Explosive Report: China Discussed Making Bioweapons to Target Certain Races

Explosive Report: China Discussed Making Bioweapons to Target Certain Races
by Matt PalumboPosted: June 28, 2021

If a new report is to be believed, China may have far more to answer for than just COVID-19.

According to The Daily Wire:

The investigator is David Asher, who formally led the State Department’s investigation into the pandemic’s origins before the Biden administration shut it down.

China made these statements in 2011 in a submission to the UN’s Seventh Review Conference of the State Parties to the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Biological and Toxin Weapons.
Their submission warned that new kinds of biotechnology would be used for hostile purposes and posted a growing threat to human society. They added that new technologies were making it harder for them to maintain “full and strict compliance with the Biological Weapons Convention.”

As they write in their report:

• “Theoretically speaking, synthetic biotechnology poses a huge latent threat to mankind, as it could be used in the future to create pathogens of even greater toxicity and infectiousness than those currently known, and which are resistant to traditional vaccines and drugs as well as hard to isolate and identify with present day technology.”
• “Thorough study of systems biology in the body can systematically analyze differences in genes and susceptibility to disease in the population and lay the theoretical foundations for an across the board improvement in levels of human health, but it can also create the potential for biological weapons based on genetic differences between races. Once hostile elements grasp that different ethnic groups harbor intrinsically different genetic susceptibilities to particular pathogens, they can put that knowledge into practice and create genetic weapons targeted at a racial group with a particular susceptibility.”
• “The science and technology of synthetic biology are spreading rapidly and synthetic DNA technology has already become a basic tool of biological research; the related reagents and equipment are becoming ever easier to obtain. Accidental mistakes in biotech laboratories can place mankind in great danger. Synthetic biology in some civilian biotechnology research and applications may unintentionally give rise to new, highly hazardous man-made pathogens with unforeseeable consequences.”

Miles Yu, a former adviser to former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, said that he discovered a Chinese research paper that contained the same research fields that China mentioned in their submission to the UN. “It sent chills up my spine when I saw the submissions and the type of research China’s biological weapons experts had been working on, as China proudly announced to a world biological weapons convention, right there in black and white. It bore macabre significance because anything China’s bio-labs do might well be connected to the PLA’s biological weapons of mass destruction of the most lethal and sophisticated kind” he said.

I find this very believable. In fact we speculated on that very early in this thread, that that's why there were so many casualties in China - that they were experimenting on chinese prisoners so that was the genetic version that originally got loose.

Rep. Devin Nunes: World can't lock down again over COVID Delta variant, that's what China wants

Nunes is also among those concerned that the virus might have leaked from the Wuhan Virology Lab.

By Natalia Mittelstadt
Updated: June 29, 2021 - 5:04pm

Republican Rep. Devin Nunes on Tuesday urged world leaders to resist another round of COVID-19 lockdowns to stop the growing spread of the virulent Delta strain, saying such a move would be "playing into exactly what the Chinese want."

The California lawmaker also raised concerns about whether the virus indeed reached humans through an exotic food market in Wuhan, China, as the ruling Chinese Community Party has said.

However, he told the "John Solomon Reports" podcast the top priority is to keep open economies worldwide.

"I would say number one is the world can't ... afford to go into any more lockdown," Nunes said.

He also said he's part of the growing skepticism that the virus didn't reach humans at the market, but instead leaked from the Wuhan Virology Lab.

"Here's like a Delta plus variant now, which is, I think, even more circumstantial evidence that this just didn't come from some animal because this spread so quickly," Nunes said.

He mentioned how treatments and therapeutics, along with other drugs and antivirals like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, championed by former President Trump, are now being used by doctors to treat COVID-19.

"[W]e finally got past all the nonsense and pseudo, fake science," Nunes said. "And now doctors are able to actually use treatments and therapeutics, which we've been able – if you catch this early enough, most people can get over it quickly.

"So now, I think people have figured out, 'Well, we're not going to listen to [Dr. Anthony] Fauci and the World Health Organization or the Democrat Socialist Party. We're gonna listen to the doctors and let doctors actually treat this. And we're going to have to go outside the bounds of what the rules and regulations are.'

"And for God's sakes," Nunes continued, "if we're forcing all these Americans to get vaccines that skip the process, we ought to be able to use these long-term therapeutics that have been on the market, in some cases, for decades, to try to treat these new variants. But I will tell you, I think just further lockdowns are exactly – we'd be playing into exactly what the Chinese want. I mean, lockdowns, just, they just don't work. And we know that from our own country."

He also said that COVID might not be over anytime soon.

"The fact of the matter is this is a very dangerous virus because it's so contagious, and that's likely because it was developed in the lab, in a biological warfare lab. And this is not going to be solved overnight. I mean, look, we can knock on wood and hope that these vaccines and people who have already had COVID, that the antibodies will work against this, but this could continue for a while. I mean, we don't know yet, but it's something that we're all paying attention too closely."

The Fate Of The World Will Be Previewed In The UK

TUESDAY, JUN 29, 2021 - 10:59 AM
By Mark Cudmore, former Lehman trader and current Bloomberg Markets Live commentator

The U.K. will soon confirm if the world will transition rapidly to accept living with Covid-19 as an endemic disease or instead 2H will be about returning lockdowns.

On Monday, the U.K. reported the most number of daily Covid cases in almost five months, as the highly contagious delta variant becomes rampant.

It’s a worrying chart.



But the reason the next few weeks in the U.K. are so crucial for everyone to monitor is that the country is also a leader in vaccines. The trillion-dollar question is whether vaccines will prove adequate in preventing higher case numbers translating into a medical crisis. If yes, countries accelerate their vaccination programs and get on with opening. If no, then we have a major problem on our hands and pandemic-related restrictions may linger for years.

The good news is that there’s zero sign so far of any uptick in fatalities:


However, before we declare victory and focus on vaccine rates globally, we must pause. There should be a decent lag between case numbers and deaths. Some would observe that it’s already been more than three weeks since cases started increasing, but the lag now should be larger than before due to both much more efficient testing and also better hospital care. This means we must wait on tenterhooks for another week or so.

If U.K. fatalities show no material surge by the end of next week, then the world will know that the future globally is bright and we can focus on vaccinations and reopening.

Dude nails the Covid prediction…

Vaccine hunters dressed up as COVID-19 and The Jab go door-to-door searching for the unvaccinated
The Democrat Party claims the be the party of science, but that could not be further from the truth. They are the party of manipulation, if anything.

by Jeff Dornik
June 29, 2021

The Globalist Elite Governors, like California’s Governor Gavin Newsom, are desperate to get you jabbed. They are going to great lengths to manipulate you into getting the vaccine. We’ve seen lotteries with million dollar prizes, Laker season ticket giveaways and good old fashioned guilt-trips like “you don’t want to kill your grandmother, do you?”

In their quest to get every man, woman and child injected with the experimental drug otherwise known as the COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine, Governor Gavin Newsom is spending ten million dollars in a campaign to send “vaccine hunters” door-to-door to convince anyone who has not gotten the COVID-19 Shot to get it.

Apparently, in Orange County, California, these Vaccine Hunters have upped their game, going door-to-door dressed up as COVID-19 and the Vaccine. Now, let’s skip right past the fact that they are going to traumatize countless numbers of children to see a giant needle and deadly virus at their front door. Really, what are they thinking?

When the data didn’t convince us, they turned to bribery. When that didn’t work, they turned to manipulation. When that didn’t work, they turned to hunting down the unvaccinated. When that didn’t work, they dress up in costumes. This is insane.

However, it also shows us how desperate they are to have a 100% vaccination rate. This should be a red flag to all of us. They’ve got everyone so terrified of this virus that has a 99.9% survival rate that even the vaccinated are terrified of the unvaxxed. This leads to peer pressure to get the jab from your friends and family.

All of this is emotional manipulation that completely ignores the science. We are not dealing with an FDA approved vaccine… instead, it’s an experimental drug that is allowed on emergency-use basis through fraudulent mean. The CDC and FDA is suppressing discussions about the extremely safe and effective drugs like Ivermectin and HCQ because if those are allowed, the vaccines would not be able to administered through emergency-use and would have to go through the proper process to get FDA-approved.

Additionally, the massive reports of serious side effects and heart conditions from boys as young as sixteen years old should be a red flag to everybody who cares about their loved ones. Instead, this information is hidden and they send out people dressed as ‘Rona and the Jabby to convince you to take the jab.

And finally, in a time where the Left is screaming about practicing social distancing, who came up with the brilliant idea to send strangers to your home after going door-to-door with your entire neighborhood? Using their logic, if one person had COVID-19 without knowing it, these Vaccine Hunters would end up spreading it to the entire neighborhood.

I think the conclusion that we can draw from this is that the pro-vaxxers are desperate to get you vaccinated. Why? I have no idea, except that they’ve traded logic and reason for fear and emotion.

Pull back the cover-up: COVID was bioweapon, expert argues

Tuesday, June 29, 2021
J.M. Phelps (OneNewsNow.com)


A U.S. military veteran is blaming the Chinese Communist Party's biological warfare program for originating the COVID-19 virus.

As the Biden administration continues to show little interest in investigating allegations of a lab leak in Wuhan, China, One News Now questioned Lawrence Sellin about the origin of the coronavirus. Sellin, who holds a Ph.D. in physiology and an M.A. in biology, argues that the COVID-19 virus, SARS-CoV-2, was created in a Chinese laboratory – specifically, a laboratory used for creating biological weapons.

"The scientific evidence is clear and abundant," states the retired Army Reserve colonel, arguing there are too many anomalies that cannot be explained by a natural process. "The COVID-19 virus was designed as a bioweapon and its creation was supervised by the People's Liberation Army."

A fundamental principle of biological warfare, he explains, is to retain the capability of "plausible deniability." In this case, it's the ability to blame nature for a disease outbreak –and Sellin believes the COVID-19 virus was designed to do just that.

Sellin

According to former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, the virus began with a leak out of the Wuhan Institute of Virology. While Sellin agrees, he offers more insight.

"The Wuhan Institute of Virology or another Wuhan research center may have been the source of the release of the COVID-19 virus," he tells One News Now, "but those institutions represent only a part of a larger People's Liberation Army biowarfare program."

Sellin identifies three levels of the CCP's biological warfare program. First, he says, there is a core secret military level. "The core layer is supervised by the Academy of Military Medical Sciences in coordination with so-called 'civilian' entities such as the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and the Chinese Centers for Disease Control," he offers.

