Covid 19 Vaccination: Leading to a Global Viral-Immune-Escape Catastrophe?

 Letter to Editor of Focus Malaysia

A LEADING global environmental virologist and microbiologist for 30 years and involved in human vaccine development for 23 years with various major pharmaceutical firms, Dr Geert Vanden Bossche warns that the global vaccination programme amid the global pandemic does more harm than good.

Expressing genuine concerns if the vaccination was the right thing to do against this super smart mutating coronavirus, he stated: “If you go to war, make sure you have the right weapon at the right time against the enemy that you understand enough.”

He further warns that the vaccination:

  • Creates more asymptomatic cases to spread the virus as the vaccines do not prevent infection and transmission;
  • Merely suppresses COVID-19 symptoms and can prevent hospitalisation and deaths. But at what price?
  • only stimulates artificially induced antigen-specific antibodies and not natural killer (NK) cells needed to neutralize the coronavirus effectively;
  • Allows antigen-specific antibodies, which may not work on new variants, to remain permanently and compete with, undermine and even destroy capable and loyal warrior NK cells;
  • Helps create new variants and “teaches” the virus on “viral immune escape”; and
  • It is a “lose-lose” situation that is dangerous at all levels, emphasizing that dealing with the coronavirus and pandemic must be based on science.

In a nutshell, if we aren’t cautious, humanity – facing a “global catastrophe without equal” – will suffer exponentially by this “emperor” virus. 

In June 2020, Ken Frazier, CEO of Merck, implored the need to understand the coronavirus more before rushing for a quick solution via vaccines. (Merck is the gold standard for vaccine development and had produced four out of seven successful vaccines in world history)

Merck was honest enough to give up its COVID-19 vaccine development programme to this mutating “emperor” virus to focus on a treatment or cure.

The Director of US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in stating in a CNN report on March 2 that gains made in the US including the mRNA vaccination could be wiped out by new variants. This supports Dr Bossche’s warning.

The US Government National Institutes of Health (NIH) has confirmed that the mRNA vaccine is a form of gene therapy, an approach that can have “serious health risks, such as toxicity, inflammation and cancer.”

Already, there are many reported cases worldwide about unexplained deaths and suffering from severe side effects after taking the Pfizer product.

Being constructive and based on Dr Bossche’s revelatory warning, we appeal to the Government and its relevant agencies to:

  • Urgently consider deferring, if necessary, the mRNA vaccination programme to truly curb long-term harm;
  • Do an honest “benefits versus risks” analysis for every vaccine purchased based on the latest information (It is UNFAIR to lump these vaccines together as not all vaccines are equal. We are NOT anti-vaxxers but pro-SAFE vaccines);
  • Keep its promise NOT to force – directly or indirectly – vaccination, especially with the experimental mRNA vaccine, which is a breach of the Nuremberg Code; and
  • Consider (after a study) using more appropriate, much safer, and tried and tested vaccines such as using inactivated or attenuated virus technology while choosing the right timing to enforce the vaccination programme.

Therefore, we urge the Government to immediately approve Ivermectin, a repurposed” wonder drug” that’s easily available, very safe and effective in preventing and treating COVID-19 and also fund a low-cost Ivermectin Programme.

We are aware that Ivermectin poses a major financial threat to some big pharmaceutical firms and unfortunately. Ivermectin is being discredited and demonized by people with selfish interest, whose biased views must be seriously dismissed.

In fact, Ivermectin has already been proven to be safe for over 40 years. The Government has nothing to lose by immediately approving Ivermectin in Malaysia, as a prescribed drug. There is no need to wait for clinical trials as people are dying fast and getting infected from COVID-19.

We state clearly here that we do not have vested interest, directly or indirectly, in the manufacturing, selling or distribution of Ivermectin. – March 12, 2021

Who Gives a Damn If Someone Asked About the Color of Archie's Skin?

