Tucker Carlson: Why Isn't There a Criminal Investigation of Toni Fauci's Role in the Creation of the Covid Pandemic?


Related: 

....As scientists with relevant expertise, we agree with the WHO director-general (5), the United States and 13 other countries (6), and the European Union (7) that greater clarity about the origins of this pandemic is necessary and feasible to achieve. We must take hypotheses about both natural and laboratory spillovers seriously until we have sufficient data. A proper investigation should be transparent, objective, data-driven, inclusive of broad expertise, subject to independent oversight, and responsibly managed to minimize the impact of conflicts of interest. Public health agencies and research laboratories alike need to open their records to the public. Investigators should document the veracity and provenance of data from which analyses are conducted and conclusions drawn, so that analyses are reproducible by independent experts. ....

The Covid "Vaccine": The Harm It Can Do, and Why Most People Don't Need It

First, let's be clear what this "vaccine" is. 

The "vaccines" currently being dispensed do not induce full-spectrum, lifelong immunity. They merely induce the production of antibodies to the SARS2 (aka Covid19) spike protein. This they do by inducing the cells of the vaccinated person to produce the SARS2 spike protein. The foreign protein thus produced, activates the immune system to produce SARS2-specific neutralizing antibodies—neutralizing, in this context, meaning protecting from infection, as opposed to merely resisting the consequences of infection. 

The down side is that the antibodies thus produced soon fade away. Thus the immunity of the "vaccinated" individual is transient, lasting no more than a year. What the vaccine does not do is induce robust and durable (probably, life-long) T-Cell immunity. 

So who needs the untested Covid19, aka SARS2, "vaccine".

No one who has already had the virus, certainly. Such people will already have undergone a full-spectrum immune response including the production of short-lived neutralizing antibodies and long-lived SARS2-recognizing T-Cells. 

And how many people is that? 

In October last year, the WHO estimated that it was one in ten of the World's population, or 767 million people.  So the number today must be well in excess of a billion, maybe two billion, or one person in four. 

And among the uninfected, there is absolutely no justification for "vaccinating" children. SARS2 is less dangerous to children than the seasonal flu and probably much less dangerous than the experimental "vaccines" themselves. 

54 children in the Land of the Free have died from COVID (according to CDC data through April 28).

Given that there have been roughly 4 million confirmed COVID cases among children, this implies a survival rate of 99.999%.

For kids, even the Chicken Pox is more fatal, not to mention a variety of other common illnesses ranging from the flu to strep throat.

Yet the world never closed schools due to the chicken pox.

Curiously, his grace, Lord Protector Anthony Fauci, noted back in 2009 during the Swine Flu epidemic that “we have already 76 children dying from the 2009 H1N1 virus, and it’s only the beginning of October.”

Yet his eminence did not demand schools close. And the CDC specifically recommended NOT closing schools.

(Fauci also stated then, “you can’t isolate yourself from the rest of the world for the whole flu season. . .”)

Then there’s the Holy See of the World Health Organization, of whom no one is worthy to question. Yet the WHO says that “diarrhea kills around 525,000 children under five” every year.

Yet did anyone ever close the schools to prevent the spread of the diarrhea-causing rotavirus?

Source

If infected, children are rarely symptomatic and, like asymptomatic adults, they do not spread the disease. However, as a result of infection, children get full spectrum SARS2 immunity, including long-lasting T-Cell immunity from infection. 

"Vaccinating" children is thus a very bad idea. Indeed, vaccinating children seems like a criminal enterprise. It denies the child the chance of gaining the most robust and durable possible immunity from future SARS2 infection, instead condemning them to annual if not twice yearly "vaccine" jabs plus the risk of an adverse "vaccine" reaction, including possible death.  

"Vaccination", which is promoted as a means to achieving "herd immunity," is in fact a means of preventing attainment of herd immunity, which condemning billions of people to needless and costly annual or more frequent "vaccinations," which in themselves constitutes a significant risk to health.  

