“The Drug Does Not Appear to Qualify for Release” – EXCLUSIVE: Post Office Holds Woman’s Foreign Shipment of Ivermectin at the Request of the FDA
By Jim Hoft
Published January 9, 2022 at 7:07pm
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Customs and Border officials captured two small packages of Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport recently. The two drugs would not have raised an eyebrow before the COVID pandemic. But since the Democrats and media politicized the completely safe, inexpensive, and effective medications the Customs agents are on the lookout for these cheap drugs. Meanwhile, Mexican cartels continue to smuggle record amounts of fentanyl into the country this year.
Now, a Gateway Pundit reader has received a letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding a shipment containing Ivermectin that she bought from a foreign country is being held by the post office.
Here’s the excerpt from the email:
The shipment contains 1 Ziverdo Kit: Kit of Zinc Acetate Tablets, Doxycycline Capsules Ip & Ivermectin Dispersible Tablets and 2 Covimectin-12 Ivermectin Tablets.
According to the letter, the items mentioned above are subject to refusal of admission into the United States because they do not appear to be in compliance with the requirements of the law as indicated below:
Ziverdo Kit: Kit of Zinc Acetate Tablets, Doxycycline Capsules Ip & Ivermectin Dispersible Tablets
UNAPPROVED NEW DRUG – The article is subject to refusal of admission pursuant to Section 801 (a)(3) in that it appears to be a new drug within the meaning of Section 201 (p) without an approved New Drug Application (NDA).
Covimectin-12 Ivermectin Tablets
MISBRANDING – The article has been determined to lack adequate directions for use. The drug is available in the US; therefore is
is not permitted for personal importation.
The letter stated that IVERMECTIN is an unapproved drug and does not appear to qualify for release.
“The policy is intended to make available, through the exercise of enforcement discretion, unapproved drugs used to treat serious medical conditions for which no equivalent treatment exists in the United States, and unapproved drugs used to continue treatment begun in a foreign country. This drug does not appear to qualify for release. All products of this kind must meet the requirements of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act or other laws enforced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. These laws are designed to protect you from, among other things, unsafe or misrepresented foods, drugs, biologics, cosmetics, devices, and other articles.”
Here’s a copy of the letter from the FDA:
Despite all the stories, testimonies, and studies showing Ivermectin as effective early treatment of COVID-19, the Food and Drug Administration has refused to authorize the drugs — that have been saving lives for decades– for Covid treatment, claiming, “Ivermectin has not been shown to be safe and effective for these indications.”
Yet, more people have died and suffered adverse side effects from Covid vaccines than any other vaccine in recorded history, data from the Center for Disease Control’s underreported VAERS report confirms.

This sounds promising. But no MRNA, no big pharma - Fauci and co aren't going to be interested - I see only uphill battles for these people unfortunately. Which is too bad for those who would consider a vaccine if it was the old fashioned type.