The British tabloids are in uproar because Meghan ReMarkable claimed a member of the Royal Family questioned the color of her child's skin.

Why does that matter?

Why does anyone care who questioned the color of Archie’s skin?

Why shouldn’t someone question the color of Archie’s skin?

What if they’d questioned whether he’d have red hair?

Would that have been a racist crime against white people, or what?

That large numbers of people appear to care what, for a reported payment of seven million dollars, Meghan and Harry are moaning about indicates the imbecility of the Western world.

It’s time to remember the old English saying that “Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”

It’s time to restore the right of free speech and tell Meghan and Harry and every other victim-status-seeking  politically-correct idiot to go piss up a rope.

And, yeah, what is the color of Archie's skin — and does he have red hair?

Why You Should Refuse the "Vaccine"

You should resist the RNA Covid vaccine because: 

First, there are well defined potential dangers to health consequent on such inoculation, dangers that have not been excluded through long-term safety testing. Hazards include:

Anaphylactic shock leading to possible death, and;

Antibody-dependent enhancement of susceptibility to virus infection and disease manifestation, with reference to which see: 
 
 

Second, vaccine efficacy is not well defined and may be minimal. Hence, the US Center for Disease Control advises those who have been fully vaccinated, meaning those having had two RNA vaccine shots, to:

keep taking precautions in public places like wearing a mask, staying 6 feet apart from others, and avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces until we know more.

So what, really, is the point? 

 Third, unless you are in hospital or a care home, your risk of death from Covid-19 is negligible. 

How so, did you ask?  

Because,

First, more than half of all severe Covid-19 cases are likely hospital-acquired, as this study in Scotland shows to have been the case in December 2020.

Second, in most if not all Western countries, between 40 and 70% of Covid-19 deaths are reported to have occurred in nursing homes.

So excluding hospital-acquired infections and care-home-acquired infections, how many serious infections were prevented by lockdown? Well actually, probably less than none since lockdown itself promoste infection spread within households.  

Fourth, vaccination is being pushed to enforce a requirement for what, in time, will likely become a universal internal passport that every citizen will be required to carry and which will define your social credit score as tech-empowered governments seek to reduce citizenship to helotry.

Covid, A Healthcare-Dependent Killer?

Up to Two Thirds of Serious Covid Infections are Caught in Hospital – Study

Can that be true?

Seems totally reasonable. 

Seems totally reasonable. Hospitals are mainly occupied by those at high risk of death from Covid, namely, elderly people who are also sick.

Hospitals are also the places where people on the outside are taken if they become seriously ill with Covid. So now you have virus carriers in close proximity with people most endangered by the virus.

Add to that the staff, which will include many 20- to 40-year-olds, i.e., the most socially active demographic that is mainly responsible for the spread of Covid outside of hospital.

Then, in hospital, you have many Covid-infected people, both patients and staff, which creates highly favorable conditions for the virus to infect and kill more of the highly vulnerable: i.e., elderly patients in hospital for treatment of conditions such as heart or respiratory diseases which greatly increase the risk of death from Covid.

Then, to get an even bigger bang for your buck, you move those hospital-infected Covid patients over the age of 65 to care homes, which creates a whole new opportunity for the disease to spread among the sick and very elderly, most of whom will go down like ninepins.

And the vaccine wont save them: as reported from British Columbia, even after vaccination of the majority of staff and patients, Covid outbreaks are occurring in care homes (and here). 

Covid, is thus essentially a health-care-facilitated killer.

Swiss Policy Research: Covid-19 — Just the Facts

Facts about Covid-19

Updated: March 2021


Fully referenced facts about covid-19, provided by experts in the field, to help you make a realistic risk assessment. 

