Based on the available scientific evidence and current clinical experience, the SPR Collaboration recommends that physicians and authorities consider the following covid-19 treatment protocol for the prophylactic and early treatment of people at high risk or high exposure.

Numerous international studies have shown that prophylactic and early treatment can significantly reduce the risk of severe and fatal covid-19 (see scientific references below).

Note: Patients are asked to consult a doctor.

Treatment protocol

Prophylaxis

Goal: Supporting immune system, reducing viral load if infected.

  1. Vitamin D3 (2000 IU per day)
  2. Vitamin C (500mg per day)
  3. Zinc (20mg to 30mg per day)
  4. Quercetin (250mg per day)
  5. Mouthwashes and nasal spray

Early treatment (*)

Goal: Preventing disease progression (anti-viral, anti-thrombotic, anti-inflammatory).

  1. Zinc (75mg to 100mg per day)
  2. Quercetin (500mg per day)
  3. Aspirin (325mg per day)*
  4. Bromhexine (48mg per day)*
  5. Arginine (3g to 5g per day)
  6. Artemisia annua (tea/powder)
  7. Mouthwashes and nasal spray

Prescription only

Goal: Preventing or reversing disease progression.

  1. High-dose calcifediol*
  2. Sulodexide (LMW heparin)
  3. Fluvoxamine or cyproheptadine*
  4. Steroids: Budesonide or prednisone*
  5. Anti-androgen treatment
  6. Amantadine
  7. Ivermectin (see below)

Novel drugs

Goal: Targeted anti-viral treatment.

  1. Monoclonal antibodies
  2. Paxlovid (Pfizer)
  3. Molnupiravir (Merck)*

(*) Notes

  • The early treatment phase includes post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).
  • Bromhexine is available prescription-free in most of Europe, but not in the US.
  • Steroids and cyproheptadine are only used if respiratory symptoms develop.
  • Molnupiravir (the Merck pill) is not a recommended treatment (see below).
  • Counterindications and maximum dosages must be observed for all drugs.
  • On hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), see Severe covid: A postviral autoimmune attack

General notes

The early treatment of patients as soon as the first typical symptoms appear and even without a PCR test is essential to prevent progression of the disease. In contrast, isolating infected high-risk patients at home and without early treatment until they develop serious respiratory problems, as often happened during lockdowns, may be counterproductive.

People at high risk living in an epidemically active area should consider prophylactic treatment together with their doctor. The reason for this is the long incubation period of covid (up to 10 days): when patients first notice that they contracted the disease, the viral load is already at a maximum and there are often only a few days left to react with an early treatment intervention.

Early treatment based on the above protocol is intended to avoid hospitalization. If hospitalization nevertheless becomes necessary, it is recommended to avoid invasive ventilation (intubation) whenever possible and to use oxygen therapy (HFNC) instead.

Treatment studies

Results of trials and studies on the early treatment of covid.

Ivermectin

Ivermectin (an antiparasitic drug) has anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties.

  • Several controlled and observational studies on ivermectin found anti-viral and anti-inflammatory effects and a significant reduction in covid morbidity and mortality.
  • However, several positive ivermectin studies turned out to be unreliable or fraudulent.
  • Once low-quality studies are excluded from the analysis, the benefit of ivermectin is no longer statistically significant, although a moderate benefit might still be possible.
  • Read more: The Ivermectin Debate (SPR)
Zinc and quercetin

Zinc inhibits RNA polymerase activity of coronaviruses and thus inhibits virus replication. Quercetin (a plant polyphenol) supports the cellular absorption of zinc and has additional anti-viral properties.

  • A Spanish study found that low plasma zinc levels (below 50mcg/dl) increased the risk of in-hospital death of covid patients by 130%.
  • US studies found an 84% decrease in hospitalizations and a 45% decrease in mortality based on risk-stratified early treatment with zinc and HCQ.
  • A US case study reported a rapid resolution of covid symptoms, such as shortness of breath, based on early outpatient treatment with high-dose zinc.
  • An Italian randomized trial found a significantly reduced hospitalization rate and mortality in covid patients receiving quercetin.
Bromhexine

Bromhexine (a mucolytic cough medication) inhibits the expression of cellular TMPRSS2 protease and thus the entry of the virus into the cell, as first described in 2017.

  • A randomized Iranian trial with 78 patients found a decrease in intensive care treatments of 82%, a decrease in intubations of 89%, and a decrease in deaths of 100%.
  • A Chinese trial found a 50% reduction in intubations in patients receiving bromhexine.
  • A Russian study found a faster recovery in hospitalized patients receiving bromhexine.
  • A Russian prophylaxis study found a reduction in symptomatic covid from 20% to 0%.
Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 supports and improves the immune system response to infections.

  • A Spanish randomized controlled trial found a 96% reduction in the risk of requiring intensive care in patients receiving high-dose vitamin D (100,000 IU).
  • Another Spanish study with 930 hospitalized patients found a 87% reduction in ICU treatment and a 79% reduction in mortality in patients receiving high-dose vitamin D.
  • A study in a French nursing home found an 89% decrease in mortality in residents who had received high-dose vitamin D either shortly before or during covid-19 disease.
  • A retrospective British study of approximately 1000 hospitalized covid patients found an 80% reduction in mortality with high-dose vitamin D.
  • A large Israeli study found a strong link between vitamin D deficiency and covid-19 severity.
  • For an overview of all covid-19 vitamin D studies, see here.
Aspirin and heparin

Aspirin and heparin have anti-platelet and anti-thrombotic effects.

  • A meta-study including 15,000 patients found a reduction in covid mortality of 53% in patients who were receiving aspirin as early or prophylactic treatment.
  • A study published in PLOS One found a reduction in covid mortality at 30 days from 10.5% (control group) to 4.3% (with aspirin) in 70,000 US veterans taking aspirin.
  • A retrospective US study with 400 patients found a reduction in ICU treatments by 43% and a reduction in mortality by 47% in the group of patients treated early with aspirin.
  • A Mexican randomized controlled trial found a 40% reduction in hospitalization in patients receiving sulodexide (a heparin combination).
Arginine

Arginine is an amino acid supporting endothelial function, immune regulation, and tissue repair.

  • A small randomized controlled trial, published in The Lancet E-Clinical Medicine, found that hospitalized covid patients receiving 3g of arginine per day had a significantly reduced need of respiratory support at 10 days and a significantly shorter length of hospitalization.
  • A metabolomic analysis in covid ICU patients, published in Critical Care Explorations, found that low levels of arginine very strongly predicted the risk of death.
  • A report published in PNAS found that plasma arginine and arginine bioavailability were significantly lower in adult and pediatric covid patients compared to controls.
  • See also: l-Arginine and COVID-19: An Update (Nutrients, November 2021)
Artemisia annua (tea, powder, or extract)

Artemisia annua plant extract has known antimalarial and antiviral properties.

  • An in vitro study by the German Max Planck Institute, published in Nature Scientific Reports, found artemisia annua to be effective against SARS-CoV-2 at realistic doses.
  • An in vitro study by US researchers, published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, found artemisia annua hot-water extracts to be effective against SARS-CoV-2 replication.
  • In a small clinical trial, published in Antimicrobial Agents, the viral load decreased significantly faster in covid patients treated with artemisinin-piperaquine.
  • In a 2005 in vitro study, published in Antiviral Research, artemisia annua was already identified as effective against the original SARS-1 virus.
  • In Madagascar, the first country to apply artemisia annua extract against covid, covid mortality and excess mortality have remained very low, even for African standards.
  • In a simulation study by a Harvard research group, the anti-malaria drug amodiaquine was identified as most effective against SARS-CoV-2 replication.
Mouthwashes and nasal sprays

Mouthwashes and nasal sprays target the initial infection and viral replication.

  • Several small studies found that mouthwashes (gargling) based on povidone-iodine and nasal sprays based on povidone-iodine or nitric oxide may prevent a coronavirus infection or reduce its duration or symptoms (more about this).
  • The German Society for Hospital Hygiene (DGKH) recommends anti-viral mouthwashes and nasal sprays for prophylaxis and early treatment.
  • Some observers argued that traditional nasal rinsing and gargling practices in South East Asia may have helped successfully limiting coronavirus infections in these countries.
  • Israel started mass production of nasal sprays based on nitric oxide in early 2021.
Anti-androgen treatment

Anti-androgen treatment inhibits the expression of the TMPRSS2 cellular protease used by SARS-CoV-2, which is driven by androgen hormones (i.e. male sexual hormones).

  • A first randomized, double-blinded and placebo-controlled trial in Brazil found that proxalutamide reduced hospitalization rates in male patients by 91%.
  • Another randomized, double-blinded and placebo-controlled trial in Brazil found that proxalutamide reduced mortality in hospitalized patients (male and female) by 78%.
  • However, the two Brazilian trials have been criticized by other researchers.
  • Previous studies found that men receiving anti-androgens – typically used against prostate cancer or hair loss – were at a much lower risk of severe covid.
Fluvoxamine and Cyproheptadine

These drugs inhibit serotonin-induced pulmonary vasoconstriction.

  • The TOGETHER trial found that fluvoxamine outpatient treatment of covid patients reduced disease progression (hospitalizations or ER visits) significantly by 32%.
  • The results of two preliminary US trials indicate that early treatment with fluvoxamine may strongly reduce the risk of severe covid, hospitalization and death.
  • In a small US case study, cyproheptadine rapidly improved the condition of hospitalized covid patients
  • Fluvoxamine and cyproheptadine target serotonin metabolism and serotonin-induced pulmonary vasoconstriction, which according to emerging evidence may be a key mechanism driving severe covid and covid-related respiratory failure.
  • Fluvoxamine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and reduces platelet serotonin concentration; cyproheptadine is a direct serotonin receptor antagonist. In addition, fluvoxamine is a sigma-1 receptor antagonist and has an anti-inflammatory effect.
Corticosteroids

Corticosteroids (e.g. prednisone, budesonide) reduce covid-related inflammation.

  • A study by the University of Oxford, published in the Lancet, found a significant reduction in urgent care visits and hospitalizations in patients receiving budesonide (an asthma drug).
  • The British PRINCIPLE trial found that budesonide accelerated recovery by 3 days and reduced hospitalizations and deaths from 10.3% to 8.5%.
  • The early outpatient treatment protocol developed by McCullough et al. recommends the use of prednisone if (and only if) covid-related respiratory symptoms develop.
Amantadine

Amantadine is a medication used against influenza and some neurological conditions.

  • A Danish study, published in December 2021 in Nature communications biology, showed that amantadine inhibits two of the four ion channels of SARS-CoV-2.
  • A study by the German Robert Koch Institute (RKI), published in March 2021 in Viruses, showed that amantadine inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication in cell culture. However, according to the RKI the required dose can only be achieved via inhalation.
  • A small Polish observational study, published in December 2021 by Medpress, found that covid patients receiving amantadine had a low hospitalization rate.
  • A small Polish study, published in July 2020, found that patients receiving amantadine against neurological conditions had mostly asymptomatic covid.
Monoclonal antibodies, Molnupiravir, Paxlovid

These novel drugs have direct anti-viral properties.

  • Monoclonal antibodies have been shown to be effective in early treatment but ineffective in the treatment of already hospitalized patients (post-viral phase). In addition, monoclonal antibodies rapidly lose efficacy against new viral variants.
  • Plasma from convalescents has been shown to be ineffective in both early and late treatment of covid patients.
  • Molnupiravir (Merck) has a questionable efficacy record. In addition, the mechanism of action is potentially DNA-toxic and may promote dangerous mutations of the virus. French health authorities rejected authorization of the drug.
  • Paxlovid (Pfizer) directly inhibits viral replication and, according to initial data, has been shown to be very effective in early treatment (reducing hospitalizations and deaths in at-risk groups by nearly 90%). Paxlovid, however, will not be available until mid-2022.

A) Studies on the effectiveness of face masks

So far, most studies found little to no evidence for the effectiveness of face masks in the general population, neither as personal protective equipment nor as a source control.

  1. A May 2020 meta-study on pandemic influenza published by the US CDC found that face masks had no effect, neither as personal protective equipment nor as a source control. (Source)
  2. A Danish randomized controlled trial with 6000 participants, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine in November 2020, found no statistically significant effect of high-quality medical face masks against SARS-CoV-2 infection in a community setting. (Source)
  3. A large randomized controlled trial with close to 8000 participants, published in October 2020 in PLOS One, found that face masks “did not seem to be effective against laboratory-confirmed viral respiratory infections nor against clinical respiratory infection.” (Source)
  4. A February 2021 review by the European CDC found no high-quality evidence in favor of face masks and recommended their use only based on the ‘precautionary principle’. (Source)
  5. A July 2020 review by the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine found that there is no evidence for the effectiveness of face masks against virus infection or transmission. (Source)
  6. A November 2020 Cochrane review found that face masks did not reduce influenza-like illness (ILI) cases, neither in the general population nor in health care workers. (Source)
  7. An August 2021 study published in the Int. Research Journal of Public Health found “no association between mask mandates or use and reduced COVID-19 spread in US states.” (Source)
  8. A July 2021 experimental study published by the American Institute of Physics found that face masks reduced indoor aerosols by at most 12%, not enough to prevent infections. (Source)
  9. An April 2020 review by two US professors in respiratory and infectious disease from the University of Illinois concluded that face masks have no effect in everyday life, neither as self-protection nor to protect third parties (so-called source control). (Source)
  10. An article in the New England Journal of Medicine from May 2020 came to the conclusion that face masks offer little to no protection in everyday life. (Source)
  11. A 2015 study in the British Medical Journal BMJ Open found that cloth masks were penetrated by 97% of particles and may increase infection risk by retaining moisture or repeated use. (Source)
  12. An August 2020 review by a German professor in virology, epidemiology and hygiene found that there is no evidence for the effectiveness of face masks and that the improper daily use of masks by the public may in fact lead to an increase in infections. (Source)

For a review of studies claiming face masks are effective, see section G) below.