A Texas team comes up with a COVID vaccine that could be a global game changer
Joe Palco
January 5, 202212:47 PM ET
A vaccine authorized in December for use in India may help solve one of the most vexing problems in global public health: How to supply lower-income countries with a COVID-19 vaccine that is safe, effective and affordable.
The vaccine is called CORBEVAX. It uses old but proven vaccine technology and can be manufactured far more easily than most, if not all, of the COVID-19 vaccines in use today.
"CORBEVAX is a game changer," says Dr. Keith Martin, executive director of the Consortium of Universities for Global Health in Washington, D.C. "It's going to enable countries around the world, particularly low-income countries, to be able to produce these vaccines and distribute them in a way that's going to affordable, effective and safe."
The story of CORBEVAX begins some two decades ago. Peter Hotez and Maria Elena Bottazzi were medical researchers at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., where they worked on vaccines and treatments for what are called neglected tropical diseases, such as schistosomiasis and hookworm.
When a strain of coronavirus known as SARS broke out in 2003, they decided to tackle that disease. After moving to Houston to affiliate with Baylor College of Medicine and the Texas Children's Center for Vaccine Development, they created a vaccine candidate using protein subunit technology. This involves using proteins from a virus or bacterium that can induce an immune response but not cause disease.
"It's the same technology as the hepatitis B vaccine that's been around for decades," Hotez says.
Their SARS vaccine candidate looked promising, but then the SARS outbreak petered out. No evidence of disease, no need for a vaccine.
When a new strain of coronavirus triggered the COVID-19 pandemic, Hotez and Bottazzi figured they could dust off their old technology and modify it for use against COVID-19. After all, the virus causing COVID-19 and the virus causing SARS are quite similar.
Hotez says they tried to interest government officials in the vaccine, but they weren't impressed.
"People were so fixated on innovation that nobody thought, 'Hey, maybe we could use a low-cost, durable, easy-breezy vaccine that can vaccinate the whole world,' " Hotez says.
"We really honestly couldn't get any traction in the U.S., but our mission is always to enable technologies for low- and middle-income countries production and use," Bottazzi recalls.
So they turned to private philanthropies. A major donor early on was the JPB Foundation in New York.
"The rest were all Texas philanthropies: the Kleberg Foundation, the [John S.] Dunn Foundation, Tito's Vodka," Hotez says. The MD Anderson Foundation also chipped in.
"When people say, 'Why did we move [from Washington, D.C.] to Texas?' Well, we knew that this was a great philanthropic environment. So this is really very much a Texas vaccine," although there were other, smaller donors from all over the country.
Hotez says that unlike the mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, and the viral vector vaccine from Johnson & Johnson, protein subunit vaccines like CORBEVAX have a track record. So he and Bottazzi were relatively certain CORBEVAX would be safe and effective.
"And it's cheap, a dollar, dollar fifty a dose," Hotez says. "You're not going to get less expensive than that."
Clinical trials showed they were right to be confident CORBEVAX would work. An unpublished study conducted in India involving 3,000 volunteers found the vaccine to be 90% effective in preventing disease cause by the original COVID-19 virus strain and 80% against the delta variant. It's still being tested against omicron.
But CORBEVAX is already entering the real world. Last month, the vaccine received emergency use authorization from regulators in India. An Indian vaccine manufacturer called Biological E Ltd is now making the vaccine. The company says it is producing 100 million doses per month and has already sold 300 million doses to the Indian government.
"The real beauty of the CORBEVAX vaccine that Drs. Hotez and Bottazzi created is that intellectual property of this vaccine will be available to everybody," Keith Martin says. "So you can get manufacturers in Senegal, and South Africa and Latin America to be able to produce this particular vaccine."
By contrast, the makers of Pfizer and Moderna, for example, are not sharing their recipe.
One drawback to the CORBEVAX technology is that it can't be modified as quickly as mRNA vaccines can to adjust to new variants.
That forces public health officials to make difficult choices.
"Something which can be adapted the fastest versus something that can be adapted relatively quickly, but then more importantly can be manufactured at a large global capacity and at a cost of production which is much lower," says Prashant Yadav, senior fellow at at the Center for Global Development in Washington, D.C. The thought is some protection may better than no protection.
Of course, the ideal vaccine would have both qualities, and Hotez is at work trying to develop technologies that can do that.
"There's no issue with pushing innovation," he says. "I think that's one of the really positive features of the U.S. vaccination program for COVID. The problem was it wasn't balanced with a portfolio or oldies but goodies."
Hotez is hoping his oldie but goodie will usher in a brighter future for the world.

Biden Admin Cuts Florida's Weekly Monoclonal Shipment In Half
SUNDAY, JAN 09, 2022 - 12:30 PM
Authored by Jannis Falkenstern via The Epoch Times,
The federal government slashed in half the number of doses of the monoclonal antibodies therapy shipped to Florida from 30,000 to 15,000 this week, according to Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).
DeSantis said the 15,000 dozen received would be “immediately utilized to support new monoclonal antibody sites.”
The governor said that before the Biden administration “seized control of the monoclonal supply” Florida was administering 30,000 doses per week to infected patients. The treatment saved “countless lives,” he said.
The Epoch Times reported Jan. 3 that the U.S. Health and Human Services Administration had relaxed its policies on limiting the monoclonal antibody drugs paving the way for Florida to receive 30,000 treatments. The plan for those doses was to set up new treatment centers in high-need areas throughout south and central Florida.
DeSantis alleged the limits the HHS had set for Florida were “political.”
“The federal government has cornered the entire market of monoclonal,” he said in a press conference on Jan. 3.
“We’ve got the infrastructure in place. It’s just a matter of the federal government giving us more doses … for the Floridians who need it.”
The governor asked the state legislature to set aside almost $1 billion to aid in fighting COVID-19 and making monoclonal antibodies available to “every Floridian who needed it.”
But because the federal government has a contractual agreement with the makers of the monoclonal antibody treatments, it has “locked out” anyone else from buying the product, the governor said.
“We will rapidly deploy the 15,000 doses that we now have secured,” he said.
“The Biden Administration commandeered the supply and distribution of monoclonal antibodies following Florida’s successful deployment of the treatment last summer and drastically cut shipments of the treatments to the state.”

The announcement of the shortfall in monoclonal antibody treatments comes one day after the governor made remarks about the Jan. 6 anniversary and how “corporate media” and Washington would celebrate the day as “their Christmas.”
“They are going to take this and milk this for anything they could to try to be able to smear Donald Trump,” he told reporters on Jan. 6.
Requests from the governor’s office on why they think Florida was shortchanged on the treatment drug were not answered by press time.