Overview

  1. Lethality: According to the latest immunological studies, the overall infection fatality rate (IFR) of covid-19 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 1957 and 1968.
  2. 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 reduce hospitalizations and deaths by about 75%.
  3. Age profile: The median age of covid deaths is over 80 years in most Western countries (but 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.
  4. Nursing homes: In many Western countries, up to two thirds 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.
  5. Excess mortality: In most Western countries, the pandemic increased mortality by 5% to 15% in 2020. Up to 30% of the additional deaths were caused not by covid, but by indirect effects of the pandemic and lockdowns (e.g. fewer treatments of cancer and heart attack patients).
  6. Antibodies: By the end of 2020, antibody seroprevalence was between 10% and 30% of the population in most Western countries. At seroprevalence levels above 30%, a significant decrease in the infection rate was observed in many regions.

First Court Case Against Mandatory COVID Vaccination Filed In New Mexico

Canadian Health Minister: We’re Certainly Working on the Idea of Vaccine Passports with our G7 Partners

 During a live news conference about the outbreak, Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry emphasized being vaccinated doesn't mean transmission will be stopped and that precautions must remain in place for seniors and care homes. Dr. Henry said two staff members and 10 residents have tested positive at the Cottonwoods facility, which is a long-term care home with 221 publicly-funded beds. Henry said that all staff and residents at the home were offered immunizations and that there was very high uptake of the vaccine. She said some of the cases were among people who had received two doses of the vaccine.

"You can have transmission even when people are fully vaccinated," she said. "The illness seems to be milder and doesn't transmit as much [and we] won't see rapid explosive outbreaks."



"The illness seems to be milder and doesn't transmit as much"

LOL. 

On what basis does she make such a claim? 

Sheer imagination, presumably. 

But what else is she to say when compulsory vaccination with a novel so-called vaccine that fails to prevent infection, illness or disease transmission, and which has not undergone long-term safety testing, proves to, well, fail in preventing infection, illness, or disease transmission. 

Yeah, she's a trooper. 

And did we mention, the so-called "vaccine" has debilitating side effects.

How Lord Sumption, Former Justice of the UK Supreme Court, Gets It Right and Wrong on the UK's Response to Covid-19



In this interview with Freddie Sayers, Lord Sumption, former UK Supreme Court Justice, makes two major points.

First, that enforced lockdown unjustifiably undermines the conventions that have made Britain a free society. Therefore, he urges people to adhere to the tradition of freedom and defy lockdown laws.

Second, he argues that making the possession of a vaccine passport necessary to dining at a restaurant, travelling by bus, rail or air, or entering the supermarket is a reasonable requirement of the state.

On the first point, Sumption is correct, although his encouragement of civil disobedience is not the courageous suggestion one might think, since young people in large numbers have displayed a contempt for lockdowns from the outset.

On the second point Sumption is dead wrong. To make a vaccine passport a necessity for participation in normal social and business life amounts to making vaccination mandatory. That is, he is arguing for laws to make it compulsory to accept an experimental vaccine which has not been thoroughly tested for effectiveness, even, let alone potential harms.

That is an extraordinarily totalitarian position to take, especially when it is realized that the novel RNA so-called vaccines are known to have limited effectiveness, but potentially disastrous negative effects.

Concerning potential negative consequences, it should be noted that:

1. Inoculation with RNA “vaccines” induce production of antibodies to the Covid-19 spike protein, which is a short-lived response that will provide immunity to illness from Covid infection for perhaps as little as only three to six months — meaning that repeated RNA inoculation will be necessary to maintain effectiveness.

2. Unlike vaccines previously developed, RNA “vaccines” do not activate immune responses, e.g., a T-cell response, that prevent Covid infection. That is why Anthony Fauci has acknowledged that Covid RNA “vaccines”, while preventing disease manifestation, may not prevent disease transmission. That means that the RNA “vaccines” may make one an asymptomatic, but infectious, carrier of the virus.

3. Because the RNA “vaccines” have not undergone long-term testing, it is unknown what long-term adverse effects they may have. Potential adverse long term effects are, however, far from inconceivable: Antibody-Dependent-Enhancement (of viral infectivity and disease severity) anyone? Or maybe you'd care to risk a touch of prion disease, the thing you get from eating mad cows or the brains of kuru-afflicted humans.