B) 2019 WHO review of face mask trials

In September 2019, shortly before the coronavirus pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) published a comprehensive report on “Non-pharmaceutical public health measures for mitigating the risk and impact of epidemic and pandemic influenza”.

The report reviewed ten randomized controlled trials concerning the effectiveness of face masks against influenza-like illness (ILI). As the following table shows, none of the trials found a statistically significant benefit of face masks.

C) Development of cases after mask mandates

In many states, coronavirus infections strongly increased after mask mandates had been introduced. The following charts show the typical examples of Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain, the UK, California and Hawaii. Furthermore, a direct comparison between US states with and without mask mandates indicates that mask mandates have made no difference. (Charts: Y. Weiss)

For an updated version of these charts, see the postscript below.

D) Effectiveness of N95/FFP2 mask mandates

In January 2021, the German state of Bavaria was one of the first places in the world to mandate N95/FFP2 masks in most public settings. A comparison with other German states, which required cloth or medical masks, indicates that even N95/FFP2 masks have made no difference.

E) Additional aspects

  1. There is increasing evidence that the novel coronavirus is transmitted, at least in indoor settings, not only by droplets but primarily by smaller aerosols. However, due to their large pore size and poor fit, most face masks cannot filter out aerosols (see video analysis below): over 90% of aerosols penetrate or bypass the mask and fill a medium-sized room within minutes.
  2. The WHO admitted to the BBC that its June 2020 mask policy update was due not to new evidence but “political lobbying”: “We had been told by various sources WHO committee reviewing the evidence had not backed masks but they recommended them due to political lobbying. This point was put to WHO who did not deny.” (D. Cohen, BBC Medical Corresponent).
  3. To date, the only randomized controlled trial (RCT) on face masks against SARS-CoV-2 infection in a community setting found no statistically significant benefit (see above). However, three major journals refused to publish this study, delaying its publication by several months.
  4. An analysis by the US CDC found that 85% of people infected with the new coronavirus reported wearing a mask “always” (70.6%) or “often” (14.4%). Compared to the control group of uninfected people, always wearing a mask did not reduce the risk of infection.
  5. Researchers from the University of Minnesota found that the infectious dose of SARS-CoV-2 is just 300 virions (virus particles), whereas a single minute of normal speaking may generate more than 750,000 virions, making face masks unlikely to prevent infection.
  6. Contrary to common belief, studies in hospitals found that the wearing of a medical mask by surgeons during operations didn’t reduce post-operative bacterial wound infections in patients.
  7. Many health authorities argued that face masks suppressed influenza; in reality, influenza was temporarily displaced by the more infectious coronavirus. Indeed, influenza disappeared even in states without masks, lockdowns and school closures (e.g. Sweden and Florida).
  8. The initially low coronavirus infection rate in some Asian countries was not due to masks, but due to very rapid border controls. For instance, Japan, despite its widespread use of face masks, had experienced its most recent influenza epidemic just one year prior to the covid pandemic.
  9. Early in the pandemic, the advocacy group “Mask for All” argued that Czechia had few infections thanks to the early use of masks. In reality, the pandemic simply hadn’t reached Eastern Europe yet; a few months later, Czechia had one of the highest infection rates in the world.
  10. During the notorious 1918 influenza pandemic, the use of face masks among the general population was widespread and in some places mandatory, but they made no difference.

F) The facemask aerosol issue

In the following video, Dr. Theodore Noel explains the facemask aerosol issue.https://videopress.com/embed/4egEyh2b?hd=1&cover=1&loop=0&autoPlay=0&permalink=1

G) Studies claiming face masks are effective

Some recent studies argued that face masks are indeed effective against the new coronavirus and could at least prevent the infection of other people. However, most of these studies suffer from poor methodology and sometimes show the opposite of what they claim to show.

Typically, these studies ignore the effect of other measures, the natural development of infection rates, changes in test activity, or they compare places with different epidemiological conditions. Studies performed in a lab or as a computer simulation often aren’t applicable to the real world.

An overview:

  1. A meta-study in the journal Lancet, commissioned by the WHO, claimed that masks “could” lead to a reduction in the risk of infection, but the studies considered mainly N95 respirators in a hospital setting, not cloth masks in a community setting, the strength of the evidence was reported as “low”, and experts found numerous flaws in the study. Professor Peter Jueni, epidemiologist at the University of Toronto, called the WHO study “essentially useless”.
  2. A study in the journal PNAS claimed that masks had led to a decrease in infections in three global hotspots (including New York City), but the study did not take into account the natural decrease in infections and other simultaneous measures. The study was so flawed that over 40 scientists recommended that the study be withdrawn.
  3. A US study claimed that US counties with mask mandates had lower Covid infection and hospitalization rates, but the authors had to withdraw their study as infections and hospitalizations increased in many of these counties shortly after the study was published.
  4. A German study claimed that the introduction of mandatory face masks in German cities had led to a significant decrease in infections. But the data did not support this claim: in some cities there was no change, in others a decrease, in others an increase in infections (see graph below). The city of Jena was an ‘exception’ only because it simultaneously introduced the strictest quarantine rules in Germany, but the study did not mention this.
  5. A review by the University of Oxford claimed that face masks are effective, but it was based on studies about SARS-1 and in health care settings, not in community settings.
  6. A review by members of the lobby group ‘Masks for All’, published in the journal PNAS, claimed that masks are effective as a source control against aerosol transmission in the community, but the review provided no real-world evidence supporting this proposition.
  7. A study published in Nature Communications in June 2021 claimed that masks reduced the risk of infection by 62%, but the study relied on self-reported online survey results and various modelling assumptions, not on actual measurements.
  8. A large study run in Bangladesh claimed that face masks “reduced symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections” by 0.08% (ARR) and only in people over 50. The study was designed and organized so poorly that it “ended before it even began”, according to one reviewer.
  9. A meta-study published in the BMJ claimed face masks reduced infections by 53%, but the meta-study was based on seven low-quality observational studies. In response, the BMJ published an editorial acknowledging the “lack of good research” and the implausibility of the result.
  10. A German study, published in PNAS, claimed that N95/FFP2 masks are highly effective against coronavirus infections, but the study consisted only of a mathematical model without any real-world or lab data (see section D above).

The annex of the German Jena study showed that face masks weren’t effective:

Mandatory masks in German cities: no relevant impact. (IZA 2020)

H) Risks associated with face masks

Wearing masks for a prolonged period of time may not be harmless, as the following evidence shows:

  1. The WHO warns of various “side effects” such as difficulty breathing and skin rashes.
  2. Tests conducted by the University Hospital of Leipzig in Germany have shown that face masks significantly reduce the resilience and performance of healthy adults.
  3. A German psychological study with about 1000 participants found “severe psychosocial consequences” due to the introduction of mandatory face masks in Germany.
  4. The Hamburg Environmental Institute warned of the inhalation of chlorine compounds in polyester masks as well as problems in connection with face mask disposal.
  5. The European rapid alert system RAPEX has already recalled over 100 mask models because they did not meet EU quality standards and could lead to “serious risks”.
  6. A study by the University of Muenster in Germany found that on N95 (FFP2) masks, Sars-CoV-2 may remain infectious for several days, thus increasing the risk of self-contamination.
  7. In China, several children who had to wear a mask during gym classes fainted and died; autopsies found a sudden cardiac arrest as the probable cause of death. In the US, a car driver wearing an N95 (FFP2) mask fainted and crashed due to CO2 intoxication.

Video: A mask-wearing, 19-year-old US athlete collapsed during an 800-meter run (April 2021):https://www.youtube.com/embed/AmEzfG3uJX8?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent

Conclusion

Face masks in the general population might be effective, at least in some circumstances, but there is currently little to no evidence supporting this proposition. If the coronavirus is indeed transmitted via indoor aerosols, face masks are unlikely to be protective. Thus, health authorities should not assume or suggest that face masks will reduce the rate or risk of infection.

Postscript (August 2021)

A long-term analysis shows that infections have been driven primarily by seasonal and endemic factors, whereas mask mandates and lockdowns have had no discernible impact (charts: IanMSC).

The latest unbiased facts on covid vaccine safety and effectiveness.

Please note: No medical advice; patients are asked to consult a doctor.

Covid vaccine effectiveness

During 2021, covid vaccines may have saved several hundred thousand lives by mitigating the impact of the covid waves in spring (Alpha), summer (Delta) and early winter (also Delta). This can easily be seen by comparing countries with a high vaccination rate to countries with a low vaccination rate (e.g. Western Europe to Eastern Europe), or by comparing the impact of covid waves before and after vaccination in countries with a high vaccination rate (see chart below).

Importantly, prior to the winter wave of 2021/22, only about 20% to 50% of people in Western Europe and most US states had developed natural (i.e. infection-acquired) immunity against covid. In Latin America, parts of Africa (including South Africa) and parts of Asia (e.g. India), about 50% to 80% had developed natural immunity. In some of these regions, the displaced flu has already returned.

Much lower covid deaths in high-vaccination EU countries:

Lower covid deaths in high-vaccination EU countries (Financial Times)

However, covid vaccine protection turned out to be waning rather quickly: prior to the most recent immune-evasive mutation (omicron), protection against infection and transmission decreased to zero within about half a year, whereas protection against severe disease and death in senior citizens decreased from about 95% to about 50% within 6 to 9 months (see next chart).

With omicron, protection against symptomatic infection has been reduced to just a few weeks, while protection against severe disease remains uncertain. Fortunately, there are indications that omicron really is somewhat milder than previous variants, even in people without prior infection. Never­the­less, omicron highlights the inherent limitations of a global vaccination campaign.

Studies that claimed more durable vaccine protection typically combined several time frames (e.g. January to August instead of just August) or age groups (vaccine protection is more durable in younger people, but their covid risk is also much lower). An example of the latter is the Qatar study, whose participants had a median age of just 31 years; in participants older than 60, protection against severe disease had fallen to 60% within 7 months, but this was only shown in the annex.

Vaccine protection against infection and severe disease (all age groups):

Vaccine protection symptomatic infection and severe disease (Nordstroem et al)

Since autumn 2021, several countries reported a negative vaccine effectiveness against infection, that is, vaccinated people had a higher infection rate than unvaccinated people. In countries like the UK, negative vaccine effectiveness reached up to minus 100% in some age groups (i.e. vaccinated people had double the infection rate compared to unvaccinated people; see next chart). In response, several countries simply stopped publishing this somewhat embarrassing data.

The most likely explanation for this observation is a catch-up effect: for several months after vaccination, vaccinated people had a lower infection rate than unvaccinated people. As a result, there were more “recovered” people among the unvaccinated than among the vaccinated. Once vaccine protection had declined, infections among vaccinated people started catching up.

A more troubling explanation for negative vaccine effectiveness against infection, proposed by some skeptics, would be some kind of negative immune effect. For instance, it is known that covid vaccination can cause a temporary immune suppression (lymphocytopenia) that can last for up to a week and possibly longer, and that likely plays a role in the well-documented post-vaccination spike in coronavirus infections. It is also known that vaccinated people, once infected, develop only a partial immune response (no anti-N antibodies), which might increase their risk of re-infection.

However, data from the UK and elsewhere shows that a vaccine booster dose temporarily restores vaccine protection against infection, although again only for a few months, or even just a few weeks against the immune-evasive omicron variant (see chart below). Nevertheless, this temporarily restored protection appears to support the “catch-up hypothesis”.

Claims of negative vaccine effectiveness against severe disease and death (i.e. covid vaccines making covid worse), promoted by some hardcore vaccine skeptics, have currently no basis in reality (they were based on statistical effects and age-group differences).

However, such a negative effectiveness, which would point to antibody-dependent disease enhancement (ADE) or negative antigenic priming (OAS), cannot be totally ruled out against future coronavirus variants, due to the short-term nature of covid vaccine trials.

Vaccine injuries

Covid vaccines have been shown to cause, in “rare cases”, severe and fatal cardiovascular, neurological, immunological and metabolic adverse events (see an updated overview of severe covid vaccine adverse events). More recently, covid vaccines have been associated with various auto-immune diseases, tumor growth and cancer, and new-onset diabetes and diabetic ketoacidosis.

The US VAERS system currently shows about 20,000 post-vaccination deaths, of which about 10,000 from the US itself. Previous studies showed that passive surveillance systems (like VAERS) capture only about 5% to 20% of adverse events, while a recent study found that about 80% of post-vaccination deaths reported to VAERS had plausibly been caused by covid vaccines.

Thus, it is conceivable that covid vaccines may already have caused, or triggered, about 100,000 deaths globally. The WHO VigiAccess database, which combines several national databases, currently shows about 3 million reported covid post-vaccination adverse events, of which about 85,000 severe adverse events and close to 20,000 deaths (more on excess mortality below).

While covid itself primarily affects senior citizens and other high-risk groups, covid vaccine injuries may affect anybody, including young and healthy people and even people who already had covid, sometimes without even noticing it (about 30% of infections remain asymptomatic). Thus, the recommendation and decision to vaccinate against covid should reasonably be age and risk-based.

Post-vaccination deaths reported to the US VAERS system since 1990:

Concerning heart inflammation (myocarditis and pericarditis), a recent comprehensive analysis by researchers at the University of Oxford found that in males between 16 and 39 years of age, the risk of myocarditis after vaccination was significantly higher than after coronavirus infection (see next chart). In particular, this was the case after the second and third dose of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine, after the first and second dose of the high-dosed Moderna mRNA vaccine, and even after the second dose of the AstraZeneca DNA vaccine.

Since covid vaccines provide no significant protection against “long covid” (which requires only a mild infection), one may conclude that for healthy and lean adolescents and adults below the age of 40, especially males, the risk/benefit ratio of covid vaccines looks rather unfavorable. Indeed, this is also the conclusion that Dr. Doran Fink, deputy director of the US FDA vaccines division, appears to have reached during a recent advisory committee hearing (at 6h28m30s).