Among adults under the age of 65, SARS2 is rarely fatal. Furthermore, those most at risk are in the great majority of cases clearly identifiable. They include the overweight and the obese. Thus of Americans admitted to hospital with SARS2, 78% were overweight or obese

Other risk factors include diabetes, which is often associated with obesity, and diseases of the heart and lungs, including bronchitis, emphysema and asthma. For most adults, therefore, the case for "vaccination" is weak or non-existent. Infection, often asymptomatic, entails little risk and provides the benefit of long-term future immunity. 

Moreover, according to a British Medical Journal article by associate editor Peter Doshi, it is likely that around one third of adults have pre-existing immunity to SARS2 as the result of previous infection with a corona virus, such as strains causing the common cold.

For the over 65's, the main factor elevating the risk of death from SARS2 is age, or more specifically, a decline in heart and lung capacity. As physical activity declines, heart and lung capacity declines also. As a consequence, the additional strain on heart and lungs due to any infection, including SARS2, that clogs the lungs and airways with mucus is likely to overwhelm the system and result in death. That being the case, one of two things may save an elderly person in the event of exposure to SARS2: one is preexistent T-Cell immunity, which may approach 50% of the population among the old; the other is the experimental "vaccine."

Adverse Reactions to mRNA Covid Vaccines

 The mRNA "vaccines" against Covid19 deliver the genetic information that the virus uses to produce the so-called spike protein. This information is encoded in the sequence of ribonucleic acid bases that make up the mRNA molecule. 

The spike protein caps the spikes on the Covid19 virus particle and adheres quite specifically to certain of the cells (ACE2 receptors) of the epithelium that lines the lung. 

Once attached to an ACE2 receptor, the virus injects its genetic material into the cell. Thereupon, all components of the virus, not just the spike protein, are manufactured by the machinery of the host cell and self-assemble to create a mass of new virus particles. 

The information delivered to the cell (any cell in the body) in the form of an mRNA Covid19 "vaccine" is processed by the cell's protein synthetic machinery to produce spike protein. The spike protein is then  recognized by the immune system which, in response, produces antibodies that inactivate the spike protein of invading Covid19 virus particles, thereby resisting infection. 

Very clever. 

Except, among other things, it turns out that the spike protein is responsible, wholly or in part, for the symptoms of Covid19 disease, as just reported in the journal Circulation Research. What that means is that the mRNA vaccines may mitigate against Covid19 infection, or in the event of infection, Covid19 disease. However, it may itself cause lung injury and illness in the complete absence of the virus.

The Breakdown of Higher Education: How It happened, the Damage It Does, and What Can Be Done

By John Ellis

Wall St. Journal, May 2, 2021: An advanced society functions by creating a series of institutions, telling them what it wants them to do, and funding them to do it. Institutions like the police, fire departments, courts and schools do the jobs society creates them to do. But one American institution—higher education—has decided to repurpose itself. It has set aside the job given to it by society and substituted a different one.

Higher education had a cluster of related purposes in society. Everyone benefited from the new knowledge it developed and the well-informed, thoughtful citizenry it produced. Individual students benefited from the preparation they received for careers in a developed economy. Yet these days, academia has decided that its primary purpose is the promotion of a radical political ideology, to which it gives the sunny label “social justice.”

That’s an enormous detour from the institutional mission granted to higher education by society—and a problem of grave consequence. For the purpose that academia has now given itself happens to be the only one that the founding documents of virtually all colleges and universities take care to forbid pre-emptively. The framers of those documents understood that using the campuses to promote political ideologies would destroy their institutions, because ideologies would always be rigid enough to prevent the exploration of new ideas and the free exercise of thought. They knew that the two purposes—academic and political—aren’t simply different, but polar opposites. They can’t coexist because the one erases the other.

How to Travel Faster Than Light

 If you follow science news on the Internet at all closely, you will have seen recent discussion of the possibility of faster-than-light travel dependent on some actual implementation of Star Trek's warp drive (here, for example).  

The conclusion of such speculation seems to be that without expending the entire mass energy of the universe, faster-than-light travel is impossible. This, however, is a complete misunderstanding. To travel faster than light, for example on a mission to the planetary system of our nearest neighboring star, Alpha Centauri, all you need do is set off at an acceleration of 1 g, or 9.8 meters per second per second -- which is the acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface, and just keep going.

