Prominent Democrats Doubt the Safety and Efficacy of a COVID Vaccine They Now Demand Everyone Take


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 19, 2021 | Sundance | 119 Comments

It’s easy to forget the previous position of nationally recognized and prominent Democrats regarding vaccine safety and efficacy. However, this short video summary provides examples of where they stood only a few months ago.

Not only did the top national Democrats question the safety of the COVID vaccine, but some also wanted to see the FDA and CDC taken apart so they could not push the vaccine upon American citizens.  WATCH:

In order for Democrats to advance their ideological agenda, they will ALWAYS pretend not to know things.

They Are Losing Control of the COVID Narrative, and They Will Respond with More Restrictions


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 19, 2021 | Sundance | 385 Comments

The people who benefit from the weaponization of a virus to attain ideological political objectives are losing control over the COVID narrative.  The over-the-top proclamations of danger from the Omicron variant are their visible reaction.  The people who need the control that COVID provides fear losing that control, thus, they need Omicron.

Dr. Francis Collins made several media appearances today, but only one of them is hidden from public view and difficult to find in order to share, the Collin’s appearance on FOX News Sunday.   Why is that interview hidden?  Because NIH Director Francis Collins was challenged to explain the email he wrote demanding a “quick and devastating takedown” of three renowned scientists whose opinion ran counter to Collins and Fauci lockdown and pro-vaccine agenda.

The critiquing scientists wrote: “We have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of prevailing COVID-19 policies. Continuing current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long term public health.”  Collins responded to that criticism by demanding the scientists be targeted.

I cannot provide the video, but if you find it – watch it for his physical discomfort.  However, I can share the transcript:  UPDATE: Found it, see below

COLLINS: […] How did we get all of this so mixed up with social media, misinformation, and political insertion into the discussion? This is the thing for me on my last day as NIH director that I find particularly frustrating.

BAIER: Yes. Dr. Collins, we always hear follow the science and, you know, science is observation, description, experimentation and explanation, but it seems that a lot of health policymakers have been trying to silence opposing views.

In a newly released set of emails received from Freedom of Information Act between you and Dr. Fauci in October 2020, you reference the Great Barrington Declaration, that was a group of epidemiologists and public health scientists who wrote, quote, “We have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of prevailing COVID-19 policies. Continuing current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long term public health.

In this email to Dr. Fauci and Cliff Lane at NAH, you write, quote, “Hi Tony and Cliff, see” — and you connected the Great Barrington Declaration link. “This proposal from three fringe epidemiologists who met with the Secretary seems to be getting a lot of attention — and even a co-signature from a Nobel Prize winner Michael Leavitt at Stanford. There needs to be a quick and devastating public takedown of its premises. I don’t see anything like that online yet. Is it underway? Francis.”

Did you write that?

COLLINS: I did write that, and I will stand by that. Let me explain. What was being proposed there was basically saying, let’s not worry about mitigation, let’s just let this virus rip. This is, of course, before we had vaccines and, basically, these — I will call them fringe epidemiologists who really did not have the credentials to be making such a grand sweeping statement — were saying, just let the virus run through the population and eventually then everybody will have had it and we’ll be OK. Hundreds of thousands of people would have died if we had followed that strategy, so I’m sorry, I was opposed to that, I still am and I am not going to apologize for it. There are times when people make crazy proposals on the basis of pseudoscience, and that needs to be called out.

BAIER: Right. But I guess it just follows this track with the early days downplaying or try to discredit the lab leak theory from Wuhan, why spend the time doing that when we’re talking about observation, description, extermination, and explanation? I mean, now it seems like the lab leak is a real possibility.

COLLINS: Well, Bret, I’m really sorry that the lab leak has become such a distraction for so many people, because, frankly, we still don’t know. There is no evidence really to say. Most of the scientific community, myself included, think that is a possibility but far more likely this was a natural way in which a virus left a bat, maybe traveled through some other species and got to humans, and there was no lab leak involved. We won’t know until — unless China decides to open up about this, which they have not done, and shame on them for that.

BAIER: Dr. Collins —

COLLINS: But this has been a huge distraction.