If subclinical (i.e. unrecognized) cases of myocarditis are taken into account, the risk of myocarditis after two-dose mRNA vaccination in young males reaches about 1 in 1000, a figure confirmed by recent studies from Hong Kong and from Ontario (table 3). In this regard, Austrian pharmacology professor Dr. Hartmut Glossmann, one of the most cited Austrian scientists in the world, described the vaccination of young people as “the biggest medical scandal” he has ever witnessed.

(In young women, the risk of post-vaccination myocarditis is about ten times lower than in young men; in people over 40, acute myocarditis is no longer a major risk. The cause of these differences is not yet understood; it may be due to muscle blood flow or hormonal factors.)

In a recent letter to the British Medical Journal, a group of doctors, including Dr. Peter Gøtzsche, wrote: “For young age groups, in whom covid-related morbidity and mortality is low, and for those who have had covid infection already, and appear to have longstanding immunological memory, the harms of taking a vaccine are almost certain to outweigh the benefits to the individual, and the goal of reducing transmission to other people at higher risk has not been demonstrated securely.”

Indeed, the issue of post-vaccination heart inflammation appears to be closely linked to the unprecedented increase in heart problems, sudden cardiac arrest and even sudden cardiac death observed in athletes during recent months. The online platform Good Sciencing has compiled a comprehensive list that includes already 405 athlete collapses and 237 athlete deaths, showing a strong increase since about May 2021. In recent weeks, several top players per week have been affected, some of whom had to end their career (see image at the top of this analysis).

The Wikipedia list of “association footballers who died while playing” currently shows 21 players who died in 2021, which is about two to three times as many as in previous years.

From a medical perspective, there are two conceivable explanations for this observation. The first explanation is that most of these athletes had recently been vaccinated and had a subclinical (unnoticed) acute heart inflammation when they collapsed while exercising. The solution to this is to pause exercising for a few weeks after vaccination, which is indeed recommended in some countries.

The more troubling explanation – a kind of “canary in the coal mine” scenario – would be that many of these athletes had been vaccinated months ago and developed chronic heart damage that caused heart failure or sudden cardiac arrest during high-intensity exercise. Previous cell culture and animal studies showed that the coronavirus spike protein alone, which is produced by covid vaccines, can severely damage heart muscle cells and endothelial cells (i.e. veins and arteries).

If this is the case, it is likely that many more people (i.e. non-athletes) may be affected by this issue and may develop acute heart problems or other cardiovascular issues later on (e.g. when exercising or simply climbing stairs). The solution to this would be to absolutely avoid intravenous vaccine injection, or indeed to stop covid vaccinations in the general population altogether.

As a matter of fact, there are already quite a few “anecdotal” cases of young and healthy people who suffered a stroke or other cardiovascular issues several months after vaccination (see e.g. here and here). German pathologists who investigated 15 post-vaccination deaths found “clear evidence of vaccine-induced autoimmune-like pathology in multiple organs.”

Athlete cardiac arrests – increase in 2021:

Athlete cardiac arrests – increase in 2021 (Good Sciencing)

Already, several countries have stopped DNA adenovector vaccines (J&J, AstraZeneca) due to blood clotting issues, while several other countries stopped the high-dosed Moderna mRNA vaccine due to the increased risk of myocarditis in young people (especially males). Even the second dose of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine has been stopped for adolescents in some Asian countries.

The Canadian province of Quebec decided to stop booster vaccinations of senior citizens who had previously been infected after an increase in life-threatening booster vaccine reactions had been observed (previously also reported in Germany and in Israel). In general, it is known that covid vaccine-related risks increase with additional doses, and the mRNA lipid nano-particles themselves are known to cause toxicity if injected repeatedly over several months or years. Even US vaccine expert and FDA advisor Dr. Paul Offit spoke out against “boosting everyone”.

Concerning children younger than 12, several countries (e.g. Finland) decided against a general recommendation to vaccinate them, while some other countries (e.g. the USA) approved a low-dose Pfizer mRNA vaccine for this age group. By early December, about 5 million US children aged 5 to 11 had received a first dose of the Pfizer vaccine (i.e. about 20% of children in this age group).

The US VAERS system currently shows about 7000 reported adverse events in children aged 5 to 11, including about 100 serious adverse events, such as myocarditis, stroke, allergic reactions and neurological disorders (see this compilation). Given under-reporting and reporting backlogs, the true figure of serious vaccine adverse events in young children may already be in the hundreds.

Nevertheless, the US CDC director recently argued that she has “not yet seen any safety signal”; previously, an FDA advisory committee member acknowledged that “we’re never going to learn about how safe this vaccine is [in children] unless we start giving it.”

Meanwhile, the risk of severe covid in children has turned out to be even lower than previously thought, as at least one quarter of US coronavirus-positive child deaths were shown to be entirely unrelated to covid. Indeed, in US male adolescents, there were about ten times more suicides than covid deaths in 2020.

Concerning post-vaccination miscarriages, still births and birth defects, there are several “anecdotal” reports of possibly vaccine-related incidents, especially concerning cardiac anomalies and pulmonary hemorrhage (bleeding lungs), but no reliable statistical evidence yet. The US VAERS system currently counts about 3,300 post-vaccination miscarriages, and tens of thousands of British women have reported post-vaccination menstrual disorders.

In Scotland, an investigation has been launched to determine the cause of a significant increase in deaths of newborns during September. Besides the vaccination of pregnant women, a simultaneous RSV respiratory virus summer wave might also be a possible explanation.

Scotland: Increase in neonatal deaths in September:

Scotland: Increase in neonatal deaths (Scotland Herald)

Finally, several countries have recorded an unexplained excess mortality in the wake of covid mass vaccination campaigns. This was first noticed in Israel in the spring of 2021 (in parallel to a “murky wave of heart attacks”). Over the summer, Britain recorded several thousand non-covid excess deaths, mainly due to cardiovascular events. Moreover, Britain recorded excess deaths in adolescent males, but not females, in parallel to the vaccination campaign in this age group (see next chart).

Since September, Germany has been recording an unexplained and unprecedented non-covid excess mortality of several thousand people. More recently, Spain has been reporting a similar unexplained excess mortality. In Switzerland, using mainly the high-dosed Moderna vaccine, a significant non-covid excess mortality has been recorded in parallel to the ongoing booster campaign.

(The Moderna vaccine has three times the mRNA dose of the Pfizer vaccine; thus, after three vaccinations, the total mRNA dose is nine single Pfizer doses, without providing any substantial medical advantage. In medicine, the dose of a drug should never be higher than necessary.)

Nevertheless, this excess mortality effect is not observed in every country (e.g. not in Nordic countries) and may be due to factors other than vaccination (e.g. pandemic and lockdown-related effects). For instance, in the US, drug overdose deaths and teen suicides have reached record levels.

On the other hand, there are also cases of noted vaccine skeptics (or even virus skeptics) that later died of covid, as the website Sorry Antivaxxer shows. Besides a certain age, the most apparent commonality of these cases seems to be obesity, a known covid risk factor in the non-elderly population. Whether vaccination would have saved them remains an open question, of course.

Vaccine passports

Since covid vaccines do not confer meaningful protection against infection and transmission, and the risk of severe covid is very low for large parts of the general population, “vaccine passports” and covid vaccine mandates have no medical or epidemiological justification.

Indeed, countries and US states using “vaccine passports”, such Israel, France, Italy and New York, have recently reported record new coronavirus infection rates.

Thus, pressuring people into getting vaccinated (e.g. through a “no jab, no job” scheme) must be seen as a major medical crime and a crime against humanity, especially given the ignored superiority of natural immunity and well-documented vaccine-related health risks, as described above.

Instead, it appears plausible that “vaccine passports” are being promoted primarily for strategic purposes, as a precursor to digital biometric identity systems (read more).

Conclusion

1) In 2021, covid vaccines likely saved several hundred thousand lives, but they may also have caused or triggered about 100,000 deaths and many more injuries globally.

2) Covid vaccine protection, initially very high, decreases substantially within about half a year and it collapsed against the immune-evasive, but apparently milder omicron variant.

3) The risk of covid vaccine injuries increases with additional booster doses, and several countries have already suspended various covid vaccines partially or completely.

4) For healthy and lean adults below 40 years of age, as well as for healthy children and adolescents, the risk/benefit ratio of covid vaccination does not appear to be favorable.

5) “Vaccination passports” and covid vaccination mandates have no medical or epidemio­logical justification. Coercing people into getting vaccinated must be seen as a crime against humanity.

6) Ultimately, the covid pandemic will be ended not by vaccination, which cannot prevent transmission, but by widespread natural immunity, already achieved in several parts of the world.

Postscript

1) Are covid vaccines part of a “global depopulation agenda”?

Some critics argue or suspect that covid vaccines may in fact be part of a global depopulation agenda, orchestrated by billionaires like Bill Gates in order to meet challenges posed by dwindling natural resources, climate change and the fourth industrial revolution.

Such a vaccine-related depopulation agenda could be achieved by either increasing global mortality (e.g. via heart disease) or by reducing global female (or male) fertility.

With regards to the former, if covid vaccines should turn out to dramatically increase the long-term risk of cardiovascular disease and heart failure, this could indeed increase global mortality, even in non-senior citizens, but it may primarily increase morbidity (i.e. disease).

With regards to the latter, it is true that “birth-control vaccines” exist (they produce antibodies against pregnancy hormones). Furthermore, there are credible reports that in 2014, three biochemistry labs in Nairobi found such anti-fertility components in the tetanus vaccine administered as part of a WHO vaccination campaign in Kenya (see ‘fact check’).

Currently, there is evidence that covid vaccines may impact menstruation and possibly pregnancy and neonatal health (if vaccinated during pregnancy), but there is not yet any evidence that covid vaccines permanently impact female (or male) fertility.

Similarly, there is clear evidence that covid vaccines increase the short-term risk of cardiovascular adverse events (see above), but there is not yet solid evidence that they may have a long-term impact on cardiovascular health, although this cannot be excluded.

2) Are covid vaccines “vaccines”? Or “gene therapy”? Or both?

Are covid vaccines “vaccines”? Yes, because they induce an antibody immune response.

But didn’t the Merriam-Webster dictionary have to change its definition of “vaccine” in January 2021 to include covid vaccines? Yes, but their previous definition was outdated and wrong: it referred to a “preparation of killed microorganisms, living attenuated organisms, or living fully virulent organisms”, which didn’t include toxoid vaccines (like the tetanus vaccine) or protein-based vaccines (like the hepatitis B vaccine) or of course mRNA or DNA vaccines (like some of the covid vaccines).

But covid vaccines don’t provide lasting protection, so aren’t they more of a drug than a vaccine? The flu vaccine and some other vaccines don’t provide lasting protection, either. The “vaccine” definition is about the mode of action, not about the medical success.

Are covid mRNA and DNA vaccines “gene therapy”? Yes, mRNA and DNA vaccines have always been regarded as an application of gene therapy, simply because they are based on genetic technology (DNA or mRNA). The European Union even had to suspend some of its GMO regulations to fast-track covid vaccine development and manufacturing.

If covid vaccines are gene therapy, do they alter the human genome? They are not intended to do so. In fact, gene therapy as a whole initially consisted primarily of “gene replacement therapy”, not “gene editing therapy”: a “defective gene” (e.g. in case of cancer) is being replaced by providing the cell with a functioning gene copy as DNA (which is then translated into RNA) or directly as mRNA (which is then translated into protein), without editing the human genome. Only more recent technologies like CRISPR have made it possible to directly edit the human genome.

However, although not intended, both mRNA and DNA vaccines (and the coronavirus itself) could, under certain circumstances, insert genetic material into the human genome, but this has not yet been shown to actually happen with covid vaccines.

In conclusion, covid vaccines are both vaccines and gene therapy, but are not intended to alter the human genome, and so far haven’t been shown to alter the human genome.

Fully referenced facts about covid-19, provided by experts in the field, to help our readers make a realistic risk assessment. (Regular updates below).

