2021-10-20 The Great New Normal Purge Relentless official propaganda demonizing “the Unvaccinated” is being pumped out by the corporate and state media, government leaders, health officials, and shrieking fanatics on social media. “The Unvaccinated” are the new official “Untermenschen,” an underclass of subhuman “others” the New Normal masses are being conditioned to hate. You can see the hatred in the New Normals’ eyes …

But it isn’t just a purge of “the Unvaccinated.” Anyone deviating from the official ideology is being systematically demonized and persecuted.

In Germany, Australia, and other New Normal countries, protesting the New Normal is officially outlawed. The New Normal Gestapo is going around to people’s homes to interrogate them about their anti-New Normal Facebook posts. Corporations are openly censoring content that contradicts the official narrative. New Normal goon squads roam the streets, checking people’s “vaccination” papers.

And it’s not just governments and corporations carrying out the New Normal Purge. Friends are purging friends. Wives are purging husbands. Fathers are purging children. Children are purging parents. New Normals are purging old normal thoughts. Global “health authorities” are revising definitions to make them conform to New Normal “science.” https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/10/20/the-great-new-normal-purge.aspx

2021-10-20 The Race Is on to Get Experimental COVID Shots Into Little Kids — Why? U.S. health officials, with unflagging support from the Biden Administration, are charging full speed ahead on plans to vaccinate children as young as 5 for COVID, despite the extremely low risk the virus poses to kids, and against the urgent warnings of scientists and doctors. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/experimental-covid-vaccines-young-children-pfizer-cdc-fda/

2021-10-19 Corporate Media Largely Silent as Millions Protest Vaccine Mandates Worldwide When protests in the United States happen that help the establishment in some way, whether by stoking divide or pushing an establishment agenda, corporate media is all over them, bombarding us with news of packed streets. However, when massive crowds take to the streets to have their anti-establishment voices heard, it’s crickets on FOXSNBCNN.

Such is the case recently as millions of people across the world have taken to the streets to protest the draconian laws which segregate society and deprive people of their freedoms over their choice in taking a vaccine they may not even need.

One place, in particular, that is currently seeing massive protests is Italy whose government just passed the strictest vaccine mandate in Europe. Starting on October 15, Italy begins enforcing the new workplace green pass requirement. If employees cannot show proof of vaccination, they will not be allowed to go to work nor will they be able to enter any public places like restaurants, theaters, gyms, etc. If an Italian citizen misses five days of work by failing to comply with the new mandate, the government forces their employer to stop paying them. If employees are caught working without a green pass, the state will extort them to the tune of $2,100 per instance.

A person who had the jab back in January and likely has very few antibodies left is considered “green.” However, at the same time, a person who may have caught covid last month and recovered, thereby drastically reducing their ability to catch and spread the disease, is considered a threat and cannot go to work or public places. There is zero logic in these mandates, which prove one thing — they are about control — not your safety. https://www.activistpost.com/2021/10/corporate-media-largely-silent-as-millions-protest-vaccine-mandates-worldwide.html

2021-10-19 Have you Lost Your Job for Refusing the COVID Shot? You are NOT Alone! Many brave men and women are losing their jobs today because they refuse to comply with immoral mandates to let others control their bodies and their health. From doctors, nurses, educators, firefighters, and sports professionals to people from all walks of life, many have chosen to stand on faith and truth, no matter what it takes, and resist COVID vaccine mandates.

Politicians and the judicial system are serving their masters on Wall Street in allowing this to happen, but there is still a latent power in this country, and around the world, that could upend their plans, and that is the power of the people who refuse to comply. https://www.activistpost.com/2021/10/have-you-lost-your-job-for-refusing-the-covid-shot-you-are-not-alone.html

2021-10-19 Dozens Of Top Nuclear Scientists With “Highest Security Clearances” Being Fired From Los Alamos Lab After Vax Mandate A last Friday deadline for Los Alamos National Lab employees to get vaccinated has come and gone, with a judge on the same day denying a request by 114 employees there to block the nuclear lab’s vaccine mandate from taking effect.