After one year at an acceleration of 1 g you will find yourself about one half light year from earth and your current velocity will be 1 C, or 299 792 458 meters per second. After another year, you will be travelling at 2 C. 

If you are planning to stop and turn for home when you reach Alpha Centauri, which is at a distance of 4.367 light years from Earth, this is the time you'd better be thinking of turning your rocket ship around and using your 1 g thrust motor to slow you down to a standstill relative to the Earth by the time you reach Alpha Centauri. 

Altogether, the trip will have taken you around four years—four years, that is, by the clock on board your space ship, or as measured by the biological processes of aging you have experience during the trip. 

To the folks back home, however, the trip will have taken a vastly greater amount of time. Indeed, by the time you get back home, your children if any, and grandchildren, will have long since died, and indeed human civilization itself may have passed away. Thus, if you are space travel enthusiast, you should be careful about what you wish for.

India's Catastrophic (OR NOT?) Covid Death Toll

India is reported to be experiencing a gigantic Covid second wave. Yesterday alone, the virus is said to have killed two thousand eight hundred and twelve Indians. In response to the catastrophe, the international community is organizing relief efforts. As the Spectator reports: 

The UK and the US are leading the delivery of aid to India, as the country battles a fierce second wave. The UK has sent 600 medical devices, including ventilators and oxygen.

But while every death is a tragedy, it should be remembered that, of India's 1.37 billion inhabitants, more than 27,000 usually die each day. So, at the height of the Indian epidemic, Covid is responsible for about 10% of all deaths, or about 2.06 per million of population per day. 

How does that compare with a first world country where the covid epidemic is past its peak and mass vaccination is said to be well on the way to creating herd immunity? 

Well consider Canada: with a current, seven-day, mean daily death toll of 49, Covid is killing 1.33 people per million of population per day, or about two-thirds of India's current rate. 

So, yes, in India, Covid is bringing forward some deaths, mainly among the old and frail. However, the impact of Covid in India, where yearly healthcare expenditures average around US$22 per person, is scarcely more catastrophic at its current peak than in post-peak-Covid Canada, a wealthy Western nation with yearly healthcare expenditures of around six thousand US dollars per person.


Postscript:

After posting the above I tuned into the BBC's World Service from London to hear a most extraordinary report from New Delhi, India, in which a journalist reported smoking funeral pyres to be seen in every direction, of rows of dead bodies awaiting cremation, and in general scenes reminiscent of Hell. 

How to explain the discrepancy between the numbers and the radio report?

Well apparently the national numbers that I cited above are correct, according to the BBC (see figure below), but as the red line below indicates, the number of cases in the capital city of New Delhi is reported currently to be about four times the national average, and a rate that probably matches New York City during the worst days, in early 2020.

"Biden is an idiot": Deconstructing a Great American Dirt-bag and Fake President

 Zero Hedge, April 25, 2021: Former Arizona police officer-turned conservative political commentator Brandon Tatum unloaded on President Biden and the press for politicizing the Derek Chauvin trial, and insists that so-called 'systemic racism' is simply manufactured by politicians and the media to earn votes and make money.



"I think we're living in the twilight zone," Tatum said of the Chauvin trial. "This conviction, in my personal opinion, did nothing for our country. People are living a lie. I mean this is one police officer, one person in the community, they found him guilty, this was the swiftest justice I've ever seen in my life. The day after the film came out he was arrested. He was tried. 10 hours of deliberation, he was convicted. I'm not really sure why people are acting like this is monumental.

"Also, he did not get a fair trial in my personal opinion. There was a lot of obstruction that happened. They paid the family out $27 million before the jury could be selected. I mean, they're going to have a case in appeal. I don't know why people are celebrating and I don't know why this is such a big focal point other than - people are making money off of the pain of people in our country."

The BBC host then asked Tatum if he was upset over this "landmark" case?

"This is not a landmark case, this is a political agenda," Tatum shot back.

Is This the End of the Road?

Apparently, I am unable to comment on my own blog.