California Folds; Says Asymptomatic COVID-Positive Health Workers Can Get Back To Work Amid Shortages
SUNDAY, JAN 09, 2022 - 10:00 PM
Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times,
The California Department of Public Health issued guidance that allows health care networks to enable COVID-19-positive employees to keep working if they don’t show any symptoms.
The Epoch Times has contacted the agency for comment.
Health care workers in the state now don’t have to isolate or show a negative COVID-19 test, the guidance said, before coming back to work if they are asymptomatic. The guidance, which remains in effect until Feb. 1, stipulates that staff wear N95 respirator masks while on the job.
After the guidance was handed down, several unions that represent nurses and other hospital staff expressed alarm.
Schoonover added that while his union supports “supplemental paid sick leave,” the latest guidance imperils a “critical piece of the protection that workers and the public need.”
The president of the California Nurses Association, Sandy Reding, told local media that the California health department’s guidance will put patients at risk.
Union officials did not mention the rampant staffing issues that have plagued hospitals across the United States and California in recent days.
Mandates that were put into effect last year by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, required health care workers to get COVID-19 vaccines or face termination—despite studies showing that natural immunity conferred by a previous COVID-19 infection shows lasting immunity to the virus. Critics of vaccine mandates have questioned why governments and businesses would impose vaccinate or fire policies for “essential workers”—such as nurses and doctors—in the midst of staff shortages during a viral pandemic.
Health giant Kaiser Permanente suspended more than 2,000 employees who were not vaccinated in October. Other California systems such as Santa Clara Valley Medical Center and Sutter Health also terminated or suspended their employees who weren’t vaccinated in the fall of 2021.
Meanwhile, Dr. George Rutherford, professor of Epidemiology at the University of California San Francisco, told KNTV that the guidance revision isn’t anything new.
It comes days after the Newsom administration mandated that booster shots be given to certain health care staffers by Feb. 1. On Friday, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, issued said she would issue a directive for all health care workers in the state if signed off by a public health advocacy board.

Massive 145-Country Study Shows Sharp INCREASE of Transmission and DEATH After Introduction of COVID Vaccines
By Julian Conradson
Published January 9, 2022 at 9:17pm
Instead of bringing an end to this pandemic as promised, the widespread rollout of the experimental vaccines has actually caused a sharp increase in Covid-19 cases and deaths across the world, according to a recently published preprint study that looked at data from the 145 of the most vaccinated countries in the world.
The 99-page study titled “Worldwide Bayesian Causal Impact Analysis of Vaccine Administration on Deaths and Cases Associated with COVID-19: A BigData Analysis of 145 Countries” found that in the US specifically, the jab has caused a whopping 38% more Covid cases per million – and an even more astonishing 31% increase in deaths per million.
In total, researchers found that almost 90% (89.84%) of the 145 countries experienced this negative effect from the vaccines after they were made available.
From the study:
Researchers performed a causal analysis comparing both pre- and post-treatment periods to come up with the difference in cases and deaths since the implementation of the vaccine by analyzing publicly available COVID-19 data to determine the effect of their widespread rollout. After eliminating all results from countries with low vaccination rates or incomplete data, there were 128 countries with sufficient data on deaths (y1) and 103 countries to examine total cases (y2), which comprised a total of 145 unique countries.
Perhaps the most telling part of the study’s results is that the countries which recorded the fewest Covid deaths in 2020 were the ones to experience the largest increases in cases and deaths once the vaccine was introduced, with some of them seeing increases as high as over a thousand percent.
In the study’s conclusion, researchers warned that the substantial increase in deaths and cases should be “highly worrisome” for the policymakers around the world who have been promoting the experimental vaccines as the “key to gain back our freedoms.”
In short, this is just the latest evidence that we have been lied to throughout the entire manufactured pandemic.
These experimental, rushed vaccines have done nothing but make things worse and have only spurred the transmission of new variants that have prevented the world from putting this virus in the rearview mirror.
Several studies have come to similar conclusions as this one, with two recently coming out that confirmed essentially the same thing – these vaccines actually are causing more illness than they prevent.

It Is Time to Face Reality About the “Vaccines”
by Vinay Prasad
January 9, 2022
A number of studies are converging on the fact that 2 doses of vaccination has poor vaccine effectiveness against Omicron. 3 doses does slightly better, but the effect will rapidly wane as antibody titers fall, and infection is certain as the number of exposures increase.
These studies have immediate implications for vaccine and health-care policies.
First, Kaiser Southern California. Here are data for 2 doses of mRNA for effectiveness against Omicron. Follow the red line. Over time, it is 0%.
3 doses does better, for now. But look at the confidence interval of the red line. We have no idea if it will be preserved.
Now, let’s turn to the Province of Ontario, vaccine effectiveness 2 dose or 3 dose is in the toilet; Note the y axis, and broad confidence interval post dose 3. Here dose 3 would fail to meet the FDA standard of at least 50% VE, with lower bound CI >30%— the standard for EUA.
Now let us examine Denmark; here are the raw probabilities of secondary attack in a household.
Putting these 3 studies together: what is the conclusion? Two doses of vaccine does nothing or almost nothing to stop symptomatic sars-cov-2. Three doses barely does anything, and the effect will likely attenuate over time. Finally, as the number of exposures increase from 2 to 22 to 202, the cumulative probability of infection will approach 1.
NOTE: This is not an argument about the benefits of vaccination for the individual— vaccines likely (and evidence shows they) still have great protection against severe disease; instead this is an argument about the effects of vaccination on symptomatic diseases, and (some good portion of) transmission.
Conclusion: you cannot contain the viral spread of omicron by boosting.
The moment we see that, the policy conclusions start to fall into place.
Booster mandates make no sense for young people/ working people/ hospitals/ anywhere. Young people will only be, at best, slightly less likely to spread for a short period of time, but the epidemic waves will eventually over take them.
Boosting should happen in populations where it further reduces severe disease and death— aka older and vulnerable people. Focus on that and let college kids off the hook.
Some argue there is still a justification to boost because you can help prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed. Sadly, that argument fails in several ways.
First, you have no evidence boosting younger people will slow hospitalizations.
A vaccinated younger person already has very low risk of being hospitalized.
Boosting may not further lower what is already very low. We simply have no evidence. Event rates are sparse at those ages.
Second, this argument would mean the state could tell people what to eat and how much to exercise, and how much to drink. Food, drink and obesity are drivers of hospitalizations. Instead, we have not accepted these infringements in the past. The justification for vaccine mandates is that it helps curb population spread. The latest vaccine effectiveness figures show that effect is now nearly gone, and transient at best. Ergo, the mandates are unjustified.
Firing nurses and other health care workers for being non-compliant with mandates is now defeating. We are better off having them work. Time to bring them back.
Draconian avoidance of omicron is not tenable. Omicron or a future variant will eventually find us all. It may even be preferable to encounter omicron a few weeks or months after your last vaccine than a year or two later, as the infection may be milder. As I explain in a prior post, wearing an n95 makes no sense.
It is time to face reality.