In the last days the employees, including top nuclear engineers and scientists, have literally taken to the streets outside the lab, protesting the mandate which orders them to get their first dose of the Covid vaccine or face termination.  “The plaintiffs include scientists, nuclear engineers, project managers, research technicians and others who have some of the highest security clearances in the nation for the work they do.”

Further the report underscored they would be “difficult to replace” in the short term. “Some of the employees who are part of the lawsuit have worked for Los Alamos lab for decades, while others are newer hires who have relocated to New Mexico from other states and countries,” the report added. “Thirty-four of them are named in the lawsuit and 80 have opted to remain anonymous, citing fears of retaliation.” https://www.activistpost.com/2021/10/dozens-of-top-nuclear-scientists-with-highest-security-clearances-being-fired-from-los-alamos-lab-after-vax-mandate.html

2021-10-14 Biologist Tells RFK, Jr: Science Doesn’t Support Vaccine Mandates    In the latest episode of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s “The Defender Show,” Christina Parks, who has a Ph.D. in molecular and cellular biology, explains why she testified at the Michigan House of Representatives against vaccine mandates.    

mandating something to be injected into somebody’s body is “just ridiculous,” and vaccine passports are “blatantly illegal.”   Parks said there are two reasons she objects to vaccine mandates and passports: lack of informed consent and lack of science to support them.  

Parks explained how mRNA vaccines were never designed to prevent transmission of the pathogen, even though they were marketed that way. All you have to do, she said, is read and understand the clinical trials.  Parks pointed out that she belongs to the two demographic groups that are most vaccine-hesitant: Ph.D.s and African Americans.

According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as of Oct. 4, of the 61% of Americans who have received at least one vaccine dose, 11% are Black. In contrast, 60% are white, 17% are Hispanic and 6% are Asian.   Parks said African Americans are vaccine-hesitant because “they rightly do not trust the government,”. 

Parks said she is furious Congress will not investigate the CDC and the willing medical and scientific participants.   “It’s criminal to me, what they’ve done,” she said, noting the lies, mistreatment and experimentation are happening all over again with vaccine mandates. 

As for Ph.D.s being vaccine-hesitant, Parks said the reasoning is different. A study conducted by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh found COVID vaccine hesitancy held constant in the group of individuals who have obtained higher levels of education.  https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/rfk-jr-defender-christina-parks-science-vaccine-mandates

2021-10-14 Watch: Joe Rogan Gets Dr. Sanjay Gupta to Admit CNN Lied About Ivermectin   On the latest episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, host Joe Rogan and Sanjay Gupta, CNN’s chief medical correspondent, went head to head on a number of COVID-related topics, including why CNN told viewers Rogan took “horse dewormer” when he had COVID.      

Rogan asked Gupta why a professional news outlet such as CNN would do this when ivermectin had been “shown to stop viral replication in vitro … and has been prescribed to billions of people … why would they lie and say that’s horse dewormer?”

“Don’t you think a lie like that is dangerous on a news network?” asked Rogan.   “They shouldn’t have said it was horse dewormer,” Gupta conceded, adding that he  “doesn’t know” why CNN lied about ivermectin.   https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/joe-rogan-sanjay-gupta-cnn-lied-ivermectin/  

2021-10-14  21-Year-Old Fully Vaccinated Student Dies of COVID, as Breakthrough Cases Continue to Climb   Shawn Kuhn, a fully vaccinated senior at the University of Georgia who was majoring in exercise and sports science, died Oct. 11, more than six weeks after developing COVID symptoms.

The latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show as of Oct. 4, 30,177 patients were hospitalized or died despite being fully vaccinated — a number the agency acknowledges is an undercount of all SARS-CoV-2 infections among fully vaccinated persons.