These risks may be low, but a small risk of a world-wide health catastrophe amounts to a serious matter. So no, Lord Sumption, you can stuff your vaccine passport.

How The Fight Over American Freedom Will Probably Escalate

How the future of the world will unfold is always vastly uncertain. Yet there are times when a world-shaking change in the direction of affairs seems inevitable.

The jostling for power among the imperialist states of Europe in the years before World War 1, for example, left few in doubt that something had to give, though few imagined how radical or how bloody would be the transition to a new world order headed not by any of the great imperial powers of that era, Great Britain, Germany, France or Russia, but by a former colony, the upstart United States of America. 

Today, we appear to be on the brink of another global transition driven not only by the rise of other formerly oppressed countries, including the vastly populous nations of China and India, but by the astounding changes in ways of life both economic and social wrought by the last 100 years' advancement of science and technology.

Thus, we hear from many quarters imaginative accounts of the coming Great Reset, of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and even of the colonization of other worlds. Who knows how things will turn out, yet the short-term projection of events within the US entitled: How The Fight Over American Freedom Will Probably Escalate, to which we have linked below, provides what seems a plausible indication of the scope and potential violence of events to come even within the borders of existing states. 

By Brandon Smith

I have to say, I continue to see a divergence in what the elites clearly wanted to happen vs. what has actually happened. If the Event 201 pandemic war game on a coronavirus outbreak, held two months before the actual outbreak occurred in China, is any indication, then the globalists greatly overestimated the fear effect of Covid.

They predicted at least 65 million deaths from a coronavirus outbreak, but over a year has passed since the pandemic went international and the official death count stands at 2.5 million, with over 40% of deaths in the US attributed to nursing home patients that were ALREADY dying from preexisting conditions. Removing suspect nursing home deaths from the equation, the death count is probably closer to 1.5 million, again, if we adhere to official estimates.

To put this number in perspective, the CDC states that global deaths from the flu virus peak at around 649,000 depending on the year. Deaths from the flu and pneumonia reach as high as 1.4 million globally per year. Studies funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation find annual pneumonia death stats that are comparable to the CDC’s. Yet, we never saw Bill Gates calling for economic lockdowns, mask mandates and medical passports because of the flu or pneumonia. Why is that?

All Together, Now: Everyone Hate Putin, Hate Russia

By Mike Whitney

The Unz Review, March 2, 2021: Why is Vladimir Putin standing up to the richest and most powerful men in the world? Why is he bad-mouthing their “pet project” Globalization and trash-talking their “Great Reset”? Does he really think these corporate mandarins and “silver spoon” elites are going to listen to what he has to say or does he realize that they’re just going to hate him more than ever? Why is he doing this?

Here’s what’s going on: At the end of January, Putin was given the opportunity to address the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland (online). The WEF is a prestigious assembly of political leaders, corporatists and billionaire elites many of who are directly involved in the massive global restructuring project that is currently underway behind the smokescreen of the Covid-19 pandemic. Powerful members of the WEF decided that the Coronavirus presented the perfect opportunity to implement their dystopian strategy which includes a hasty transition to green energy, A.I., robotics, transhumanism, universal vaccination and a comprehensive surveillance matrix that detects the location and activities of every human being on the planet. The proponents of this universal police state breezily refer to it as “The Great Reset” which is the latest make-over of the more familiar, “New World Order”. There’s not a hairsbreadth difference between the Reset and one-world government which has preoccupied billionaire activists for more than a century. This is the group to which Putin made the following remarks:

“I would like to speak in more detail about the main challenges ..the international community is facing…. The first one is socioeconomic….. Starting from 1980, global per capita GDP has doubled in terms of real purchasing power parity. This is definitely a positive indicator. Globalisation and domestic growth have led to strong growth in developing countries and lifted over a billion people out of poverty….Still, the main question… is what was the nature of this global growth and who benefitted from it most…..