Thousands Rally in Prague Against Vaccination Mandate
'Prague's protest followed similar but smaller demonstrations in several Czech cities on Saturday...'

(Headline USA) Thousands of people marched through the Czech Republic’s capital this weekend to protest against compulsory COVID-19 vaccination for certain groups and professions.
The protesters gathered at Wenceslas Square in central Prague, questioning the effectiveness of the current vaccines and reject the vaccination of children before marching through the capital, chanting “Freedom, freedom.”
Prague’s protest followed similar but smaller demonstrations in several Czech cities on Saturday.
The previous government released an order in early December, making vaccination mandatory for the 60 and over age group, as well as medical personnel, police officers, firefighters and medical students.
The order is due to take effect in March, but it still might end up being overturned.
Prime Minister Andrej Babis’ administration was replaced later in December by a new government formed by five parties that won October’s parliamentary election, led by Prime Minister Petr Fiala.
The new administration opposed a vaccination mandate for older people and was ready to cancel it, but didn’t rule out it might still be compulsory for some, depending on the development of the pandemic. The government should announce its decision about it by the middle of February.
The omicron variant of the coronavirus was expected by health authorities to become dominant in the country next week.
In the nation of 10.7 million, 6.7 million are considered fully vaccinated, while over 2.8 million have received a booster shot.

Authoritarian Austria: 40,000 Protest in Vienna as ‘Corona Apartheid’ Continues
133
FLORIAN WIESER/APA/AFP via Getty Images
PETER CADDLE9 Jan 202294
Around 40,000 people took the streets of Vienna on Saturday to protest COVID-19 restrictions in Austria, as a system of “Corona Apartheid” continues to operate in the EU country.
The German-speaking nation — which is still threatening to implement mandatory vaccination for the entirety of its population — is currently restricting the movements and activities of its unvaccinated population in a way previously described as a system of “Corona Apartheid“.
While being described as mostly peaceful by Kronen Zeitung, a number of demonstrators were arrested on suspicion of resisting police, according to the paper.
There were also reports of firecrackers being thrown into the crowd of protesters, with the mood at the rally reportedly being quite tense.
Interior Minister Gerhard Karner commended the police for having “once again proven their professionalism” and that their “consistent intervention against violent criminals” showed “what great challenges the police have to overcome in the context of such demonstrations.”
“Above all, the different field of participants — families with children, but also soccer hooligans and identities marching next to each other — demands top performance from the officers,” Karner continued.
A further demonstration is to be held in Innsbruck on Sunday, with speeches from a number of senior members of the Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs, or Freedom Party of Austria.
Unvaccinated individuals in Austria are currently under rolling lockdowns, which the government has promised to keep going indefinitely ahead of plans to make vaccination against the Chinese coronavirus mandatory.
As a result, Austria’s unjabbed face the future possibility of hefty fines and possible prison time should they remain unvaccinated.
The government’s plans to implement a vaccine mandate are suddenly experiencing significant difficulties, however.
While so-called “broad” controls will come into force as planned in early February, the use of the national vaccination register will not be legally possible until after April 1st as a result of apparent miscommunication on the part of the government.
Other measures the government planned to implement cannot be implemented at all, according to a Kronen Zeitung report, including the expansion of the nation’s central patient index “to include people who are registered in Austria but do not have a social security number”.
While the country’s Health Minister has defended the government’s actions regarding the botched measures, one top politician in the country has suggested that it may be time to rethink the mandate entirely.
“What if the Constitutional Court said in one year that it was unconstitutional?
That would be a disaster,” said the governor of the Austrian state of Burgenland, Hans Peter Doskozil, adding that “ultimately this form of compulsory vaccination polarizes further and leads to division.”
The governor went on to suggest a system of chargeable PCR tests for unvaccinated individuals be put in place instead of mandatory vaccination.
“I would rather have an indirect vaccination requirement, in which PCR tests for unvaccinated people are subject to a fee,” Doskozil said.
“The money that comes in would have to flow into the health system for a specific purpose.”