Atop the core layer, Sellin places universities, civilian research institutions, and medical companies. He points out that, in Chinese Communist Party-China, there is no difference between military and civilian research, indicating "the fusion of research and development sectors was mandated by the Chinese Communist Party's 13th Five-Year Plan."

Then there's the middle layer – which Sellin says "has allowed the Chinese Communist Party to access international knowledge and skills, particularly from the United States, all of which has contributed to the advancement of Chinese Communist Party virus research, including bioweapons development."

Thus, he suggests the debate must now shift to the manner in which the virus was released, either accidentally or deliberately. With that said, he maintains the virus was released "because it was a part of an evil plan with evil intent."

Questions that need answers
According to Sellin, several questions remain to be answered. For example: How is the COVID-19 virus connected to China's biological warfare program? Who in the People's Liberation Army were involved in its creation? And what specific procedures did they use to construct the virus in the laboratory?

He considers a number of other concerns equally important, including "the extent to which U.S. scientists and funding contributed to the creation of the COVID-19 virus, as well as the amount of infiltration of U.S. virus research programs by Chinese Communist Party and People's Liberation Army scientists."

To that end, Sellin suggests an investigation of the People's Republic of China-trained scientists presently working in the U.S., some of whom are U.S. citizens who have been assisting CCP propaganda efforts in the U.S.

"Based on the recently released Anthony Fauci emails and related documents," he concludes, "there needs to be a separate investigation of the role of Fauci, other government officials, certain U.S. scientists, the U.S. media and scientific journals in a cover-up of the laboratory origin of the COVID-19 virus."

FDA Advisor Dr. Peter Doshi Explains Why Children Should NOT Receive the COVID Shot

by Dr. Joseph Mercola
June 29, 2021




STORY AT-A-GLANCE

• While Pfizer claims its vaccine is 95% effective, this is the relative risk reduction. The absolute risk reduction — which is far more relevant for public health measures — is actually less than 1%
• While benefits from COVID “vaccination” in children between the ages of 12 and 15 are rare and short-lived, side effects are common and long-term effects are completely unknown
• In the 12-to-15 age group, 75.5% experienced headache, along with a long list of other transient side effects. Serious systemic adverse events occurred in 2.4% of the trial subjects receiving Pfizer’s mRNA shot
• While Pfizer boasted a 100% efficacy rate in 12- to 15-year-olds, this conclusion is a statistical trick. Fewer than 2% of fully vaccinated children avoided COVID-19; 98% of them would not have gotten COVID anyway. So, the benefit is small
• Even if vaccinating children were found to reduce infection among adults, it would be unethical and against regulations to do so, because the FDA can only authorize the use of a medical product in a given population if the benefit outweighs the risk in that same population, and in children the benefits do not outweigh the risks

Many scientists and medical experts have warned that vaccinating children against COVID-19 is both unnecessary and risky in the extreme. The video below features comments by Peter Doshi, Ph.D., made during a June 10, 2021, public hearing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee.

Doshi is an associate professor at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy and the senior editor of The BMJ. He has previously pointed out that while Pfizer claims its vaccine is 95% effective, this is the relative risk reduction. The absolute risk reduction — which is far more relevant for public health measures — is actually less than 1%.1 As such, the COVID-19 vaccine is of dubious benefit, to say the least.

If you choose to watch the video below I must warn you to stop after Doshi finishes and not view the presentation by Dr. Jacqueline Miller. She’s a paid shill pediatrician and the head of development for infectious diseases at Moderna. The reason I advise this caution is because if you understand reality, you will be shocked at how easily a physician can sell out and sacrifice even her own children in the delusional belief that Moderna’s shot provides any benefit to children.

Meanwhile, largely because of irresponsible beliefs and comments like Miller’s, harms are rapidly mounting, which skews the risk-benefit ratio even further.

Considering the potential for harm, children should not get the COVID-19 vaccine, Doshi says, citing trial evidence from Pfizer — the very same evidence used to support its emergency use authorization application for 12- to 15-year-olds. In this trial, harms clearly outweighed the benefits.

Risk-Benefit Analysis
While benefits were rare and short-lived, side effects were common and long-term effects are completely unknown. In the 12-to-15 age group, 75.5% experienced headache, along with a long list of other transient side effects. However, more serious systemic adverse events also occurred in 2.4% of the trial subjects receiving the actual mRNA shot.

2% of the fully vaccinated [children] avoided COVID; 98% of the vaccinated wouldn’t have gotten COVID anyway … So, the benefit is small. ~ Peter Doshi, Ph.D.

Click to expand...

Now, Pfizer boasted a 100% efficacy rate in this age group. This, Doshi explains, was based on 16 cases occurring in the placebo group, while no cases were recorded in the vaccine group. However, since there were about 1,000 placebo recipients, fewer than 2% of the placebo group actually tested positive for COVID-19.

“Put another way, 2% of the fully vaccinated avoided COVID,” Doshi says, adding “98% of the vaccinated wouldn’t have gotten COVID anyway … So, the benefit is small.”

One of the reasons for why children reap so little benefit from this jab is because a significant portion of American children are already immune and aren’t at risk of infection to begin with. Doshi cites Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data showing an estimated 23% of children under the age of 4 and 42% of those age 5 through 17 have already had a SARS-CoV-2 infection and now have robust and long-lasting immunity.

While most side effects in children have been short-lived, at least seven deaths among 12- to 17-year-olds had been reported as of June 11, 2021, as well as 271 events rated “serious.”2 In the long term, there’s really no telling what might happen, and that’s a really important point.

As noted by Doshi, during the 2009 swine flu pandemic, narcolepsy didn’t become apparent until nine months after vaccination with the Pandemrix vaccine, and it wasn’t until four months into Israel’s COVID-19 vaccination campaign that heart damage was recognized as a side effect in young men and boys.

Cocooning Does Not Work
Doshi goes on to explain why vaccinating children will not likely benefit adults, as claimed. This practice, sometimes referred to as “cocooning,” has never actually been proven. Doshi cites a 2021 BMJ editorial3 in which the authors stressed that vaccinating children against COVID-19 is “hard to justify right now,” seeing how children experience only mild disease and transmission by children is limited, while the possibility of unintended consequences is high.

“Should childhood infection (and re-exposures in adults) continue to be typically mild, childhood vaccination will not be necessary to halt the pandemic,” the authors state.4

“The marginal benefits should therefore be considered in the context of local healthcare resources, equitable distribution of vaccines globally, and a more nuanced understanding of the differences between vaccine and infection induced immunity.

Once most adults are vaccinated, circulation of SARS-CoV-2 may in fact be desirable, as it is likely to lead to primary infection early in life when disease is mild, followed by booster re-exposures throughout adulthood as transmission blocking immunity wanes but disease blocking immunity remains high. This would keep reinfections mild and immunity up to date.”

Doshi points out that even if you believe that a small benefit is better than nothing, you must remember that this is an unproven hypothetical benefit. We would need a proper randomized controlled trial to ascertain whether vaccinating children might actually benefit adults. “We need confirmatory evidence, not just assumptions,” Doshi says.

Vaccinating Children to Benefit Adults Is Unethical
However, even if vaccinating children were found to reduce infection among adults, we may still not be able to do so. Why? Because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration can only authorize the use of a medical product in a given population if the benefit outweighs the risk in that same population.

This means that even if adults were to benefit, if children don’t benefit from it themselves, then we cannot authorize the vaccine for children. So, if children reap no benefit, then whether or not vaccinating them might benefit adults is a moot argument. You cannot authorize a drug for use in a population that reaps no benefit.

In conclusion, Doshi points out that the FDA has no basis on which to grant COVID-19 vaccines emergency use authorization for children in the first place, as COVID-19 is not an emergency in children. The threat this infection poses to children is negligible and no more serious than that of the common cold or flu.

Since demonstrated risks far outweigh demonstrated benefits in children, the vaccines also fail to meet the biologics license application required for ultimate market approval.

Already, healthy children have died shortly after the jabs, dozens of cases of heart inflammation have been reported, and Pfizer’s own biodistribution study raises serious questions about the shot’s potential to cause infertility. Last but not least, since there’s no “unmet need,” there’s also no need to rush to approve these injections for children.

To be clear, the only way they can even try to justify vaccinating children is by sacrificing them as shields to protect the elderly, which is completely unethical. Children are not harmed by COVID-19 itself, yet they keep using the slogan that “Nobody is safe until everyone is vaccinated,” which simply isn’t true.

Follow the science: ‘Deadly’ Delta variant registers a 99.9+% recovery rate

We should celebrate, not fear, Delta dominance.

June 29, 2021 (The Dossier) – You wouldn’t know it by following the corporate press and the usual suspects who traffic in endless amounts of COVID Mania fear mongering, but the actual data on the much hyped Delta variant (sometimes referred to as the Indian variant) that you keep hearing about doesn’t fit the “deadly” virus narrative that is being advertised to the public.

Don’t take it from me. Here’s the data straight from the U.K. government, which is tracking this mutation as sporting a case fatality rate of 0.1%.


Now, a case fatality rate (CFR) is many times higher than the actual death rate (infection fatality rate, or IFR), because the vast majority of COVID-19 cases go undetected. Through my previous reporting, I’ve found that the World Health Organization runs its numbers based on the estimate that 1 in 20 cases are detected, while the CDC bases its estimates on a 1 in 10 ratio.

In plain english, this means that based on CDC and WHO guidelines, the Delta variant’s death rate is actually significantly lower than the 0.1% number that appears in the U.K. government docs.



Additionally, there is still the “dying from COVID” versus “dying with COVID” problem in this calculation. In places like the U.K., any death that occurs within 28 days of a positive COVID test is labeled as a COVID death. They don’t conclude if a positive test has actually contributed to that death in any meaningful way.



Now, observe the detachment between this infinitesimal threat and the fear mongering campaign surrounding it.

The Delta variant weighs in at such a low, inconsequential death rate that it becoming the dominant strain (with an actual death rate registering multiple times under that of a seasonal Flu) should actually be celebrated as a relief for humanity, yet the people who want to rule over us like power drunk despots would not benefit from such an admission. Using the word “deadly” to describe this mutation is simply total propaganda, and a complete assault on our language.



Of course, there was never a reason to rob us of our liberties in the name of attempting to control the spread of a virus. And especially with the Delta case, the argument for further restrictions immediately falls apart upon examination of the data. If only they followed the science!

Dr. John Ioannidis is a Professor of Medicine, Epidemiology and Population Health, and Biomedical Data Science at Stanford University. He was labeled "one of the most influential scientists alive" by The Atlantic and is one of the top cited scientist in the world averaging >6,000 new citations per month.