When attempting to respond to a comment on the previous post I get a blank face icon. 

But it seems I can still create a new post -- or can I? 

Let's see. 

If I can, here's a response to a comment concerning immigration from "Unknown" on the previous post:

As for population, the policy of Canada and other Western nations is evidently to drive the fertility of the native population well below replacement by the promotion of abortion, pornography, and easy divorce, while indoctrinating the young with the belief that the only sexual vice is reproduction. 

The reproductive deficit is then being more than made up for by mass immigration from high fertility nations, particularly of the Indian subcontinent and sub-Saharan Africa, which further suppresses native fertility through intensified competition for educational opportunities, jobs, and housing.

This can only be explained as a deliberate policy of national genocide, opposition to which is viciously punished as racism.

As for Covid, God only knows what that's about and even God may not know. But what we do know is that the response has been grotesquely inappropriate to the magnitude of the threat that Covid represents. 

In particular, we now know that 78% of Covid hospitalizations in the US have been of people either overweight or obese. As the vast majority of Covid deaths have been of the very old and frail, we can assume that virtually all of the remaining 22% of US Covid hospitalizations were among the very old and frail.  

Therefore, it is clear that the only appropriate governmental response to Covid would have been to advise the overweight and the old to take care until the epidemic has passed and, in particular, avoid contact with the young and socially active who are the main vectors of the disease. If necessary, government could have given financial or other assistance to those deeming it necessary to self-isolate for their own protection.

As for the insanely over-the-top Covid response of most Western governments, the only morally justifiable reason we can think of is that it has been a trial of the response to an outbreak of biological warfare. But we invite other suggestions. 

But better late than never. Here's a Covid Policy proposal for immediate government adoption:

Canada's Dopey Carbon Tax

Canada's Liberal Government has imposed a sharply rising tax on atmospheric carbon emissions.

Canada's Conservative Party wants the same thing by another name. 

Both schemes are idiotic. 

Here's why:

(a) With less than half of one percent of the World's population, Canada acting alone, has no significant global impact.

(b) By imposing a carbon tax unilaterally, Canada shoots itself in the foot by putting Canadian industry at a disadvantage in the competition with producers in countries without a carbon tax, e.g., the United States, Canada's largest trade partner, and China, the World's largest industrial economy.

What to do?

Canada should seek agreement with its Free Trade Area (CUSMA) partners for a unified carbon tax with a countervailing duty on imports from countries without a carbon tax.

That way Canada avoids screwing itself, while creating an incentive (avoidance of the countervailing carbon emissions import tax) for all major industrial nations without a carbon tax to impose one.

You Have to Read This Letter

  New York father pulls his daughter out of Brearley with a message to the whole school. Is the dam starting to break?

I was planning to publish a roundup today of the many thoughtful responses to Paul Rossi’s essay. I’m going to save that post for Sunday, because I was just sent this letter that has my jaw on the floor. It was written by a Brearley parent named Andrew Gutmann.

If you don’t know about Brearley, it’s a private all-girls school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. It costs $54,000 a year and prospective families apparently have to take an “anti-racism pledge” to be considered for admission. (In the course of my reporting for this piece I spoke to a few Brearley parents.)

Gutmann chose to pull his daughter, who has been in the school since kindergarten, and sent this missive to all 600 or so families in the school earlier this week. Among the lines:

If Brearley’s administration was truly concerned about so-called “equity,” it would be discussing the cessation of admissions preferences for legacies, siblings, and those families with especially deep pockets. If the administration was genuinely serious about “diversity,” it would not insist on the indoctrination of its students, and their families, to a single mindset, most reminiscent of the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

I’m pasting the whole thing below.

Peer Reviewed Study: Facemasks Have Adverse Physiological, Psychological and Health Effects

 Many countries across the globe utilized medical and non-medical facemasks as non-pharmaceutical intervention for reducing the transmission and infectivity of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Although, scientific evidence supporting facemasks’ efficacy is lacking, adverse physiological, psychological and health effects are established. Is has been hypothesized that facemasks have compromised safety and efficacy profile and should be avoided from use. The current article comprehensively summarizes scientific evidences with respect to wearing facemasks in the COVID-19 era, providing prosper information for public health and decisions making.