Francis Collins is making a strawman argument as to the justification for his political demand to undermine scientific opposition.  The three scientists were not advocating to put vulnerable people at risk, or letting the virus just run through the population.  They were arguing the severity of the NIH and CDC response.  The lockdowns and mitigation effort, was disproportionate to the risk the virus presented.

The scale of overreaction -not only in the email- from the medical and scientific establishment to any counter opinion or criticism only points out how those who made these decisions were/are incapable of accepting criticism.  That is a dangerous personality trait.

Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins are thin-skinned, unstable ideologues with visions of grandiosity. They have wreaked havoc on our nation and permeated a major crisis on the global stage.   These are not mentally or emotionally stable people, and it shows.

These are people who needed a career operating in government systems and institutions, because they could never be successful in the private sector.  They are devoid of skills needed outside academia and institutional structure.  These are very disturbed minds who have allowed their power to influence their narcissistic self-image.

History will not look well upon Collins or Fauci any more than history reflects well upon Josef Mengele.

Neil Oliver Interviews Dr. Robert Malone


Posted originally on the conservative tree house December 19, 2021 | Sundance | 184 Comments

Within the U.K., Neil Oliver has surfaced as a reasonable and articulate voice for the average person, amid a nation of political leaders that seemingly have lost their ability to think rationally about COVID-19.  Indeed, we have watched Oliver speak eloquently to a rapidly growing audience thirsting for truth, amid a storm of widespread overreaction to COVID from U.K. government officials.

However, in the U.K. overall, there are few outlets for people to hear from any voice that runs counter to the government narrative.

Like Australia, the controls by British government over approved speech and appropriate discussion create heavy pressure upon media outlets who must obey rules and regulations that do not permit dissent on issues deemed ‘in the public health.’

As a result, this interview between Neil Oliver and Dr. Robert Malone is somewhat groundbreaking in how the GB News outlet is willing to broadcast a discussion that is generally forbidden by those who retain their tenuous grip on power through fear and intimidation.   Hopefully, this interview represents the first crack in the darkness for the British people, as they are exposed to professional medical opinion that runs counter to the government narrative for the first time.

Doctor Malone specifically states, in this interview, that children should not be vaccinated based on the risk/benefit analysis.  Additionally, Malone now states he is coming to the conclusion that COVID vaccines are no good for anybody any longer. For a U.K. broadcast this is a very controversial statement.

The segment begins at 32:50 (prompted):

Do the COVID-19 Vaccines Pose a Health Threat to Children?


Posted originally on TrialSite News by PaulAlexander on December 18, 20214 Comments

COVID-19 vaccines for children, our young children who bring statistical zero risk to the table, is all risk & no benefit, no opportunity for the benefit and only opportunity for harm, thousands can potentially die

The views expressed here are my own and not of any institution or this publishing organization. 

COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children, our young children who bring statistical zero risk to the table, is all risk & no benefit, no opportunity for benefit and only opportunity for harms, thousands can die needlessly. In my opinion, the heads of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Dr. Anthony and Dr. Francis Collins as well as the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Rochelle Walensky not to mention other key players such as Pfizer’s CEO Albert Bourla as well as other decision makers in public health risk catastrophe with this all-encompassing, mass vaccination program without considering the true risks involved.  Already mounting data suggests children face greater risks at least with myocarditis.  That is why countries in Scandinavia have stopped, at least temporarily, the use of the Moderna vaccine among young people under 30. In my personal opinion the aggressive rush for such a mass vaccination of children without understanding the true risks borderlines on criminality. Why isn’t there more discussion about the risk-benefit analysis of children associated with these new vaccines?  Why are health leaders so aggressively pushing this without more data?  While the aggressive push to “take the jab” continues there is no underlying analysis made available to the public clearly delineating the benefits significantly outweigh the risks to young people.

Under one year of data for adults in the development of vaccines is not a lot of time meaning there is little data, and hence understanding as to true long term impacts of mass vaccination with these novel products.  What if we end up harming many children—or worse, increasing mortality? 