In March of 2020, Dr. Ioannidis published an opinion essay arguing against school closures, social distancing measures, and lockdowns.

This is highlights from a 2-hour presentation that he gave on June 25, 2021 where he discusses the 10,000 fold difference in fatality rates between children and the elderly, the failure of school closures and lockdown policies, and dives into the data on many more topics.

"Panic Porn Dressed Up As Science" - Exposing The Truth About The Delta Variant

WEDNESDAY, JUN 30, 2021 - 07:39 AM
Equity futures are in the red Wednesday morning as Dr. Anthony Fauci's warnings about the supposedly "dire threat" posed by the Delta variant continue to be dramatically amplified by the American media.


Yesterday, we delved into the issue of the Delta variant as daily COVID cases reported in the US ticked higher after touching their lowest levels since the start of the pandemic. The data set off another round of warnings about the relatively large swath of Americans who refuse to get the vaccine.

On Wednesday, Bloomberg published the latest in a series of stories effectively re-stating the same facts: the vaccination rate in a handful of deep-red states has substantially lagged the rate in the rest of the country. The lead-in for Wednesday's story was the fact that the gap between the most- and least-vaccinated states has continued to widen. Though even Bloomberg concedes that "on a national level, the news appears good...the country's vaccination campaign is among the most successful in the world..."


Source: Bloomberg

One academic quoted in the Bloomberg story, Timothy Callaghan, who studies rural health at Texas A&M, warned that "we're going to have counties where vaccination is rare and nowhere close to herd immunity, and others where it's high. We could be headed toward a divided country of haves and have nots."

They also warned that an analysis last week of COVID cases in 700 counties found that the new delta variant first identified in India (which, according to Bloomberg, is "far more contagious") has been found more often in less-vaccinated US counties.

But is the Delta variant really "far more contagious" than earlier iterations of SARS-CoV-2?

In a recent piece published by the Blaze, writer Daniel Horowitz explains that the existing data suggests Delta isn't any deadlier or more infectious than other strains. Horowitz described the warnings from epidemiologists and public health bureaucrats like Dr. Fauci as "panic porn dressed up as science."

The implication from these headlines is that somehow this variant is truly more transmissible and deadly (as the previous variants were falsely portrayed to be), they escape natural immunity and possibly the vaccine — and therefore, paradoxically, you must get vaccinated and continue doing all the things that failed to work for the other variants!
After each city and country began getting ascribed its own "variant," I think the panic merchants realized that the masses would catch on to the variant scam, so they decided to rename them Alpha (British), Beta (South African), Gamma (Brazilian), and Delta (Indian), which sounds more like a hierarchy of progression and severity rather than each region simply getting hit when it's in season until the area reaches herd immunity.

Click to expand...

However, if people would actually look at the data, they'd realize that the Delta variant is actually less deadly. These headlines are able to gain momentum only because of the absurd public perception that somehow India got hit worse than the rest of the world. In reality, India has one-seventh the death rate per capita of the U.S.; it's just that India got the major winter wave later, when the Western countries were largely done with it, thereby giving the illusion that India somehow suffered worse. Now, the public health Nazis are transferring their first big lie about what happened in India back to the Western world.

Click to expand...

Fortunately, the U.K. government has already exposed these headlines as a lie, for those willing to take notice. On June 18, Public Health England published its 16th report on "SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and variants under investigation in England," this time grouping the variants by Greek letters.

Click to expand...

Click to expand...

As you can see, the Delta variant has a 0.1% case fatality rate (CFR) out of 31,132 Delta sequence infections confirmed by investigators. That is the same rate as the flu and is much lower than the CFR for the ancestral strain or any of the other variants. And as we know, the CFR is always higher than the infection fatality rate (IFR), because many of the mildest and asymptomatic infections go undocumented, while the confirmed cases tend to have a bias toward those who are more evidently symptomatic.

Click to expand...

In other words, Delta is literally the flu with a CFR identical to it. This is exactly what every respiratory pandemic has done through history: morphed into more transmissible and less virulent form that forces the other mutations out since you get that one.

Click to expand...

Nothing about masks, lockdowns, or experimental shots did this. To the extent this really is more transmissible, it's going to be less deadly, as is the case with the common cold. To the extent that there are areas below the herd immunity threshold (for example, in Scotland and the northwestern parts of the U.K.) they will likely get the Delta variant (until something else supplants it), but fatalities will continue to go down.

Click to expand...

According to the above-mentioned report, the Delta variant represented more than 75% of all cases in the U.K. since mid-May. If it really was that deadly, it should have been wreaking havoc over the past few weeks.

Click to expand...

Click to expand...

You can see almost a perfect inverse relationship between hospitalization rates throughout April and May plummeting as the Delta variant became the dominant strain of the virus in England.

Click to expand...

Some areas might see a slight oscillation from time to time as herd immunity fills in, regardless of which variant is floating around. However, the death burden is well below that of a flu season and is no longer an epidemic.

Click to expand...

As for vaccines, there is no evidence that somehow they provide better protection than prior infection from any other strain of the virus, nor does the Delta variant justify further use of these experimental shots. If anything, the U.K. data show that, to the extent there were deaths due to the Delta variant, there were more fatalities among those already vaccinated relative to the number of confirmed cases by vaccination status.

Click to expand...

Click to expand...

Again, the numbers are low across the board and there is no evidence the Delta variant is anything but less deadly for anyone. But there is certainly no evidence that somehow the vaccine is a greater imperative because of this variant. India itself appears to have achieved herd immunity – with the WHO estimating infection rates between 60% and 75% in most places – with one-seventh the death rate of England, but with one-fourth the percentage of people who have receive one dose of the vaccine.

Click to expand...

Thus, the good news is that now that most countries have reached a large degree of herd immunity, there is zero threat of hospitals being overrun by any seasonal increase in various areas, no matter the variant. The bad news is that after Delta, there are Epsilon and 19 other letters of the Greek alphabet, which will enable the circuitous cycle of misinformation, fear, panic, and control to continue. And remember, as there is already a "Delta+," the options are endless until our society finally achieves immunity to COVID panic porn.

Click to expand...

That being said, the US isn't the only country falling victim to the Delta variant hysteria. Reports published Wednesday morning claimed EU leaders including Germany's Angela Merkel and France's Emmanuel Macron were planning to hold a call to discuss more potential travel restrictions. It's increasingly looking like anybody with international travel plans might see them dashed due to Delta paranoia. But there's a reason why British PM Boris Johnson plans to lift the last remaining restrictions in England on July 19, when the recent extension is set to expire.

But not everybody has been fooled. As we pointed out yesterday, Sen. Rand Paul has been one of the most vocal critics of the "Delta" variant hysteria. In a tweet sent yesterday morning, he urged the public not to let the fearmongers win.

Though judging by the sea of red on Wall Street Wednesday morning, it looks like most haven't taken his advice.

And don't forget - like Horowitz pointed out - if this wave of fearmongering fizzles, there are still plenty of other letters in the Greek alphabet that can be used to provoke paranoia.

CDC Director: Vaccinated People Don't Need To Wear Masks Amid Delta COVID-19 Variant Fears

WEDNESDAY, JUN 30, 2021 - 02:00 PM
Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times,

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky issued a clarification on the COVID-19 “Delta” variant, proclaiming that fully vaccinated individuals are protected against the strain and don’t need to wear masks.



Some municipalities—including Los Angeles County—and a number of countries as well as the World Health Organization (WHO) have recommended mask-wearing in recent days due to the Delta COVID-19 strain. Such guidance has triggered confusion about whether the virus can affect vaccinated individuals and prompted fears that health officials would reimplement more lockdowns or other measures.

Walensky, however, said that the CDC’s recommendation on wearing masks in public hasn’t changed.

“If you are vaccinated, you are safe from the variants that are circulating here in the United States,” Walensky told NBC’s “Today” show, adding it was “exactly right” that the agency’s guidance still stipulates that vaccinated individuals don’t need to wear masks.

Officials in Israel and in other areas, meanwhile, have reported a number of so-called “breakthrough” cases involving fully vaccinated people contracting the COVID-19 Delta strain. The strain has prompted new lockdowns in the Asia-Pacific region as well as Israel.

In the case of WHO’s guidance, she added, the U.N. health organization is dealing with COVID-19 on a larger scale than the United States, which has a relatively high vaccination rate.

“We know that the WHO has to make guidelines and provide information to the world,” Walenksy said.

“Right now, we know as we look across the globe that less than 15 percent of people around the world have been vaccinated and many people of those have really only received one dose of a two-dose vaccine. There are places around the world that are surging.”

And in response to Los Angeles County issuing recommendations on wearing masks, she didn’t make any specific comments.

“We have always said that local policymakers need to make policies for their local environment,” the CDC director said.

The media coverage on health officials’ announcements about the Delta strain, meanwhile, has prompted harsh words from lockdown critics.

“Don’t let the fearmongers win. New public England study of delta variant shows 44 deaths out of 53,822 (.08%) in unvaccinated group. Hmmm,” wrote Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Twitter.

Walensky noted in the interview that there is “less data” on how the Johnson & Johnson vaccine performs against the Delta variant, adding:

“Right now we have no information to suggest that you need a second shot after J&J, even with the Delta variant.”

Heart Inflammation Linked to COVID Vaccines in Study of U.S. Military, Department of Defense Confirms

In a study published June 29 in JAMA Cardiology, researchers described 23 cases of myocarditis in healthy military members who developed the condition within four days of receiving the Pfizer or Moderna COVID vaccines.

A new study of U.S. service members found higher than expected rates of heart inflammation following receipt of a COVID vaccine. It’s a finding Defense Department researchers say should call attention to the condition, known as myocarditis, as a potential side effect of vaccinations.

In a study published June 29 in JAMA Cardiology, U.S. military physicians described 23 cases of myocarditis in previously healthy males who developed the condition within four days of receiving a COVID vaccine.

A total of 23 male patients (22 currently serving in the military and 1 retiree) with a median age range of 25 years were evaluated between January and April 2021 for acute-onset chest pain following vaccination with an mRNA COVID vaccine.

All military members were previously healthy with a high level of fitness. They were physically fit by military standards and lacked any known history of cardiac disease, significant cardiac risk factors or exposure to cardiotoxic agents.

Seven military members received Pfizer’s COVID vaccine and 16 received the Moderna vaccine. Each patient had a final diagnosis of myocarditis without infectious, ischemic or autoimmune etiologies identified. Diagnoses were reviewed and met the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) case definition criteria for probable myocarditis.