Forget the vaccine, get a hard hat. 

Why You'll Always Have to Wear a Mask

 Excerpts from an article by Michael Snyder

This week, [the CEO of Pfizer admitted that] “fully vaccinated” people will need a third shot of the vaccine within 12 months

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said people will “likely” need a third dose of a Covid-19 vaccine within 12 months of getting fully vaccinated. His comments were made public Thursday but were taped April 1.

Bourla said it’s possible people will need to get vaccinated against the coronavirus annually.

According to the CDC, so far there have been almost 6,000 documented cases of people being infected after getting two shots, and dozens of them have died

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has reported that roughly 5,800 people who received a coronavirus vaccine still ultimately came down with the disease anyway, according to CNN.

Of those 5,800, 396 of them (roughly 7 percent) were hospitalized; 74 of the vaccinated people ultimately died. The report proves that the vaccines, though frequently touted by the government and the media, are not guaranteed to prevent everyone from contracting the virus.

The reason why a new flu vaccine comes out every year is because the flu is constantly changing and mutating.The same thing is happening to COVID, and there are already dozens of mutant variations spreading around the globe [which may not be controlled by existing vaccines]. Here is
just one example

Two doses of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine were found to have only a 10.4% efficacy against mild-to-moderate infections caused by the B.1.351 South Africa variant, according to a phase 1b-2 clinical trial published on Tuesday in the New England Journal of Medicine. This is a cause for grave concern as the South African variants share similar mutations to the other variants leaving those vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine potentially exposed to multiple variants.
A few days ago, the FDA issued an unprecedented order regarding the Johnson and Johnson vaccine because it was causing blood clots in a number of cases…

This week, the Food and Drug Administration called for a halt in the administration of the single dose vaccine for COVID-19 manufactured by Johnson and Johnson. The halt was ascribed to the rare incidence of blood clots that could potentially be related to the vaccine.

I am glad that the FDA decided to step in, but the order came too late for this guy

When the news broke about the pause of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine Tuesday, one Coast family was already living with a tragedy they believe was caused by the vaccine.

It started out as a normal day for 43-year-old Brad Malagarie of St. Martin. This busy father of seven spent the morning at his D’Iberville office before heading to get a Johnson & Johnson vaccine a little after noon.

He returned to work, and within three hours coworkers noticed he was unresponsive at his desk. .

Meantime 

In Britain, where nearly everyone's been vaccinated, Government Advisers, aka, the notorious SAGE, are calling for more lockdowns

The London Independent reports:

…a top scientist advising the government has said local restrictions may need to be reintroduced if surge testing fails to halt the spread of the South African Covid variant.

Professor John Edmunds, an epidemiologist at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, told ITV’s Peston show that if mass testing events, such as those currently underway in Southwark and Barnet in London, “don’t work that well … then it’s possible we’ll have to impose some sort of local restrictions back in place ...”.

And, from UK PM Boris Johnson:

"The reduction in numbers... has not been achieved by the vaccination programme... the bulk of the work in reducing the disease has been done by the lockdown"

and despite the mass vaccination campaign, thus far the world's most intensive, Johnson said:

there will be more deaths as [lockdown] rules ease.
The Bad News
More than 10,000 people died shortly after COVID-19 vaccination in December, US and European authorities saidDeaths include more than 7,100 in Europe, according to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and 3,005 reported by the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), LifeSiteNews reports. And that was just in one month.

Tucker Carlson: Is Fauci Saying the Vaccine Doesn't Protect from Covid?

Was the Covid Second Wave a Consequence of Lockdowns, Social Distancing and Face Masks?

 Last fall, immunologist and biotech entrepreneur Dr. Michael Yeadon argued that a Covid second wave was impossible, saying "that's not how epidemics work." The pathogen, he stated, spreads until it runs out of susceptible hosts. All those who survive infection acquire robust and durable immunity, and the population thus achieves what is known as herd immunity, which makes a second wave impossible. 