… developing countries benefitted a lot from the growing demand for their traditional and even new products. However, this integration into the global economy has resulted in more than just new jobs or greater export earnings. It also had its social costs, including a significant gap in individual incomes…. According to the World Bank, 3.6 million people subsisted on incomes of under $5.50 per day in the United States in 2000, but in 2016 this number grew to 5.6 million people....

Meanwhile, globalisation led to a significant increase in the revenue of large multinational, primarily US and European, companies…In terms of corporate profits, who got hold of the revenue? The answer is clear: one percent of the population.

And what has happened in the lives of other people? In the past 30 years, in a number of developed countries, the real incomes of over half of the citizens have been stagnating, not growing. Meanwhile, the cost of education and healthcare services has gone up. Do you know by how much? Three times…

In other words, millions of people even in wealthy countries have stopped hoping for an increase of their incomes. In the meantime, they are faced with the problem of how to keep themselves and their parents healthy and how to provide their children with a decent education….

These imbalances in global socioeconomic development are a direct result of the policy pursued in the 1980s, which was often vulgar or dogmatic. This policy rested on the so-called Washington Consensus with its unwritten rules, when the priority was given to the economic growth based on a private debt in conditions of deregulation and low taxes on the wealthy and the corporations….

As I have already mentioned, the coronavirus pandemic has only exacerbated these problems. In the last year, the global economy sustained its biggest decline since WWII. By July, the labour market had lost almost 500 million jobs…. In the first nine months of the past year alone, the losses of earnings amounted to $3.5 trillion. This figure is going up and, hence, social tension is on the rise.” (“Session of Davos Agenda 2021Online Forum, Putin Addresses World Economic Forum, Jan 27, 2021)

Why is Putin telling his elitist audience these things?

Prof Michel Chossudovsky: The Covid Pandemic — A Diabolical Plan to Destroy Lives, Destabilize the Global Economy, and Transfer Wealth to the Already Obscenely Rich

Is the Vaccine More Deadly Than the Virus?

Arutz Sheva, February 18, 2021: Vaccination in Israel: Challenging mortality figures?

A front-page article appeared in the FranceSoir newspaper about findings on the Nakim website regarding what some experts are calling "the high mortality caused by the vaccine."

The paper interviews Aix-Marseille University Faculty of Medicine Emerging Infectious and Tropical Diseases Unit's Dr. Hervé Seligmann and engineer Haim Yativ about their research and data analysis. They claim that Pfizer's shot causes "mortality hundreds of times greater in young people compared to mortality from coronavirus without the vaccine, and dozens of times more in the elderly, when the documented mortality from coronavirus is in the vicinity of the vaccine dose, thus adding greater mortality from heart attack, stroke, etc."

Dr Hervé Seligmann works at the Emerging Infectious and Tropical Diseases Research Unit, Faculty of Medicine, Aix-Marseille University, Marseille, France. He is of Israeli-Luxembourg nationality. He has a B. Sc. In Biology from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and has written over 100 scientific publications.

FranceSoir writes that they follow publications, data analyzes, and feedback from various countries on vaccination, and have therefore taken an interest in the Nakim article, asking to interview them in order to understand their analysis and its limitations.















The authors of the article declare they have no conflicts or interests other than having children in Israel.

After a presentation, the authors discussed their data analysis, the validations carried out, limitations, and above all, their conclusions that they compare with data received via a Health Ministry Freedom of Information Act request.