Authoritarian Austria: 40,000 Protest in Vienna as ‘Corona Apartheid’ Continues

Around 40,000 people took the streets of Vienna on Saturday to protest COVID-19 restrictions in Austria, as a system of “Corona Apartheid” continues to operate in the EU country.
The German-speaking nation — which is still threatening to implement mandatory vaccination for the entirety of its population — is currently restricting the movements and activities of its unvaccinated population in a way previously described as a system of “Corona Apartheid“.
While being described as mostly peaceful by Kronen Zeitung, a number of demonstrators were arrested on suspicion of resisting police, according to the paper.
There were also reports of firecrackers being thrown into the crowd of protesters, with the mood at the rally reportedly being quite tense.
Interior Minister Gerhard Karner commended the police for having “once again proven their professionalism” and that their “consistent intervention against violent criminals” showed “what great challenges the police have to overcome in the context of such demonstrations.”

Can Mouthwash Kill the Coronavirus?
By Penn State
January 9, 2022 Updated: January 9, 2022
Certain oral antiseptics and mouthwashes may offer a way to inactivate human coronavirus, according to a new study.
The findings indicate that some of these products might help reduce the viral load, or amount of virus, in the mouth after infection and may help reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
Researchers tested several oral and nasopharyngeal rinses in a laboratory setting for their ability to inactivate human coronaviruses, which are similar in structure to SARS-CoV-2. The products evaluated included a 1% solution of baby shampoo, a neti pot, peroxide sore-mouth cleansers, and mouthwashes.

The researchers found that several of the nasal and oral rinses had a strong ability to neutralize human coronavirus, which suggests that these products may have the potential to reduce the amount of virus spread by people who are COVID-19-positive.
“The products we tested are readily available and often already part of people’s daily routines,” says Craig Meyers, professor of microbiology and immunology and obstetrics and gynecology at Penn State.
Meyers and colleagues used a test to replicate the interaction of the virus in the nasal and oral cavities—major points of entry and transmission for human coronaviruses—in the rinses and mouthwashes.
They treated solutions containing a strain of human coronavirus, which served as a readily available and genetically similar alternative for SARS-CoV-2, with the baby shampoo solutions, various peroxide antiseptic rinses, and various brands of mouthwash.
They allowed the solutions to interact with the virus for 30 seconds, one minute, and two minutes, before diluting the solutions to prevent further virus inactivation. The outer envelopes of the human coronavirus tested and SARS-CoV-2 are genetically similar, Meyers says, so the research team hypothesizes that exposure to the solution may inactivate a similar amount of SARS-CoV-2.
To measure how much virus was inactivated, the researchers placed the diluted solutions in contact with cultured human cells. They counted how many cells remained alive after a few days of exposure to the viral solution and used that number to calculate the amount of human coronavirus that was inactivated as a result of exposure to the mouthwash or oral rinse that was tested.
The 1% baby shampoo solution, often used by head and neck doctors to rinse the sinuses, inactivated greater than 99.9% of human coronavirus after a two-minute contact time.
Several of the mouthwash and gargle products also were effective at inactivating the infectious virus. Many inactivated greater than 99.9% of virus after only 30 seconds of contact time and some inactivated 99.99% of the virus after 30 seconds.
The results with mouthwashes are promising and add to the findings of a study showing that certain types of oral rinses could inactivate SARS-CoV-2 in similar experimental conditions, Meyers says.
In addition to evaluating the solutions at longer contact times, the researchers studied over-the-counter products and nasal rinses not evaluated in the other study. As a next step to expand on their results, the researchers will design and conduct clinical trials that evaluate whether products like mouthwashes can effectively reduce viral load in COVID-19-positive patients, Meyers says.
“People who test positive for COVID-19 and return home to quarantine may possibly transmit the virus to those they live with,” says Meyers, a researcher at Penn State Cancer Institute.
“Certain professions including dentists and other health care workers are at a constant risk of exposure. Clinical trials are needed to determine if these products can reduce the amount of virus COVID-positive patients or those with high-risk occupations may spread while talking, coughing, or sneezing. Even if the use of these solutions could reduce transmission by 50%, it would have a major impact.”
Future studies may include a continued investigation of products that inactive human coronaviruses and what specific ingredients in the solutions tested inactivate the virus.