However, as it emerges, the data for many countries appear to contradict Dr. Yeadon. Thus, for example, in Britain, the second wave of Covid deaths appears, if anything, slightly greater than the first. 

There are many questions that may be raised as to the validity of the data. How many, for example, of those who died with Covid died because of Covid? And how were the reported number of Covid cases affected by the availability of tests and the reliability of tests?


Nevertheless, the available evidence raises the question: is Dr. Yeadon's understanding of epidemiology wrong, or has something weird happened that caused the Covid epidemic to follow an abnormal course? 

The latter explanation seems highly probable. 

As the first wave of Covid infections developed, many countries imposed strict limitations on human existence, confining people to their homes, and enforcing mask mandates and social distancing when people were allowed out. 

The inevitable consequence of these measures was that there remained a substantial proportion of the population unexposed to Covid, which is to say that the number of those susceptible to Covid remained much higher than would have been the case had the first wave been allowed to run its course without impediment. Inevitably, therefore, when restrictions on human interaction were relieved a second wave of infections occurred during the following winter flu season. 

In Britain the second wave was curbed, as was the first, by lockdowns, travel restrictions, working from home, etc. Now a mass Covid vaccination campaign is underway that will presumably prevent a third wave -- for now. 

Almost certainly, however, we have not seen the last of Covid, as the immunity induced by the novel mRNA "vaccines" is reported to be short-lived. So look forward to repeated outbreaks and vaccination drives. 

As to future Covid deaths, the numbers will depend largely on how those who are already near death are cared for. Already Covid has lowered life expectancy by a year and more in most countries, but the trend in declining life expectancy will continue as long as elderly hospital patients and care home residents remain at high risk of infection. 

Happily, for those under sixty, the risk of death by Covid will remain minimal with our without vaccination.

Dr. Mike YeadonArshad Ebrahim / YouTube

By Patrick Delaney

April 7, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Dr. Michael Yeadon, Pfizer's former Vice President and Chief Scientist for Allergy & Respiratory who spent 32 years in the industry leading new medicines research and retired from the pharmaceutical giant with “the most senior research position” in his field, spoke with LifeSiteNews.

He addressed the “demonstrably false” propaganda from governments in response to COVID-19, including the “lie” of dangerous variants, the totalitarian potential for “vaccine passports,” and the strong possibility we are dealing with a “conspiracy” which could lead to something far beyond the carnage experienced in the wars and massacres of the 20th century.

His main points included:

There is “no possibility” current variants of COVID-19 will escape immunity. It is “just a lie.”

Yet, governments around the world are repeating this lie, indicating that we are witnessing not just “convergent opportunism,” but a “conspiracy.” Meanwhile media outlets and Big Tech platforms are committed to the same propaganda and the censorship of the truth.

Pharmaceutical companies have already begun to develop unneeded “top-up” (“booster”) vaccines for the “variants.” The companies are planning to manufacture billions of vials, in addition to the current experimental COVID-19 “vaccine” campaign.

Regulatory agencies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency, have announced that since these “top-up” vaccines will be so similar to the prior injections which were approved for emergency use authorization, drug companies will not be required to “perform any clinical safety studies.”

Thus, this virtually means that design and implementation of repeated and coerced mRNA vaccines “go from the computer screen of a pharmaceutical company into the arms of hundreds of millions of people, [injecting] some superfluous genetic sequence for which there is absolutely no need or justification.”


Why are they doing this? Since no benign reason is apparent, the use of vaccine passports along with a “banking reset” could issue in a totalitarianism unlike the world has ever seen. Recalling the evil of Stalin, Mao, and Hitler, “mass depopulation” remains a logical outcome.

The fact that this at least could be true means everyone must “fight like crazy to make sure that system never forms.”

Dr. Yeadon began identifying himself as merely a “boring guy” who went “to work for a big drug company … listening to the main national broadcast and reading the broad sheet newspapers.”

Continuing, he said: “But in the last year I have realized that my government and its advisers are lying in the faces of the British people about everything to do with this coronavirus. Absolutely everything. It’s a fallacy this idea of asymptomatic transmission and that you don’t have symptoms, but you are a source of a virus. That lockdowns work, that masks have a protective value obviously for you or someone else, and that variants are scary things and we even need to close international borders in case some of these nasty foreign variants get in.