Their findings are:

  • There is a mismatch between the data published by the authorities and the reality on the ground.
  • They have three sources of information, besides the emails and adverse event reports they receive through the Internet. These three sources are Israeli news site Ynet, the Israeli Health Ministry database, and the U.S. federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database.
  • In January 2021, there were 3,000 records of vaccine adverse events, including 2,900 for mRNA vaccines.
  • Compared to other years, mortality is 40 times higher.
  • On February 11, a Ynet article presented data related to vaccination. The authors of the Nakim article claim to have debunked this analysis based on data published by Ynet itself: “We took the data by looking at mortality during the vaccination period, which spans 5 weeks. By analyzing these data, we arrived at startling figures that attribute significant mortality to the vaccine."
  • The authors say “vaccinations have caused more deaths than the coronavirus would have caused during the same period."
  • Haim Yativ and Dr. Seligmann declare that for them, "this is a new Holocaust," in face of Israeli authority pressure to vaccinate citizens.

They also invite specialists to complete their analyses, and intend to pursue legal follow-up to their discovery. The Health Ministry was not available for comment on a FranceSoir query regarding the findings.

The authors also deplored "the fact of not being able to communicate on this vital information" to their fellow citizens.

On their site, Nakim writes: "On February 11, 2021, Ynet (the most known Israeli News website) published a confused and confusing article entitled 'Vaccination efficiency data in Israel, and its rapid effects on the young'.

"Our reanalyses of these data explain why during the massive vaccination project initiated mid-December 2020 during a confinement, daily new confirmed COVID-19 cases failed to decrease as they do during confinements, and, more importantly, why numbers of serious, critical, and death cases increased during that period that covered at least one month. From mid-December to mid-February (two months), 2,337 among all Israeli 5,351 official COVID-deaths occurred. Our analyses indicate orders of magnitude increases in deaths rates during the 5-week long vaccination process, as compared to the unvaccinated and those after completing the vaccination process. Presumably, asymptomatic cases before vaccination, and those infected shortly after the 1st dose, tend to develop graver symptoms than those unvaccinated.

"The Ynet article is organized in an exciting way and uses data provided in an erroneous way by the Ministry of Health. It is unclear whether this was intentional to prove the vaccine's efficiency or if this was done erroneously because the provided data were misunderstood. Note that in Israel, all vaccines are from Pfizer.

"The data in the table, rather than indicating the vaccine efficacy, indicate the vaccine's adverse effects," the authors conclude.

Is This the Beginning of the End of the Covid Disaster or Is It Only the End of the Beginning

DAILY MAIL: The city where new Brazilian strain defeated herd immunity: Manaus is gripped by surging cases and record deaths despite 75% of the population getting infected during first wave

This is seriously bad news. The report from Manaus of a surging rate of Covid reinfection means, first, that the virus is mutating so rapid that immunity, whether acquired through infection or vaccination, is extremely short-lived; and second, that any T-cell response* to infection is failing to provide immunity to reinfection by some new strains of the virus.

It is also the case that the wave of reinfections in Brazil, could be evidence of antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), meaning that antibodies produced in response to vaccination may facilitate infection by, and enhance the virulence of, novel strains of the virus.

If a pessimistic interpretation of the report from Brazil is correct, the Covid disaster is only now beginning to take shape. What we could then expect is:

Not an end to quarantine for international travelers, but an end to international travel.

Not an end to pub and restaurant closures, but an end to pubs and restaurants.

Not an end to work from home, but an end to most work.

Not an end to home schooling, but an end to schools.
___
* Immunity to viral disease normally depends on both a long-term T-cell response that resists reinfection, and a short-lived antibody response that combats the disease following infection.

The Covid-19 mRNA vaccines induce an antibody response but no T-cell response. Hence, while they prevent manifestation of disease they do not prevent infection or, therefore, the spread of infection.

Thus, it was to be hoped that because it entailed a T-cell response, resistance induced by infection, unlike that induced by vaccination, would be long-lived. The report from Brazil of widespread reinfection among those previously infected means that this hope was ill-founded.