According to the CDC, a vaccine breakthrough case occurs when someone tests positive for COVID at least 14 days after being fully vaccinated. According to the CDC’s website, people with vaccine breakthrough infections may spread the virus and infect others. As of May 1, the CDC stopped tracking all COVID vaccine breakthrough cases — instead tracking only those breakthrough cases which result in hospitalization or death.   https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/21-year-old-shawn-kuhn-fully-vaccinated-student-dies-covid/

2021-10-14 CCC District V News – Lifting Masking Requirements in Some Indoor Settings on Nov. 1 (MEK Note: This totally ignores the reality that vaccinated people can have Covid-19 and pass it on to others. Last time this policy was implemented back in May 2021 by the CDC and White House there was a massive surge in Covid-19 cases two weeks later which was conveniently blamed on the unvaccinated despite the fact that they were still masked and shunned from these vaccinated gatherings!) With COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations declining, Contra Costa County will lift masking requirements in certain indoor settings where everyone is fully vaccinated on Nov. 1. Eligible settings include controlled spaces not open to the general public, such as: Offices, Gyms and fitness centers, Employee commuter vehicles, Indoor college classes, Organized gatherings in any other indoor setting, such as a religious gathering

Eligible participating businesses, organizations and hosts must verify that all patrons, employees and attendees are fully vaccinated before allowing people inside their facilities not to wear face coverings.  There can be no more than 100 persons present at these facilities, and the group of those present must gather on a regular basis. Those present should also not have COVID-19 symptoms https://progressiveissuesblog.wordpress.com/2021/11/01/2021-10-14-ccc-district-v-news-lifting-masking-requirements-in-some-indoor-settings-on-nov-1/

2021-10-13 Nearly 45,000 Breakthrough COVID Cases Reported in Mass. Since July Nearly 45,000 fully vaccinated Massachusetts residents have now tested positive for COVID-19 and 345 of them have died, according to the latest state data on breakthrough cases published Tuesday. The Department of Public Health has tracked a cumulative 44,498 confirmed COVID-19 infections among those fully vaccinated in the state to date.  https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/nearly-45000-breakthrough-covid-cases-reported-in-mass-since-july/2515455/

2021-10-13 Alex Berenson Tells Joe Rogan: ‘Vaccine Mandates Have Absolutely Nothing to Do With Medical Realities’   New York Times best-selling author, Alex Berenson, who was permanently suspended from Twitter, appeared on “The Joe Rogan Experience” for a wide-ranging discussion on COVID vaccines, including why people who normally distrust industry and its influence over public policy are willing to line up for vaccines.

Berenson told Rogan the number of fully vaccinated people dying from COVID is rising, according to data in most countries. He pointed to what he claims is the best national data available, data from Israel and the UK.

“The best data we have comes out of the UK and Israel,” Berenson said. “And in the UK, at least 70% of the people who died from COVID in August were fully vaccinated, and that’s straight from British government documents.”   Berenson said Israel, which began vaccinating earlier than any other country, mandated a third, booster shot because data showed fully vaccinated people were losing their immunity and dying from COVID.

So there’s a really good paper that came out of Israel which showed that natural antibodies fall about 5% or 10 percent a month, while vaccine-induced immunity falls more than 40% per month.”

“Folks be really clear about this, vaccine mandates are a form of control. If you got your shots in January, your immunity, by all official science, is waning now, but you can still go wherever you want, but someone who got COVID a couple of weeks ago and has rock solid antibodies isn’t allowed to go anywhere indoors, I have a real concern about this.”    “vaccine mandates have absolutely nothing to do with medical realities.”

“I’m so struck by the left’s willingness to buy into the narrative that the pharmaceutical industry is selling,”   “This is the first time in history that the most educated and wealthier type of people have said ‘I wanna be the guinea pig,”   https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/joe-rogan-alex-berenson-covid-vaccines-mandates-big-pharma/

2021-10-13 China to Test Thousands of Wuhan Blood Samples in COVID Probe    China is preparing to test tens of thousands of blood bank samples from the city of Wuhan as part of a probe into the origins of COVID-19, according to a Chinese official. The move comes amid increasing calls for transparency over the emergence of the virus.

