart”

More information from the fundraising campaign set up by his mom, Tracey Ferguson:

David B Ferguson, Jr. (DJ) is the father of two young children soon to be three, feels forced to play Russian Roulette with his life at Brigham & Womens’s Hospital in Boston where he has been hospitalized for weeks. After complications from Afib and deteriorating heart failure he has been left with no choice but to have a heart transplant. He was placed on the Transplant List only to be informed that he could no receive the lifesaving procedure unless he got the Covid Vaccine. The 31 year old has had a short history of Afib, which puts him at high risk for adverse reaction and even death. Each day there are more and more reports of men in his age range who are severely debilitated or worse, dying of heart attacks after receiving the shot.

Why deliberately put a high risk patient in harm’s way with an unproven shot? DJ’s choice to refuse the COVID Vax is a protective measure allowing his own immune system to work for him, rather than taking the risks associated with a manufactured vaccine that has yet to be shown effective with a patient in his critical state.

B&W Hospital has made it clear that they put public policy over the patients at their hospital, clearly in violation of their own mission statement, even going so far as to state that they would most likely reject the heart of an unvaccinated donor. The head cardiologist figuratively held a heart over DJ’s head, saying that if he got the shot today, he could have a new heart by Monday. This is coercive and discriminatory medical apartheid has now reached beyond the grave.

Their premise for insisting on the vaccine is to prevent rejection, infection and virus. It would then follow that patients would would need a vaccine against any and all viruses. Furthermore, COVID is a virus that DJ believes he has already h ad and he has requested that the hospital test him for the antibodies. If he has them, then he is at least, if not more protected naturally than as he would be with a manufactured vax.

Please help DJ and his family with the mounting costs they are incurring as they deal with this devastating, life threatening ordeal. Prayers, Shares and contributions are all helpful and welcome.

According to ABC News, the 31-year-old father underwent a seven-hour open-heart surgery on Tuesday where a pump was inserted that will “mechanically pump his heart until a donor’s heart becomes available” and the pump should keep him alive for up to five years.

But Ferguson still requires an immediate heart transplant due to his rapid deterioration, his parents told Tucker Carlson on Wednesday.

A similar situation happened to a 49-year-old Texas man who was forced to take the COVID-19 vaccine to remain on a lung transplant list. Sadly, he died due to heart complications developed after he was forced to take the COVID-19 vaccine.

Air Force chaplain reprimanded for pursuit of religious exemption to Austin vaccine mandate

"He believes that submitting to an unlawful order would violate his oath to support and defend the Constitution and would make him disqualified to serve as an ordained pastor in the future," said the chaplain's attorney, Davis Younts.

Air Force chaplain reprimanded for pursuit of religious exemption to Austin vaccine mandate

"He believes that submitting to an unlawful order would violate his oath to support and defend the Constitution and would make him disqualified to serve as an ordained pastor in the future," said the chaplain's attorney, Davis Younts.

Updated: January 29, 2022 - 10:52pm

An active duty Air Force chaplain has received a letter of reprimand in answer to his pursuit of a religious exemption to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The major, who is remaining anonymous, met the deadlines and requirements for submitting a religious accommodation request (RAR), but was denied. He appealed the denial, which was also denied.

File
20211203 RAR Appeal Denial_Redacted.pdf

After the second denial, the chaplain was ordered to get the COVID vaccine.

Following his refusal to receive the shot, he was sent a letter of correction, which is equivalent to a warning. When the correction letter was sustained and he was again ordered to get the inoculation, he refused, and was served a letter of reprimand.

File
20220112 LOR Issued (002)_Redacted.pdf

"Letters of Reprimand are often used for things like - Sexual Harassment, Cruelty and Maltreatment, False Official Statements, and Dereliction of Duty," the chaplain's attorney, Davis Younts, told Just the News.

The chaplain's request to overturn the letter of reprimand was denied. Since the letter was upheld, it will create an unfavorable information file, which is considered in the major's performance report that goes before the promotion board, where service members compete for promotions. If he gets a negative performance report as a result, then he won't be competitive for a promotion, essentially ending his military career.

The chaplain is entitled to defend his vaccine refusal before an administrative separation board, however Younts said the Air Force will likely offer an honorable discharge if the chaplain agrees to waive his right to the board. If he doesn't waive the board, then he will likely be threatened with a general discharge.

If the Air Force is to grant any RARs, the chaplain should be at the top of the list, Younts argues.

"He believes that submitting to an unlawful order would violate his oath to support and defend the Constitution and would make him disqualified to serve as an ordained pastor in the future," Younts explained. "Despite the fact that he is facing punishment and discharge, he believes that he must take this stand for his faith and for all the Airmen he has ministered to. He does not believe that he could ever preach to military members or any congregation again if he compromised his faith and was not a voice for the voiceless."

The chaplain told Just the News that people have said if he can't get an RAR approved, then nobody will. He also believes that getting the vaccine would be sinning against God, and he would be disqualifying himself to represent his religious tradition and teach God's Word if he's unwilling to follow it.

The chaplain's denied RAR is one of what critics allege are blanket Air Force denials, which would be in violation of law. Air Force Reserve Lt. Col. Brandi King has alleged that she received a blanket denial to her RAR.

The Air Force previously told Just the News that each RAR case is "reviewed individually and on its own merit."

Nearly two weeks ago, the Marine Corps granted RARs to two Marines, becoming the first military branch to approve religious exemptions to the COVID vaccine.

Earlier this month, a U.S. district court judge ruled in favor of 35 service members who were denied RARs, granting a preliminary injunction against the vaccine mandate. The Navy's religious exemption process "merely rubber stamps each denial," the judge held.

Head of Austrian Bioethics Commission: This is but the beginning of a glorious new era of mandatory vaccination. The vaccinators will never stop vaccinating. eugyppius Jan 29 God save us from the bioethicists (image source). Catherine Druml, who heads the Austrian chancellor’s Bioethics Commission, wants to expand vaccine mandates in Austria. “The Covid-19 vaccine mandate could be the beginning of a new effort to protect people against unnecessary diseases like measles, whooping cough and influenza – also with vaccine mandates,” she said in an interview. “Society absolutely has an interest in avoiding unnecessary influenza waves.” She’s very excited about the mRNA combination vaccines that Moderna and other companies are currently developing: In the case of measles, [Druml] … references Germany, where vaccination is already mandatory, and a requirement for school and nursery attendance. The spread of measles has been greatly reduced by wearing masks, Druml says.¹ This could however change quickly, because many vaccinations against diseases like measles have been neglected during the pandemic. Druml has been advocating a Covid-19 mandate for 1.5 years. Instead of a general mandate, however, she would have preferred group-specific vaccine requirements for hospital staff, nursing homes, schools, personal service staff, and people over 55. Druml: “That would have saved a lot of effort, emotion and polarisation.” I will never get tired of typing, that a great many people in high positions are just totally ignorant and misinformed about what is happening. This is more and more the case, as you move from hard empirical sciences to the more administrative, politically adjacent make-work enterprises like epidemiology (which is everything and nothing) and bioethics (which is anything but ethical). Diseases like measles, whooping cough, and influenza are not “unnecessary,” they are unavoidable. The red line marks the start of mass vaccination in Austria. Since embarking upon their mass vaccination experiment, Austria has had more SARS-2 cases than ever before. Something is wrong with these vaccines, and the absolute worst possible scenario, is allowing lunatic bioethicists to mandate that children receive even more of them. 1 This statement is completely unfounded, as far as I can tell.​

Covid War Ending – Gerald Celente

Renowned trends researcher and publisher of “The Trends Journal,” Gerald Celente, boldly predicted back in April 2021, “We are going to start seeing a big anti-vax movement.” He was spot on. Now, Celente has another bold prediction: “The Covid War is coming to an end.” Celente explains, “On the virus, my forecast is the Covid war is going to end. Wind down, I should say significantly, by the end of March to mid-April. The new fear they are going to be selling after that is climate change.”