“The only means to fight the plague is honesty.” (Albert Camus, 1947)

Overview

  1. Lethality: According to the latest immunological studies, the overall infection fatality rate (IFR) of covid in the general population is about 0.1% to 0.5% in most countries, which is most closely comparable to the medium influenza pandemics of 1936, 1957 and 1968.
  2. Vaccines: Real-world studies have shown a very high, but rapidly declining covid vaccine effectiveness against severe disease. Vaccination cannot prevent infection and transmission. Various severe and fatal vaccine adverse events have been reported, including in young people. A prior infection generally confers superior immunity compared to vaccination.
  3. Treatment: For people at high risk or high exposure, early or prophylactic treatment is essential to prevent progression of the disease. According to numerous international studies, early outpatient treatment of covid may significantly reduce hospitalizations and deaths.
  4. Age profile: The median age of covid deaths is over 80 years in most Western countries (78 in the US) and about 5% of the deceased had no serious preconditions. The age and risk profile of covid mortality is therefore comparable to normal mortality, but increases it proportionally.
  5. Nursing homes: In many Western countries, about 50% of all covid deaths have occurred in nursing homes, which require targeted and humane protection. In some cases, care home residents died not from the coronavirus, but from weeks of stress and isolation.
  6. Excess mortality: Overall, the pandemic has increased mortality by 5% to 25% in most Western countries. In some countries, up to 30% of additional deaths have been caused not by covid, but by indirect effects of the pandemic and lockdowns (including drug overdose deaths).
  7. Antibodies: By the end of 2020, between 10% and 30% of the population in most Western countries had coronavirus antibodies. In India and some Latin American countries, coronavirus infection prevalence reached up to 75% by the summer of 2021.
  8. Symptoms: About 30% of all infected persons show no symptoms. Overall, about 95% of all people develop at most mild or moderate symptoms and do not require hospitalization. Early outpatient treatment may significantly reduce hospitalizations.
  9. Long covid: Up to 10% of symptomatic people experience post-acute or long covid, i.e. covid-related symptoms that last several weeks or months. Long covid may also affect younger and previously healthy people whose initial course of disease was rather mild.
  10. Transmission: Indoor aerosols appear to be the main route of transmission of the coronavirus, while outdoor aerosols, droplets, as well as most object surfaces appear to play a minor role. The coronavirus season in the northern hemisphere usually lasts from November to April.
  11. Masks: There is still little to no scientific evidence for the effectiveness of face masks in the general population, and the introduction of mandatory masks couldn’t contain or slow the epidemic in most countries. If used improperly, masks may increase the risk of infection.
  12. Children and schools: In contrast to influenza, the risk of disease and transmission in children is rather low in the case of covid. There was and is therefore no medical reason for the closure of elementary schools or other measures specifically aimed at children.
  13. Contact tracing: A WHO study of 2019 on measures against influenza pandemics concluded that from a medical perspective, contact tracing is “not recommended in any circumstances”. Contact tracing apps on cell phones have also proven ineffective in most countries.
  14. PCR tests: The highly sensitive PCR test kits may in some cases produce false positive or false negative results or react to non-infectious virus fragments from a previous infection. In this regard, the so-called cycle threshold or ct value is an important parameter.
  15. Virus mutations: Similar to influenza viruses, mutations occur frequently in coronaviruses. Most of these mutations are insignificant, but some of them may increase the transmissibility, virulence or immune evasion of the virus to some extent.
  16. Lockdowns: In contrast to early border controls, lockdowns have had no significant effect on the pandemic. According to the UN, lockdowns may put the livelihood of 1.6 billion people at acute risk and may push an additional 150 million children into poverty.
  17. Sweden: In Sweden, covid mortality without lockdown has been comparable to a strong influenza season and somewhat below the EU average. About 50% of Swedish deaths occurred in nursing homes and the median age of Swedish covid deaths was about 84 years.
  18. Media: The reporting of many media has been unprofessional, has increased fear and panic in the population and has led to a hundredfold overestimation of the lethality of the coronavirus. Some media even used manipulative pictures and videos to dramatize the situation.
  19. Virus origin: The origin of the new coronavirus remains unknown, but the best evidence currently points to a covid-like pneumonia incident in a Chinese mine in 2012, whose virus samples were collected, stored and researched by the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). Due to cooperations, some US labs may also have had access to these viruses.
  20. Surveillance: NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden warned that the coronavirus pandemic may be used to expand global surveillance. Many governments have restricted fundamental rights of their citizens and announced plans to introduce digital biometric vaccine passports.

9/11: What 17 Years of Lies Have Done to Us (Richard Dolan Intelligent Disclosure)

.

Thank you Mr. Dolan for continuing to get the truth about 9/11 out there. It’s just a matter of time before youtube starts taking down all truth videos. I have been a flight attendant for a major airline for 29 years. I was working on that tragic day. Once we had landed, I went to our employee breakroom where many of us were discussing all of the cellphone calls that were made. Cellphones to this day do not work at altitude. And remember, in 2001 we were just getting flip phones. We were immediately told by our management to drop the subject or we would be terminated. To this day in our yearly training, we are not allowed to discuss 9/11 to any extent. Please keep up your excellent work, and please be careful out there. God bless you. Rob Rudd

2021-12-20 Archbishop Viganò’s startling warning to the American people

Posted on January 5, 2022 by mekorganic

Archbishop Viganò’s startling warning to the American people

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò is a noteworthy maverick within the Catholic Church hierarchy.  He retired as papal nuncio to the United States in 2016 and has exposed what he sees as great scandals within his Church.  This lengthy Wikipedia entry provides background.

The archbishop has issued a Christmas letter to the United States that is unusually blunt about what he sees as a conspiracy underlying the handling of COVID.  Archbishop Vigano first shared this message with John Wells on Ark Midnight’s The Fortnight Intelligence Briefing. The letter was then published in Gateway Pundit but is presented here for readers’ convenience.


Abp. Viganò in 2013 as papal nuncio to the United States.
White House Image/Lawrence Jackson — http://www.state.gov

DEAR AMERICAN PEOPLE, DEAR FRIENDS, for two years now, a global coup has been carried out all over the world, planned for some time by an elite group of conspirators enslaved to the interests of international high finance. This coup was made possible by an emergency pandemic that is based on the premise of a virus that has a mortality rate almost analogous to that of any other seasonal flu virus, on the delegitimization and prohibition of effective treatments, and on the distribution of an experimental gene serum which is obviously ineffective, and which also clearly carries with it the danger of serious and even lethal side effects. We all know how much the mainstream media has contributed to supporting the insane pandemic narrative, the interests that are at stake, and the goals of these groups of power: reducing the world population, making those who survive chronically ill, and imposing forms of control that violate the fundamental rights and natural liberties of citizens. And yet, two years after this grotesque farce started, which has claimed more victims than a war and destroyed the social fabric, national economies, and the very foundations of the rule of law, nothing has changed in the policies of Nations and their response to the so-called pandemic.

Last year, when many still had not yet understood the gravity of the looming threat, I was among the first to denounce this coup, and I was promptly singled out as a conspiracy theorist. Today more and more people are opening their eyes and beginning to understand that the emergency pandemic and the”ecological emergency” are part of a criminal plan hatched by the World Economic Forum, the UN, the WHO, and a galaxy of organizations and foundations that are ideologically characterized as clearly anti-human and — this needs to be said clearly — anti-Christian.

One of the elements that unequivocally confirms the criminal nature of the Great Reset is the perfect synchrony with which all the different Nations are acting, demonstrating the existence of a single script under a single direction. And it is disconcerting to see how the lack of treatment, the deliberately wrong treatments that have been given in order to cause more deaths, the decision to impose lock downs and masks, the conspiratorial silence about the adverse effects of the so-called “vaccines” that are in fact gene serums, and the continuous repetition of culpable errors have all been possible thanks to the complicity of those who govern and the institutions. Political and religious leaders, representatives of the people, scientists and doctors, journalists and those who work in the media have literally betrayed their people, their laws, their Constitutions, and the most basic ethical principles.

In the second part of Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò warning, he delivers the diatribe of a true rightwing Catholic on how Democrats stole the 2020 election from Trump. That it is only the Democrats who are part of the evil deep state along with certain other religious groups instigating an evil coup on America. The laws of “his” God and “his’ iterpetation of God’s Laws are above all man-made laws. A few excerpts:

How was it possible to arrive at such a betrayal? How have we come to be considered enemies by those who govern us, not in support of the common good, but rather to feed a hellish machine of death and slavery?

The answer is now clear: throughout the world, in the name of a perverted concept of freedom, we have progressively erased God from society and laws. We have denied that there is an eternal and transcendent principle, valid for all men of all times, to which the laws of States must conform. ………..

That it is absolutely impossible to hope for the end of this global tyranny if we continue to remove from the Kingdom of Christ the nations that belong to Him and must belong to Him. For this reason, the movement to overturn Roe v. Wade also acquires a very important meaning, since respect for the sacredness of unborn life must be sanctioned by positive law if it is to be a mirror of the Eternal Law.

Journalists claim alternative Covid-19 news has been ‘censored’ to create ‘one official narrative’ Original article source

July 26, 2021

By Charlotte Tobitt

Covid censorship

Almost 30 journalists have banded together to object to “censorship” and “fearmongering” about Covid-19 that they say has been put out by the media and tech giants since the pandemic began.

The group, who have called themselves Holding the Line: Journalists Against Covid Censorship, have argued that attempts to share concerns counter to the “one official narrative” or “one ‘scientific truth’” have led to reporters being criticised by their managers, freelances being blacklisted, and the public receiving a “distorted view of the truth”.

However Fiona Fox, chief executive of the Science Media Centre which she set up to help improve coverage of science stories in the UK, disagreed with many of the group’s claims. “On the whole the media coverage of Covid-19 has been exemplary and something about which the science and health correspondents should be celebrated for some time to come,” she said.

The 26 Holding the Line members work across UK newspaper groups, broadcasters and PR, as staffers and freelances.

Most asked to remain anonymous to protect their employment, but some were happy to be named, including broadcast producer and former BBC journalist Tony Gosling, two investigative journalists who write for The Conservative Woman, Sonia Elijah and Karen Harradine, and PR and tech journalist Laura Berrill.

They said they want to encourage best practice, create a “prejudice-free” environment for journalists who have concerns, raise awareness of lesser-reported issues, and raise concerns about “censorship” from tech giants like Youtube which take down coronavirus “misinformation”.

They said the media in general was doing “incredible work”.

However they did list some perceived failures, including a lack of context for statistics, due coverage for alternative treatments, scrutiny of PCR testing, attention to adverse vaccine reactions, or balanced examinations of the costs of lockdown.

And they accused the UK media of frequently publishing “fear-inducing and sometimes inaccurate” coverage helping to foster a hostile environment for those who choose not to have a Covid-19 vaccine.

‘Unprecedented’ reporting

Elijah, who came up with the group’s name and found it “therapeutic” to talk to others with the same concerns, told Press Gazette: “It’s been unprecedented the way Covid-19 has been reported in the UK but not just in the UK, worldwide.

“There’s only been one official narrative played out in the mainstream media and that has not changed over time.

“There’s only been one ‘scientific truth’ allowed to be discussed: the one endorsed by worldwide governmental regulatory bodies, even that has been very selective. This has given the public a distorted view of the truth which has been highly damaging.”

Elijah said her biggest concern was about “censorship” of information online that goes against this narrative and referred to the Trusted News Initiative, through which the BBC, other publishers and tech giants flag up the most dangerous disinformation to each other.

“For a long time, we’ve been in this dark era of censorship that’s been embodied by the Trusted News Initiative which cuts across big tech and all mainstream media,” she said.

“It’s been packaged around this war on disinformation or misinformation- where anything that’s gone against the official narrative has not just been ‘fact checked’ but has been suppressed or removed.”

Ex-BBC radio journalist Gosling told Press Gazette he had interviewed two doctors who shared counter-narratives – Dr Tess Lawrie of the Evidence-based Medicine Consultancy in Bath who called for early treatment to take place post-Covid diagnosis, and Florida-based immunologist Dr Stanley Laham who called for the use of ivermectin and warned against the use of the approved but “experimental” vaccines – but that both were removed from Youtube on grounds of misinformation.

Gosling said he wanted to speak out against fear-inducing and sometimes inaccurate coverage.

He pointed as one example to a BBC Newsround segment last month in which a contributor claimed the Pfizer vaccine was “100% safe” for 12 to 15-year-olds. Gosling submitted a complaint about the “shocking” and “disgusting” claim and the BBC has since removed the claim from the online article and video and published a correction.

Gosling said: “Our main concern is that there’s a very powerful lobby behind many of these Covid measures, including treatment, lack of treatment and vaccines, obviously, but there isn’t much of a lobby in the other direction. And I think most of us feel that our employers of various sorts have not been representing both sides.”

‘We just want balanced debate’

Gosling added: “My own aim is to provide balance, that’s it basically. And also to point out to the public that the journalists don’t always get to choose what gets published.

“It’s the owners and the editors that have the final say, so we are all of the same mind that we would like to see more journalists being editors and having their own newspapers, having their own TV/radio stations but that’s very, very rare. So there’s always an editor somewhere just saying no, I don’t want this, and particularly through this pandemic that’s the way it’s been, people have found it difficult to get stories in, and it’s been frustrating.”

The group secretary, who has worked in the newspaper industry since the late 90s and asked to remain anonymous, said: “We are definitely not about slamming the legacy media as so much good work has been done and is being done, but we are wanting to promote best practice on reporting Covid and to raise awareness about Covid issues the tech giants are censoring.

“It is a difficult time for journalists to go against the grain and we have heard of examples of freelancers being blacklisted and of those, with legacy media contracts, being criticised by their managers for wanting to cover stories on vaccine harm and the fallibility of the PCR test.

“But we are not holding a stance one way or the other on any issue, we just want newspapers and the broadcast media to be able to host balanced debate and for that debate to take place without fear of reprisals in newsrooms.”

Coverage has been ‘exemplary’

Fiona Fox of the Science Media Centre told Press Gazette she thought it was right to reflect on how the media had done during the pandemic, but felt many of the claims made by the group were too sweeping or unsupported by evidence.

She said she did not recognise the allegation of “fear-inducing and sometimes inaccurate” coverage: “You can literally say that about the media at any time in the last 20 years – you can find examples of scare stories and you could find inaccuracies, but honestly, on the whole… media coverage of Covid-19 has been balanced, measured, accurate to the point that I think we should be shouting that from the rafters.

“I can’t say that about the media coverage of statins, I can’t say it about the media coverage of antidepressants, I can’t say about the media coverage of e-cigarettes. There are lots of issues that the media hasn’t, I don’t think, informed the public well about, but on Covid I think they have.

“You’ve got to remember that this isn’t one science story in amongst all the other political stories, transport stories, education stories. It’s the only story in town for 18 months, of course you can find inaccurate coverage.”

Fox also responded to the group’s claim the UK media had “undermined” initiatives like the Great Barrington Declaration, a statement written by three scientists endorsing an anti-lockdown, herd immunity approach which has been called “dangerous” by other scientists.

She pointed out that the authors appeared on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, that it received widespread media coverage, and that many scientists did not believe it should have been covered at all.

“What the media did, however, was made sure that the public realised that the scientists who signed this were a minority view within science,” Fox said, contrasting this with the media’s “historic failure” that led the public to believe a much greater proportion of the scientific community believed the MMR vaccine caused autism than really did.

“One of the things the media has learned is that if you’re going to cover controversies and disagreements, it’s really important to signal to your audience and your readers where scientists are in the minority.”