I believe this mass vaccination program now targeting children at this stage is both reckless and carries with it a significant probability for danger. Healthy children and young persons come prepared with a pre-activated potent innate immunity (innate antibodies and innate cellular immunity as well as other components of the innate) that is their first line of defense and which has protected them against a broad range of pathogen including COVID virus. Subscribe to the Trialsitenews “Vaccine” ChannelNo spam – we promise

It always has and this is why the morbidity and mortality burden on them has been so low, so vanishingly low. While it is true a higher number children’s cases arrived with the more transmissible delta variant, the overall numbers based on what we know still lead to a different risk-benefit analysis for children versus adults.   The recent German study and Swedish study I cited in a prior Brownstone op-ed shows that when we look at healthy children, children with no medical conditions etc. and children really in general, that we find zero deaths. Put another way, the only children’s deaths associated from COVID-19 from this point of view associate with co-morbidity situations.  Martin Makary at Johns Hopkins University alluded to the same in the US when he examined the situation whereby any child who has had problems with COVID is a child typically with underlying illness including obesity that emerged as a super-loaded risk factor especially in the minority community and poorer communities. No one wants to lose a child and it is the greatest disaster and very painful and one will never recover, but we must be honest as we discuss this issue for serious implicating policy is made with little democratic input– we must separate emotions and hysteria and rhetoric from the table and talk pure science and evidence and sound risk-benefit strategies for vaccination 

While driving mass vaccination of children based on faulty assumptions is problem enough, if done so under false pretense or what I term “lies” then this crisis must be identified and called out. 

Now is the time to demand a proper risk-benefit analysis prior to any COVID inoculation programs targeting children and young people. A cross-representation of society, including parents, must wake up and understand the tremendous risks involved while action must be taken to ensure rational and safe approaches in response to the pandemic.  Our children are the most vulnerable in society to new vaccinations while they face the least risk with severe illness and mortality associated with COVID-19.  Also, it’s well acknowledged now that the current vaccines after just a few months do not universally stop transmission. 

Over the past 22 months during this pandemic data indicates children revealed a very low risk of acquiring infection in the first place, of spreading to other children, of spreading to adults and teachers, of taking it home, of getting seriously ill, or of dying from COVID. Based on my research I can find no evidence countering this evidence, with any variant! COVID has spared our children, other than a statistically small group experiencing certain comorbidities, and overall, the youth’s innate immune system affords great protection against severe disease.   Why breach this first-line, beautiful ‘gifted’ innate immunity by the hand of life—supporting natural acquired immunity to back up. 

Children can handle COVID exceptionally well so leave them alone! We are liable to hurt children in the short, medium, and long term with mass COVID vaccination. We may end up killing many with these safety untested vaccines. The proper follow-up was not done! 

We may witness our typically healthy children, who had no illness before the vaccine, become ill, some  I am troubled, seriously so. I plead with parents to step back and think carefully about this for these vaccines were accelerated and lack the type of safety testing data needed for us to ‘exclude harms’ as part of informed evidence-based decision-making. We cannot even access key underlying safety reports from the regulatory bodies or companies—FOIAs trigger heavily redacted documents and fully transparency is proposed in decades. PREP Act shields all organizations (pharma, hospitals, etc.) involved from any liability except for a small government fund capped at $50,000 per person.  (https://trialsitenews.com/fda-approval-of-pfizer-puts-consumers-in-ultimate-squeeze-prep-act-liability-shields-ongoing-while-fed-state-local-authorities-now-force-vaccinations/ ). A number of actions need to happen, and now. We must develop a transparent framework to understand the true risks and benefits of vaccination with children—and this can empower parents to make the most beneficial and rational of decisions on their children’s behalf.  Parents must demand that liability protection be removed so that if a child is harmed or dies, that they can take these decision-makers into a legal forum for redress. No liability = no trust. 

I warn.

Reports Surface of CDC Overcounting U.S. Vaccine Rates


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 18, 2021 | Sundance | 332 Comments

This is likely not surprising to many Americans; however, Bloomberg {LINK} and now Axios {LINK} are reporting that official U.S. CDC vaccination rates are considerably overstated.

The issue stems from exceptionally high previous vaccination rates reported by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) that remained static despite the same CDC reporting that vaccines continued.

Common sense would ask: if vaccination rates were long-ago in the 99% range for  age-groups the CDC reported, then how could the CDC continue assigning hundreds of thousands of new vaccinations into the group?   Thus, downward revisions are now being made to reconcile the issue.