The wind down of Covid is really financial necessity. Celente says, “It’s killing businesses. New York City is a dead town. One after another you look at the places going out of business, and they are getting push back now. They can’t go on with this anymore. . . . They are killing the hospitality business, the restaurant business, they are all going down. They can’t go on like this, and they need the tax money. Politicians never work a day in their lives, so they need the money coming in.”

On the economic front, Celente predicted months ago that the Fed would be forced to raise rates. Now, the official inflation rate is 7%. The Fed is going to raise rates to fight inflation. Celente says, “Here is our forecast. This is a Paul Volker 2.0. You go back to 1982 and inflation was skyrocketing. They dramatically raised interest rates to stop it. (The Fed Funds Rate hit 20% under Volker’s plan.) So, they stopped inflation. They also dragged down the economy. . . . The markets are going to go down. . . . I don’t see a crash, at this point, in real estate.”

Celente also says oil could keep rising and inflation too. Celente says, “They are going to have to keep raising interest rates more and more to fight inflation, and if that keeps going, that’s when it will collapse. If inflation keeps going up and they have to raise rates much beyond the 2% mark, it’s over.”

Celente also gives his take on what is going on in Ukraine, and it’s not flattering to the Biden Administration. Celente talks about many other top trends as well.

Masks, Restricted Mobility, and Children’s Health
The harm in masking children and restricting their mobility leads to more long term harm for them than COVID

January 29, 2022
By
Jeff Davidson

Much has been said or written about whether or not school children should be vaccinated, wear masks, and attend on-site classes. Many voices on the right say that children’s propensity for contracting the virus and having any lingering ill-effects is rather small.

Voices on the left, well, who can be sure what they’re saying? Some have health concerns, but most seem to favor anything that will disrupt the nation and potentially cause harm to conservative politicians.

Under-explored is the effect of children wearing masks, incurring a lack of physical activity, and staring at screens. What about the impact of children not being able to see full faces and the resulting damage to their social development and skills? Should that be a topic of interest in the national conversation? If not, why not? What about children who already are over-connected to the internet and unconnected from nature, and from each other?

Many Schools Have the Space
Since social distancing is the order of the day, why has little discussion taken place about the creative ways in which schools can uphold social distancing for mask-free children who should be attending them? Nearly every school, from elementary to high school, has a gymnasium, and much of the time there is room within the gymnasium for 20 or 30 students to sit spaced apart and receive instruction.

For many hours each day, school cafeterias are not widely used. Cafeterias include tables and chairs which can be arranged to practice social distancing while enabling mask-free children to learn first-hand from an on-site teacher.

Most schools across the nation have auditoriums or theaters, or rooms of some sort where performances, assemblies, speeches, and presentations take place. In such gathering halls, a mask-free class of 20 or 30 students could meet in one corner, another class in another corner, and so on, thereby maintaining distance.

Also, in many parts of the country during late August, September, and October, the weather is palatable for holding classes outdoors.

The Fuzzy Future
Nearsightedness among all ages groups in society is on the rise: Since the 1970s, nearsightedness has increased nearly 70 percent. Whereas 35 years ago, roughly a quarter of the population between ages 12 and 54 required corrective lenses for nearsightedness, today that figure is above 50 percent.

Myopia is likely on the rise because of the increasing use of electronic devices, notably among young children, and starting at an early age. From age three on up, kids today stare at screens incessantly. Susan Vitale, Ph.D., an epidemiologist in the Clinical Trials Branch, Division of Epidemiology and Clinical Applications, National Eye Institute, notes that our affinity for electronic devices, especially among young children, could explain the sudden jump in nearsightedness.

It appears that the time spent indoors, which has been on the rise since the computer revolution of the early 1980s, doesn’t help. Children spend more time indoors today than children of previous generations and, thus, the peril of myopia looms. For eye health, indoor lighting cannot compare with sunlight.

When too little ambient light infiltrates their fields of vision, it sends a signal to each eye to stop growing. That can lead directly to myopia, and hence, a lifetime of trips to the optometrist.

Children are Vulnerable
Often, kids are allowed to stay connected to the Internet and electronic gadgetry, staring into screens for more hours each day than any futurist could have imagined, and all the while being subjected to the negative consequences of such actions.

Each of us, from childhood on, need to spend more time outdoors, at the least to enjoy nature’s bounty of vitamin D and for the stimulation of the pineal and other glands. Being outdoors also leads to more exercise. Yet, how many parents ensure that their children spend the requisite amount of time outdoors each day?

For children, the threat of spending too much time indoors is perilous for other reasons. More than ever, children today are subject to Type II diabetes and other afflictions normally associated with adults.

All the above points to the conclusion that the harm in masking children and restricting their mobility leads to more long term harm for them than COVID.

No, we are not faced with a killer ‘NeoCov’ virus now; here’s why

News of the emergence of a new type of coronavirus, with the potential to kill one of every three infected people, has been circulating on the internet for the last couple of days. What do we know about NeoCov?

Written by Anonna Dutt , Edited by Explained Desk | New Delhi |Updated: January 30, 2022 9:26:43 pm

In their study, the Chinese researchers found that the molecules that the NeoCoV used to infect the bats were similar to the one that is used by SARS-CoV-2 for infecting human beings. (Representational)

News of the emergence of a new type of coronavirus, with the potential to kill one of every three infected people, has been circulating on the internet for the last couple of days. It is being claimed that this new virus, called NeoCov, was discovered in South Africa amongst bats and it could possibly enter human cells.

The news reports are apparently based on a Chinese research paper that is yet to be peer-reviewed.

However, there is little connection between the paper and the inferences that have been drawn in the news reports. “Totally blown out of proportion,” as one scientist put it.

Also read |Covid-19 Numbers Explained: The third wave has likely peaked in India; here is why

A NeoCov virus does indeed exist, and it was indeed found in the bat population in South Africa some time ago. It is supposed to have very close resemblance to the coronavirus that caused the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in 2012.

In their study, the Chinese researchers found that the bat receptors used by the NeoCoV were similar to the one that is used by SARS-CoV2 for infecting human beings. Rest everything is an extrapolation from here.

“NeoCov demystified: 1. NeoCov is an old virus closely related to MERS Cov which enter cells via DPP4 receptors 2. What’s new: NeoCov can use ACE2 receptors of bats but they can’t use human ACE2 receptor unless a new mutation occurs. Everything else is hype,” Dr Shashank Joshi, member of Maharashtra State Covid-19 Task Force and chair of International Diabetes Federation, said in a tweet.

Everything else is hype
— Dr. Shashank Joshi (@AskDrShashank) January 28, 2022

NeoCov has been found only in bats and never infected a human being. Its potential to kill one in three people has been drawn from the fact that it is a very close relative of MERS coronavirus. The wider set of coronaviruses that MERS belongs to, called Merbecoviruses, have a high case fatality rate of approximately 35 per cent, the research paper said.



“MERS was even deadlier and has gone to humans, but not led to a pandemic.