Fox also said she had not seen any overt censorship of data but added: “Of course some newspapers have highlighted the stats that support their editorial line on issues like lifting restrictions but ”twas ever thus’.”

She disagreed there had been a lack of proper context for statistics, pointing to the regular briefings held by the Science Media Centre in which statisticians explained the latest data to around 60 journalists.

And she said journalists had “seriously weighed up” how to report the tiny risk of dying after having a blood clot because of the AstraZeneca jab and noted they had not blindly followed the Government’s plea for “positive messaging” on the vaccines.

Coronavirus Covid-19 Research History – January 1-5, 2022

Posted on January 4, 2022 by mekorganic

These are excerpts of January 2022 articles. For a quick sense of information and faster summary just read the red marked texted.

My primary source is the extremely well researched RFK jr.’s “Children Health Defense” organization. The CHD is suffering some severe censorship on social media because they are exposing government/corporate media inconsistencies, distortions and censored facts about the Covid pandemic!

2022-01-05 Omicron Less Likely to Cause Lung Damage or Death, Studies Find Multiple studies of Omicron infections published in recent weeks showed decreased lung damage and decreased mortality rates in both animal and human tissue, though the studies confirmed the greater transmissibility of the Omicron variant.

This rodent study corroborated results announced earlier in December by researchers at Hong Kong University (HKU) who found while Omicron replicated 70 times faster than the Delta variant in human bronchial tissues, it replicated 10 times more slowly than Delta in the lungs, where typically the most serious cases of COVID-19 have wreaked the most damage.

As Bloomberg News reported, hospitalizations in South Africa plummeted 91% during the second week of the country’s mid-December wave of infections. Also, the Omicron surge there never came close to the country’s peak of hospitalizations for Delta. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/omicron-decreased-lung-damage-death/

2022–01-05 Pfizer to Study 3rd Dose of COVID Vaccine for Toddlers . . . But Why? The push to inject children with a genetic experiment may be one of the worst public health offenses perpetrated on a population of people who are unable to speak for themselves, do not have a legal voice and depend on adults to protect them.

  • Pfizer announced their experiments on children 6 months and older were unsuccessful in 2- to 5-year-olds as they didn’t produce an immune response, leading to a recommendation for a third shot and delaying the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the youngest citizens.
  • Although the experiments produced a strong response in children 6 months to 24 months and 5 to 12 years, the company announced they were evaluating increasing these doses as well.
  • The study is listed as a phase 1, 2 and 3 model, evaluating the safety, dose and efficacy simultaneously, a strategy seldom, if ever, used. Data collection and analysis will be completed in one year on a population with little risk of the illness.
  • Despite the readily available and public data, some continue to call for a shot for children for the sake of herd immunity. Yet, according to a recent engineering analysis more people have died from the shot in less time than from the disease.

Children are the future. Over the centuries, many have suffered atrocities at the hands of adults. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/pfizer-third-dose-covid-vaccine-toddlers/

2022-01-05 Diamond Mine of Data? Insurance Companies Report 40% Increase in Premature Non-COVID Deaths Insurers in Indiana and India report similar rates of non-COVID-related premature deaths. “I’m sure I’m one of many who wonder what kind of diamond mine of data the insurance companies are sitting on,” said educator and statistician Michael Crawford.

“Just to give you an idea of how bad [40%] is, a … one-in-200 catastrophe would be a 10% increase over pre-pandemic. So 40% is just unheard of.” Moreover, Kirsch said, the culprit would have to be something first introduced in 2021 — “something new … that a huge number of people would be exposed to” — such as COVID shots. Vaccine scientist Dr. Robert Malone and statistician Jessica Rose, Ph.D., agreed that experimental COVID injections should be considered prime suspects.

While claiming not to have a breakdown of causes, an Indiana hospital association official noted that the majority of intensive care patients are in the hospital for illnesses and conditions having nothing to do with COVID. In a September study described as “narrative-shattering,” Harvard, Tufts and Veterans Affairs researchers reported that approximately half of hospitalized patients “showing up on COVID-data dashboards in 2021” had likely been admitted “for another reason entirely.”

In Ventura County, California, which is witnessing a startling spike in non-COVID-related hospitalizations, nurse whistleblowers argue the vaccines should be one of the first explanations considered. Why else, they ask, would otherwise healthy adults be showing up in droves with brain bleeds, heart attacks, autoimmune issues and lung abnormalities? Autopsies of individuals who died following COVID vaccination reveal shocking pathological alterations most frequently affecting the heart and lungs but also the brain and other organs. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/insurance-companies-report-increase-premature-deaths/

2022-01-05 ‘This Week’ With Mary + Polly: Video ‘Sent Shivers Down My Spine’ + More

  • Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said it’s unclear if rapid antigen tests provide useful information later in the infection period. After Dec. 31, 2021, the CDC will withdraw the request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for Emergency Use Authorization of the CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel. “I took this as these tests don’t work,” said Polly.
  • Premier League players are concerned that recent on-field heart problems are a possible consequence of taking the COVID vaccine. “It’s starting to crumble again,” said Polly.
  • A disturbing video shows young athletes suffering from cardiac arrest and death while playing their sport. “It’s terrifying, it’s heartbreaking,” said Polly.
  • The world’s first documented case of “flurona,” or simultaneous infections of COVID and influenza viruses, has been recorded in Israel.”I have a feeling we will be seeing more of this,” said Polly.
  • In the United Arab Emirates, unvaccinated citizens will be banned from traveling abroad starting Jan. 10.
  • New data released by the German government found the Omicron variant has been overwhelmingly infecting fully vaccinated people, including those who have received a booster shot. “Further evidence that the vaccine is not effective,” said Mary.
  • In Gurgaon, India, 13 more cases of Omicron variant were confirmed. All cases are among the fully vaccinated.
  • Ecuador announced the COVID vaccine will be mandatory for most citizens, saying the measure is needed because of a rise in infections and the spread of variants such as Omicron.
  • Australian Premier Mark McGowan ​​publicly shamed those who are unvaccinated or refusing to get tested.
  • People who are medically allowed to get a COVID vaccine but refuse to do so are “idiots,” former UK prime minister Tony Blair said. “I do think this level of vilification is pretty new,” said Mary. “These people are mad we are not taking their medicine.”
  • Ministers in England are planning to send door-to-door teams armed with COVID vaccines to the homes of unvaccinated people to reach the estimated 5 million people yet to be vaccinated.
  • New York City will give $100 to all New Yorkers who receive boosters, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced.
  • Mary and Polly shared a video showing a child and mother in a restaurant in New York who are told by NYPD to exit the restaurant because they don’t have a vaccine card. “This is close to home” said Polly. “It sent shivers down my spine.”
  • Flu cases are on the rise again in the U.S. after reaching an all-time low last year. “This is the start of pushing flu shots,” said Polly.
  • Is Biden going to require vaccines to fly domestically? He said he will issue an edict requiring vaccines for domestic travel if his scientific advisers recommend it.  “This would be insane,” said Mary.
  • Epoch Times published an excellent article about the attack on public health, coordinated by Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins, recently retired director of the National Institutes of Health.
  • This video shows Frank McGeorge encouraging the autism community to get vaccinated. “This is a very disturbing video,” said Polly.
  • Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò issued a letter to the U.S. about what he sees as a conspiracy underlying the handling of COVID.
  • Falsifying a COVID vaccine card is now a class A misdemeanor in New York, and tampering with computer records related to vaccinations is now a class E felony.
  • The U.S.Army is wrapping up early clinical trials on a vaccine it hopes will target all existing coronavirus variants.“There is a long history of medical experiments in the military,” said Mary.
  • Navy SEALS achieved a stunning victory in America’s fight against vaccine mandates.“Great news for the military,” said Mary. “This is very exciting.”
  • A federal judge in Texas blocked President Biden’s vaccine and mask mandates for the Head Start program, ruling the Biden administration “cannot act without Congressional authorization.”
  • In his book, “Underestimated: An Autism Miracle,” and on his blog, JB Handley tells the miraculous story of his son’s ability to communicate. “It is a fantastic book,” said Mary. “It’s incredibly beautiful.”
  • A sheep owner in Germany arranged her animals in the shape of a giant syringe in a stab at convincing her compatriots to get vaccinated. “The most stupid article of the week,” said Polly. “The world has gone insane.”

2022-01-05 25-Year-Old Woman a ‘Shell of What I Used to Be’ After Taking Gardasil Vaccine Attorneys from Baum Hedlund Aristei & Goldman and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., chairman of Children’s Health Defense, filed their 13th lawsuit against Merck over its Gardasil HPV vaccine, this time on behalf of a 25-year-old New Jersey woman.

Just before leaving for Villanova, Sullivan received her first Gardasil shot. She was 18 at the time. Within weeks, numerous health issues began interfering with her daily student life. She was constantly tired and had severe joint and shin pain when she tried to exercise. Her heart raced at random times. She felt jittery, suffered from insomnia and vomited frequently while somehow putting on extra weight. Things only got worse after the second dose. Sullivan suffered from severe headaches, joint pain, chest pain and nausea. Her vomiting became so bad she had to resort to liquids for nutrition. Sullivan would experience cramping when on her period that was so bad she had to go to the hospital. She had extreme trouble sleeping. When she was actually able to sleep, her sleep was interrupted with night terrors and sleep paralysis. Doctors diagnosed Sullivan with:

  • Autonomic Dysfunction
  • Narcolepsy
  • Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
  • Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)
  • Small Fiber Neuropathy (SFN)

These and other debilitating health issues deprived Sullivan of the ability to work and attend school like a normal college student. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/emma-sullivan-lawsuit-merck-gardasil-hpv-vaccine

2022-01-05 Federal Judge Blocks DOD From Disciplining Navy SEALS Who Sued Over Vaccine Mandate In another defeat of Biden’s military vaccine mandates, a federal judge barred the U.S. Department of Defense from disciplining military service members who object to COVID-19 vaccination on religious grounds. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/federal-judge-dod-disciplining-navy-seals-vaccine-mandate/

2022-01-04 Rogan and Malone: Most Important Interview of Our Time? Joe Rogan, host of the widely viewed “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, interviewed one of the world’s most qualified and unbiased individuals about the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines now deployed upon nearly 4 billion human beings. Rogan stands alone as an independent voice outside of corporate media that is able to reach a politically and ideologically diverse audience of 11 million or more per episode.

Dr. Robert Malone, originally an academic pathologist, has run more than 100 clinical trials mostly in the vaccine and drug repurposing spaces. He has been involved in nearly every infectious disease outbreak since the AIDS epidemic, has worked for the National Institutes of Health awarding millions of dollars in contracts for vaccines and biodefense, and spent “countless hours” at Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices meetings. Malone works closely with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, knows Dr. Anthony Fauci personally and is possibly best known for his instrumental work in developing the platform for mRNA-based vaccine technologies more than 30 years ago.

Rogan repeatedly voiced his concern around the silencing of opinions from legitimate experts. Malone responded: “If it’s not okay for me to be a part of the conversation … even though I’m pointing out facts that may be inconvenient, then who can be allowed? Virtually all others that have [my] background have conflicts of interest…I am not getting any money out of this…”

The vaccinologist, inventor and staunch advocate for informed consent told his personal story of getting COVID, suffering from long-COVID, getting the Moderna vaccination and suffering adverse events (stage III hypertension, heart arrhythmias, restless leg syndrome and narcolepsy) after the second jab. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/joe-rogan-robert-malone-interview-covid-vaccine/

2022-01-04 Why RFK, Jr.’s Latest Book Didn’t Hit No. 1 on New York Times Best Sellers List The New York Times reportedly bases a book’s position on its bestseller list on what they call a proprietary algorithm. Whatever their method, they favor specific books, ignore others, and rankings are often disconnected from how many copies of a book were actually sold to consumers.

Can a book outsell every other book in the U.S. and not be the #1 New York Times Bestseller? Sure. Is that perhaps a form of censorship? Yup. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s latest book, “The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health,” was published Nov. 16, 2021, by Skyhorse Publishing, Inc.

That’s what happened in the case of Kennedy’s “The Real Anthony Fauci”: Barnes & Noble purchased an unusually small quantity, and they kept the book invisible in most of their stores. Independent booksellers, such as the San Francisco-based City Lights, don’t list the book on their website, tell customers they “don’t carry the book” and refuse to order it, even upon request. These decisions have nothing to do with customer demand or interest in the book.

With more than 2,000 citations and references, the book asks readers to engage in dialog and debate. At the end of each chapter, there’s a QR code that links to a website containing updates, critiques and new information. “The Real Anthony Fauci” was carefully vetted by doctors, scientists and lawyers. It has received substantial support from leading scientists, including at least one Nobel Prize-winning scientist. This type of book cannot possibly be what any reasonable person has in mind when they seek to protect the public from “misinformation.”

Again, despite the epic censorship, there has been enormous grassroots demand for this book, and it’s burst through the blockade to hold the #1 spot on Amazon Charts and also become the #1 USA Today, #1 Publishers Weekly, and #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/rfk-jr-book-new-york-times-best-sellers-list/

2022-01-04 Emails Cast Doubt on Safety Protocols at Wuhan Lab Where U.S. Researchers Conducted Coronavirus Experiments Biosafety experts privately harbored questions about risks taken with coronavirus research at biosafety level-3 labs, including those in Wuhan, according to emails obtained by U.S. Right to Know.