Anecdotally, this would align with several tangential datapoints which have always seemed to be in conflict with the preferred government narrative.  Additionally, there’s also an obvious motive on behalf of the government to overinflate vaccination in order to generate peer pressure and the self-fulfilling prophecy needed to garner vaccine acceptance.

As now noted by Bloomberg:

[…] “CDC data show 240 million people with at least one shot, or about 72.5% of the population. But the agency says only 203 million are fully vaccinated, or 61.3%, an 11-percentage-point difference that is far larger than in other developed countries.

State and local officials say it’s improbable that 37 million Americans got one shot without completing their inoculations. Instead, they say, the government has regularly and incorrectly counted booster shots and second doses as first doses.” (more)

Perhaps this disparity reconciles why many people look quizzically at the high vaccine data while not finding any correlation to their own community, friends or family.  Indeed, there has always been a disconnect between the number of people the government reports as having been vaccinated, when contrast against the open admissions of those who have not wanted to participate in this wide-scale vaccination program.

Not only does this disconnect appear visible in the U.S., but clear examples of the seemingly odd disconnect also surface in Australia where the government vaccine mandate is perhaps the most extreme.

Vaccine hesitancy is not driven by pure opposition to vaccines in/of themselves; rather the commonsense hesitancy is driven by the reality of an mRNA vaccine potentially not being reversible if any long-term negative outcome was to eventually surface.

The unvaccinated population are essentially a real world control group, and in the interest of public disclosure, I am a member of that group.

Specific to the United States, we must also remember there is a large number, tens-of-millions of Americans, who have watched in real time how various institutions of government have been revealed to be corrupt.   Never before, in recent memory, have so many people lost trust in government institutions as a result of sunlight upon them.

Institutions including the U.S. Dept of Justice, the FBI and the various intelligence agencies, as well as corporate media, the U.S. education network, and now the medical establishment -writ large- have seen stunning collapses in trust and credibility.

The impact of the collapse in trust of those institutions is going to reverberate for generations. The issue of whether anything resembling their prior credibility ever being achieved again is an open-ended question for the next several generations.

Watching the metastatic virus of corruption and corporate influence infect the institutions of government is also not a unique issue for the United States.  Globally, one only has to glance around at the visible protests to see that trust in almost all government is now at its lowest point in memory.  That reality only provides more reason to doubt the vaccination rates being reported by those same corporate/government institutions.

The “we are doing it for your health” talking point seems absolutely ridiculous when you contrast that claim against the harm caused by the COVID dictates.  A solid argument can be made that the popular government deployed solution, totalitarian oppressions, has been far more detrimental than the virus itself.

Put all of that together with the visible anger amid the daily protests on almost every continent, and yeah, it makes sense to read that these vaccination rates are wildly over accounted by the government entities and institutions who have demanded them.

James Garrow, a spokesperson for the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, which has worked with the state to blend data sets for a more accurate view of vaccination trends, said “we don’t have any faith in the numbers on the CDC website, and we never refer to them.”

As Neil Oliver has stated frequently, “We are the many – they are the few.”  And given that reality, there must be a great deal of fear amid a group of politicians that eventually they will be overwhelmed.  Indeed, the need for control is a reaction to fear.

I am reminded of Poland in the mid 1980’s.

Various Omicron Data Suggests Minimal Health Concern Overall


Published originally on the conservative tree house on December 18, 2021 | Sundance | 208 Comments

Robert Malone MD, MS, provides some updated global reporting on the Omicron variant that complements the initial reporting, starting with a report from Denmark:

Published in: Eurosurveillance  Volume 26, Issue 50, 16/Dec/2021

♦ Denmark, as of December 9, 2021. Denmark has one of the highest RT-PCR testing capacities in the world and screens all positive RT-PCR tests with an Omicron-specific PCR – allowing screening for Omicron.

There have been 785 SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant cases identified in Denmark. The earliest Omicron cases in Denmark occurred before South Africa announced the emergence of this variant. Most cases were fully (76%) or booster-vaccinated (7.1%); 34 (4.3%) had a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection. The majority of cases with available information reported symptoms (509/666; 76%) and most were infected in Denmark (588/644; 91%).

One in five cases cannot be linked to previous cases, indicating widespread community transmission.