Not everything that jumps becomes a pandemic. It is important that we continue surveillance of zoonotic pathogens. Good to be aware but nothing to worry about, contrary to floating headlines,” said Dr Anurag Agrawal, director, Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology.

In fact, had it not been for a mutation D614G in the Sars-CoV-2 virus, the pandemic might have looked very different, Dr Agrawal said in a recent Indian Express ExplainedLive session. He said, “If you look at the beginning of the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic, one of two initial lines that came would have died out, it would never have gone this far. The original mutation, that nobody gives a name to, is something called D614G. The D614G mutation if it had not occurred, this pandemic would have taken a very different track. So, D614G made it sweep across the globe.”

There is no fresh threat of NeoCov jumping from bats to human beings. The researchers clearly say that in laboratory experiments, the virus was unable to efficiently enter human ACE2 receptors. The researchers then looked at structural differences in the bat receptor and the human receptors, and narrowed down on proteins, which through a single mutation, may push the virus to human beings.

This, however, was just a laboratory experiment.

Since first originating in 2012, the MERS cases have been reported from 27 countries leading to a total 858 deaths, as per the World Health Organisation.

Dr Amit Singh, associate professor, Centre for Infectious Disease at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, said, “This particular virus has as much chance of jumping to humans as other bat viruses like Nipah did, there is nothing special about it. There are many infections in animals, not all jump to humans and there is no way of predicting anything. We know that there will be more infections in the future with increase in human-animal contact.”

Dr Jayprakash Muliyil, chairperson of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the National Institute of Epidemiology, said, “The chances of it jumping I would say is 0.001, which statistically means unlikely. We live with so many pathogens; there is no need to worry about it. It is good for those who want to scare people.”

LAWRENCE SELLIN: China’s Military May Be Making a New Human-Infecting Coronavirus Deadlier than COVID-19

By Joe Hoft
Published January 30, 2022 at 9:15am

China’s military may be making a new human-infecting coronavirus deadlier than COVID-19

China caused the COVID-19 pandemic by artificially manipulating the structure of a natural bat coronavirus to make it infectious to humans.

It appears that China is now repeating that process with a far deadlier coronavirus.

There was much concern expressed in the international media recently about a potentially more transmissible and more lethal coronavirus called “NeoCoV,” described in a January 25, 2022, scientific article published by Chinese scientists from Wuhan University.

NeoCoV is a member of a group of coronaviruses, one of which caused the 2012 Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) outbreak that killed 34% of the approximately 2,500 people it infected.

According to the Chinese authors, NeoCoV binds, not just to the bat DPP4 receptor found in most MERS coronaviruses, but also weakly binds to ACE2, which is the human receptor for the highly transmissible COVID-19 virus.

The Chinese scientists, at least one of which, Xiangxi Wang, has extensive links to China’s People’s Liberation Army, then proceeded to genetically engineer NeoCoV to increase its ability to infect humans.

Like the laboratory creation of COVID-19, Chinese scientists have again taken a coronavirus found in nature and artificially manipulated its structure to infect humans, but now with a virus capable of producing a 34% lethality rate compared to 1.6% for COVID-19.

NeoCoV is not a “new” virus, but was found in 2011 in Africa, and, therefore, is not an emerging disease threat to China.

It is becoming evident that China uses the threat of emerging viral diseases as a cover for its biowarfare program.

China appears to be using the same methodology for NeoCoV as was used in the laboratory creation of COVID-19.

From the beginning, COVID-19 appeared to be well-adapted, even “pre-adapted” for binding to human cells because it did not undergo the same mutation and adaptation to humans over time as did the SARS virus from the 2002-2004 pandemic. From the beginning, COVID-19 resembled a late-stage SARS-infection.

COVID-19 also binds to human cells 15-times better than the 2002-2004 SARS virus, which, unlike COVID-19, is believed to be a natural animal to human disease transmission.

What is far more disturbing and indicative of bioweapon development is the recent (January 2021) interest being shown by Chinese scientists in NeoCoV’s furin cleavage site.

Already in 2005, furin cleavage sites were known to increase both the transmissibility and pathogenicity of coronaviruses, including an ability to infect multiple human organ systems.

The increase in a coronavirus’ furin “score” is related to the number of basic amino acids in the sequence, as well as the three-dimensional structure and other chemical characteristics.

As a rule of thumb, however, two basic amino acids in the sequence are more effective than one and three are more effective than two.

What distinguishes COVID-19 from all the other bat coronaviruses from which it could have evolved are the multiple basic amino acids in its furin cleavage site.

COVID-19 has a five-times higher furin score than the 2002-2004 SARS virus, which has only a single basic amino acid in its furin cleavage site.

The artificial insertion of the furin polybasic cleavage site is the “smoking gun” evidence for the laboratory origin of COVID-19.

NeoCoV (Coronavirus Neoromicia/PML-PHE1/RSA/2011) has the lowest furin score within a group of similar coronaviruses.

No doubt, scientists in China’s fused military-civilian virus research program are conducting experiments to genetically-engineer a more effective furin cleavage site in NeoCoV and similar highly lethal coronaviruses.

Even without speculation, the information contained in the recently published Chinese NeoCoV article alone should be setting off alarm bells in the U.S. government and in the scientific community worldwide.

Spotify to Add Content Advisory Warning to Podcasts That Discuss Covid-19 After Biden Surgeon General Calls For Joe Rogan to be Censored

By Cristina Laila
Published January 30, 2022 at 6:15pm

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek on Sunday announced his company will be adding a content advisory warning to podcasts that discuss Covid-19.

The new advisory warning comes just one week after Joe Biden’s surgeon general called for Joe Rogan to be censored.

“We are working to add a content advisory to any podcast episode that includes a discussion about COVID-19. This advisory will direct listeners to our dedicated COVID-19 Hub, a resource that provides easy access to data-driven facts, up-to-date information as shared by scientists, physicians, academics and public health authorities around the world, as well as links to trusted sources. This new effort to combat misinformation will roll out to countries around the world in the coming days. To our knowledge, this content advisory is the first of its kind by a major podcast platform.” CEO Daniel Ek said in a statement.

Last week Biden’s Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy called for Rogan’s show to be censored.

Murthy complained that social media companies are not doing enough to ‘stop the spread’ of Covid misinformation before calling on Spotify to silence Joe Rogan.

“A critical part of how we get through this pandemic” is “limiting the spread of misinformation” from shows like Joe Rogan, Murthy said on Tuesday.

The Cult Of Safety

SUNDAY, JAN 30, 2022 - 08:30 PM
Authored by Thomas Buckley via the Point

It was the 1970s. Dry cleaning bags lurked quietly behind couches waiting patiently for the opportunity to pounce on the hapless child who dropped a Lego nearby. Unguarded five-gallon buckets stood brazenly in the middle of basement floors hoping to entice their next drowning victim. Discarded refrigerators prowled the land looking for unsuspecting eight-year-olds to gobble up. GI Joes and Barbies, with the help of their little owners, were making out everywhere.

It is the 2020s. Entire schools ban peanut butter and jelly sandwiches because maybe one kid might have an allergy. Parents get visits from county protective services for letting their children play unsupervised in the park across the street.

Jungle gyms are an endangered species. And third-graders are taught to not impose cisnormative constructs, let alone behaviors, on anyone or anything.


The odd thing is that the events described in the first paragraph (except the GI Joe one) were not actually happening on any grand scale. The sad thing is that the events in the second paragraph are.

There has to be a middle ground.