All patients presented with acute chest pain and significantly elevated cardiac troponin levels (10-fold to 400-fold the upper limits of their respective reference ranges) with symptom onset within 12 to 96 hours following COVID vaccination.

According to the study, physicians expected to find eight or fewer cases of myocarditis among the 436,000 male military members who received two mRNA doses. But 20 military members developed inflammation after their second dose, including 14 after the Moderna shot and six after the Pfizer shot. Three developed myocarditis after their first vaccine.

Cardiac symptoms resolved within a week of onset for 16 patients, but seven continued to have chest pain at the time of publication.

The researchers stated that while the true incidence of myocarditis is unknown at this time, the presentation pattern and clinical course suggest an association with an inflammatory response to vaccination.

The team concluded that increased attention to myocarditis as a potential adverse event following vaccination is warranted.

New study supports link between mRNA COVID vaccines and heart inflammation

A separate study published in JAMA Cardiology on June 29 investigated seven cases of acute myocarditis. Four cases occurred within five days of COVID vaccination between Feb. 1 and April 30.

All four patients had received the second dose of an mRNA vaccine and presented with severe chest pain, had biomarker evidence of myocardial injury, were hospitalized and had test results consistent with myocarditis.

“It is possible that these four cases of acute myocarditis represent a rare, potential adverse event linked to mRNA COVID-19 vaccination,” researchers wrote. “The findings from the present report raise the possibility of an association between mRNA COVID-19 vaccination and acute myocarditis.”

An association between COVID vaccines and myocarditis was first reported in Israel with a case study in February involving a 19-year-old male.

On April 26, details leaked from an Israeli Health Ministry report raising concerns among experts about a possible link between the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine and myocarditis.

A preliminary report by an Israeli committee tasked with monitoring vaccine side effects found 62 cases of myocarditis, including two deaths, in people who received the Pfizer vaccine. Fifty-six cases occurred after the second dose of the vaccine, and 55 cases occurred in men — most between the ages of 18 and 30.

The two patients who died were reportedly healthy until receiving the vaccine and had no pre-existing conditions.

On April 27, Reuters reported the U.S. Department of Defense was investigating 14 cases of heart inflammation among people who were vaccinated through the military’s health services.

On June 2, Israeli health officials confirmed a probable link between the Pfizer’s COVID vaccine and dozens of cases of heart inflammation in young men following the second dose.

As The Defender reported June 10, the CDC’s advisory committee acknowledged a higher-than-expected number of cases of heart inflammation among 16- to 24-year-olds who recently received a second dose of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines.

Based on a May 24 report from the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Technical Work Group (VaST), the CDC on June 1 updated its website with the following language:

“Data from VAERS [Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System] show that in the 30-day window following dose 2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, there was a higher number of observed than expected myocarditis/pericarditis cases in 16–24-year-olds.”

On June 23, the ACIP said there was a “likely association” of “mild” heart inflammation in adolescents and young adults after vaccination with an mRNA COVID vaccine and a warning statement was warranted.

The safety panel acknowledged more than 1,200 cases of myocarditis or pericarditis in 16- to-24-year-olds who received an mRNA COVID vaccine, mostly occurring in males after the second dose.

As The Defender reported June 28, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration added a warning to Pfizer and Moderna’s fact sheets indicating an increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination.

According to the latest data from VAERS, there were 1,342 cases of myocarditis and pericarditis (heart inflammation) in all age groups reported in the U.S. following COVID vaccination between Dec.14, 2020 and June 18, 2021.

Of the 1,342 cases reported, 835 cases were attributed to Pfizer, 458 cases to Moderna and 45 cases to Johnson & Johnson’s COVID vaccine.

Experimental Assessment of Carbon Dioxide Content in Inhaled Air With or Without Face Masks in Healthy Children
Harald Walach, PhD1; Ronald Weikl, MD2; Juliane Prentice, BA3; et al

7-9 minutes


June 30, 2021

JAMA Pediatr. Published online June 30, 2021. doi:10.1001/jamapediatrics.2021.2659

Many governments have made nose and mouth covering or face masks compulsory for schoolchildren. The evidence base for this is weak.1,2 The question whether nose and mouth covering increases carbon dioxide in inhaled air is crucial. A large-scale survey3 in Germany of adverse effects in parents and children using data of 25 930 children has shown that 68% of the participating children had problems when wearing nose and mouth coverings.

The normal content of carbon dioxide in the open is about 0.04% by volume (ie, 400 ppm). A level of 0.2% by volume or 2000 ppm is the limit for closed rooms according to the German Federal Environmental Office, and everything beyond this level is unacceptable.4

We measured carbon dioxide content in inhaled air with and without 2 types of nose and mouth coverings in a well-controlled, counterbalanced, short-term experimental study in volunteer children in good health (details are in the eMethods in Supplement 1). The study was conducted according to the Declaration of Helsinki and submitted to the ethics committee of the University Witten/Herdecke. All children gave written informed consent, and parents also gave written informed consent for children younger than 16 years. A 3-minute continuous measurement was taken for baseline carbon dioxide levels without a face mask. A 9-minute measurement for each type of mask was allowed: 3 minutes for measuring the carbon dioxide content in joint inhaled and exhaled air, 3 minutes for measuring the carbon dioxide content during inhalation, and 3 minutes for measuring the carbon dioxide content during exhalation. The carbon dioxide content of ambient air was always kept well under 0.1% by volume through multiple ventilations. The sequence of masks was randomized, and randomization was blinded and stratified by age of children. We analyzed data using a linear model for repeated measurements with P < .05 as the significance threshold. The measurement protocol (trial protocol in Supplement 2) is available online.5 Data were collected on April 9 and 10, 2021, and analyzed using Statistica version 13.3 (TIBCO).

The mean (SD) age of the children was 10.7 (2.6) years (range, 6-17 years), and there were 20 girls and 25 boys. Measurement results are presented in the Table. We checked potential associations with outcome. Only age was associated with carbon dioxide content in inhaled air (y = 1.9867 – 0.0555 × x; r = –0.39; P = .008; Figure). Hence, we added age as a continuous covariate to the model. This revealed an association (partial η2 = 0.43; P < .001). Contrasts showed that this was attributable to the difference between the baseline value and the values of both masks jointly. Contrasts between the 2 types of masks were not significant. We measured means (SDs) between 13 120 (384) and 13 910 (374) ppm of carbon dioxide in inhaled air under surgical and filtering facepiece 2 (FFP2) masks, which is higher than what is already deemed unacceptable by the German Federal Environmental Office by a factor of 6. This was a value reached after 3 minutes of measurement. Children under normal conditions in schools wear such masks for a mean of 270 (interquartile range, 120-390) minutes.3 The Figure shows that the value of the child with the lowest carbon dioxide level was 3-fold greater than the limit of 0.2 % by volume.4 The youngest children had the highest values, with one 7-year-old child’s carbon dioxide level measured at 25 000 ppm.

The limitations of the study were its short-term nature in a laboratory-like setting and the fact that children were not occupied during measurements and might have been apprehensive. Most of the complaints reported by children3 can be understood as consequences of elevated carbon dioxide levels in inhaled air. This is because of the dead-space volume of the masks, which collects exhaled carbon dioxide quickly after a short time. This carbon dioxide mixes with fresh air and elevates the carbon dioxide content of inhaled air under the mask, and this was more pronounced in this study for younger children.

This leads in turn to impairments attributable to hypercapnia. A recent review6 concluded that there was ample evidence for adverse effects of wearing such masks. We suggest that decision-makers weigh the hard evidence produced by these experimental measurements accordingly, which suggest that children should not be forced to wear face masks.

“The Delta Variant is Like Nothing We’ve Seen Before” – CNN Uses Doctor to Scare People Into Getting Covid Vaccine (VIDEO)

By Cristina Laila
Published June 30, 2021 at 3:43pm



CNN rolled out Dr. Peter Hotez of Houston to scare the few people watching the fake news outlet into getting the Covid vaccine.

“The Delta variant is like nothing we’ve seen before,” Dr. Hotez said as he made his case for vaccination. “This is twice as infectious as anything we’ve seen .. If you’re a young adult or adolescent, don’t listen to the anti-vaccine nonsense that says if you go to the gym and eat a healthy diet, that’s good enough — it’s not…”

Not one word from the good doctor about how potentially dangerous the Covid jab is for adolescents.

Myocarditis (heart inflammation) after the Covid-19 shot is “higher than expected” in young men and teen boys.

But this doctor is telling healthy young adults and teens who have virtually zero chance of dying from Covid to put themselves at risk of Myocarditis rather than working out and eating right.

Fauci Warns Refusing Vaccination Splitting US Into Two Countries, Judge Sentences Men To Vaccination

Jun 30, 2021


Tim Pool

Fauci Warns Refusing Vaccination Splitting US Into Two Countries, Judge Sentences Men To Vaccination. Dr. Fauci's statements line up with data showing states won by trump are less likely to vaccinate than states won by biden. Democrats and republicans are so divided on vaccines that now even Fauci is entertaining the idea of a cold civil war or peaceful divorce in the United States. In one instance a judge is sentencing men to be vaccinated sparking outrage among even leftists and the ACLU

Rand Paul rips delta variant ‘fearmongers,’ cites .08% death rate in unvaccinated group

By Douglas Ernst - The Washington Times - Tuesday, June 29, 2021
Sen. Rand Paul says Americans must not let “the fearmongers win” as rhetoric about the dangers of the delta variant of COVID-19 heats up.

The Kentucky Republican took to Twitter on Tuesday with some statistics on the contagion’s delta strain, which originated in India.

“Don’t let the fearmongers win,” Mr. Paul told his 3.2 million followers. “New public England study of delta variant shows 44 deaths out of 53,822 (.08%) in unvaccinated group. Hmmm.”

Mr. Paul‘s tweet follows a video message by Dr. Anthony Fauci on the issue that President Biden shared on June 24.

“Here’s the deal: The Delta variant is more contagious, it’s deadlier, and it’s spreading quickly around the world — leaving young, unvaccinated people more vulnerable than ever,” Mr. Biden tweeted in conjunction with the NIAID director’s commentary. “Please, get vaccinated if you haven’t already. Let’s head off this strain before it’s too late.”



Los Angeles County answered the president’s call, for example, by urging citizens to wear masks inside, even if they are fully vaccinated.

“With increase circulation of the highly transmissible delta variant, the Los Angeles County of Public Health (Public Health), strongly recommends everyone, regardless of vaccination status, wear masks indoors,” health officials said in a statement released Monday.

Mr. Paul has been a consistent critic of Dr. Fauci and has insisted that he’s been correct “all along” regarding his handling of the pandemic.