Nine cases have been hospitalized, one required intensive care and no deaths have been registered.

Highlights:

·      1.2% of cases have been hospitalized

·      0.3% in intensive care

·      0% deaths.

·      76% were fully or booster vaccinated, 14% not vaccinated

·      4.3% had previous SARS-CoV-2 infection

·      91% have no travel history, 9% reported travel

[Dr Malone]: “this study is important because although there are studies and spokespeople from South Africa stating similar results, the Danish population in terms of age, body weight, life expectancy, etc. is more similar demographically to the US population. This Danish study suggests that Omicron will affect the American population similarly.”

♦ Covid-19: Runny nose, headache, and fatigue are commonest symptoms of omicron, early data show

Published in: BMJ 2021; 375 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.n3103 (16 December 2021)

This College of London study shows that the top five symptoms reported for omicron infection are runny nose, headache, fatigue (either mild or severe), sneezing, and sore throat.  This study is in line with what the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and European countries such as Spain and France had all updated their advice. The authors recommend that the National Health Service should also amend their advice on Omicron.

This study is important because it is more evidence that 1) symptoms are more mild and 2) more evidence that Omicron has evolved to infect the upper respiratory system more readily than the lower respiratory tissue (see my earlier substack article on this topic).

New York State Assembly Advancing Legislation to Create Involuntary COVID Quarantine Camps


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 18, 2021 | Sundance | 319 Comments

Admittedly, it takes quite a bit to raise my blood pressure, but this is one of those real-world issues that does it.  There are a lot of really good people in upstate New York and outside the boundaries of that crazy city they are best known for.  The New York state assembly passing a bill [A416 LINK HERE] to set up involuntary COVID quarantine camps needs to be stopped right now.  This is nuts.

The bill is obtuse in the extreme, and grants the state permission to remove and detain someone defined as “a significant threat to public health.”  Those of you who have watched the creation of Quarantine Camps in Australia, and those who noted the ongoing activity in Australia seems designed to be a beta test for the USA, will quickly see the common thread with this proposal in New York.

The bill, A416, was originally introduced in January 2021 and made its way into committee.  According to The National Pulse, New York is about to vote on this bill on the floor on January 5, 2022 (about three weeks away).  You can provide feedback directly at the public link to the proposal [SEE HERE]

I am a firm believer in federalism, and the independent right of states to construct their own laws and choices.  However, that said, it is also important for everyone to stand up for our brothers and sisters, regardless of their location behind enemy lines, and assist them in the fight to retain their own freedom when possible.

Good grief, is there anything more anti-freedom than arbitrary power given to a governor and state bureaucracy that will enable the state to force people into detention camps.

The bill also says the government can, “require an individual who has been exposed to or infected by a contagious disease to complete an appropriate, prescribed course of treatment, preventive medication or vaccination.”  That seems like this bill gives the state the right to detain anyone they want and forcibly vaccinate them.

It seems unfathomable that New York citizens would grant the government this much power over their lives.  However, given what we are witnessing in Australia, New Zealand and parts of Europe, our confidence that this New York legislative effort will not succeed is considerably less than it was a year ago.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Ivermectin: The Ongoing Court Sagas

Ivermectin. The Ongoing Court Sagas

In what seems to be a daily occurrence, ivermectin is being administered to a COVID-19 patient after yet another legal battle. TrialSite News reported on Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton, Virginia, being held in contempt of court for the facility’s refusal to administer ivermectin to one of its patients, Kathleen Davies, as she struggled for survival with a severe case of COVID-19. Davies had been on a ventilator since November 3rd even after her doctor had prescribed ivermectin as a treatment. The hospital refused to administer the drug, claiming there wasn’t any “medical, legal or pragmatic basis” for doing so. Her adult children had to lawyer up.

Ralph Lorigo, the Buffalo, NY-based attorney who’s been profiled by TrialSite News, stepped in to help the Davies family. Lorigo and Christopher Davies, Kathleen’s son, filed suit against Fauquier Hospital. According to The Washington Post, Fauquier County Circuit Court Judge James P. Fischer ruled against the hospital and allowed ivermectin to be administered to Mrs. Davies. The judge didn’t rule on the efficacy of ivermectin but cited the “Right to Try” laws that allow terminally ill patients to use “unproven cures” when all other options are exhausted. 