The store of up to 200,000 samples, including those from the closing months of 2019 were pinpointed in February this year by the World Health Organization’s panel of investigators as a possible source of key information that could help determine when and where the virus first crossed into humans. The samples are kept in the Wuhan Blood Center, and are thought to span 2019, providing real-time tissue samples from a wide swathe of the population in the Chinese city where SARS-CoV-2 is thought to have first infected humans.    https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/12/asia/china-wuhan-blood-samples-covid-19-probe-intl-cmd/index.html

2021-10-13 Physician to FDA, CDC: In 20 Years of Practicing Medicine, ‘I’ve Never Witnessed So Many Vaccine-Related Injuries’    Dr. Patricia Lee, a licensed physician in California, said her experience with patients harmed by the COVID vaccine “does not comport with claims made by federal health authorities regarding the safety of COVID-19 vaccines.”

In the letter to FDA and CDC, Lee described observing “entirely healthy individuals suffering serious, often fatal, injuries,” including transverse myelitis, resulting in quadriplegia, pneumocystis pneumonia, multi-system organ failure, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, postpartum hemorrhagic shock and septic shock.  Lee, a practicing physician for more than 20 years, said she “never witnessed so many vaccine-related injuries until this year.”

Lee acknowledged that her report reflects the experience of a single physician. However, she wrote, it appears “statistically improbable” that any one physician should witness this many COVID-19 vaccine injuries if the federal health authority claims regarding the vaccines’ safety were accurate.

Since the issuing of the original letter, Lee’s attorneys sent another letter to the CDC and FDA saying that the agencies’ “failure to respond is highly concerning,”   https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/dr-patricia-lee-fda-cdc-vaccine-related-injuries/

2021-10-13 WHO Announces New Expert Group to Investigate Origins of COVID and Other Outbreaks   The World Health Organization on Wednesday named 26 scientists to a new advisory body devoted to understanding the origins of COVID-19 and other future outbreaks, marking a change in approach for the world’s top global health body to one of the most politically sensitive issues of a pandemic that has killed more than 4.8 million people. The group includes scientists from the United States and China, as well as 24 other nations, and will be formalized after a brief period of public consultation. It is set to consider not only the big, unresolved question of the novel coronavirus — how did it first infect humans? — but it will also establish a framework for future outbreaks involving other pathogens so that similar big questions are not left unresolved again.    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/who-announces-new-expert-group-to-investigate-origins-of-covid-19-and-other-outbreaks/ar-AAPsQk2

2021-10-13 Watch: Merck’s COVID Pill Could Transform Treatment. Here’s How It Works   Earlier this month, study results showed that molnupiravir, Merck’s investigational antiviral pill, cut hospitalization rates of COVID-19 patients by about half. Molnupiravir is the first oral treatment that has shown promise in treating COVID-19. Another antiviral, remdesivir, can only be administered intravenously.

“Having an oral option will be a big change,” said Benjamin Gewurz, associate director of the Ph.D. program in virology at Harvard Medical School. “Some people could just take a pill rather than having an IV or injection of some sort. And that’s what would be a huge, huge advance.”    https://www.statnews.com/2021/10/13/molnupiravir-merck-covid-pill-how-it-works/

2021-10-13 Sen. Rand Paul: ‘We’ve Got Fauci Spreading Mistruths Across the Country’  Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Monday criticized the media and Dr. Anthony Fauci for spreading mistruths about COVID, and for their role in causing unnecessary deaths by politicizing the science around COVID vaccines and treatments.  They’re saying we’ve got to forcibly vaccinate the kids,” Paul said. “There’s no science behind any of that.”

Paul, who said he refused to get the COVID vaccine because he already had the virus, and has natural immunity, has been an outspoken critic of Fauci and the Biden administration for their handling of the pandemic.   In July, he accused Fauci of lying to Congress about approving funding for gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and called on the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate.