The emails cast doubt upon the biosafety protocols in place when the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded EcoHealth Alliance (EHA), a U.S-based nonprofit research organization, to carry out research with the WIV and the University of North Carolina (UNC) that infected mice expressing human receptors with engineered novel bat coronaviruses. Much of that work on bat coronaviruses appears to have taken place in BSL-3 labs in Wuhan, according to grant documents submitted to the NIH — and in some cases, even lower containment BSL-2 labs in Wuhan, according to a Journal of Virology article, and other sources. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/emails-safety-protocols-wuhan-lab-coronavirus-experiments/

2022-01-04 Bring Back the Boycott: Say ‘No’ to Big Pharma, Big Banks and Totalitarian Control Nearly two years into the phenomenon labeled COVID-19, more and more people recognize that a global coup d’état is underway — a push by central bankers and technocrats for “totalitarian control of your transportation, your bank account, your movement, every aspect of your life,”

Now, a year’s worth of vaccine injury data (however imperfect) is telling “a very frightening story” about the dangers of the experimental COVID shots, and is exposing the immorality of administering them to children. As Kennedy recently argued, “Forcing an entire population to accept an arbitrary and risky medical intervention is the most intrusive and demeaning action ever imposed by the U.S. government, and perhaps any government.” Concerned about a rapidly advancing bio-surveillance state that would like to make participation in society dependent on vaccine passports and repeat injections, many people are wondering what they can do to resist. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/boycott-big-pharma-banks-totalitarian-control/

2022-01-03 Fauci, NIH Colluded to Discredit Scientists Behind Great Barrington Declaration, Emails Reveal Emails obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request by the American Institute for Economic Research reveal Dr. Anthony Fauci and his boss, National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins, colluded to quash dissenting views on COVID lockdowns.

  • Another cache of emails obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request by the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) reveals Dr. Anthony Fauci and his boss, National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins, colluded to quash dissenting views on the lockdowns.
  • Oct. 4, 2020, three medical professors — Martin Kulldorff from Harvard, Sunetra Gupta from Oxford and Jay Bhattacharya from Stanford — launched the Great Barrington Declaration, which called for focused protection of high-risk individuals rather than the continuation of blanket lockdowns.
  • As support of the declaration rapidly spread, Fauci and Collins discussed how they could stop the call for a sane, science-based approach. In an email to Fauci, Collins wrote, “There needs to be a quick and devastating published take down of its premises.”
  • The emails between Fauci and Collins are the smoking gun showing that it is they who are waging war against science.
  • Despite having a combined annual budget of $58 billion, and a combined staff of 31,000, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health have not yet conducted an actual study to determine how natural immunity stacks up against the COVID jab, likely because they don’t want to know the answer.

2022-01-03 As Omicron Surges, FDA’s Vaccine Strategy Called Into Question The Omicron variant is the predominant COVID-19 strain in the U.S., prompting a pause in the distribution of certain ineffective monoclonal antibody therapies. Yet the push for vaccines, also ineffective against the variant, continues unabated.

The first case of Omicron in the U.S. was reported on Dec. 1, 2021. As of Dec. 25, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates Omicron accounts for 58.6% of SARS-CoV-2 infections in the U.S. Omicron’s rapid emergence is indicative of the variant’s increased transmissibility and the lack of efficacy vaccines have against this strain.

On Oct. 29, 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) extended Emergency Use Authorization of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 to include children 5 through 11 years of age.

This decision is scientifically, empirically, logically and ethically indefensible as explained here by Toby Rogers, Ph.D. Pfizer’s claim of 90.7% vaccine efficacy in this age group is based on a total of 19 children (three in a group of 1,450 vaccinated and 16 in a group of 736 placebo recipients) who developed mild symptoms during the brief trial. No child in the trial died or required hospitalization from COVID. Without any clinical outcomes of significance, no meaningful calculation of vaccine efficacy can be made.

These results should have ended any consideration of granting Pfizer authorization of its product in this age group. Pfizer’s trial essentially proved the drugmaker’s COVID vaccine, when appropriately dosed and tested against placebo in a randomized study of young children, would reduce the risk of developing common cold symptoms by approximately 2%.

Beyond the leaps of logic and apparent disinterest in scientific rigor — why would any medical regulatory body simply assume the same antibody levels in a 5-year-old and 25-year-old will result in the same risk of hospitalization or death from COVID without any evidence? — this unjustified assumption allowed Pfizer and the FDA to avoid taking the appropriate and necessary action: conducting a bigger and longer trial. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/omicron-surges-fda-vaccine-strategy-question/

2022-01-03 Most Underreported Story of 2021? The ‘Crushing Impact’ of COVID Policies on Kids. In a roundtable discussion on “Face the Nation, CBS News correspondent Jan Crawford, said children, who have almost no risk of dying from COVID, have “sacrificed and suffered the most” from restrictive COVID measures.

Crawford slammed COVID policies, blaming them for a number of problems affecting children today, including the ongoing mental health crisis, increased suicide rates and learning disruptions due to school closures. Crawford said the risk of suicide attempts by girls is up 51%, while “black kids are twice as likely as white kids to die by suicide.”

“School closures, lockdowns, cancellation of sports — you couldn’t even go on a playground in the D.C. area without cops scurrying, shooing the kids off [and it had a] tremendous negative impact on kids, and it’s been an afterthought,” Crawford said. Crawford said healthy teenagers have “a one-in-a-million chance” of catching and dying of COVID, noting they have a greater chance of dying in a car accident. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/jan-crawford-face-the-nation-impact-covid-policies-kids/.

2022-01-03 Supreme Court to Hold Special Session on Legal Challenges to Biden Vaccine Mandates Any emergency stay issued by the Supreme Court would not constitute a final ruling but would freeze enforcement of COVID vaccine mandates for businesses and healthcare workers until legal challenges make their way through the federal appeals courts.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Jan. 7 will convene a special session to hear oral arguments in two cases related to the Biden administration’s COVID vaccine mandates.

The two cases pertain to the mandates imposed on private businesses with 100 or more employees, and healthcare facilities participating in the Medicare or Medicaid programs. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/supreme-court-legal-challenges-biden-vaccine-mandates/

2022-01-03 Reports of COVID Vaccine Injuries Pass 1 Million Mark, FDA Signs Off on Pfizer Booster for Kids 12 and Up VAERS data released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention included a total of 1,000,229 reports of adverse events from all age groups following COVID vaccines, including 21,002 deaths and 162,506 serious injuries between Dec. 14, 2020, and Dec. 24, 2021.

Of the 9,623 U.S. deaths reported as of Dec. 24, 20% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination, 25% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination and 61% occurred in people who experienced an onset of symptoms within 48 hours of being vaccinated. In the U.S., 499.7 million COVID vaccine doses had been administered as of Dec. 23. This includes 291 million doses of Pfizer, 190 million doses of Moderna and 18 million doses of Johnson & Johnson (J&J).

The FDA today amended Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for Pfizer’s COVID vaccine expanding eligibility for boosters to children 12 through 15 years of age. The agency did not consult its expert panel of vaccine advisors, who in September, overwhelmingly rejected boosters for healthy people 16 and older. The FDA also shortened the time for both adolescents and adults to receive a booster from six months to five months after receiving a second dose and authorized a third shot for immunocompromised children aged 5 to 11.

2021-12-14 U.S. Congressional Plea to End Cuban Sanctions of Essentials

Posted on January 3, 2022 by mekorganic

U.S. Congressional Plea to End Cuban Sanctions of Essentials

Congress of the United States

Washington D.C. 20515

December 14, 2021
The Honorable Joe Biden
President of the United States
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington, DC 20500


Dear President Biden:


We are writing to ask you to prioritize the well-being of the Cuban people, who are
experiencing the worst economic and humanitarian crisis in recent history. The current
humanitarian situation in Cuba is growing ever more dire, with shortages of food and goods and
decreasing access to medical supplies amid the COVID-19 pandemic. We urge you to take
immediate humanitarian actions – as the United Nations has urged repeatedly – to suspend U.S.
regulations that prevent food, medicine, and other humanitarian assistance from reaching the
Cuban people. We also support a more comprehensive shift to deepen engagement with Cuba
and move towards normalization of U.S.-Cuba relations.


We urge your administration to remove the specific licenses required to send medical
supplies, such as testing kits and respiratory devices, to Cuba. We also ask that the
administration lift all restrictions on banking and financial transactions related to humanitarian
aid and suspend end-use verification. While the embargo allows for the shipment of
humanitarian aid, in practice, licensing requirements, end-use verification, restrictions on the
banking sector, and fear of unknowingly running afoul of U.S. law severely complicate sending
humanitarian aid to Cuba, from other countries as well as from the United States.

We ask you to remove all restrictions on family remittances, allowing Cuban Americans
to help their families and improve their standard of living, and the restrictions on non-family
(donative) remittances, allowing nonprofits and faith groups to provide humanitarian assistance
and start-up capital for Cuban entrepreneurs and civil society. We are still waiting for action
based on the recommendations from the Remittance Working Group you established in the wake
of the July 11th protests, tasked with expediting a review withing 30 days of how to send
remittances directly to the Cuban people. Despite concerns over Cuba’s government obtaining
revenue from remittances, the government captures less revenue from remittances than in the
past due to changes initiated in July 2020 and much of the government’s revenue from
remittances is channeled to essential food, fuel, and goods imports for Cubans who do not have
family abroad, many of them in marginalized communities. Moreover, the U.S. government does
not restrict remittances to most of the countries targeted by U.S. sanctions. For example, your
administration restarted the flow of remittances through Western Union to Afghanistan, and as of
last week, you now allow personal and family remittances through financial institutions, showing
you are aware of the importance that remittance channels have for countries facing humanitarian
and economic crises.


We also urge you to roll back the Trump Administration’s restrictions on travel to Cuba,
since they make it more difficult for Cuban Americans to visit and reunite with family on the
island, particularly for those with families outside of Havana. These restrictions limit mutually
beneficial dialogue and exchange between the U.S. and Cuban people. Travel restrictions have
also harmed small private businesses, which have been unable to access needed goods and
products and have struggled since tourism began to slow after such restrictions were put in place. Allowing travel to Cuba would increase the flow of necessary humanitarian supplies to the island
and the amount and distribution of money and goods sent directly into the hands of Cubans.


Cuba was removed from the State Sponsor of Terrorism list in 2015 after an exhaustive
review by experts at the State Department and in the intelligence community. The Trump
Administration did not cite any new facts to justify its decision to relist Cuba during the last days
of its term. Therefore, we ask you to recommend that the State Department conduct a new review
and remove Cuba from the list. This designation places another roadblock in the path towards
improved relations and creates further obstacles for purchasing or receiving humanitarian goods.


In addition to these immediate steps, we believe that a policy of engagement with Cuba
serves U.S. interests and those of the Cuban people. It should lead to a more comprehensive
effort to deepen engagement and normalization, including restarting diplomatic engagement at
senior levels as well as through the re-staffing of each country’s respective embassies. This act
would not only be a gesture of good faith but is in the best interests of the United States, assisting
Cubans interested in migrating via legal means instead of contributing to conditions forcing
Cubans to migrate under dangerous conditions, arriving in increased numbers at our southern
border. Because the U.S. Embassy’s consular section has been closed to Cubans, the United
States is in violation of the 1994 migration agreement signed with Cuba to end the last migration
crisis.

Engagement on key areas of mutual interest that were pursued by the Obama–Biden
Administration should be resumed, including bilateral groups on migration, disaster response,
environment, and law enforcement issues such as counter-narcotics and money laundering.
Cooperation on COVID-19 response and addressing future pandemics are also essential.

Finally, protecting human rights in Cuba, including the right to protest, is better served by
principled engagement, rather than unilateral isolation, which has proven to be a failed policy. In
fact, today, following almost five years of tightened U.S. sanctions, Cuba’s nascent social
movements that emerged during the rapprochement years find their space for public debate and
free expression more constrained than in 2016. Yet increased channels of communication and
access to information via the internet and social media platforms in recent years, in large
measure due to the policy of engagement pursued by the Obama-Biden Administration, have
dramatically influenced how Cubans communicate and their levels of activism to influence
decision making and mobilize and advocate for social causes. Engagement is more likely to
enable the political, economic, and social openings that Cubans may desire, and to ease the
hardships that Cubans face today.


We are eager to work with you to advance U.S.-Cuban relations and human rights and
prosperity on the island. We look forward to your rapid implementation of these
recommendations.
Sincerely,

Coronavirus Covid-19 Research History – December 20-31, 2021

Posted on December 29, 2021 by mekorganic

These are excerpts of December 2021 articles. For a quick sense of information and faster summary just read the red marked texted.

My primary source is the extremely well researched RFK jr.’s “Children Health Defense” organization. The CHD is suffering some severe censorship on social media because they are exposing government/corporate media inconsistencies, distortions and censored facts about the Covid pandemic!

.

2021-12-21 Here’s Why mRNA COVID Vaccines Might Be Messing With Our Innate Immunity A pre-print study provides evidence to support what many prominent immunologists and vaccinologists have been saying for a long time — mRNA COVID vaccines are causing immune system dysregulation.

These COVID-19 mRNA injectable products are causing, yes, causing, immune system dysregulation — and not just in the context of the adaptive system, but in the context of the innate system. Not only that, but these findings provide very good reasons as to why we are seeing resurgences of latent viral infections and other adverse events reported in VAERS (and other adverse event reporting systems) and perhaps more importantly, why we should under no circumstances inject this crap into our children. Children are fine in the context of COVID-19 (for the 80 millionth time — this is well documented) and this is due to their extraordinary innate immune response systems. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/jessica-rose-mrna-covid-vaccines-innate-immunity/

2021-12-22 85% of COVID Deaths Could Have Been Prevented … So What Happened? Of the people who died from COVID in the U.S., none received adequate and/or early enough treatment, Dr. Peter McCullough told podcast host Joe Rogan. If they had, at least 85% of them would have survived.