Admittedly there were children – one assumes - who did manage to trap themselves inside random refrigerators, hence the televised public service announcements (seriously, and such a seventies solution) asking the public to at least take the handle off of the appliance before heaving it over an embankment or leaving it in a burned-lot in the Bronx. And admittedly – again, one assumes – a child somewhere somehow managed to get themselves tangled up in a dry cleaning bag. As to the bucket problem, that one is rather hard to fathom but it must have happened at least once to spawn the lawsuit that forced manufacturers to put drowning warnings – complete with a graphic depiction of the inept toddler – on their buckets.

Whether it was caused by the misadventures of Darwin’s children, the ever-burgeoning personal injury litigation field, a cherry-picking sensationalist media, humanity’s inability to comprehend statistics or some combination thereof, society has clearly shifted drastically from a relatively laissez faire approach to common hazards to - not just a risk aversion or risk reduction model – the codified elimination of risk.

There was once a feeling that hard cases make bad law; it now appears that the concept that any case must make immediate law holds sway.

The process started with some actually pretty necessary common sense notions – drunk driving is not actually cool, dumping toxic waste in salmon brooks might not be a good thing, smoking really can kill you so quit, don’t eat lead paint, etc. But these were the easy bits and the organizations and forces behind their implementation soon came to realize that if people started to be more sensible in general, society’s need for their input, expertise, and services – their guiding hand – would by definition decrease.

Take, for example, the March of Dimes. Originally started as an effort to both find a vaccine against polio and to help those already stricken, the organization in the early 1960s was facing a dilemma. With the vaccines pretty much eradicating the disease, the group was faced with a choice: declare victory and essentially close up shop or continue forward and not waste the fundraising and organizational skills and capital they had built up over the previous 20-odd years. They chose the latter and continue to this day as a very well-respected and important group, leading various initiatives to fight numerous childhood maladies - just not polio.

In the March of Dimes case, they unquestionably made the right call and they continue to serve a vital function. But, respectfully, to state that there were no, shall we say, personal motivations involved in that decision strains credulity.

This pattern – whether with good and righteous intent or not - was and is being repeated over and over again as lesser people and groups actively search out something – anything – that could theoretically possibly be misused or can even remotely be deemed questionable (everything is questionable – all someone has to do is ask the question) to latch onto and save us from. Whether out of true concern or some other nefarious motive – power, profit, societal purchase – the inexorable march towards the bubble-wrap of today that was launched by the professional caring class continues all the way from the classroom to the living room to the newsroom to the board room.

Obviously, we can see this process in real time in the pandemic effort. From “two weeks to stop the spread” to fully vaccinated people being shame/told to wear two masks a year later, this continuing impact is a perfect example of a “gain of function” experimental research principle being implemented not in a lab but in society at large.

This form of – or bastardization of – progress is in fact antithetical to the tenets of a free society. By worshiping at the altar of the safe we denigrate, delay, and deny the myriad possibilities for human advancement that are inherent in the concept of risk.

It may seem to be a bit of leap to claim that the proposition that children should be warned to stop eating lead paint led inevitably to having children ask people what their preferred pronouns are so as to avoid even the semblance of giving offense, but this form of incrementalism – whether intentional or not – cannot be easily controlled once started.

And this is one slippery slope on which a Cuidado Piso Mojado sign is nowhere in sight.

Over 80% Of Americans Think They'll Be "Stuck With [COVID] Forever"

SUNDAY, JAN 30, 2022 - 01:45 PM

“It’ll become endemic and we’ll be stuck with it forever,” says 38-year-old Floridian Ryan Wilson.
“It’s frustrating, but what can you do about it?”

Many Americans agree that they’re going to “be stuck with it forever” - or, at the least, for a long time. A poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that few - just 15% - say they’ll consider the pandemic over only when COVID-19 is largely eliminated. By contrast, 83% say they’ll feel the pandemic is over when it’s largely a mild illness.

Overall, 45% approve of how Biden is handling the coronavirus pandemic and 54% disapprove.



Of course the partisan division is enormous, but most worryingly for Democrats is the lack of trust among so-called 'Independents'...



Shockingly, only 31% trust the president as a source of information about the vaccines, 24% have a moderate amount of trust and 46% have little or no trust.

The public is slightly more likely to believe information that comes from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Forty-four percent have a lot of trust, 24% are moderately trustful, and 33% have little or no trust in the CDC as a source of information on COVID-19 vaccines.

“I’ve switched to wearing N95 masks because I’m no longer confident in the regular cloth masks, and I hardly go out at all anymore,” says 36-year-old Minnesotan Colin Planalp.

“We’ve canceled travel plans. My son has been out of school for more than a week now and hopefully he’ll get to go back in a week. But who really knows?”

Planalp is not alone as the poll shows more Americans are taking precautionary measures against the virus than before the omicron surge.



Overall, 64% now say they are always or often avoiding large groups and 65% are wearing face masks around others, both up from 57% in December.

Sixty percent say they are regularly avoiding nonessential travel, up from 53% one month ago. That level of precaution is the highest since last spring, before millions of Americans were fully vaccinated.

In summary - two years of constant fearmongering, coercive threats, and division have left the American public less trusting of anything coming out of "experts" mouths, while at the same time elevated the dissonance between their perception of COVID's deadliness (especially for kids) and the reality of the virus risks to '11'... will we ever get back to normal?

Denmark Is First EU Country To Scrap All COVID Restrictions

SUNDAY, JAN 30, 2022 - 09:20 AM
Via 21stCenturyWire.com,

Later this week, England is scheduled to drop its problematic mask mandate for shops and public transport, along with its highly unpopular vaccine passport regime. Up north, Scotland says it will “relax” so-called ‘work from home guidance,’ and reopen nightclubs, as well as ending venue capacity limits.


While the UK and Ireland gingerly roll-back their highly disruptive COVID restriction policies, other European countries are now leading the way by scrapping the entire ‘pandemic’ regime altogether.

Financial Times reports…

Denmark said it would lift almost all Covid-19 restrictions and stop designating it a “societally critical” disease on Wednesday in the latest sign that western European countries are easing or even eradicating strict measures brought in to combat the Omicron coronavirus variant.

Magnus Heunicke, Denmark’s health minister, wrote to parliament on Wednesday saying that he would remove all Covid-19 restrictions on February 1, except for testing on arrival from abroad. Just as the Danish government did in September, when it lifted all restrictions, it will also stop calling Covid-19 a “societally critical disease”, meaning that it will no longer have the legal basis to introduce wide-ranging curbs.

“Tonight we can begin to lower our shoulders and find our smiles again,” said Mette Frederiksen, Danish prime minister, on Wednesday evening. “The pandemic is still here, but with what we know now, we can dare to believe we are through the critical phase.”

Denmark is the latest European country in recent days to announce it is dropping most or nearly all measures as it follows in the footsteps of the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands…

Meanwhile, mainstream media outlets like Politico report this latest development with the accompanied fear-mongering over the latest “subvariant” – allegedly on the loose:

The announcement comes as a new subvariant of Omicron, BA.2, is gaining a foothold in Denmark and driving infections up, with 46,000 new COVID-19 cases recorded on Wednesday.

“Recent weeks have seen very high infection rates, in fact the highest in the entire pandemic,” Frederiksen said. “Therefore, it may seem strange and paradoxical that we are now ready to let go of the restrictions.”

Some 82 percent of Denmark’s population is fully vaccinated with two doses, of whom 50 percent are boosted with a third dose, according to the Danish Health and Medicines Authority.