It Worked: Over 100,000 French Protest Vax Pass After Macron Vowed to ‘Piss Off’ Unvaxed

Over 100,000 took to the streets on Saturday to protest France’s impending vaccine pass regime days after President Macron said he wanted to “piss off” the unjabbed.
Macron seems to have succeeded in his desire to “piss off” a segment of the French population, with over 100,000 turning up to demonstrations across France in protest of the President’s incoming regime of vaccine passes.
The new measures, which were approved by the French National Assembly earlier in the week, will see the unvaccinated and those without recently acquired natural immunity barred from pubs and restaurants, as well as a host of other venues.
According to a report by Le Monde, French police counted around 18,000 demonstrators in Paris alone, with large turnouts in places such as Montpellier and Toulouse.
Florian Philippot, head of the eurosceptic Les Patriotes party, spoke to those gathered, saying that he was waiting for “the government to give up, to withdraw this crazy law”, as well as for Macron to apologise for the “filthy and divisive remarks he made”.
Also at the rally was the head of the French police association Policiers en Colère, Bruno Attal, who said that officers within the organisation had no intention of “pissing off” parts of the population who may be targetted by restrictions.
“We are here to piss off thugs and delinquents, not citizens who have become ‘sub-citizens'”, Attal said.
Organisers claim that over 400,000 French turned out to protests across the country on Saturday, though they emphasised that their headcount was done independently of the government’s Ministry of the Interior, whose estimate of 100,000 people is supposedly the “only precise and real count”.
France’s regime of vaccine passes was originally due to commence on January 15th, but that date will likely be moved back after the government experienced a number of setbacks due to controversy surrounding legislation corresponding to the measure.
A bill that would bring the measures into force was delayed multiple times in the French National Assembly, with debate on the legislation having been postponed twice due to issues raised by sceptical representatives.
This intense controversy was only heightened after an interview emerged earlier in the week describing President Emmanuel Macron as saying that he wished to “piss off” unvaccinated people in France.
“Me, I’m not for pissing off the French,” the president reportedly said. “But as for the unvaccinated, I really want to piss them off.”
Macron went on to describe how the government wanted to “up pressure” on the unjabbed in the country by limiting their social activities, lambasting the “the immense moral fault of antivax”.
“When [the individual’s] freedom threatens the freedom of others, [the individual is] irresponsible,” Macron said, asserting that “An irresponsible person is no longer a citizen”.
Despite this controversy, however, the bill eventually passed in the assembly with a comfortable margin of 214 to 93, with just 27 abstaining from the vote.
The legislation surrounding the vaccination pass is to be debated by the French Senate this coming Monday.

Nearly 700 Days Into ‘2 Weeks to Flatten the Curve’ and the Only Thing That’s Reduced Is Your Freedom
by Matt Agorist
January 9, 2022
in Opinions
Editor’s Note: At first glance, the headline will likely strike many of our readers as, “duh.” Generally those who read our articles or listen to our shows are extremely well aware of the draconian nature of practically all decisions being made about Covid in the United States and around the world. I chose to publish it anyway after reading it because I realized something. We all know the overarching issues, but Matt’s article breaks it down concisely into separate components of the same master plan. In short, this is well worth the read even if only as a reminder of the various angles from which we’re being attacked.
On March 16, 2020, the Trump administration released a 15-day plan to slow the spread of the coronavirus in the US. That was 663 days ago. We are now nearly two years, 2 presidents, 6 trillion dollars, and countless stolen rights into slowing the spread.
Over the last two years, one of the largest power grabs in the history of the world has taken place as fearful citizens willingly surrendered their rights to the state for the promise of safety. But that safety never came and it never will.
What did come, however, was a slew of arbitrary and often ridiculous mandates and decrees from politicians who think that government force can stop a pandemic. Despite the economically devastating draconian lockdowns that killed countless small businesses, vaccine passports, and mask mandates, COVID-19 returned — with a vengeance.
One of the most heavily vaccinated places on the planet, with the strictest vaccine mandates in the country, New York City, accounted for nearly 10% of all cases in the U.S. But that is not all. Even as states across the country continue to close schools, force citizens to wear masks and fire people for refusing the jab, the U.S. set a record for the highest daily case count in the entire world — at 1 million.
As TFTP has reported, we predicted this. Several studies have shown that the lockdowns were not effective at stopping the virus. In June, we reported on the study from the National Bureau of Economic Research which analyzed data from 44 countries and all 50 states. The study from the NBER found that these restrictions not only failed to save lives, and greatly exacerbated the destruction of the working class — but have in fact resulted in an increase of excess mortality. At the end of the day, they cost more lives than they saved.
Also in June, TFTP covered the findings of an MIT scientist who reported a data analysis of the economic impact of the lockdown — noting that whilst it played a key contributing role to the sharp rise of unemployment, it did not make a significant reduction in deaths.
And on June 22, a Harvard University study reiterated the fact that while this policy did not save lives it decimated the economy; while modern robber barons such as Zuckerberg, Gates, and Bezos saw their portfolios expand exponentially.
This was yet another report, as TFTP’s Don Via Jr. pointed out, that much like the aforementioned, did not receive national headlines from the corporate media.
While many folks, including those in government, have begun to open their eyes to the data and realize that locking people in their homes, shutting down society, and forcibly medicating people against their will does not stop Covid, others are still pressing on.
Despite experts, world wide, weighing in on the harms of school closures and masking children, bureaucrats across the country are beating that dead horse.
Countries across Europe, with the highest vaccination rates in the world, are now going into yet another round of lockdowns as cases hit record numbers.
The floundering bureaucracy is seemingly unconcerned with actual science and continues to implement policies which have had no effect on slowing the virus: masks, jabs, and lockdowns.
Now, after their policies have failed, they need someone to blame. Predictably, they have ramped up the scapegoating of the unvaccinated. The virus is spreading, were are told, including widely throughout the vaccinated population, because of the unvaccinated — who are now dirty “non-citizens.”
On Tuesday, French President Macron gave an interview to the La Parisien, in which he dehumanized the unvaccinated and urged other citizens to hate them, likening them to their “worst enemies.”
“I am not about pissing off the French people,” Macron told the readers of Le Parisien. “But as for the non-vaccinated, I really want to piss them off. And we will continue to do this, to the end. This is the strategy.”
He declared that “worst enemies” of “democracy” are “lies and stupidity,” then declared that his government is “putting pressure on the unvaccinated by limiting, as much as possible, their access to activities in social life.”
Canadian PM Trudeau followed suit the following day and told the citizens of Canada that they need to be “angry” at the unvaccinated for spreading covid, using his pulpit to dehumanize and threaten people for their personal medical choices.
Not wanting to be left out, President Biden also spoke up, once again falsely claiming that we are in a pandemic of the unvaccinated and telling vaccinated people that there is nothing to worry about — despite the recent surge in hospitalizations among the vaccinated population. But then again, it is likely the fault of the people who didn’t take the shot.
“You can still get COVID, but it’s highly unlikely that you’ll become seriously ill,’’ Biden said. “If you’re vaccinated and boosted, you are highly protected. Be concerned about omicron, but don’t be alarmed. And if you’re unvaccinated, you have some reasons to be alarmed. You’ll experience severe illness in many cases.’’
Biden then went on to encourage children to stay away from the unvaccinated, further stoking hatred, fear, and divide.
This mass dehumanization by the establishment against people for their personal medical choices cannot be ignored or understated. This is the type of rhetoric that always lead to a two-tiered society in which the dehumanized sect suffers immensely under the authoritarians. Indeed, this mass suffering has already begun in many parts of the world.
This is why anti-lockdown protesters have taken to the streets across the planet to protest the lockdown tyrants. And how do the lockdown tyrants respond?
They impose more restrictions. Clearly we can no longer rely on them to make decisions which benefit freedom and liberty.
It is time Americans and the rest of the world realize that freedom is not some commodity to be traded in exchange for our obedience. Freedom, true freedom, is inalienable. It’s time we act that way.