  • Of the COVID-19 deaths in the U.S., none received adequate and/or early-enough treatment. At least 85% of COVID deaths were preventable.
  • There are three components to SARS-CoV-2 infection: viral replication, cytokine storm and blood clotting, therefore necessitating a multidrug approach, and treatment must begin early to be effective.
  • Research published in 2006 showed hydroxychloroquine reduced viral replication of SARS-CoV-1 (the original SARS virus). It also has well-established anti-inflammatory properties. These two properties help explain its usefulness against COVID-19.
  • There were clear intentional efforts to prevent use of hydroxychloroquine against COVID-19, likely in an effort to make the COVID jabs appear necessary.
  • You cannot get COVID-19 twice — those with natural immunity have robust, long-lasting immunity. The Pfizer COVID shot, meanwhile, has been shown to have undetectable effectiveness 201 days after the second dose and Moderna’s effectiveness reaches zero around day 121.

2021-12-21 RFK, Jr.’s Bestselling Book Is ‘Mind-Blowing and Jaw-Dropping’ On a recent episode of “The Jimmy Dore Show,” Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. joined comedian and political commentator Jimmy Dore to discuss Kennedy’s bestselling book “The Real Anthony Fauci,” Fauci’s sordid history as a public health official, and how Fauci and Gates effectively control all biomedical research.

“I wrote the book because so many Americans were looking at Tony Fauci as this kind of savior … the man on the white horse, or in the white lab coat, that would ride us out of this coronavirus crises but I knew from the beginning … that he does not do public health and has not done public health since the 1980’s.

“Fauci transformed his agency into an incubator for pharmaceutical products. Fauci is the architect of agency capture not just at his National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases or the National Institutes of Health but across all of Health and Human Services. “They promote pharmaceutical products and the profiteering of the pharmaceutical industry, they promote their own personal power, and [Fauci] is the leader of that pack.” Instead of fulfilling his duty to the American people and finding the causes for chronic diseases and illnesses, Fauci oversaw the U.S. decline from one of the healthiest nations in the world to one of the most unhealthy, Kennedy said.

2021-12-22 Biden Pick for FDA Chief Holds Millions in Big Pharma Investments Dr. Robert Califf, President Biden’s pick to lead the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, made millions as a consultant for more than a dozen pharmaceutical corporations and holds millions more in Big Pharma investments. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/biden-robert-califf-fda-big-pharma-investments/?

2021-12-22 Pfizer Vaccine Clinical Trials Poorly Designed From the Start, Analysis Shows The Canadian COVID Care Alliance assembled a presentation that demonstrates how Pfizer’s purported randomized placebo-controlled, double-blinded study veered away from methodologies that would have definitively answered questions about the vaccine’s safety and efficacy.

In this concise slide deck with an explanatory video, CCCA powerfully summarized why Pfizer’s trial was not designed to adequately demonstrate its product’s safety and efficacy. Here are a few key points from the CCCA presentation:

  • Initial data demonstrated a high relative risk reduction of infection yet this amounted to an absolute risk reduction of only 0.84%. It is the absolute risk reduction that determines the risk-benefit ratio required to make informed decisions around inoculation.
  • Early unblinding: Several months before publishing six-month observational results Pfizer opted to offer its product to those participants who received the placebo. By eliminating nearly all participants in the placebo wing Pfizer effectively closed the curtain on its experiment because long-term comparisons can no longer be made.
  • All-cause mortality and morbidity, the only sensible outcomes to use in determining efficacy and risk, were not considered. Indeed, all-cause mortality was higher in the vaccinated group after six months.
  • Severe adverse events outnumbered cases of severe COVID prevented after six months of observation.
  • Trial participants were not reflective of the most vulnerable members of our population — more than 50% of people dying from COVID are 75 years of age or older. This age group made up only 4.4% of trial participants. Also, 95% of those who have died from COVID had one or more comorbidities. Nearly 80% of trial participants had none.
  • Not every trial participant was tested for COVID. Asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic (presenting few symptoms) cases were missed.

2021-12-22 U.S. Approves First Injury Claim for COVID Countermeasure, as Backlog Grows to 4,000+ Claims The U.S. government program that processes claims for COVID vaccine- and countermeasures-related injuries, the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program, will issue compensation for its first claim. It’s unknown if the claim is related to a vaccine or some other medication or device related to the diagnosis or treatment of the virus.

According to the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) website, “[o]ne COVID-19 claim has been determined eligible for compensation and is pending a review of eligible expenses.” CICP did not reveal the terms of the compensation. Confirmation of the claim comes almost a year after distribution of the vaccines began and after 965,843 reports of adverse events following COVID vaccines were submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (as of Dec. 10). https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/injury-covid-countermeasure-backlog-grows/

2021-12-22 Pfizer, FDA Dodge Media Questions About Pfizer Comirnaty Vaccine Two media outlets last week requested, but failed to obtain, clarity from Pfizer on whether its fully licensed Comirnaty COVID vaccine is available in the U.S. Reporting by The Ohio Star and National File highlighted the ongoing debate over whether the vaccine can legally be mandated, and whether Pfizer can be held liable for injuries related to the vaccine. The Star reported that despite asking multiple times whether the Comirnaty vaccine is in use, Pfizer would not answer the question. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in August granted full approval, or Biological License Application Approval (BLA) — for the Comirnaty vaccine for individuals age 16 and older. The approval, granted without a formal advisory committee meeting or public comments, prompted a number of questions including:

  1. What, if any, differences exist between the formulations used in the fully licensed Comirnaty vaccine and the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine being distributed under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA).
  2. If/when the fully licensed vaccine would be available in the U.S.

Pfizer’s claim that the two vaccines can “be used interchangeably” is inconsistent with FDA statements, The Star said, citing an FDA Q&A page that states the two vaccines are “legally distinct.” The FDA “did not directly address” The Star’s initial question about the specific difference between Comirnaty and the EUA vaccine, or why Pfizer is not shipping Comirnaty if the formulas are “interchangeable.”

Misrepresentations by media and public officials — like those of the Louisville Courier-Journal and Ohio attorney general claiming the Pfizer vaccines in use in the U.S. are FDA-approved — coupled with the FDA’s own ambiguous documents and public statements have given rise to public confusion and legal questions.

2021-12-22 ‘This Week’ With Mary + Polly: ‘We Live in a World of Propaganda and Censorship’ + More

  • Documents reviewed by Reuters reveal tens of millions of migrants may be denied COVID vaccines from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance because some major manufacturers are worried about legal risks from harmful side effects. “It’s fascinating,” said Mary.
  • Whiplash on U.S. vaccine mandates is leaving companies confused. What does fully vaccinated really mean? “Confused as everyone is,” said Mary.
  • CHD is calling on scientists, citizens and medical experts to help stop President Biden’s COVID vaccine mandates for employees, federal contractors and healthcare workers by posting comments on three federal rulemaking websites.
  • COVID vaccines are “irreversible and potentially permanently damaging,” said Dr. Robert Malone, who explained why 16,000 physicians and medical scientists around the world signed a declaration publicly declaring healthy children should not be vaccinated for COVID-19. “A really good article to share,” said Polly.
  • Experts say babies and toddlers could be eligible for COVID vaccines by early 2022. “That’s ridiculous,” said Polly.
  • On the same day the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said it was aware of eight cases of heart inflammation in 5- to 11-year-olds vaccinated with Pfizer’s COVID vaccine, Pfizer and BioNTech announced they would seek full approval for their Comirnaty COVID vaccine for children 12 through 15.
  • Get your shot for Santa and receive a $100 gift card! “Absolutely unethical,” said Mary.
  • In New Orleans, starting Jan. 3, 2022, proof of vaccination or a negative test will be required for everyone ages 5 and up at restaurants and public places.
  • Brazil’s health regulator approved the Pfizer vaccine for children 5 to 11 years old, joining a growing list of countries green-lighting vaccination for kids. However, Brazil’s president wants to publish the names of the officials behind the decision.
  • Kenyan authorities should amend measures requiring everyone seeking government services to be fully vaccinated to avoid undermining basic rights, Human Rights Watch said. “This was interesting to me,” said Mary.
  • Spanish health authorities are stepping up efforts to give out COVID vaccines to children before Christmas and end-of-year gatherings that usually bring large groups together.

Urgent: 3 Ways to Help Stop Biden’s Vaccine Mandates

  • No more international travel for 12- to 15-year-olds without a “COVID Pass,” UK Health Secretary Sajid Javid said this week.
  • Pfizer and BioNTech are testing a third dose of their COVID vaccine in an ongoing trial of children ages 6 months to under 5 years after the companies found the two-dose regimen didn’t generate a strong enough immune response in some children. “We live in a world of propaganda and censorship,” said Mary. “We have to try and teach people the truth.”
  • Several republicans, led by California Rep. Darrell Issa, told President Biden on Tuesday he was committing a “grave mistake” in enforcing a vaccine mandate on all U.S. military personnel.
  • The U.S. Air Force said 27 service members had been discharged for refusing to receive a COVID vaccine, the first active-duty troops believed to have been removed for defying the mandate.
  • The U.S. Navy began kicking out sailors who refuse to get the COVID vaccine, but it won’t slap dishonorable discharges on anyone for their decision to ignore a direct order.
  • Ingo Rademacher, an actor on “General Hospital” for almost 25 years, sued ABC for terminating his contract without explanation after he asked for a religious exemption to the company’s COVID vaccine mandate. “A very important case,” said Mary.
  • In a bid to push more of its workers to get vaccinated against COVID, Kroger will eliminate paid pandemic-related leave and charge $50 per month to employees that haven’t gotten shots. “The whole thing doesn’t make sense,” said Mary.
  • A trial has begun of a new needle-free COVID vaccine to protect against future variants of the virus. “Please don’t sign up for this,” said Polly.
  • The SARS Co-V-2 virus most likely originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, according to a new book on the subject. “Another really interesting article,” said Mary.
  • A microchip technology introduced in recent years by the Stockholm-based startup Epicenter is being presented as a means to store one’s COVID vaccine passport under the skin.
  • A shortage of vaccinated nannies, babysitters and daycare workers is making the seemingly impossible quest to find childcare even harder.
  • U.S. passenger railroad Amtrak said it will temporarily suspend a vaccine mandate for employees and now no longer expects to be forced to cut some service in January. “It’s crumbling,” said Polly.
  • Boeing suspended its COVID vaccination requirement for U.S.-based employees, capping weeks of uncertainty as thousands of workers sought exemptions, and challenges to a federal mandate played out in court.
  • The CEO of Southwest Airlines claimed in a Senate hearing that wearing masks to stop the spread of COVIDon f lights is excessive. He argued high-end air filtration systems make planes the safest indoor space to be in. “They don’t want masks on their planes,” said Polly.
  • Los Angeles delayed enforcing its student vaccination mandate.
  • Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s book — “The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health” — released Nov. 16, is #1 on Amazon. Order your book today.

2021-12-21 CDC, FDA Say No Deaths From COVID Vaccines. VAERS Data Tell Different Story The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention claim no deaths can be attributed to the COVID vaccines, but it’s impossible to discount the thousands of deaths reported so far to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.

  • The U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is among the best adverse event data collection systems in the world, but it’s antiquated and difficult to use. Still, it’s a good way to detect safety signals that weren’t detected during premarket testing or clinical trials.
  • There are unmistakable, unprecedented safety signals in VAERS for the COVID shots. While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention claim no deaths can be attributed to the COVID jabs, it’s impossible to discount 8,986 deaths in the U.S. territories alone, reported as of Nov. 26.
  • The estimated underreporting factor for COVID jab injuries in VAERS is between 31 and 100, so the actual death toll in the U.S. could be anywhere from 278,500 to 898,600.
  • There’s a strong safety signal for female reproductive issues and for heart inflammation (myocarditis) in young men and boys. VAERS data show an inverse relationship between myocarditis and age, with youths being more frequently affected than older men.
  • VAERS data are being deleted without explanation. Each week, about 100 or so reports are routinely deleted, so there are now thousands of inexplicably missing reports.

2021-12-21 CEO of New York’s Largest Hospital System Says ‘No Crisis’ Despite Surging COVID Cases The CEO of New York state’s largest hospital system urged people to stay calm amid the surge in coronavirus cases while appearing on CNN Tuesday. Michael Dowling, CEO of Northwell Health — which serves New York City, Long Island and Westchester County — told CNN that while the area’s positivity rate is rising, it does not automatically mean an increase in hospitalizations. Dowling said that as of Tuesday, hospitals in the Northwell Health network were still managing the case increases. “We’re doing very, very well. Very manageable. There’s no crisis,” he said. About 460 COVID-19 patients are in the hospital system, less than 10% of its overall capacity, Dowling said. https://www.newsweek.com/ceo-new-yorks-largest-hospital-system-says-no-crisis-despite-surging-covid-cases-1661678

2021-12-21 German Committee Recommends Booster After Three Months as Omicron Spreads Germany’s STIKO vaccine authority on Tuesday shortened the recommended period between a second coronavirus shot and a booster to three months from six, reflecting the increasing presence of the highly infectious Omicron variant. The authority said anyone over age 18 should have a booster using an mRNA vaccine three months after completing a two-shot course of COVID-19 vaccines. For the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, that period remains four weeks. STIKO also recommended that anyone over age 12 who was infected with the coronavirus should receive a shot at least three months after they recovered. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/german-vaccine-committee-recommends-booster-after-three-months-2021-12-21/

2021-12-21 Highly Vaccinated United Arab Emirates Reports Most Virus Cases in Months The United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Tuesday recorded its highest daily virus caseload in months, a spike that comes as the Omicron variant races across the globe and the Mideast tourist hub prepares to welcome hordes of tourists for the holidays. The emirate reported 452 infections in the past 24 hours, including two deaths — an increase not seen in the highly vaccinated Gulf Arab state since mid-September. The UAE boasts one of the world’s highest vaccination rates, with authorities reporting that over 99% of eligible residents have received at least one dose. The government also offers Pfizer-BioNTech booster shots to all adults. https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-lifestyle-health-travel-holidays-c457950607b6633170231b2f095223d3