Paul told the U.S. Senate on Monday it’s time to stop censoring people just for asking questions about COVID policies, and get back to the ideas of classical liberalism, where “we debated things.”   https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/rand-paul-fauci-mistruths-covid-deaths-vaccines-treatments/

2021-10-12 White House Tells States to Prepare for COVID Vaccinations in Young Children   The White House told governors to start preparing to vaccinate children as young as 5 by early next month in anticipation of clearance of Pfizer‘s COVID vaccine for the age group in the coming weeks, a White House official said. The Biden administration has purchased 65 million pediatric doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, enough to vaccinate the estimated 28 million children who would be eligible should the Food and Drug Administration approve Pfizer’s request to vaccinate children ages 5 to 11, said an official of the Department of Health and Human Services.    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/white-house-tells-states-prepare-covid-vaccinations-young-children-n1281384

2021-10-12 Fully Vaccinated Are COVID ‘Super-Spreaders,’ Says Inventor of mRNA Technology   On the latest episode of “The Hidden Gateway” podcast, Dr. Robert Malone, recognized for his role in inventing mRNA vaccine technology, said, “The idea that if you have a workplace where everybody’s vaccinated, you’re not going to have virus spread is totally false. A total lie.” 

Malone likened what’s going on today with COVID vaccines to the illegal medical experiments conducted by Nazi Germany. “[During the Second World War], Jews and other ethnic groups were subjected to horrible experimental medical research,” Malone said. “And they justified it by saying it was for the common good.”    Governments are employing different forms of coercion to drive vaccine uptake, policies Malone said he believes are illegal.

Malone denounced the “noble lie” as “paternalistic authoritarianism.” He said the idea of governance-by-lying goes back to Plato and Ancient Greek philosophy which argues that it’s  “okay for politicians and people in authority positions to lie to the general public because they have special knowledge and ability to understand things … and the general public can’t cope with that level of information. And so it’s okay to lie to them.”   “I really disagree with this line of thinking,” Malone said. “Yet it has been public policy in the United States and worldwide in public health for a very long time.”    https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/justin-williams-robert-malone-fully-vaccinated-covid-super-spreaders/

2021-10-12 Saliva Test May Predict COVID Severity Among Children, Penn State Research Finds   A simple saliva test may be able to determine which children are at greater risk of developing severe COVID-19 symptoms, according to early research findings by doctors at Pennsylvania State University.

While the vast majority of children who contract the virus experience only mild symptoms or none at all, early identification of those who are at risk of developing severe cases would help doctors better monitor and intervene before children become critically ill, said Steven Hicks, a pediatrician at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital and coauthor of the study.   https://www.inquirer.com/health/coronavirus/coronavirus-covid-19-children-saliva-early-detection-20211012.html

2021-10-12 NYT Vastly Overstates Number of Children Hospitalized With COVID, as Data Show COVID Risk for Kids ‘Not Extraordinary Threat’    The New York Times last week corrected an article which said nearly 900,000 children have been hospitalized with COVID in the U.S., when the actual number is 63,000. An op-ed in today’s Times cited data showing an unvaccinated child has less risk of being infected with the virus than a fully vaccinated 70-year-old.   

Hospitalization rates by both age and vaccination status in King County, Washington, contain some of the country’s most detailed COVID data, showing that the risks for unvaccinated children look similar to the risks for vaccinated people in their 50s.

According to an article published today in The New York Times, nationwide statistics from the UK showed an even larger age gap. Unvaccinated children under 12 (a group combined with unvaccinated children under 18 in the next graph) appeared to be at a lower risk of COVID infection than vaccinated people in their 40s, if not 30s.

 “COVID is a threat to children. But it’s not an extraordinary threat,” Dr. Alasdair Munro, a pediatric infectious-disease specialist at the University of Southampton, said in a tweet. “It’s very ordinary. In general, the risks from being infected are similar to the other respiratory viruses you probably don’t think much about.”   For children without a serious medical condition, the danger of severe COVID is so low as to be difficult to quantify. For children with such a condition, the danger is higher but still lower than many people believe, the Times reported.  

In a presentation published Oct. 4, by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, Dr. Peter McCullough, a consultant, cardiologist and one of the top five most-published medical researchers in the U.S., urged “relentless, and unbreakable resistance” to COVID vaccination of children.  “Myocarditis is certainly very real. It’s due to the vaccine,” McCullough said.