“As you can see, emails that have been released now under Freedom of Information Act show two very important things: Fauci has been lying. I’ve been right all along,” the senator recently wrote in an email to supporters.

FOIA emails first published by BuzzFeed News reveal Dr. Fauci saying masks “are really for infected people to prevent them from spreading infection to people who are not infected rather than protecting uninfected people from acquiring infection.”

The infectious disease expert also said masks purchased at drugstores are “not really effective” against a virus since COVID-19 is “small enough to pass through material.”

“Told you. #firefauci.,” Mr. Paultweeted June 2. “Can’t wait to see the media try to spin the Fauci FOIA emails.”

Carol Roth: COVID allowed our government to enact the biggest wealth transfer ever… and you should be furious

We cannot let the government continue to pick winners and losers


By Carol Roth FOXBusiness

Small businesses fight Amazon for consumer dollars
Former investment banker Carol Roth discusses the state of retail on 'Fox Business Tonight'

Over a period of just more than a year, the U.S. government has enabled the biggest wealth transfer in history, from average Americans to the wealthy and well connected. This should be causing nationwide outrage but barely anyone is talking about it.

The government has been inflating the costs of everything it touches for years, from education to the cost of home ownership, putting an extra burden on the middle class. Likewise, the Federal Reserve has been printing money and suppressing interest rates, a maneuver that has accelerated substantially since the Great Recession.

As I highlight in my new book, "The War on Small Business: How the Government Used the Pandemic to Crush the Backbone of America," in 2020 as the coronavirus hit the United States, government actions were brought to a new, devastating level.

The government decided which businesses are workers were and were not deemed "essential," during the pandemic, not based on science but based on political clout and connections. This meant that a large percentage of small businesses closed, in whole or part, while larger companies got the benefit of accessing these closed businesses’ customers.

Simultaneously, the Federal Reserve took action to support the stock market and the biggest companies, the types of entities that already had access to capital (as well as years of access to cheap debt). This meant trillions of dollars, created at the stroke of a digital entry by the Fed, were pumped into the market. This enabled big companies and their shareholders to get more value, while destroying risk pricing and small businesses.

It’s time we asked if the Fed's role in making the wealthiest among us even wealthier is an unfortunate side effect or the whole point of their and the government’s plan.

During 2020, seven technology companies alone gained trillions of dollars in market value as a result of government mandates and Fed actions.

It was a record year for accessing capital as well, with a historic number of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and amount raised via Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs).

The Fed and other government actions to lift up Wall Street have come at everyone else’s expense. We are now seeing inflation in all parts of our lives, from the cost of homes to our food bills at the grocery store.

Click to expand...

All the while, hundreds of thousands of small businesses had closed in a matter of months and millions more were fighting for their lives-- businesses that accounted, pre-2020, for about half the employment and GDP of the country.

The Fed and other government actions to lift up Wall Street have come at everyone else’s expense. We are now seeing inflation in all parts of our lives, from the cost of homes to our food bills at the grocery store.

Additionally, savers and retirees have been thrown under the proverbial bus, making it difficult to earn interest on their savings without taking on inflated risk—the same scenario any average American investing is also facing.

How could there be such a disconnect between these scenarios? It is the natural outcome from the government picking winners and losers, deciding who could thrive and who had to fight to survive. And that outcome never ends well for the little guys, such as small businesses.

The wealth transfer continued by Congressional action as well. The CARES Act and subsequent legislation heavily favored crony interests, at the expense of every taxpayer (literally, trillions of dollars in expense).

Biden White House to Deploy “Delta Variant” Response Teams Across US to Communities with Low Vaccination Rates

By Cristina Laila
Published July 1, 2021 at 12:30pm

The Biden Administration will be deploying “Delta variant” response teams across the country to communities with low vaccination rates.

The teams will be made up of officials from the CDC, Department of Health and Human Services and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, according to CNN.

The government officials will be focused on communities with low vaccination rates as Biden’s goal of 70% vaccination by 4th of July falls short.

As of this week, only 47.2% of Americans are fully vaccinated.

CNN reported:

The White House has deployed similar response teams in the past, but this is the first time they are focused on the Delta variant, a White House official said. These response teams will conduct surge testing, provide therapeutics like monoclonal antibodies and deploy federal personnel to areas that need support staff for vaccinations.

The White House coronavirus team is spearheading this effort and officials expect the teams will help with everything from boosting testing, providing supplies and potentially increasing paid media efforts targeting regions where vaccinations are low.

Click to expand...

While these response teams are being sent to prop up communities, officials believe vaccinations are the number one way to stop the spread and recognize there could be a limit to their efforts. Most US adults who plan to get vaccinated against Covid-19 have already done so, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation report released this week.

COVID-19 Outbreak in Israel, Fully Vaccinated Individuals Make Up 50% of Infected Adults

The latest wave of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections in Israel has raised concerns, given that the nation is one of the most vaccinated countries in the world. The new wave of infections is believed to be driven by the Delta variant that first emerged in India, accounting for roughly 90 percent of cases.

Around 55 percent of the country’s 9.3 million people have been fully vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. The breakthrough cases, or infections in fully vaccinated people, account for around 40 to 50 percent of new COVID-19 cases, Prof. Chezy Levy, the Director-General of the Health Ministry, said in an interview with local radio.

Prof. Levy added that the figure is concerning. “Even though the numbers are low, the fact that this is reaching vaccinated people means… that we are still checking how many vaccinated people have also been infected,” Levy said.

On June 15th, the government lifted a face mask mandate in enclosed public spaces. However, according to new guidelines issued by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, face masks could once again be mandated in enclosed spaces if an average of 100 or more new cases are diagnosed daily for a week.

The Health Ministry’s advice is for people to start wearing masks again. In his meeting with a panel of health experts, Bennett said that the new wave of infections will be treated as a fresh outbreak.

“It also infects people who have been vaccinated. You can get vaccinated and get infected… We have seen in other countries like the UK a significant increase in child hospitalizations… So we made an initial decision to treat it as a new outbreak – and our goal is to interrupt it; take a bucket of water and pour it over the fire when it is still small,” Bennett said in the meeting.

In a recent media presentation, Dr. Sharon Alray-Price, head of Public Health Services, revealed that of the 891 coronavirus cases confirmed in Israel during May, almost half had received two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. A Channel 12 report showed that 6,765 fully vaccinated people had contracted the coronavirus, and based on epidemiological tracing, another 3,133 had contracted the virus from the vaccinated people.

Back in January, the Israel Defense Force’s (IDF) Military Intelligence Directorate published a report warning that vaccines could trigger viral mutations.

“The mass vaccination program, which is happening at the same time as an active outbreak in Israel, may lead to evolutionary stress on the virus… This situation may cause that mutations offering the virus a certain protection against immunity (whether from the vaccine or disease) will spread significantly among the population, if they appear,” the report said.

The government has decided to postpone the date tourists are allowed to enter from July 1 to August 1. Fines could be levied against individuals who travel to countries on the government’s COVID-19 blacklist, including South Africa, Russia, India, Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina. Health officials have been empowered to quarantine anyone who has been exposed to the Delta variant, regardless of if they have been vaccinated or recovered from an earlier infection.

The number of daily new confirmed COVID-19 cases per million was 16.85 as of June 27, which is 6.5 times more than the rate of 2.59 recorded a month earlier, on May 27. As of June 28, Israel has reported 840,995 cases of infections and 6,429 deaths.

US situation, WHO warning
According to a report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a total of 10,262 breakthrough cases were reported in America as of April 30. The agency stopped counting breakthrough cases afterwards, opting to only track the number of hospitalizations and deaths among vaccinated individuals. In Massachusetts, 3,791 breakthrough cases were reported in fully vaccinated individuals as of June 12.

At a recent news briefing at the World Health Organization (WHO) Geneva headquarters, assistant director-general for access to medicines and health products, Dr. Mariangela Simao, stated that people cannot feel safe just because they have been jabbed, and they still need to protect themselves. “Vaccine alone won’t stop community transmission,” Simao stated.

WATCH: Jim Jordan Shows Fauci Withheld Vital Coronavirus Details From Trump’s WH

Written by Wes Walker on July 1, 2021

The big question is so many scandals is ‘what did you know, and when did you know it’? With the FOIA requests on these emails, we have an answer to that question.

Jim Jordan is using those emails to connect the dots with Fauci, and the picture they are painting is a damning one, indeed.

The time frame Jim is describing here begins on January 31, 2020 when the world was still barely seeing the leading edge of the storm that was to follow.

Here’s what Dr. Fauci knew within 13 hours of receiving an email suggesting gain of function connection to the Coronavirus…

1) Dr. Fauci knew there was a lethal virus on the loose that began in Wuhan, China.
2) He knows the American taxpayers have funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China.
3) He knows that the research grant didn’t go through the required oversight board.
4) He knows the virus, quote, ‘looks engineered’ and quote, ‘not consistent with evolutionary theory’.
5) He knows he may have ties to this work in China… his fingerprints, in fact, may be on this.

What was his immediate response? He organized a conference call for later that same day… but he did NOT send it to his various American governmental counterparts who would be heading up the Coronavirus response. He contacted virologists from around the world. Fauci was the ONLY person from the government on this urgent call. We do not know explicitly what happened on that call, but we do know what happened 4 days later.

Four days later, the same guy who said in an email to Fauci that the virus ‘looked engineered’ sent another email saying something quite different. ‘The crackpot theories going around at the moment relate to this virus being somehow engineered. That is demonstrably false.’

In four days he went from saying this looks engineered to claiming that anyone who says what he himself said less than a week before was a ‘crackpot’. Ok, then.

That same Mr. Anderson, as well as several other people on that call, write an article a few weeks later that says ‘COVID is not a laboratory construct’.

Fauci is even offered a chance to edit this article before it was published. When it was published, Dr. Fauci cites it at a White House press conference when he is asked by a reporter about the origin of the virus. He cites the very article he put in motion on the conference call and he was allowed to edit.

As he wrapped up, Jordan added:

At the White House, where he is supposed to be giving the American people the truth, he references an article that he manufactured.
…I’m convinced these guys knew right from the get-go what the truth was, and they misled the American people.

Then he held up a ream of pages that were almost entirely blacked out with redactions, and told us that they were the emails regarding that conference call on February 2, involving all the guys mentioned previously. Every single thing about what took place on that conference call is redacted.

Who are those redactions protecting?

It isn’t hard to guess… but it sure doesn’t look like they are protecting the interests of the American public.

Americans Feel Less Free After China Virus Pandemic: Poll

Video on website 2:05 min

Hello Americans. I’m Todd Starnes with news and commentary next.