Claiming Covid Herd Immunity Through Vaccination Is Nonsense

By P. Jerome

Off Guardian March 30, 2021: The efforts to require every American to be injected with an experimental vaccine for Covid-19 are based on the false notion that vaccination will protect recipients from becoming infected with SARS-Cov-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, or protect them from passing along the infection to other people.

The FDA, the CDC, the NIH and the pharmaceutical companies involved have all stated very clearly that there is no evidence to support this idea.

None of the three experimental Covid-19 vaccines now being distributed in the United States have been demonstrated to protect against infection with or transmission of the virus believed to cause Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2), or even prevent symptoms of Covid-19 disease from developing.

This fact is indisputable, yet media, medical providers, and politicians continue to repeat the lie that vaccination provides “immunity to Covid” and even sources like the Mayo Clinic make irresponsible and unsubstantiated claims that vaccination “might prevent you from getting” or “spreading” Covid-19. The same lies are the basis for President Biden’s hard press for mass vaccination to “make this Independence Day truly special.”

Canada's Covid Epidemic, Or Is It a Scamdemic?

 "Variants Projected to Climb in May, Tighter Measures Urged," reads the Page 4 headline in today's (Victoria) TimesColonist

And, as the article so headlined reports, British Columbia now has 102 Covid patients in intensive care. 

Wow, that sure is scary. 

Um, well maybe not, though sure it's tough on the unfortunate 102. 

One hundred and two ICU patients equals zero point six naughts two percent of British Columbia's population of five million. 

So how unusual is it to have that many ICU patients with a respiratory disease? 

Perhaps not very. Respiratory disease, mainly flu or pneumonia, is a major cause of death, and those deaths usually come in a bunch at the peak of the flu season. So to have half of British Columbia's ICU beds occupied by Covid patients at what is supposed to be a new peak in Covid infections, is neither surprising, nor especially alarming. 

What is, if not alarming, certainly remarkable is the change in the ratio of reported Covid cases to deaths over the course of the epidemic. 

On May 6, 2020, which was the peak of the epidemic in British Columbia, as measured by deaths, 1450 new Covid cases were reported together with 189 Covid deaths. 

Now, as we are reported to be battling a massive covid second wave, something surprising has happened: 

While cases as reported the day before yesterday (April 8, 2021) are up more than five-fold from the May 6, 2020 peak, deaths are down five-fold, to a daily total of 38. So the ratio of deaths to cases has dropped from one in 7.7 to one in 210. 

How to account for this? 

Almost certainly it is the result of increased use of the PCR Covid test which has a huge false positive rate. 

Because of the use of the highly misleading test, both cases and deaths are almost certainly being greatly exaggerated, but as the actual number of Covid deaths is declining, whereas the number being tested for Covid is increasing, the number of false positive cases inevitably grows faster than the number of false positive deaths. 

But hear it from Dr. Yeadon, with reference to the UK, in this conversation with James Delingpole. 

According to Yeadon, the Covid epidemic in Britain would be long over except that SAGE, the UK Government's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies says it is not. 

Further, he asserts that Britain achieved Covid19 herd immunity by the summer of last year, due largely to the existence in the population of pre-existent T-Cell immunity resulting from infection from other corona viruses, including several common cold viruses. 

For similar reasons,it is likely that, in Canada, the Covid19 epidemic continues because the Government of Canada and Provincial premiers prefer to mess with peoples' lives and piss away billions for unnecessary Covid relief measures than acknowledge reality.

Another Covid Myth Dies the Death

Latest Vaccine Flip-flop Gives the Vaccine Game Away

How well does the Astra-Zeneca vaccine work in the elderly?  Only two months ago the leaders of France and Germany told us: Officials in Germany claim the Astra-Zeneca vaccine  is only 8% effective in those over 65.

The purpose of the vaccines is obviously not to protect us. The vaccines enrich Pharma. The vaccine passports enable much greater control over the citizenry. There may be additional agendas.  But this is clearly not about our health.