However, as the FT points out, with this alleged rise in “cases” (aka PCR positive tests) promoted in the media – there is no corresponding rise in serious illness as a result COVID-19:

Denmark still has one of the highest number of Covid-19 cases per capita in the world, currently more than 10 times its previous peak as Omicron causes tens of thousands of daily infections. But the number of patients in intensive care continues to fall and, even with Omicron, never hit the peaks reached from April 2020 and January 2021.

Elsewhere in Scandinavia, Sweden, Norway and Finland have all announced they will also be easing their restrictions in the coming weeks.

1.8 Million Italians over 50 Face Fines for Being Unvaccinated

Italians over the age of 50 who are unvaccinated could face fines and suspension from work as the country's vaccine mandate come into force.

Italians over the age of 50 who are unvaccinated could face fines and suspension from work as the country’s vaccine mandate come into force on the first of February,

Unvaccinated Italians over the age of 50, around 1.8 million people, face one-off fines of 100 euros (£83/$111) for being caught not having taken a coronavirus jab.

After February 15th, the fines will increase to between 600 (£499/$668) and 1,500 euros (£1,248/$1,671) for those who go to work without the “super Green Pass” health passport, which is only eligible to fully vaccinated people or those who have recovered from the Chinese coronavirus.

Around a million workers over the age of 50 also face being suspended from work if they cannot prove they have been fully vaccinated. Approximately 500,000 Italians aged 60 to 70 are said to not even have taken a single dose of the Wuhan coronavirus vaccine, Italian newspaper Il Giornale reports.

Broken down geographically, the regions with the most unvaccinated people over the age of 50 are in regions such as Sicily, Valle d’Aosta, Friuli Venezia-Giulia, and Sardinia, with unvaccinated levels ranging between eight and ten per cent.

When the mandate for vaccination was announced in early January, just over 2 million Italians over 50 were unvaccinated. Since then, just 320,000 are said to have taken the vaccine. The trend is said to have slowed in recent days, according to Il Giornale.

The new measures come as the Italian government has greatly increased the scope of the country’s Wuhan virus health pass system in recent weeks.

As of February 1st, Italians looking to access banks or post offices will be required to present a Green Pass, which will mean that pensioners looking to pick up their pensions in person will have to show the health pass in order to access their money.

The government has limited the number of shops considered essential and thereby can be accessed without a Green Pass, to just nine types of shops, such as supermarkets, petrol stations, pharmacies and select others.

COVID hits one of the last uninfected places on the planet

COVID hits one of the last uninfected places on the planet
By NICK PERRY and SAM METZJanuary 27, 2022

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — When the coronavirus began spreading around the world, the remote Pacific archipelago of Kiribati closed its borders, ensuring the disease didn’t reach its shores for nearly two full years.

Kiribati finally began reopening this month, allowing the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to charter a plane to bring home 54 of the island nation’s citizens. Many of those aboard were missionaries who had left Kiribati before the border closure to spread the faith abroad for what is commonly known as the Mormon church.

Officials tested each returning passenger three times in nearby Fiji, required that they be vaccinated, and put them in quarantine with additional testing when they arrived home.

It wasn’t enough.

More than half the passengers tested positive for the virus, which has now slipped out into the community and prompted the government to declare a state of disaster. An initial 36 positive cases from the flight had ballooned to 181 cases by Friday.

Kiribati and several other small Pacific nations were among the last places on the planet to have avoided any virus outbreaks, thanks to their remote locations and strict border controls. But their defenses appear no match against the highly contagious omicron variant.

“Generally speaking, it’s inevitable. It will get to every corner of the world,” said Helen Petousis-Harris, a vaccine expert at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. “It’s a matter of buying enough time to prepare and getting as many people vaccinated as possible.”

Only 33% of Kiribati’s 113,000 people are fully vaccinated, while 59% have had at least one dose, according to the online scientific publication Our World in Data. And like many other Pacific nations, Kiribati offers only basic health services.

Dr. Api Talemaitoga, who chairs a network of Indigenous Pacific Island doctors in New Zealand, said Kiribati had only a couple of intensive care beds in the entire nation, and in the past relied on sending its sickest patients to Fiji or New Zealand for treatment.

He said that given the limitations of Kiribati’s health system, his first reaction when he heard about the outbreak was, “Oh, my lord.”

Kiribati has now opened multiple quarantine sites, declared a curfew and imposed lockdowns. President Taneti Maamau said on social media that the government is using all its resources to manage the situation, and urged people to get vaccinated.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, based in the U.S. state of Utah, has a strong presence in many Pacific nations, including Kiribati, where its 20,000 members make it the third-largest Christian denomination. The church has about 53,000 missionaries serving full time around the world, working to convert people.

The pandemic has presented challenges for their missionary work, which is considered a rite of passage for men as young as 18 and women as young as 19.

As the pandemic ebbed and flowed, the church responded. It recalled about 26,000 missionaries who were serving overseas in June 2020, reassigning them to proselytize online from home before sending some back out into the field five months later.

When COVID-19 vaccines became widely available in many countries in April 2021, church officials encouraged all missionaries to get inoculated and required it of those serving outside their home countries.

Church spokesperson Sam Penrod said the returning missionaries remained in quarantine, were cooperating with local health authorities and would be released from their service upon completion of their quarantine.

“With Kiribati’s borders being closed since the onset of the pandemic, many of these individuals have continued as missionaries well beyond their 18 to 24 months of anticipated service, with some serving as long as 44 months,” he said.

Before this month’s outbreak, Kiribati had reported just two virus cases: crew members on an incoming cargo ship that ultimately wasn’t permitted to dock.

But the Kiribati charter flight wasn’t the first time missionaries returning home to a Pacific island nation tested positive for COVID-19.

In October, a missionary returning to Tonga from service in Africa was reported as the country’s first — and so far only — positive case after flying home via New Zealand. Like those returning to Kiribati, he also was vaccinated and quarantined.

Tonga is desperately trying to prevent any outbreaks as it recovers from a devastating volcanic eruption and tsunami earlier this month. The nation of 105,000 has been receiving aid from around the world but has requested that crews from incoming military ships and planes drop their supplies and leave without having any contact with those on the ground.

“They’ve got enough on their hands without compounding it with the spread of COVID,” said Petousis-Harris, the vaccine expert. “Anything they can do to keep it out is going to be important. COVID would be just compounding that disaster.”

In the long term, however, it is going to be impossible to stop the virus from entering Tonga or any other community, Petousis-Harris said.

Nearby Samoa, with a population of 205,000, is also trying to prevent its first outbreak. It imposed a lockdown through until Friday evening after 15 passengers on an incoming flight from Australia last week tested positive.

By Thursday, that number had grown to 27, including five front-line nurses who had treated the passengers. Officials said all those infected had been isolated and there was no community outbreak so far.

While the incursion of the virus into the Pacific has prompted lockdowns and other restrictions, there were signs that not all traditional aspects of island life would be lost for long.

“Government has decided to allow fishing,” Kiribati declared on Thursday, while listing certain restrictions on times and places. “Only four people will be allowed to be on a boat or part of a group fishing near shore.”

Beijing seals off more residential areas, reports 12 cases
By HUIZHONG WUyesterday

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Beijing officials said Sunday they had sealed off several residential communities north of the city center after two cases of COVID-19 were found.

The Chinese capital is on high-alert as it prepares to host the Winter Olympics opening Friday.

Another 34 cases were confirmed among athletes and others who have come for the Games, the organizing committee said. In all 211 people have tested positive among more than 8,000 who had arrived by the end of Saturday. They include a Swedish cross-country skier and a snowboarder from Slovenia.