2021-12-21 CDC Director Says Initial COVID Shots ‘May Not Be Enough’ as Omicron Rapidly Sweeps the Nation CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said the Omicron variant of the coronavirus has “over 50 mutations and because of those mutations, just being vaccinated with two doses may not be enough” ahead of the holidays. Walensky told CNBC’s “The News with Shepard Smith” on Monday that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was “examining” its definition of fully vaccinated. Right now, the agency defines full vaccination as two weeks after the second dose of one of the two-shot vaccines from Moderna or Pfizer or two weeks after the one-dose vaccine from Johnson & Johnson. Even so, Walensky said that vaccines “may not prevent infection” according to data so far. She said this means people need “to continue to wear their masks to prevent the infections overall.” https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/21/cdc-dir-walensky-being-vaccinated-with-two-doses-may-not-be-enough.htm

2021-12-21 A Bluetooth Bug in a Popular At-Home COVID Test Could Falsify Results A security researcher found a Bluetooth vulnerability in a popular at-home COVID-19 test allowing him to modify its results. F-Secure researcher Ken Gannon identified the since-fixed flaw in the Ellume COVID-19 Home Test, a self-administered antigen test that individuals can use to check to see if they have been infected with the virus. Rather than submitting a sample to a testing facility, the sample is tested using a Bluetooth analyzer, which then reports the result to the user and health authorities via Ellume’s mobile app. Gannon found, however, that the built-in Bluetooth analyzer could be tricked to allow a user to falsify a certifiable result before the Ellume app processes the data. https://techcrunch.com/2021/12/21/ellume-bug-covid-results/

2021-12-21 Spain, Portugal Face New Restrictions Despite High Vaccine Rates Despite vaccination rates that make other governments envious, Spain and Portugal are facing the hard truth that, with the new Omicron variant running rampant, these winter holidays won’t be a time of unrestrained joy. Portugal on Tuesday announced a slew of new restrictions over Christmas and the New Year, making working from home mandatory and shutting discotheques and bars beginning Saturday night. Also, a negative test result must be shown to enter Portuguese cinemas, theaters, sports events, weddings and baptisms until at least Jan. 9.Catalonia, home to the northeastern city of Barcelona, is prepared to become the first Spanish region to reinstate serious limitations and put a damper on the holiday cheer. Catalan health authorities have asked the courts to authorize a battery of measures including a new nightly curfew from 1-6 a.m., a limit of 10 people per social gathering, the closure of nightclubs, and capping restaurants at 50% of indoor seating and stores, gyms and theaters at 70% capacity. If approved, the rules would take effect on Christmas Eve and last for 15 days, wiping out most New Year’s party. https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-health-lifestyle-holidays-europe-f225f13329feb22eb525bb8931ac7e4c

2021-12-21 ‘No More Shutdowns:’ NYC Offers $100 to Get Boosters at City-Run Sites Before New Year’s New York City is digging back into its pockets as it scrambles to curb the record-setting Omicron tide, offering $100 cash to anyone who gets a COVID-19 booster at a city-run vaccine site between now and New Year’s Eve, the mayor said Tuesday. Calling the program “by far the biggest booster incentive program in the United States of America,” Bill de Blasio acknowledged the limited-time opportunity but said it was coming at exactly the right time for the pandemic-weary city.

2021-12-21 COVID: EU Vaccine Passports Only Valid 9 Months Without Booster   The European Commission announced Tuesday that COVID vaccine certificates in the bloc would only be valid for nine months without a booster shot.  Announcing the decision, the EU Commission said that a harmonized validity period for COVID vaccine passports “is a necessity for safe free movement and EU level coordination.”  EU residents are recommended to receive a booster shot six months, at the latest, after they’re fully vaccinated. But the certificate will be valid for three additional months as a grace period to ensure access to booster doses, the Commission added.    https://www.dw.com/en/covid-eu-vaccine-passports-only-valid-9-months-without-booster/a-60204437

2021-12-21 Steve Bannon Says ‘War on Unvaccinated’ Is Starting, Dismisses ‘Mass Vaccinations’ With Omicron spreading rapidly throughout the United States, Steve Bannon warned that he felt a “war” against unvaccinated people is coming and pushed back on the White House’s strategy to fight the pandemic by increasing inoculations. Bannon, the former White House Chief Strategist under Donald Trump, called Omicron the strain of COVID-19 that could help America reach herd immunity. He noted that the variant, which is now the dominant strain in the U.S., is highly transmissible but believed to cause less severe disease than other variants. The goal of herd immunity, which is achieved through either large numbers of inoculations or a majority of people having antibodies due to previous infections, is to have enough people protected from a virus that it struggles to spread and thereby helps protect those who cannot be inoculated. https://www.newsweek.com/steve-bannon-says-war-unvaccinated-starting-dismisses-mass-vaccinations-1661785

2021-12-21 Intel Tells Unvaccinated Employees They Face Unpaid Leave Intel has told workers that unvaccinated people who don’t get an exemption for religious or medical reasons will be on unpaid leave beginning in April. The California-based semiconductor company told employees last month they had a Jan. 4 deadline to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or seek an exemption, citing a government mandate for federal contractors. ​​In a Dec. 7 memo to employees, Chief People Officer Christy Pambianchi told employees the Jan. 4 vaccine deadline remains in place. She wrote that employees who aren’t vaccinated must seek a medical or religious accommodation and submit to weekly testing, regardless of whether they are still working remotely. https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-business-health-religion-oregon-1366bdfdf1f72d947fddfe39694f2223

2021-12-21 Why I’m Pro-Vaccine but Anti-Vaccine Mandate Last Thursday, the University of California fired my good friend and new colleague, Aaron Kheriaty, for refusing vaccination. The next day, a federal circuit court allowed President Joe Biden‘s OSHA vaccine mandate to take effect throughout the United States, meaning many other citizens may soon be penalized. But we should not treat conscientious objectors to the vaccine like this. Dr. Kheriaty, a physician and psychiatrist, has taught and treated patients at the UC-Irvine Hospital and Medical School for 15 years. He has also directed the medical school’s bioethics program. He treated COVID patients throughout the pandemic, including when everyone was most concerned about the virus’ lethality. As a result, he caught the virus and developed natural immunity. https://www.newsweek.com/why-im-pro-vaccine-anti-vaccine-mandate-opinion-1661402

2021-12-21 Airline CEO Says ‘Idiot’ Anti-Vaxxers Should Not Be Allowed to Fly, Shop for Groceries The CEO of Ryanair, one of the largest airlines in Europe, said last week that those who have chosen not to get vaccinated against COVID-19 should be banned from various aspects of everyday life. Michael O’Leary told The Telegraph that authorities should be making life harder for “idiot” anti-vaxxers or those who’ve denied the jab without good cause. “If you’re not vaccinated, you shouldn’t be allowed in the hospital, you shouldn’t be allowed to fly, you shouldn’t be allowed on the London Underground, and you shouldn’t be allowed in the local supermarket or your pharmacy either,” O’Leary told the paper. https://www.newsweek.com/airline-ceo-says-idiot-anti-vaxxers-should-not-allowed-fly-shop-groceries-1661739

2021-12-21 Bill Gates Says He’s Canceled His Holiday Plans Due to Omicron, but He Believes the Wave Will Be Over by March Just when it seemed like life would return to normal, we could be entering the worst part of the pandemic,” Bill Gates said as he kicked off a Twitter thread about the variant. But the billionaire also said he believes this current wave of the coronavirus will be over by March of next year since the new coronavirus variant spreads so quickly. Because of its quick transmissibility, Gates thinks we could get out of this wave in under three months. https://www.businessinsider.com/bill-gates-canceled-holiday-plans-due-to-omicron-2021-12

Biden Plan Will Send out 500 Million Coronavirus Tests and Federal Vaccinators Across 12 States The White House says President Biden will deliver a speech Tuesday to announce a plan to distribute 500 million free at-home rapid COVID-19 tests beginning next month, as the administration ramps up attempts to deal with the spread of the Omicron variant. The administration says it will set up a website for Americans who want to request a test to be delivered to their homes for free.

The president’s so-called “winter plan” will also send 1,000 medical military members — including doctors, nurses, and other personnel — to hospitals overwhelmed with COVID patients and will set up more free federal testing sites.

And the administration says it will deploy hundreds of federal “vaccinators” across 12 states, Tribes, and territories to help “enable thousands of additional appointments over the next few weeks.” https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/21/22848070/biden-plan-coronavirus-tests-omicron-variant-testing-vaccine

2021-12-21 Vaccinated People With COVID May Soon Not Have to Isolate for 10 Days — if They’re Asymptomatic — Fauci Suggests The federal government is considering relaxing its guidance for people with COVID-19 to isolate for 10 days after developing symptoms — particularly for healthcare workers with asymptomatic cases — Dr. Anthony Fauci said Monday, as the U.S. faces a likely huge influx in mild breakthrough cases from the highly transmissible Omicron coronavirus variant.

Fauci was asked about the isolation period after Dr. Anish K. Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, suggested on Twitter the 10-day period may be “excessive” for people who have received booster shots and only have mild breakthrough cases — though he noted “more data” on exactly when people stop being contagious “would be nice.”

2021-12-21 Researchers Show How COVID Damages Immune System, Increasing Cancer Risks — Science Says Vaccines May Do the Same The discovery by Swedish researchers that the SARS-CoV-2 full-length spike protein weakens the adaptive immune system by damaging a crucial DNA repair mechanism raises questions about whether mRNA COVID vaccines could do the same — and whether that might increase a person’s risk of developing cancer.

Noting the importance of adaptive immunity versus innate immunity, the authors wrote: “Unlike innate immune responses, the adaptive responses are highly specific to the particular pathogen that induced them. They can also provide long-lasting protection. A person who recovers from measles, for example, is protected for life against measles by the adaptive immune system, although not against other common viruses, such as those that cause mumps or chickenpox.”

Data reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by Pfizer found a statistically significant 40% increase in suspected COVID cases, with 409 cases in the vaccinated group in the first week of the trial, compared to 287 in the placebo group.

The fact that the Swedish researchers reported a loss of immune function associated with the invasion of the spike protein into the cell nucleus, combined with previous clinical trial data that found transient reductions in the number of white blood cells, may explain reports of increased COVID infections shortly after vaccination. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/covid-vaccines-immune-system-cancer-risks/

2021-12-21 Biden Predicts ‘Winter of Severe Illness’ for Unvaccinated, Ignores Science on COVID Vaccines, Treatments In his speech today to the nation, President Biden invoked “overwhelming science” to justify his COVID solutions — vaccines, boosters and masking — but provided no details to back up the science behind his plan to end the pandemic.

But why would those solutions — the same solutions he’s been proposing all along — succeed now, when for the past two years, they’ve only failed? The president also blamed the ongoing rise in COVID cases on those purveying “dangerous misinformation” and “peddling lies.” He called out such actors as “wrong” and “immoral” and called on them to stop. Many, many times throughout today’s speech Biden pleaded for people to “please get vaccinated.”

But what the president didn’t say today was as significant as what he did say. Biden uttered not a word about effective early treatments that can save lives; about the staggering tally of injuries and deaths among the vaccinated and boosted; or about the science of antibody-dependent enhancement or pathogenic priming that seems to account for “breakthrough” cases among the vaccinated. Biden didn’t mention the states and corporations that refuse to uphold federal vaccine mandates; the obscene profits COVID vaccine makers are reaping; or the rampant, serious inflationary pressure his COVID policies have engendered.

It is hard to see that anything the president announced today will dramatically alter the current course of more fearmongering, more blame heaped on the unvaccinated, and more preventable deaths caused by the failure to promote safe and effective early treatments against COVID. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/biden-predicts-winter-of-severe-illness-unvaccinated

2021-12-21 Austrians at ‘Epicenter’ of Battle for Medical Freedom, Democracy three individuals close to the developing authoritarian crisis in Austria said the country is on the front lines of an ongoing dangerous medical experiment, testing the limits of social acquiescence and conformity in response to authority.

Austria is the first country in the world to propose compulsory vaccination by law. The government’s new mandates are likely to be approved by the legislature in January and are set to take effect in February 2022. As the law is currently written, the mandates will expire in January 2024. Those who don’t comply with vaccination and booster shot requirements will be required to pay quarterly fines, with the exception of pregnant women and children under 14, who will not be required to get the vaccine. In a nation of 9 million people claiming two-thirds of the population is vaccinated, the law will potentially ostracize and penalize at least a third of Austria’s citizens. The number of those fined could dramatically increase as people refuse additional boosters. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/austrians-battle-medical-freedom-democracy/?

2021-12-21 AP’s Hit Piece on RFK, Jr. Symbolizes Intellectual, Moral Collapse of Mainstream News Industry The mainstream media are incapable of facing the truth about Pharma because it would reveal their own complicity in crimes against humanity.

In their shame and humiliation, the object of their ire becomes Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Kennedy is everything they are not. He is smarter and more successful than they are. But more than that, Kennedy has moral character, something that is in vanishingly short supply in mainstream newsrooms these days. He has also more reach. COVID-19 information on Kennedy’s website, The Defender, is shared more often on social media than the corporate nonsense coming from CNN, NPR, New York Times, Washington Post and the CDC (no surprise there really). https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/associated-press-hit-piece-rfk-jr-mainstream-news-industry/

2021-12-20 Archbishop Viganò’s startling warning to the American people for two years now, a global coup has been carried out all over the world, planned for some time by an elite group of conspirators enslaved to the interests of international high finance. This coup was made possible by an emergency pandemic that is based on the premise of a virus that has a mortality rate almost analogous to that of any other seasonal flu virus, on the delegitimization and prohibition of effective treatments, and on the distribution of an experimental gene serum which is obviously ineffective, and which also clearly carries with it the danger of serious and even lethal side effects. https://progressiveissuesblog.wordpress.com/2022/01/05/2021-12-20-archbishop-viganos-startling-warning-to-the-american-people/