A new survey shows that a majority of Americans feel less free.

The Trafalgar Group asked if we had more or less personal freedom today than we did before the China Virus outbreak.

57 percent of Americans say we have less personal freedom.

I’m not all that surprised that most Americans feel less free.

Over the past year and a half many of our church houses were shut down. Pastors were arrested. Worshippers were fined.

Schools are still closed in many parts of the nation – children forced to attend zoom classes.

Health inspectors – acting like storm troopers – padlocked restaurants and small businesses around the country.

There really has been a war on freedom.

And we have no one to blame but ourselves.

The greatest fear was never the global pandemic. It was how willing our fellow countrymen were willing to surrender their constitutional rights — in the name of public safety – for the sake of common good.

There’s just one problem – when your give the government something, they never give it back.

I’m Todd Starnes.

New Study Links "Acute Chest Pain" In Male Soldiers To mRNA Vaccines

THURSDAY, JUL 01, 2021 - 06:20 PM
More research has been published highlighting more problematic side effects linked to COVID-19 shots. Last week, we published our latest update on rare cases of heart inflammation that have been linked to the mRNA COVID jabs, including the jabs from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. After a hurried secret meeting with its advisory board on vaccine safety, the FDA reluctantly release a warning asking patients experiencing these symptoms to seek help immediately.


The latest study, published in JAMA's Cardiology Journal on Tuesday, showed that 23 male soldiers (including 22 who were deemed "previously health") between the ages of 20 and 51 presented "acute onset of marked chest pain" within four days of receiving their second dose. Patients who sought care for chest pain in the military health-care system following COVID-19 vaccination and were subsequently diagnosed with clinical myocarditis were included in the case study.

All the members who tested for myocarditis (for those who aren't familiar with it, myocarditis is a condition that causes the swelling of the heart muscle and can cause difficulty breathing, heart failure, and death) were all "physically fit by military standards and lacking any known history of cardiac disease, significant cardiac risk factors, or exposure to cardiotoxic agents."

All of the patients whose data was included in the study underwent electrocardiography and echocardiography tests. Abnormal electrocardiography findings were recorded in 19 patients (83%): findings included ST-segment elevations, T-wave inversions, and nonspecific ST changes. Echocardiography in 4 patients (17%) demonstrated reduced left ventricular ejection fractions (40% to 50%).

The cardiac symptoms faded within a week of onset for 16 patients, while 7 others continued to have chest discomfort at the time of this report; follow-up is ongoing.

As one table from the study showed, the number of cases of heart inflammation reported in the military is much higher than the rate that one might expect given population-wide incidence of these symptoms. This suggests some new variable is likely causing the surge in cases.



The study's authors concluded that while the overall risk for patients who received an mRNA vaccine remains extremely small, the US isn't alone in discovering these cases. Israel, which also relied on mostly on mRNA vaccines to inoculate its population, is also seeing surprisingly high incidence of heart inflammation that's likely linked to the vaccines.

‘Mayhem’ as Sydney crowds defy lockdown advice to stay at home

Crowds of people have been caught thronging outdoors in Sydney in defiance of lockdown pleas to stay at home, with one venue reporting scenes of “mayhem”.

Crowds of people thronged outdoors in Sydney on Saturday, enjoying “lockdown” and ignoring pleas to stay at home as NSW struggles to contain the Covid-19 Delta strain spread.

At one venue, Sydney’s Centennial Park, a visitor told news.com.au it was “mayhem” with cars and crowds and that she had “never seen it so busy”.

Sydneysiders seemed to be at odds with NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s advice earlier this week to “Please stay at home unless absolutely necessary”.

She hammered home that message again in her Saturday morning press conference announcing 35 new virus cases in NSW, noting that while “the weather is great”, caution was needed.

“ … if you do want relief from your home today, if you have been staying at home and doing the right thing, please avoid shopping centres or indoor areas,” she said today.

“And if you are exercising with people who are not from your household, please make sure you keep that social distance and where you can, if you want to get exercise, please avoid shopping centres or indoor areas.”

But at Centennial Park, where the park’s centre was closed off, people crowded around the edges and customers crammed into the cafe without masks while failing to observe social distancing rules.

“It was busier than the Easter Show,” one park visitor, identified as Natasha, told news.com.au.

“Cars were honking horns, we were getting pushed off the footpaths and on to the horse track.

“It was crazy. I’ve never seen it like that before, even on school sports days.”
At Bondi, which has had more than 70 “venues of concern” listed by NSW Health, including 20 on the “close contacts” list, maskless people strode the promenade by the beach.

In Redfern Park, exercise groups were below the recommended number of ten only, but there were around half a dozen groups training within close quarters of one another.



At Double Bay, a personal training group appeared to have done exactly what Premier Berejiklian warned against: “If you are outdoors exercising in a group of ten, make sure the ten doesn’t become 20”.

Elsewhere in Sydney, including at Flemington Markets, people crowded in to do their Saturday morning shopping, while a news.com.au reader reported that at Darling Square, “every outdoor table and bench is full”, and that Sydney Park was “packed like a normal Saturday”.

On Twitter, some posters were calling the closures a “Clayton’s lockdown” or questioning why retail stores were still open and adding to the daily expansion of Covid-19 locations.

Locations at Bondi, North Bondi, Bondi Junction and Bondi Beach on the NSW Health list include 39 casual contact listings, six transmission venues of concern and several transport routes.



NSW Police have issued 78 infringement notices to people who have left home for unacceptable reasons, including tourists visiting the Jenolan Caves because they were “bored”.

On Friday, NSW chief health officer Dr Kerry Chant said the exposure sites were “shifting”.

“The message is, please don’t go out and about shopping in retail, in any setting, if you have got symptoms,” she said.

“It also highlights the importance, as people are moving around in shopping centres, please do assume that you are next to someone who may have covid and ensure you are wearing a mask at all times.”

IT’S HAPPENING: Army Tells Commands – Prepare for MANDATORY Vaccinations in September Despite Recent Adverse Effects

By Jim Hoft
Published July 4, 2021 at 8:05am

You knew this was coming.

They are going to push this on the young men and women in the US Army first — mandatory vaccines.

Whatever happened to “my body, my choice?”

And will someone please explain the science on vaccinating young healthy people who have next to zero chance of suffering severe complications from the virus?

This aggressive plan comes at the same time that myocarditis was identified in healthy military personnel within 4 days of receipt of a COVID-19 vaccine.

How is this happening?

The Army Times reported:

The US Army is going to demand vaccinations of
The Army has directed commands to prepare to administer mandatory COVID-19 vaccines as early as Sept. 1, pending full Food and Drug Administration licensure, Army Times has learned.

The directive came from an execute order sent to the force by Department of the Army Headquarters.

Army Times obtained a portion of a recent update to HQDA EXORD 225-21, COVID-19 Steady State Operations.

“Commanders will continue COVID-19 vaccination operations and prepare for a directive to mandate COVID-19 vaccination for service members [on or around] 01 September 2021, pending full FDA licensure,” the order said. “Commands will be prepared to provide a backbrief on servicemember vaccination status and way ahead for completion once the vaccine is mandated.”

French Government Considers Making COVID Vaccine Mandatory For Everyone Aged 24-59

SUNDAY, JUL 04, 2021 - 08:30 AM
Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,

The French government is considering making the COVID-19 vaccine mandatory for everyone aged 24-59 in response to concerns over a “fourth wave” of infections.



After Prime Minister Jean Castex announced that he would push for the compulsory vaccination of caregivers, the French Senate expressed their desire to expand the measure to cover young and middle-aged adults.

“The body published a report from its Common Mission of Information on Thursday, advocating for mandatory vaccinations of young to middle-aged adults on the grounds it could significantly lower hospitalization rates and deaths,” reports RT.

The report issued a stern warning: “act now to limit impact”.”

Mandatory vaccines are being pushed partly because the country is lagging behind other European countries in their rollout, with under a quarter of people aged 30-49 having been inoculated and only half of 50-64 year-olds receiving the jab.

The government is also considering sending doctors lists of people who haven’t taken the vaccine so they can be pressured into getting it, while the ability for the unvaccinated to submit negative COVID tests in order to be able to travel could also be withdrawn.

This isn’t the first time that France has considered imposing draconian measures to make people take the vaccine.

Back in December, a bill was proposed that would have banned unvaccinated people from being able to use basic services like public transport.

The proposed law mandated that citizens have proof of a negative COVID test or “preventative treatment, including the administration of a vaccine” in order to “access transport or to some locations, as well as certain activities.”

However, the legislation was dropped after fierce protests. One wonders if French people will have the same reaction to the prospect of mandatory vaccinations.

The COVID ‘Vaccines’ Could Soon Be Mandatory After Upcoming FDA Approvals

by Mac Slavo
July 4, 2021



The COVID-19 “vaccine” makers are now seeking full approval from the Food and Drug Administration. When (not if) that happens, businesses and schools and governments will be mandating the shot.

The companies behind two of the COVID-19 vaccines authorized for emergency use in the United States have applied to the Food and Drug Administration for full approval, which would allow them to market directly to consumers—and potentially boost confidence in the doses, according to a report by National Geographic. FDA approval could also lead more employers and schools to issue vaccine mandates.

On May 7, Pfizer and BioNTech became the first companies to apply for approval for their two-shot mRNA vaccine; Moderna, which also offers a two-dose mRNA vaccine, followed on June 1. These could be approved literally, any time now.

Convenient timing for dependence day. Once these “vaccines” are approved (and we know they will be) many companies will mandate that they be given to all employees as a condition of said employment. Schools would likely mandate them as well and all government workers would also likely be forced to take the shot or lose their job.

The New York Times, in an article titled “It’s Time for the F.D.A. to Fully Approve the mRNA Vaccines,” claims more “hesitant” people would line up if the FDA approves the jab.

Some people who understand that the “E” in “E.U.A.” stands for “emergency” are waiting for full F.D.A. approval before they receive a shot. Others may not get immunized unless their employers require it, and many organizations — including, reportedly, the military — are waiting for the vaccines to be fully approved before instituting such mandates. -The New York Times

The army has also reportedly already been told to prepare to administer the mandatory vaccines starting September 1.

The Army has directed commands to prepare to administer mandatory COVID-19 vaccines as early as Sept. 1, pending full Food and Drug Administration licensure, Army Times has learned.

“Commanders will continue COVID-19 vaccination operations and prepare for a directive to mandate COVID-19 vaccination for service members [on or around] 01 September 2021, pending full FDA licensure,” the order said.