Everyone coming for the Olympics is being isolated from the general public for the duration of their stay in China to try to prevent cross-infection.

Residents in the Anzhenli neighborhood in Beijing’s Chaoyang district were locked down on Saturday, and will not be allowed to leave their compound.

The city is also setting up 19 points in the area to test residents every day until Friday, officials said at a briefing on the pandemic, according to state-backed Beijing News.

While the number of cases is low compared to other countries in the region, China has doubled down on its “zero-tolerance” policy, which tries to break the chain of transmission as soon as it is found.

The Chinese capital reported a total of 12 cases of COVID-19 between 4 p.m. Saturday and 4 p.m. Sunday, said Pang Xinghuo, the vice head of the Beijing Center for Disease Prevention and Control. All those cases came from people who were already under some kind of pandemic control measures.

The city conducted multiple rounds of testing for millions of residents this past week in Fengtai district, where some residential compounds were locked down.

The participants in the Games stay in hotels that have been surrounded by temporary walls. They can come and go only in special vehicles that take them directly to the venues or other Olympics facilities. The public is not allowed to enter the hotel properties or the venues, though a limited number of spectators will be let in for the events.

Anyone who tests positive inside the Olympics bubble is isolated in a hospital or quarantine hotel to try to prevent the virus from spreading to other participants.

New Research Hints at 4 Factors That May Increase Chances of Long COVID

It is one of many mysteries about long COVID: Who is more prone to developing it? Are some people more likely than others to experience physical, neurological or cognitive symptoms that can emerge, or linger for, months after their coronavirus infections have cleared?

Now, a team of researchers who followed more than 200 patients for two to three months after their COVID diagnoses report that they have identified biological factors that might help predict if a person will develop long COVID.

The study, published Tuesday by the journal Cell, found four factors that could be identified early in a person’s coronavirus infection that appeared to correlate with increased risk of having lasting symptoms weeks later.

The researchers said they had found that there was an association between these factors and long COVID (which goes by the medical name post acute sequelae of COVID-19, or PASC) whether the initial infection was serious or mild. They said that the findings might suggest ways to prevent or treat some cases of long COVID, including the possibility of giving people antiviral medications soon after an infection has been diagnosed.

“It’s the first real solid attempt to come up with some biologic mechanisms for long COVID,” said Dr. Steven Deeks, a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not involved in the study.

He and other experts, along with the study authors, cautioned that the findings were exploratory and would need to be verified by considerably more research.

Still, Deeks said, “They’ve identified these four major factors. Each is biologically plausible, consistent with theories that other people are pursuing, and importantly, each is actionable. If these pathways get confirmed, we as clinicians can actually design interventions to make people better. That is the take-home message.”

One of the four factors researchers identified is the level of coronavirus RNA in the blood early in the infection, an indicator of viral load. Another is the presence of certain autoantibodies — antibodies that mistakenly attack tissues in the body as they do in conditions like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. A third factor is the reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus, a virus that infects most people, often when they are young, and then usually becomes dormant.

The final factor is having Type 2 diabetes, although the researchers and other experts said that in studies involving larger numbers of patients, it might turn out that diabetes is only one of several medical conditions that increase the risk of long COVID.

“I think this research stresses the importance of doing measurements early in the disease course to figure out how to treat patients, even if we don’t really know how we’re going to use all that information yet,” said Jim Heath, principal investigator of the study and president of the Institute for Systems Biology, a nonprofit biomedical research organization in Seattle.

“Once you can measure something, then you may be able to start doing something about it,” Heath said, adding: “We did this analysis because we know patients will go to physicians and they’ll say that they’re tired all the time or whatever, and the physician just tells them to get more sleep. That’s not very helpful. So, we wanted to actually have a way to quantify and say that there’s actually something wrong with these patients.”

The complex study had several components and involved dozens of researchers at several universities and centers including the Institute for Systems Biology, the University of Washington and Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, where the study’s lead medical author, Dr. Jason Goldman, is an infectious disease specialist.

The primary group of patients included 209 people, ages 18 to 89, who were infected with the coronavirus during 2020 or early 2021 and were seen at Swedish Medical Center or an affiliated clinic. Many were hospitalized for their initial infections, but some were seen only as outpatients. Researchers analyzed blood and nasal swabs when patients were diagnosed, during the acute phase of their infections and two to three months later.

They surveyed the patients about 20 symptoms associated with long COVID, including fatigue, brain fog and shortness of breath, and corroborated those reports with electronic health records, Heath said.

He said 37% of the patients had reported three or more symptoms of long COVID two or three months after infection. A further 24% reported one or two symptoms, and 39% reported no symptoms. Of patients reporting three or more symptoms, 95% had one or more of the four biological factors identified in the study when they were diagnosed with COVID-19, Heath said.

The most influential factor appeared to be autoantibodies, which were associated with two-thirds of the cases of long COVID, Heath said. Each of the other three factors showed up in about a third of the cases, he said, and there was considerable overlap, with several factors identified in some patients.

The researchers corroborated some of their findings in a separate group of 100 patients, many with mild initial infections, from research led by Dr. Helen Chu at the University of Washington. The researchers also compared their results to data from 457 healthy people.

“The study is large and comprehensive and is a great resource for the community studying long COVID,” said Akiko Iwasaki, an immunologist at Yale, who was not involved in the research.

Dr. Avindra Nath, who is chief of the section on infections of the nervous system at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and was not involved in the study, called the study well designed but pointed out several weaknesses, including the fact that patients had been followed for only two to three months. “This might be too short a time frame,” he said. “Some might just improve spontaneously with time.”

Iwasaki noted that 71% of the patients in the primary group had been hospitalized, limiting the ability to conclude that the biological factors were equally relevant for people with mild initial infections.

One persuasive conclusion, several experts said, was the suggestion that because patients with high viral loads early on often developed long COVID, giving people antivirals soon after diagnosis might help prevent long-term symptoms.

“The quicker one can eliminate the virus, the less likelihood of developing persistent virus or autoimmunity, which may drive long COVID,” Iwasaki said.

That some patients had reactivated Epstein-Barr virus also made sense, Nath said, because other diseases have reawakened that virus, and its reactivation has been linked to conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome, which some cases of long COVID resemble, and multiple sclerosis. Deeks said it might be possible to give antivirals or immunotherapy to patients with reactivated Epstein-Barr virus.

There were other intriguing findings that experts said needed more substantiation. One was a suggestion that because people with lingering respiratory problems had low levels of the stress hormone cortisol, they might benefit from cortisol replacement therapy, which Heath said some doctors were already trying.

In another finding that he said might provide a way to document that patients’ neurological symptoms resulted from long COVID, the blood of people with lingering neurological issues contained elevated levels of proteins associated with disrupted circadian rhythms and sleep/wake cycles.

One patient in the study’s primary group was John Gillotte, 40, a software engineer who contracted the coronavirus in March 2020. He was on a ventilator for about six days, after which he experienced delirium in the hospital when he closed his eyes.

“I saw the devil, who was like 50 feet tall, screaming at me, throwing limbs that he dismembered off of other people,” recalled Gillotte, who later had an image of the demon tattooed on his right arm, with depictions of hell below and heaven above to symbolize his progress from illness to recovery.

Gillotte, who moved from Seattle to Manhattan last year, said that for several months after his infection, he experienced muscle weakness, lack of stamina, brain fog that impaired his concentration at work, an altered sense of smell and the perception that most food tasted like ashes.