CDC Finally Admits 75 Percent of COVID Deaths Happen in Patients "With at least Four or More Comorbidities" - The Last Refuge
2 minutes
This issue has always been at the heart of the internal data that was never turned over for review. For two years people have wanted to know the distinction and general health position of the people who were categorized as dying from COVID. What was their previous health status?
For reasons that can only be reconciled by admitting it was purposeful to their objectives, the CDC never released any information showing the background health status of those who were categorized as dying from COVID. However, recently the CDC said they were going to assemble those various subsets of key data for the public.
On January 7th, only being discussed today, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky made the admission on a CBS morning broadcast that 75% of those who are classified as dying from COVID had at least four underlying pre-conditions: “over 75 percent had at least four comorbidities, so really these are people who were unwell to begin with”… WATCH:
.
Meanwhile, this same institution is pushing another set of booster jabs upon healthy people with no preconditions. Madness !
Obviously, all of these recent admissions are because the politics of COVID has become a liability to the same people who were exploiting it. The reality of COVID is now harder to hide… the narrative must adapt accordingly.

The U.S. is investing in a $102 million dollar biosecurity lab to study some of the most deadly pathogens that could potentially by used in bioterrorism attacks. Rather than locating the new facility in Washington, D.C., or some secure tract of land in Nevada, however, the lab will be built near Almaty, a Soviet-era outpost in Kazakhstan, National Geographic reports.
The unassumingly-named Central Reference Laboratory is slotted to open in 2015 and will securely store and study highest risk diseases such as plague, anthrax and cholera. Having contained samples of those pathogens readily available will speed the process of diagnosing and treating potential outbreaks, NatGeo writes.
The U.S. also hopes the facility will get scientists in that region of the world off the streets, so to speak. Giving gainful employment to talented researchers in the region may make them less likely to sell their services to groups who want to create biological weapons, a source form the United States Defense Threat Reduction Agency told NatGeo.
The Agency has just under two dozen offices and facilities scattered around the world to keep an eye out for would-be biological weapons, including in Georgia (the Caucasus rather than deep South one), Armenia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and Russia. Before the USSR broke up, the Soviets were known to have weaponized plague and were tinkering with other potential biological weapons, though what became of those deadly cultures remains unclear.
As such, biological weapons expert Raymond Zilinskas told NatGeo, “There’s a real biosecurity threat in countries of the former Soviet Union, and the Russian government is remarkably uncooperative in this area.”