This all happened after the court issued a contempt order against Fauquier Hospital, threatening the facility with fines of $10,000 to $50,000 per day. Ivermectin is, apparently, a “flashpoint” for the court system in the United States. TrialSite News has reported on several successful lawsuits against hospitals for the administration of the controversial drug. In some of these cases, ivermectin has saved lives.

But there still is hospital resistance to the use of ivermectin. In Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, Judge Richard M. Hughes III has denied an emergency injunction to force PA-based Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center to use ivermectin on a covid patient. According to The Morning Call of Lehigh Valley, Pa., Karen Ostopick has been on a ventilator since November 24th. The attending physicians have offered “no answers of their own” and refuse to administer ivermectin. Once again, this case has fallen under the purview of Ralph Lorigo who filed the petition to get the hospital to administer the drug. The patient’s daughter Katelyn Ostopick is a health care proxy for her mother. Katelyn secured a prescription from a licensed physician for ivermectin and offered to sign a document releasing Geisinger Hospital from any liability. The judge found no compelling evidence that administering ivermectin “will restore the patient to any previous status quo.” No decision on an appeal has been made.Subscribe to the Trialsitenews “Ivermectin” ChannelNo spam – we promise

Apparently, until there is a consensus on ivermectin, lawsuits will continue. Until then, is this a story that will be repeated? What about the patients? If the hospital protocol doesn’t work and the patient’s family signs a release of any liability claims, why on earth wouldn’t the hospital at least work with the patient’s family to try to save the patient’s life?

6th Circuit Federal Appeals Court Reinstates Biden Employer Vaccine Mandate


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 17, 2021 by Sundance

The White House fearmongering over the Omicron variant appears to have influenced a judicial review of the federal vaccine mandate. Perhaps, this explains part of the fear-porn motive.  [Court Opinion pdf Here]

More than two dozen legal challenges to the federal vaccine mandate for employers over 100 employees were consolidated into the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, Ohio.  That federal appeals court has reinstated Biden vaccine mandate for U.S. workers.

OHIO – A federal appeals court has reinstated the Biden administration’s vaccine and testing requirement for private businesses that covers about 80 million American workers.

The ruling by the 6th U.S. Court of Appeals in Cincinnati lifted a November injunction that had blocked the rule from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which applies to businesses with at least 100 workers.

In the decision Friday, the 6th Circuit noted that OSHA has historical precedent for using wide discretion to ensure worker safety and “demonstrated the pervasive danger that COVID-19 poses to workers—unvaccinated workers in particular—in their workplaces.”

[…] “COVID-19 is spreading in workplaces, and workers are being hospitalized and dying,” the Justice Department argued in a court filing on Friday. “As COVID-19 case numbers continue to rise and a new variant has emerged, the threat to workers is ongoing and overwhelming.”

[…]  OSHA, which polices workplace safety for the Labor department, developed the vaccine and testing requirements under emergency powers that allow the agency to shortcut the normal rulemaking process, which can take years. OSHA can issue an emergency workplace safety standard if the Labor secretary determines a standard is necessary to protect workers from a grave danger.

The White House has repeatedly argued that Covid presents a grave danger to workers, pointing to the staggering death toll from the pandemic and rising Covid infections across the U.S. (read more)

Was the judicial branch influenced by a highly political medical establishment pushing the administration talking points that Omicron will kill people?   It would appear from the appeals court ruling [pdf here]; the answer is yes.

How do we know the U.S. medical establishment is politically motivated on behalf of their allies in Big Pharma?

Consider this recently released email from NIH Director Francis Collins:

A Nobel Prize winner and two renowned epidemiologists from Harvard and Oxford University refute the COVID-19 narrative as pushed by Dr. Anthony Fauci and the NIH.

What is the response from the NIH?  To get someone to quickly to publish something, anything, that will “take down” the premise of their educated argument.

That my friends, is the essence of political motivation in the medical and scientific community.

The courts are staking their conclusions on a flawed predicate belief that national health services are operating in the best interest of the public health.  As a result of that false assumption, they trust the government to be looking out for the people.

“And though the forest was shrinking, the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that since her handle was made of wood, she was one of them.”…

…As a result, this long national nightmare continues.