He said that before COVID, he had a spontaneous ability to visualize specific colors with certain foods — pink when he sprinkled pepper, blue with a type of liquor — but now, he is dismayed to have lost those automatic connections.

Gillotte said he doesn’t have diabetes and didn’t know if he had the other three factors because researchers said the study protocol prevented them from disclosing data about participants.

Heath, however, noted that Gillotte had been reinfected with the coronavirus in October 2020, which might reflect one theory that emerged from their study: that patients with higher levels of autoantibodies had lower levels of protective antibodies against the coronavirus, possibly making them more vulnerable to reinfection.

Deeks said lower protective antibody levels could also be a pathway leading to long-term symptoms. “If you don’t have a good antibody response, you don’t clear the virus; you have more virus around, and that leads to more long COVID,” he said.

Still, Heath said that overall, the research had showed that the four biological factors intersected and overlapped, suggesting that there might be relatively straightforward ways to forestall long COVID early on. Months later, “all these vague symptoms are so hard to track down, because you’ve sort of lost that information, but if you look back when those symptoms are first triggered, it actually looks like it’s manageable.”

The Pressure Campaign on Spotify to Remove Joe Rogan Reveals the Religion of Liberals: Censorship

All factions, at certain points, succumb to the impulse to censor. But for the Democratic Party's liberal adherents, silencing their adversaries has become their primary project.

Glenn Greenwald on Substack, January 29, 2022.

Glen is absolutely on the most important voices out there right now. Consider subscribing to his substack please.

Below is a taste of the article:

To start:

American liberals are obsessed with finding ways to silence and censor their adversaries. Every week, if not every day, they have new targets they want de-platformed, banned, silenced, and otherwise prevented from speaking or being heard (by "liberals,” I mean the term of self-description used by the dominant wing of the Democratic Party).

For years, their preferred censorship tactic was to expand and distort the concept of "hate speech” to mean "views that make us uncomfortable,” and then demand that such “hateful” views be prohibited on that basis. For that reason, it is now common to hear Democrats assert, falsely, that the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech does not protect “hate speech." Their political culture has long inculcated them to believe that they can comfortably silence whatever views they arbitrarily place into this category without being guilty of censorship.

The article concludes with:
In sum, censorship — once the province of the American Right during the heydey of the Moral Majority of the 1980s — now occurs in isolated instances in that faction. In modern-day American liberalism, however, censorship is a virtual religion. They simply cannot abide the idea that anyone who thinks differently or sees the world differently than they should be heard. That is why there is much more at stake in this campaign to have Rogan removed from Spotify than whether this extremely popular podcast host will continue to be heard there or on another platform. If liberals succeed in pressuring Spotify to abandon their most valuable commodity, it will mean nobody is safe from their petty-tyrant tactics. But if they fail, it can embolden other platforms to similarly defy these bullying tactics, keeping our discourse a bit more free for just awhile longer.

UPDATE: Spotify caved…








A Public Health Reckoning Is Coming
The last two years will reveal our expert class to be anything but objective, honest, and competent.

American Greatness, By Alex Story

January 29, 2022

The postmortem of the last two years is sure to begin now in earnest. We will thereby be confronted by failure on an epic scale, orchestrated by our expert class.

Nationally and internationally, too many extreme decisions were made in too short a period by too few people with far too little reflection on the broader impact upon society.

In pushing for their preferred remedies of lockdowns, mask mandates, social distancing—as well as flirting with vaccine passports and mandates—our experts intervened like never before in the proper functioning of a free society.

They have made themselves the inevitable target of future investigations and potential retribution.

Israel- Let’s look at some numbers.

"This database shows a thousand plus percent increase in diseases of the nervous system in one year. We know that hasn't anything to do with COVID because if it was COVID you would have seen a bump in 2020. There was no bump in 2020. It wasn't until 2021. We see a 300 percent increase in cancer. There's no question. That bump wasn't there in 2020. They forced this jab. People are getting sick. People are dying. They knew . . . it was killing people and injuring people. There was no question about it. They've known it for well over a year . . .

SC Seeks to Make Inquiries on Vax Status a Misdemeanor

'The bill would impose steep penalties, including up to a $14,000 fine and/or up to one year in prison... '
By Joshua Paladino
January 26, 2022

(Joshua Paladino, Headline USA) Several South Carolina Republican state lawmakers have introduced legislation that would impose misdemeanor-level fines or prison sentences on businesses that inquire into a customer’s COVID-19 vaccination status, The Blaze reported.

South Carolina state Rep. Mike Burns introduced H.B. 4848, which would make it illegal for an “employee, officer, agent, or other representative of a public, nonprofit, or private entity” to ask patrons about personal medical information.

“Your private health information is still your private health information,” Burns said, adding that private companies have no more right to it than the government, Truthout reported.

The bill would impose steep penalties, including up to a $14,000 fine and/or up to one year in prison.

Burns said private companies, including health insurance agencies, have used information about a person’s COVID-19 injection status to punish them for failing to get the shots.

“We have people in South Carolina that are losing their jobs because they have to report to their employer that they’re unvaccinated,” Burns said. “We also have people who are having their insurance rates put in a different category.

“They’re charging up to an extra $100 a week more than the vaccinated people,” he added. “It is absolutely insane to do this kind of thing.”

Burns noted several other health conditions about which neither private companies nor governments can legally inquire.

“I’m your employer, and I asked you if you’re pregnant, I can’t do that,” Burns said. “I can’t ask you if you’re thinking about getting pregnant.”

Four other Republican state representatives have sponsored the bill.

Burns further explained the double-standard regarding health care privacy and the COVID-19 shots.

“I can’t ask you if you got STDs or HIV,” he said. “I can’t ask any of those private medical questions, but somehow it’s alright to terminate people’s employment because I didn’t take this emergency-use-only vaccine. This is ridiculous.”

Moderna Vaccine finally approved by FDA…
Posted by Kane on January 31, 2022 3:41 pm



The Food and Drug Administration on Monday granted full approval to Moderna’s Covid vaccine. The full approval for people ages 18 and older was based on follow-up data showing “high efficacy and favorable safety data approximately six months after the second dose.” The mRNA injection had already been available since December 2020 under an emergency use authorization. FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock said she hoped the move gives some people additional confidence in the vaccine.

“The public can be assured that Spikevax meets the FDA’s high standards for safety, effectiveness and manufacturing quality required of any vaccine approved for use in the United States,” she said in a statement. “While hundreds of millions of doses of Moderna Covid Vaccine have been administered to individuals under emergency use authorization, we understand that for some individuals, FDA approval of this vaccine may instill additional confidence in making the decision to get vaccinated.”

Joe Rogan Exposes COVID Censorship Campaign: ‘Dangerous Misinformation’ Has Become ‘Fact,’ Vaccinated ‘Can Still Catch COVID-19’

By Alicia Powe
Published January 31, 2022 at 7:45am

Joe Rogan addressed the controversy surrounding the so-called “dangerous,” “misinformation” he has reportedly disseminated about COVID-19 and Covid vaccines.

Rogan, whose audience is 10 times larger than CNN’s best primetime show, discussed the attempt to censor and target him following his interviews with renowned doctors, Peter McCullough and Robert Malone.

“First of all, to say, thank you to everyone that sent love and support, I truly truly appreciate it and it’s been very nice to hear from you,” the host of The Rogan Experience said in a video published Sunday. “I want to make this video first of all, because I think there’s a lot of people that have a distorted perception of what I do, maybe based on sound bites or based on headlines of articles that have disparaging.