“The chances of myocarditis, and hospitalization with myocarditis for one of these children who is going to be forced into vaccination … is greater than being hospitalized for COVID-19. So, it’s much better for the children to not get vaccinated and take the risk of the respiratory infection.”     https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/new-york-times-overstates-number-children-hospitalized-covid/

2021-10-12 FDA Grapples With Timing of Booster for J&J COVID Vaccine   The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday it is wrestling with whether and when recipients of the single-shot Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine need another dose — at six months or as early as two months.   In an online review, FDA scientists didn’t reach a firm conclusion, citing shortcomings with J&J’s data, including little information on protection against the extra-contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus.  https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-science-sports-business-health-308a0d7add795125940678f22cbd2b71

2021-10-11 Ominous B1 Deficiency Found Throughout Food Chain

Thiamine is sometimes referred to as an “antistress” vitamin for its positive influence on your central nervous system, and it’s also important for healthy immune function. In addition to nutrients such as zinc and vitamins C and D, vitamin B1 (thiamine) may actually be crucial to protect against infectious respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19.

Thiamine deficiency syndrome (beriberi) has also been implicated in other types of severe infections and bears many similarities to sepsis. This is one of the reasons why thiamine is such an important part of Dr. Paul Marik’s sepsis treatment.1 Sepsis, in turn, is a major contributor in influenza deaths in general, and a primary cause for COVID-19 deaths specifically.

While thiamine deficiency is often the result of alcohol misuse, chronic infections, poor nutrition and/or malabsorption, recent research suggests vitamin B1 availability has dramatically declined throughout the food chain in recent years.2

• Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is used by nearly all your cells, metabolizing the carbohydrates and lipids in the foods you eat, helping to convert food into energy and boosting the flow of electrolytes in and out of your nerves and muscles
• Thiamine is important for healthy immune function, and may actually be crucial to protect against infectious respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19
• While thiamine deficiency is often the result of alcohol misuse, chronic infections, poor nutrition and/or malabsorption, recent research suggests vitamin B1 has dramatically declined throughout the food chain in recent years
• The transfer of thiamine up the food chain may be blocked by a number of factors, including the overabundance of thiaminase, an enzyme that destroys thiamine. Thiaminase is naturally present in certain microorganisms, plants and fish that have adapted to use it to their advantage
• Thiamine deficiency has been identified in dozens of animal species and is now suspected of driving declines in wildlife populations across the northern hemisphere. This means our diets are likely to be low in thiamine, thereby raising the risk for thiamine deficiency in the human population

2021-10-11 44,400 Breakthrough Cases Recorded in Indiana; 420 Fully Vaccinated Residents Have Died   Nearly 45,000 people in Indiana have been infected with COVID-19 despite being fully vaccinated, with more than 400 dying from the virus, according to the state’s health department.    In the latest data published Thursday, 44,479 breakthrough COVID-19 cases have been recorded since the beginning of the pandemic — 5,303 more cases since the update on Sept. 30. The total number of cases represents 1.348% of the state’s fully vaccinated population.   https://www.ibtimes.com/44400-breakthrough-cases-recorded-indiana-420-fully-vaccinated-residents-have-died-3314156

2021-10-11 How Zinc Can Boost Your Immune Health  

Dr. John Campbell, he reviews some of the science behind the association between zinc and the immune system. He believes it is one biological basis for an “altered resistance to infection.” But, beyond the immune functions I discuss below, it’s important to know that zinc plays other important biological roles.

For example, you have at least 300 enzymes that require zinc to function normally. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has identified several common human coronaviruses that are responsible for upper respiratory tract illnesses, like the common cold. Although a cold is usually a minor condition, it is also responsible for most doctor’s office visits every year.

A cold can last as short as a week, but in children and the elderly it can last longer. Cold symptoms include stuffy head, runny nose, sore throat, headache and sometimes a fever. These are some of the same symptoms of influenza, but the symptoms are often worse and include fever and body chills.