A Covid Miscellany

There is so much to say about the government-inflicted Covid catastrophe in all it's dimensions — the totally needless disruption of education for a generation of young people; the destruction of hundreds of thousands of small businesses; the debasement of the currency through inflationary finance (the consequences of which have yet to be realized); a harvest of suicides, divorces, family violence and other tragedies — that any comment one might make seems inadequate, futile, a mere straw in the wind. But if useful comment is possible, perhaps it is the humorists and comic actors who are best qualified to add substance to the debate. In that hope, I present the irrepressible Katie Hopkins:

America: A Nation Living With Lies

 Yusef, commenting on an earlier post, pointed out that if reported US Covid-19 deaths relative to population were similar to the numbers reported for the rest of the world: 

"we would have 4% of the covid-related deaths. Instead we have 20%, or 5X what we "should" have"

But I see no reason to believe the US stats. 

The US has clearly superseded the Soviet Union as the world's biggest liar. 

The US doesn't merely lie about important things such as the reasons for "bombing the shit out of" this or that country (to use President Trump's idiom), but about almost everything. 

Like the dying Soviet Union, the US teaches lies in its schools and universities.

Indeed, lies are the only essential part of the US educational curriculum, hence America's continuing decline in the ratio of educational attainment per dollar expended, which must be about the lowest in the world. 

Americans, like the citizens of Russia in the days of the Soviet Union are living with lies. 

Lies about almost everything. From Black lives matter, meaning all white people are racists who deny that black lives matter, to a seemingly endless list of mind-numbing bullshit from micro-aggressions to triggering, pussy hats, cultural appropriation, and the demand for less whiteness, aka European cultural and racial genocide. 

Which means that Americans get more lies and sheer nonsense for their educational dollar than anyone else. As the inevitable result, Americans have the lowest rate of academic achievement per dollar invested than any other country in the world, although the Brits are right up there along with the people of Canada where, to quote a national newspaper headline, Universities have become cesspools of political correctness.

What to do?

Well obviously when you are in the throws of a Communist takeover your chances of doing anything to counter the menace other than hurt yourself are slight. But here's how to make a start in transforming "education" from a process of Communist indoctrination to a process of productive learning.

Enact legislation that:

Embodies in education the old English principle that "Sticks and stone may break my bones but words can never hurt me;"
Makes academic achievement the driving principle of education at all levels;

 Pays teachers according to student achievement, and pays the best teachers more than the top educational bureaucrats. 

 But nothing of the kind, obviously, will be done. 

We are all doomed.  Doomed to live under the increasingly tyrannical rule of fools and scoundrels.

Why Almost Everything You Know About Covid-19 Is a Lie

By Paul Craig Roberts

There is no scientific basis for the measures in place to deal with the alleged Covid Pandemic.  Among experts, support for these measures is largely limited to those with financial links with pharmaceutical corporations. Public health bureaucrats, such as Fauci at NIH, are also linked with pharmaceutical corporations.  Medical practitioners take their guidance from approved authority, which means NIH, CDC, WHO, all compromised with conflicts of interest.  Conforming with these compromised institutions provides liability protection that relying on independent  expert advice does not.

One thousand five hundred experts from around the world have come together to challenge the Covid measures as “a global scientific fraud of unprecedented proportions.”  Here is their statement.  

Is it safe to assume that compromised public health bureaucracies with links to pharmaceutical corporations know more and are more trustworthy than independent experts?

What is the real agenda behind the Covid Deception?  Clearly it is not public health.

How was media orchestrated to deplatform and censor experts who challenge the obviously unsuccessful Covid measures?  It should make you instantly suspicious when scientifically ignorant and totally compromised presstitutes dismiss dissenting independent experts as “conspiracy theorists.”

Why is no public discussion of the situation possible?  If the Covid measures could stand examination, there would be no censorship.

Clearly, an undeclared agenda is being shoved down our throats.  

In this article Dr. Pascal Sacre explains why the PCR test results in a huge exaggeration in the number of Covid infections and thus serves the assertion of a pandemic and the creation of fear that causes people to accept tyrannical measures.   

That independent scientific experts have been forced out of public discussion should tell you how utterly corrupt are the governments of the world.