“The podcast is been accused of spreading ‘dangerous,’ ‘misinformation’ specifically about two episodes, a little bit about some other ones, but specifically about two. One with Dr. Peter McCullough and one with Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Peter McCullough is a cardiologist and he is the most published physician in his field in history. Dr. Robert Malone, owns nine patents on the creation of mRNA vaccine technology and is at least partially responsible for the creation of the technology that led to mRNA vaccines. Both these people are very highly credentialed, very intelligent, very accomplished people and they have an opinion that it’s different from the mainstream narrative.”

WATCH:
Rumble video 9:43 min

Facts, information, even debating opinions about Covid and Covid vaccination is “labeled dangerous misinformation.” But every claim that is censored, refuted and attacked by the Covid-vaccine pushing regime has been accurate and demonstrably true, Rogan warned.

“I wanted to hear what [McCullough and Malone’s] opinion is. I had them on and because of that,” he said. “Those episodes, in particular — were labeled as being ‘dangerous,’ they had ‘dangerous misinformation in them. The problem I have with the term ‘misinformation,’ especially today, is that many of the things that we thought of as misinformation, just a short while ago, are now accepted as fact.”

Rogan called attention to the outright lies the Covid enterprises tried to coerce the public into accepting as fact:

For instance, eight months ago, if you said, ‘If you get vaccinated, you can still catch Covid and you could still spread Covid,’ you’d be removed from social media. They would, they would ban you from certain platforms. Now, that’s accepted as fact.

If you said, ‘I don’t think cloth masks work,’ you would be banned from social media. Now, that’s openly repeatedly stated on CNN.

If you said, ‘I think it’s possible that Covid-19 came from a lab,’ you’d be banned from many social media platforms. Now, that’s on the cover of Newsweek.

All of those theories that, at one point were banned, were openly discussed by those two men that I had on my podcast that have been accused of dangerous misinformation. I do not know if they’re right, I don’t know because I’m not a doctor. I’m not a scientist. I’m just a person. I am just a person that sits down and talks to people and has conversations with them.

Do I get things wrong? Absolutely, I get things wrong but I try to correct them whenever I get something wrong, I try to correct it because I am interested in telling the truth, I’m interested in finding out what the truth is. And I am interested in having interesting conversations with people that have different opinions.

Along with experts warning about the hazards of experimental gene therapy, Rogan pointed out that he has also had proponents of Covid-vaccines and guests with a myriad of viewpoints on his show:

I’m not interested in only talking to people that have one perspective, that’s one of the reasons why I had Sanjay Gupta on Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who I respect very much, and I really enjoyed our conversation together. He has a different opinion than those men do. I had Dr. Michael Osterholm on, at the very beginning of the pandemic. He is on President Biden’s covid-19 advisory board.

I had Dr. Peter Hotez on, who is a vaccine expert. I’m interested in finding out. what is correct and fine. I’m also finding out how people come to these conclusions and what the facts are.

On Wednesday, Spotify Technology S.A. announced it would remove left-wing rocker Neil Young’s music from its platform. Days prior, Young gave Spotify an ultimatum, warning the platform to blacklist Rogan and his popular podcast or take down his music.

Spotify Is Removing Neil Young's Music After Singer Gave Ultimatum for Platform to Choose Him or Joe Rogan | The Gateway Pundit | by Cassandra MacDonald | 70

Spotify is removing Neil Young’s music after the singer demanded that they remove Joe Rogan’s podcast or his songs.

www.thegatewaypundit.com

Spotify co-founder Daniel Ek issued a statement on Sunday outlining the platform’s plan to add a “content advisory” to all hosted content involving “discussion about COVID-19.”

“We are working to add a content advisory to any podcast episode that includes a discussion about COVID-19. This advisory will direct listeners to our dedicated COVID-19 Hub, a resource that provides easy access to data-driven facts, up-to-date information as shared by scientists, physicians, academics and public health authorities around the world, as well as links to trusted sources,” the update on Spotify’s website states. “This new effort to combat misinformation will roll out to countries around the world in the coming days. To our knowledge, this content advisory is the first of its kind by a major podcast platform.””

Rogan supports Spotify’s new policy and pledged to use his platform to showcase “balance” and “controversial viewpoints”:

One of the things that Spotify wants to do that I agree with is that the beginning of these controversial podcasts, like specifically ones about Covid, is to put a disclaimer and say that you should speak with your physician and that these people and the opinions that they express are contrary to the opinions of the consensus of experts, which I think is very important. Sure have that on there. I’m very happy with that.
…
The podcast started off as just ****ing around with my friends and having fun and talking and then when it became popular, other people wanted to come on and I was like, ‘Oh it’d be cool to talk to that person,’ ‘Oh, he’s interesting,’ ‘Oh, she’s got a cool book out.’ And then boom. It’s become what it is today which is like some outer control juggernaut that I barely have control of.

So my pledge to you is that I will do my best to try to little balance out these more controversial viewpoints with other people’s perspectives so we can maybe find a better point of view. I don’t want to just show the contrary opinion to what the narrative is, I want to show all kinds of opinions so that we can all figure out what’s going on — and not just about covet about everything about health, about fitness wellness, the state of the world itself. It’s a strange responsibility to have this many viewers and listeners. It’s very strange and it’s nothing that I prepare for and it’s nothing that I ever anticipated. I am going to do my best in the future, to balance things out. I’m going to do my best, but my point of doing this is always just to create interesting conversations and ones that I hope people enjoy.

Ironically, Rogan is a longtime fan of Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, another musician who demanded Spotify ban Rogan for presenting facts about Covid vaccines:

I’ve always been a Neil Young fan. When I was 19. I was a security guard at a place called Great Woods in Mansfield. Massachusetts. It’s a an outdoor concert amphitheater and Neil Young is playing there and there was the last day I worked there. I quit during the Neil Young concert.
…
And definitely no hard feelings towards Joni Mitchell. I love her too. I love her music, Chucky’s and loves a great song. I don’t know what else I can do differently other than maybe try harder to get people with differing opinions on right afterward. I do think that that’s important and and do my best to make sure that I have researched these topics that the controversial ones in particular and have all the pertinent facts at hand before I discuss them. Again, I’m not trying to promote misinformation, I’m not trying to be controversial. I’ve never tried to do anything with this podcast other than just talk to people and have interesting conversations. I didn’t plan it. I can’t believe it’s as successful as it is, it was never really an idea that I had.

I have a serious question.

I have told about friend who had young adult friend get Covid and then have drastic change in behavior.

I am not a Dr nor do I play one on TV and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

There has been reports of rising mental health issues in youth and young adults.

What if the issue’s are not all because of lockdowns, isolation and restrictions. What if some or most of what we are seeing is being created by Covid or the combination of Covid and Covid vaccine impacted biochemistry, or Covid and current medications. Either the Covid stuff either alone or in combination is affecting the brain and just like some who are ill with Covid talk about brain fog or difficulty with concentration. I find it sad that I don’t see a lot of discussion of Covid possibility impacting the brain.

My recent fight with Omnicron took almost 3 weeks from start to finish and included trouble concentrating, trying to focus on a screen and losing focus and everything going blurry. My later symptoms lasting over a week had very little to do with respiratory system.

Unfortunately with Fauci in DC as health dictator no science, as in question research evaluate is allowed to happen

But I think the story of Covid, Covid vaccines and the long term impact may take a decade to really understand, if at all.