“Commands will be prepared to provide a backbrief on servicemember vaccination status and way ahead for completion once the vaccine is mandated.” -Army Times
That means, based on all of the information available, that full approval will happen sometime this summer. Once that does happen, we had better be prepared. If you don’t want to take this shot even after it’s been fully approved, you had better at least be moderately prepared. Especially because we do not know yet exactly what the purpose of this shot is. All we have is speculation based on individual accounts and connecting the dots.

The media won’t tell us the truth and neither will any ruler, red or blue makes no difference at this point. Keep your critical thinking skills sharp and stay alert. We will most likely see FDA approval in the next 8 weeks and mandatory vaccines really being pushed in the fall.

Happy dependence day, slaves. The rulers have decreed we will all take the shot. The illusion of freedom is long gone. It’s time to face reality. Government is slavery and we are delusional if we believe otherwise.

Rep. Massie: Members of Voluntary Military Say They’ll Quit if Vaccines Are Mandated – 24 Lawmakers Sign on to Anti-Mandatory Vaccine Bill

By Jim Hoft

The US all-voluntary Army announced this weekend that they will force all members of the military branch to take the mandatory COVID vaccine.

This is despite the recent adverse effects reported by military men and women.



On Saturday Kentucky lawmaker Thomas Massie announced he will introduce HR 3860 that will prohibit COVID vaccines from becoming mandatory in the US military.

Massie already has 24 co-sponsors on his bill.



Obviously, the sheeple were not happy with Rep. Massie’s legislation.

Pfizer vaccine efficacy appears to drop to 64% in Israel amid rampant spread of Indian Delta variant while US officials maintain it is still highly effective
By Mansur Shaheen For Dailymail.Com
Published: 17:17 EDT, 5 July 2021 | Updated: 17:17 EDT, 5 July 2021

• Israel has experienced a 5,900% increase in cases over in under 40 days after a month of single digit cases
• Vaccinated adults account for around half of cases in the country, with majority having received Pfizer vaccine
• Pfizer vaccine believed to be 64 percent effective against the Delta variant, less than the 95% figure against other strains
• Other vaccine manufacturer's in the United States believe that their vaccines are effective against the variant

Cases of coronavirus in Israel are rising despite widespread vaccination, indicating the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine may only be 64 percent effective against the Delta variant of the virus.

The country is currently experiencing a large surge in COVID cases, including among the vaccinated.

On May 30, Israel reached its lowest case total of the pandemic, with only five new cases.

The Middle Eastern nation is now recording around 300 cases a day - a staggering 5,900 percent increase.

Israel's national expert panel on COVID-19 reported Monday that half of cases are among vaccinated adults, and they believe the Delta variant - which originated in India - is responsible.

The troubling figures emerged as the Delta variant has strengthened its hold in the United States, prompting fears of another surge.

California, the largest state in the country by population, reported Monday that the Delta variant is now their dominant strain - accounting for 36 percent of cases last month.

Nevada, Arkansas and Missouri are also dealing with large swells of cases, mostly of the Delta variant.

US health officials have maintained that the Pfizer vaccine is believed to be able to protect against the Delta variant and have yet to offer an official response to the trend in Israel.

'To some extent that could be expected since 85 percent of Israeli adults are vaccinated,' said Ran Balicer, chairman of the panel.

'But the rates in which we see these breakthrough cases make some believe they extend beyond that expected point and suggest some decrease in vaccine effectiveness against mild illness - but not severe illness - is likely.'

The Delta variant - which is more contagious than other known virus variants - has swept across the world in recent weeks.

Most of people have been vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine, making experts worry it was have deficiencies in combatting the variant.

The vaccine was believed to be 94 percent effective at preventing cases of the coronavirus before the recent outbreak.

Balicer says it is too early to panic, or make any snap judgements about the efficacy of the vaccine, though.

'[It's] too early to precisely assess vaccine effectiveness against the variant,' he said.

The Delta variant was largely responsible for the massive case surge in India over spring, and caused over 200,000 deaths in the country so far this year.

It has since spread elsewhere, and will likely be the world's dominant strain in the near future.

The United Kingdom is another victim to the variant.

From the start of June to early July, cases in the country have increased from 3,300 a day on average to 24,000 on average - a 627 percent increase.

English health officials believe that over 90 percent of active cases in the country are of the Delta variant.

Johnson & Johnson announced on July 1 that their one-shot vaccine has shown in clinical trials that it is effective against the Delta variant.

'We believe that our vaccine offers durable protection against COVID-19 and elicits neutralizing activity against the Delta variant. This adds to the robust body of clinical data supporting our single-shot vaccine's ability to protect against multiple variants of concern,' said Dr Paul Stoffels vice chairman of the Executive Committee and Chief Scientific Officer at Johnson & Johnson.

Moderna, which manufactures a two-shot mRNA vaccine similar to Pfizer's, announced last week that they believe their vaccine is effective against the variant as well.

'As we seek to defeat the pandemic, it is imperative that we are proactive as the virus evolves. We remain committed to studying emerging variants, generating data and sharing it as it becomes available,' said Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel

'These new data are encouraging and reinforce our belief that the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine should remain protective against newly detected variants.'

Lambda Variant's "Unusual" Mutations May Make It Resistant To Vaccines, Researchers Fear(monger)

TUESDAY, JUL 06, 2021 - 01:00 PM
Authored by Isabel van Brugen via The Epoch Times,

Scientists are concerned that a newly labeled COVID-19 variant, first detected in Peru, may be resistant to COVID-19 vaccines due to “unusual” mutations.



The Lambda variant, also known as C.37, is believed to have first emerged in Peru in August last year, but has only been recognized as a potential global threat in recent weeks, with the World Health Organization (WHO) declaring it a variant of interest on June 17 after it appeared in several countries simultaneously.

The WHO said the variant’s “neutralizing antibodies” could increase its transmissibility or potentially increase its resistance. It was “associated with substantive rates of community transmission in multiple countries,” it said.
In Peru, the Lambda strain now accounts for 82 percent of new infections. Meanwhile Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico, have all confirmed widespread cases of the variant.

WHO virologist Jairo Mendez-Rico told DW that although the strain may exhibit higher infection rates, there is no indication that it is more aggressive.
Mendez-Rico told the outlet that more data is needed to compare the newly labeled strain to other existing strains such as gamma (P.1) and delta (B.1.617.2), which have already been categorized by the WHO as variants of concern.

Jeff Barrett, director of the COVID-19 Genomics Initiative at the Wellcome Sanger Institute in the UK, told the Financial Times that it is challenging to “make sense of the threat from Lambda, using computational and lab data” because it has “rather an unusual set of mutations, compared with other variants.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, no cases of the Lambda strain have been recorded in the United States so far.

Researchers from the University of Chile in Santiago said in a study published in a preprint last week that the variant has “a considerable potential to become a variant of concern.”

“Our data show for the first time that mutations present in the spike protein of the Lambda variant confer escape to neutralizing antibodies and increased infectivity,” wrote researchers in the paper that has yet to be peer-reviewed.

Click to expand...

“Considering that this variant has rapidly spread in Peru, Ecuador, Chile, and Argentina, we believe that Lambda has a considerable potential to become a variant of concern,” they wrote.

The WHO said that further studies are needed to “validate the continued effectiveness of vaccines” with the Lambda strain.

Who is the "we" she is referring too, who will be doing the door by door?

The Great Big 'Delta' Scariant

TUESDAY, JUL 06, 2021 - 05:00 AM
Authored by Raul Ilargi Meijer via The Automatic Earth blog,

Why the Delta scare?
As a virus mutates, it becomes more contagious and less lethal. And then eventually it mostly disappears. Many voices claim that Delta will be with us for a very long time, but we should be so lucky. It’s way more likely that it will soon be followed by a next variant that will in turn become dominant. And more contagious and less lethal.

\

And no, that’s not because of unvaccinated people, or at least there’s no logic in that. If most people are not vaccinated, the virus has no reason to mutate. If many people are, it does. So this CNN piece is suspect. Vaccinated people are potential variant factories, just as much, if and when the vaccines used don’t stop them from being infectious, as the present vaccines don’t, far as we know.

Unvaccinated People Are “Variant Factories,” Infectious Diseases Expert

Unvaccinated people do more than merely risk their own health. They’re also a risk to everyone if they become infected with coronavirus, infectious disease specialists say. That’s because the only source of new coronavirus variants is the body of an infected person. “Unvaccinated people are potential variant factories,” Dr. William Schaffner, a professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, told CNN Friday. “The more unvaccinated people there are, the more opportunities for the virus to multiply,” Schaffner, a professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, said. “When it does, it mutates, and it could throw off a variant mutation that is even more serious down the road.”

Click to expand...

“Even more serious”? Well, yes, it can become more contagious, but then it loses lethality. Maybe that’s what we want. Maybe we want a virus that everyone can be infected by, and build resistance to, without serious consequences. Maybe that’s even what we should aim for. And also, maybe that’s what we already have, with survival rates of 99.99% among most people.

And maybe, just maybe, a one-dimensional “solution” in the shape of an experimental vaccine is the worst response of all. Because it doesn’t protect from anything other than more severe disease, while unleashing potential adverse effects for decades to come in the inoculated. Maybe one dimension simply doesn’t cut it. Maybe we should not refuse to prevent people from becoming infected, or to treat them in the early stages of the disease.

Maybe the traumatic effects of lockdowns and facemasks should be part of “benefits and risks” models. And maybe we should start trying vitamin D, ivermectin and HCQ on a very large scale. No research, you say? There’s more research for those approaches than for the vaccines. But it’s largely been halted in the west to maintain the viability of the one-dimension “solution”; the medical Siamese twin of the Trusted News Initiative, one might say. Of which The Atlantic is also a valued member, look at this gem:

The 3 Simple Rules That Underscore the Danger of Delta

2. The variants are pummeling unvaccinated people.
Vaccinated people are safer than ever despite the variants. But unvaccinated people are in more danger than ever because of the variants. Even though they’ll gain some protection from the immunity of others, they also tend to cluster socially and geographically, seeding outbreaks even within highly vaccinated communities.

Click to expand...

The U.K., where half the population is fully vaccinated, “can be a cautionary tale,” Hanage told me. Since Delta’s ascendancy, the country’s cases have increased sixfold. Long-COVID cases will likely follow. Hospitalizations have almost doubled. That’s not a sign that the vaccines are failing. It is a sign that even highly vaccinated countries host plenty of vulnerable people.

Click to expand...