Although research has demonstrated the significantly positive effect zinc has on the immune system and on shortening upper respiratory infections caused by common cold viruses, further research in 2020 has demonstrated that zinc is crucial to immune system function and deficiency may be linked to individuals who have severe COVID-19 illness.

• Zinc is essential for the normal development and function of your immune system as it protects against susceptibility to pathogens, mediates natural killer cells, activates T-lymphocytes, regulates macrophages and is central to DNA replication
• Evidence shows zinc helps protect the body from COVID-19 by impairing viral replication in the cell, supporting ciliary growth and function in the respiratory system and improving the respiratory epithelial barrier
• A zinc deficiency is associated with many of the comorbidities linked to COVID-19, including obesity, kidney disease, tobacco smoking, diabetes and autoimmune diseases
• Using a zinc ionophore helps move zinc into the cells where it can impair viral replication. Zinc ionophores include hydroxychloroquine, quercetin and EGCG found in green tea
• Zinc supplementation may trigger a zinc/copper imbalance. It is best to consistently get your zinc from food and use supplementation during an acute illness

2021-10-11 Masking, protests, multiple waves: How the 1918 flu pandemic is eerily similar to and alarmingly different than the COVID-19 pandemic.   There are many similarities between the pandemics of 1918 and today, but a global health expert warns of a critical difference that will impact the end of COVID-19.

Dr. Jonathan Quick teaches global health studies at Duke’s Global Health Institute and has poured his study of centuries of infectious diseases into his book The End of Epidemics: The Looming Threat to Humanity and How to Stop It, which was first published in 2018, before the emergence of COVID-19. He was also former Director of Essential Drugs and Medicines Policies at the World Health Organization.    https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/1918-flu-pandemicsimilar-different-covid-19-pandemic-duke-health-institute/275-deb940c3-d66e-4119-8b88-2badbde2c17f?

2021-10-11 CNN Takes Another Stab at My ( Dr. Joseph Mercola) Best-Seller

August 4, 2021, CNN aired a hit piece on me based on a fabricated report by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) — a report that has since been refuted by Facebook itself.   According to the CCDH, I am No. 1 of a dozen individuals responsible for 65% of all anti-vaccine content on social media and should therefore be stripped of my First Amendment rights to free speech and banned from all platforms.

CNN reporter Randi Kaye, who wasn’t wearing a mask at the time, asked me about why I say masks don’t work, and whether I “feel responsible” for the deaths of unvaccinated people

The U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) had as of September 24, 2021, received 15,937 reports of deaths shortly after the COVID injection, and a report by Steve Kirsch provides compelling evidence that side effects are underreported by a factor of 41. That means the death toll may be closer to 250,000.   Does CNN regret having lured all of these people to their deaths by refusing to report anything negative about these experimental injections?

At the end of that segment (below), Kaye decries the success of my best-selling book, “The Truth About COVID-19: Exposing the Great Reset, Lockdowns, Vaccine Passports, and the New Normal,” refusing to even state its title.   So far, the book has sold more than 250,000 copies, and all proceeds are being donated to the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), the oldest and largest vaccine safety advocacy group in the U.S.

• August 4, 2021, CNN aired a hit piece on me based on a fabricated report by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), which has since been refuted by Facebook
• October 4, 2021, CNN aired a follow-up, urging Amazon to get into the book burning business by banning sale of my best-selling book, “The Truth About COVID-19: Exposing the Great Reset, Lockdowns, Vaccine Passports, and the New Normal”
• They claim my book is full of “lies,” “misinformation” and “mistruths.” But not a single piece of evidence to back that up is presented
• By and large, the COVID shot is unnecessary for most people, for the simple reason that most people aren’t at risk of dying from COVID-19
• Your risk of dying from COVID-19 is less than 1%, and your absolute risk reduction from the COVID shot is right around 1% (maxing out at 1.3%). This means it is mathematically impossible for COVID “vaccines” to have a favorable impact on public health