[..] And new variants are still emerging. Lambda, the latest to be recognized by the WHO, is dominant in Peru and spreading rapidly in South America. Many nations that excelled at protecting their citizens are now facing a triple threat: They controlled COVID-19 so well that they have little natural immunity; they don’t have access to vaccines; and they’re besieged by Delta.

Click to expand...

First, the vaccines don’t confer immunity on the jabbed, there is no evidence of that. Second, a large majority of healthy people have an immune system strong enough to fight off the infection, even without ever being infected. So to suggest that unvaccinated people might “gain some protection from the immunity of” the vaccinated is simply nonsense.

As for “Delta’s ascendancy”, yes, cases are rising in the UK and Israel, two highly vaccinated countries. Not that anyone would acknowledge a possible connection there: it’s all despite the vaccines, not because of them. But as the graph below shows, while cases there are up a lot, hospitalization and deaths are not over the past month. They barely register.

On January 20, the UK had 1,823 deaths. Today, they had 15.



I even enlarged the hospitalizations a bit, or you wouldn’t see anything.



“Hospitalizations have almost doubled”, says The Atlantic. Yeah, but they’re still very low, as are deaths. And perhaps that’s not all that surprising, because the Delta variant doesn’t appear to be the big killer that everyone wants to close their borders and restaurants for again. There’s no conclusive evidence, it’s too early, but this is what we know today.

Rand Paul Cites 0.08% Delta Variant Death Rate Among Unvaccinated

Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul is telling Twitter followers to not let the ‘fearmongers’ win, amid growing concerns about the newest delta variant of the coronavirus. Paul, who is a doctor with a degree in medicine from Duke University, cited a study of the strain that shows only a 0.08% death rate among unvaccinated people. “Don’t let the fearmongers win. New public England study of delta variant shows 44 deaths out of 53,822 (.08%) in unvaccinated group. Hmmm,” he tweeted Tuesday to his 3.2 million followers. The variant, which has caused virus outbreaks in Australia and other countries, has resulted in officials reimposing recently lifted health-safety orders including mask-wearing.

In another graph, the Delta variant Case Fatality Rate in the UK even appears 8 times higher among the fully vaccinated than the unvaccinated. Maybe the press should pay a little more attention to that, instead of the Great Big Delta Scare. All they do today is sell fear and vaccines, but that will backfire, promise.



And what goes for the press is also valid for politicians and their “experts”: there will come a day that people realize you could have focused on prophylactics and early treatment, but chose not to. And that this cost a lot of lives and other misery. What are you going to do then? Apologize?

Let’s not miss this from the past week: strong immune systems kill the virus before antibodies are formed. Which means an antibody test won’t show anything, but a PCR test will come back positive because there are dead virus bits. And everyone will cry: vaccinate! vaccinate!

Maybe it’s finally time for some real science, instead of clickbait and fear and gene therapy.

Pre-existing polymerase-specific T cells expand in abortive seronegative SARS-CoV-2 infection

Individuals with likely exposure to the highly infectious SARS-CoV-2 do not necessarily develop PCR or antibody positivity, suggesting some may clear sub-clinical infection before seroconversion. T cells can contribute to the rapid clearance of SARS-CoV-2 and other coronavirus infections1–5 . We hypothesised that pre-existing memory T cell responses, with cross-protective potential against SARS-CoV-26–12, would expand in vivo to mediate rapid viral control, potentially aborting infection.

We studied T cells against the replication transcription complex (RTC) of SARS-CoV-2 since this is transcribed first in the viral life cycle13–15 and should be highly conserved. We measured SARS-CoV-2-reactive T cells in a cohort of intensively monitored healthcare workers (HCW) who remained repeatedly negative by PCR, antibody binding, and neutralisation for SARS-CoV-2 (exposed seronegative, ES).

16-weeks postrecruitment, ES had memory T cells that were stronger and more multispecific than an unexposed pre-pandemic cohort, and more frequently directed against the RTC than the structural protein-dominated responses seen post-detectable infection (matched concurrent cohort). The postulate that HCW with the strongest RTC-specific T cells had an abortive infection was supported by a low-level increase in IFI27 transcript, a robust early innate signature of SARS-CoV-2 infection16.

We showed that the RNA-polymerase within RTC was the largest region of high sequence conservation across human seasonal coronaviruses (HCoV) and was preferentially targeted by T cells from UK and Singapore pre-pandemic cohorts and from ES. RTC epitope-specific T cells capable of cross-recognising HCoV variants were identified in ES.

Longitudinal samples from ES and an additional validation cohort, showed pre-existing RNA-polymerase-specific T cells expanded in vivo following SARS-CoV-2 exposure, becoming enriched in the memory response of those with abortive compared to overt infection. In summary, we provide evidence of abortive seronegative SARS-CoV-2 infection with expansion of cross-reactive RTC-specific T cells, highlighting these highly conserved proteins as targets for future vaccines against endemic and emerging Coronaviridae.

Doctor warns: Too early to know if COVID shots cause infertility

Follows legal team's suggestion that vaccines not be mandatory

A doctor, the chief of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, is warning that it's too early to know whether the COVID shots are causing infertility, but it's too early to know they're not.

The warning from Dr. Jane Orient, M.D., follows a separate warning from a top-level legal team from just days earlier that universities should not mandate the vaccines for a number of reasons, including that they could kill students.

Orient has now explained, "If your faith forbids sterilization, or your respect for human rights forbids involuntary sterilization, then you need to consider the risk of infertility from COVID jabs. We do NOT know that the COVID jab will cause infertility. But we also do not and cannot know that it doesn’t. There simply has not been enough time to see."

She said that various institutions have begun demanding that thousands of young people "choose between taking the jab or putting their educational plans or careers on hold. How much risk can we ethically take, or coerce others to accept—whether the risk is of infertility, miscarriage, disability, chronic disease, or death?"

It was the legal team at William J. Olson, P.C. that earlier dispatched letters to the chiefs of colleges and universities across Virginia suggesting – strongly – that they withdraw their demands for students to take the experimental COVID vaccines.

"Before your students are harmed or killed," warns the letter, which was sent on behalf of the Center for Medical Freedom, Health Freedom Virginia, Virginia Coalition for Medical Freedom, CNU Parent Covid-19 Mandate Concerns, University Parents for Informed Consent, Students for Medical Freedom, Virginia Tech Freedom of Choice, JMU Freedom of Choice Parents, Virginia Freedom Keepers, The Virginia Project, America's Future and Students for America.

"There are many thousands of students who have been planning to attend Virginia colleges and universities this fall, but who refuse to yield to mandates that they first participate in unmonitored experimental genetic therapy by taking the COVID-19 vaccines," the letter explains. "You institution's policy of putting these students, and their parents, in an untenable situation, where they must choose between accepting the significant risk of bodily injury, possible lifelong disability, or death or continue their education at your institution."

Now Orient has explained that that letter outlined the ethical and legal issues.
"The letter also requests a commitment to assume financial liability for death, disability, or illness of students being required to take the COVID-19 inoculation.

While manufacturers are immune from product liability, those who coerce students or employees to receive it might not be," she wrote.

"Investigations that might inform us about the reproductive risks have not been done (or reported). More than 700 post-injection miscarriages have been reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Where are the pathological examinations of the placentas? Were there spike-proteins in the blood vessels, and inflammation that cut off oxygen or nutrients to the baby? We don’t know. An NEJM article that concluded there were no safety signals had no information on the placentas."

However, her to-the-point questions include, "Was there damage to the reproductive organs of the nearly 7,000 persons who died post injection? The first (only?) autopsy report, of an 86-year-old man, published in June, did not address this. "

The earlier warning signals she cited include:

_"Nanoparticles are meant to be distributed widely, and do accumulate in ovaries, testes, and uterus. What happens to the lipid nanoparticles that enclose the genetic material in the mRNA vaccines?"

_"College students are probably delaying marriage and family until educational or career goals are achieved. So, they might not discover infertility for years."

_"Once injected, the genetically engineered materials cannot be removed. We do not know how long the mRNA or the spike proteins it codes for will remain in the tissues."

_"Risks and benefits need be considered for different age groups. Persons past reproductive years have a higher risk of disease; younger persons seldom get seriously ill with COVID. A one-size-fits-all mandate is without justification."

Her warning was that the shots involve not only an individual's spiritual, parental and career advisers, but there is a potential impact "on all future generations."

The legal team's letter pointed out the federal government has refused to adopt "draconian" shot mandates, and the military also has declined to take that step.

It noted the links between vaccinations and myocarditis and confirmed America's VAERS system, which documents complications and side effects of treatments, had gotten 326,239 event reports for "a range of adverse events."

Some 5,000 of those situations resulted in death.

Further, shots are unnecessary because of "the availability of successful treatments," the letter said, citing Ivermectin, which was found to obliterate 97% of the cases in a Delhi study.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: Americans are ‘over’ coronavirus pandemic, do not care about delta variant

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Georgia Republican, said American voters are through dealing with the coronavirus and do not care about the dangerous new delta variant causing new cases of COVID-19.

“No one cares about the Delta Variant or any other variant,” Ms. Greene tweeted Monday.

“They are over covid & there is no amount of fear based screaming from the media that will ever force Americans to shut down again,” she tweeted. “All voters are over covid.”

Ms. Greene, a first-year congresswoman, made the remarks as public health officials raise concerns about the highly contagious delta strain hindering efforts to end the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Discovered in India in December 2020, the delta strain is several times more transmissible than the coronavirus that emerged out of China a year earlier and first triggered the global COVID-19 outbreak.

Vaccinations developed to prevent severe cases of COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the virus, “seem to be doing quite well even against the delta variant,” Dr. Anthony Fauci said last week.

“If you’re vaccinated, you’re in reasonably good shape, in fact, quite good shape,” Dr. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and President Biden’s top medical adviser, told PBS.

“If you’re not vaccinated, you’re at significant risk,” however, he added.
Nearly six in 10 U.S. adults are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Among the unvaccinated, many remain hesitant to receive one.

More than 600,000 people in the U.S. have died from COVID-19 since early 2020. Dr. Fauci said Monday that 99.2 percent of domestic coronavirus-related deaths last month involved unvaccinated people.

“It’s really sad and tragic that most all of these are avoidable and preventable,” Dr. Fauci told NBC.

Ms. Greene, a former gym owner, has been among the loudest critics in Congress of measures to slow the spread of COVID-19, such as requiring that unvaccinated people wear face masks while indoors.

She is also among several Republican members of Congress to receive fines for not covering their faces on the House floor in violation of rules put in place by Democratic leadership.

“Forced masks and vaccines will cause Dems to lose big,” Ms. Greene said in the series of Twitter posts Monday.