Georgia State University is now a de facto research outpost for China’s military
Do U.S. government and U.S. university officials have a death wish for the America people?
Lanying Du has an extensive, over 15-year history of collaborative research with scientists from China’s People’s Liberation Army and was a key figure in the experiments on coronaviruses leading up to the creation of COVID-19.
Lanying Du is now fully funded by Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and a faculty member at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Georgia State University, which houses one of the country’s few high containment Biosafety Level-4 laboratories for experiments using the world’s most deadly viruses.
Lanying Du is the widow of Yusen Zhou from the People’s Liberation Army’s State Key Laboratory of Pathogen and Biosecurity in Beijing, who was a long-time coronavirus research collaborator with Shibo Jiang.
Shibo Jiang brought Lanying Du to the United States, acted as her mentor and eventually turned over leadership of his Lindsley F. Kimball Research Institute laboratory to her.
Shibo Jiang’s connections with China’s People’s Liberation Army have been exhaustively detailed in Gateway Pundit articles, here, here and here.
Briefly, Shibo Jiang obtained his MS and MD degrees from the People’s Liberation Army’s First Military Medical University and the Fourth Military Medical University, respectively.
During his over 20 years working in the United States, Shibo Jiang developed an extensive network of collaborative research with other U.S. virus research laboratories and received more than $17 million in U.S. research grants, the vast majority coming from Anthony Fauci’s NIAID.
During that entire period, Shibo Jiang actively collaborated with People’s Liberation Army laboratories, while simultaneously inviting into his U.S. laboratory and training scientists linked to the Chinese military.
The 2016 scientific article shown below, clearly illustrates Lanying Du’s links to Shibo Jiang, Yusen Zhou and other scientists from the People’s Liberation Army’s State Key Laboratory of Pathogen and Biosecurity in Beijing, in particular, Wanbo Tai.
It also demonstrates the U.S. institutional links to China’s military, namely, the Lindsley F. Kimball Research Institute in New York, the University of Minnesota and the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, which is the home of the Department of Defense-funded Center for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases, housing another Biosafety Level-4 high containment facility for research on dangerous viruses.
Chinese military infiltration of the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston is described in Gateway Pundit articles here, here and here.
Even as recently as November 19, 2021, Lanying Du of Georgia State University continued her research collaboration with Wanbo Tai, who has been an employee of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army’s Academy of Military Medical Sciences.
Lanying Du may not be the only China-trained scientist at Georgia State University with links to China’s military.
Huang Zhen, a tenured professor at Georgia State University (2004-2020), was selected by the Chinese Communist Party to be a member of China’s Thousand Talents Program. He is currently employed by Sichuan University in China and is the chief scientist of Sichuan Junke Life Science Group Co., Ltd., which has published links to the Chinese military.
Like Lanying Du, Baozhong Wang was trained in China and is now a faculty member at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Georgia State University.
Because Chinese scientists working in the United States often hide their affiliations with China’s military, it is unclear if the Chao Wang and Yuan Luo, who worked in Baozhong Wang’s laboratory, are those employed by the People’s Liberation Army’s State Key Laboratory of Toxicology and Medical Countermeasures, Academy of Military Medical Sciences in Beijing.
What is clear, however, is that U.S. university laboratories have opened their doors to China’s military and no one in the U.S. government is challenging it.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported medical professionals across the country have discriminated against white patients for COVID monoclonal antibody treatments.
This isn’t by accident, this is the policy of the Biden regime — to discriminate against COVID patients due to their race or ethnicity.
It’s not supposed to work that way in America – but here we are.

Dr. Robert Malone joined Steve Bannon on The War Room to discuss the latest viral outbreak in China. The communist regime is hiding the nature and spread of this latest disease.
This has many experts worried including Dr. Malone who is the inventor of the mRNA vaccines. Dr. Malone today told the War Room audience that he is hearing the current disease that is spreading across China is reportedly an “Ebola-like hemorrhagic fever virus.” The regime is hiding the true nature of this disease from the public and from the global community — Just like last time!
Today there are 5.5 million people dead (and counting) from the last China pandemic.
Now we could be talking about an “Ebola-like hemorrhagic fever virus.”
Dr. Malone: “They are using language that this is a hemorrhagic fever virus. If that’s the case then it would be very odd that this would be something caused by the Coronavirus. That terminology is usually used for viruses in the family of Ebola. So this is something that many people have feared is the development of a rapidly spreading Ebola-like hemorrhagic fever virus. But we have not knowledge of whether that is going on here or not.”

Mass Formation: Deployed on You After Over 200 Years of Study
Junior academics cited by "Forbes", AP, Reuters and "The Independent" have not done their homework
Robert Malone MD, MS Jan 10
Today in “factchecking the factcheckers”, junior academics cited by Forbes, Associated Press, Reuters and The Independenthave just not done their homework concerning the work of Professor Dr. Mattias Desmet of the University of Ghent in Belgum. All I can say about this is that I hope that their naive, ignorant, grandstanding statements to the press are brought up during their future Academic Tenure and Advancement reviews.
But there has been an amazingly coordinated effort to shoot the messenger and actively character assassinate (or “defenstrate”) me as a surrogate while avoiding any reference to the highly credentialed academic Professor Dr. Mattias Desmet who actually developed the theory and has documented the extensive evidence in an upcoming academic book. So, what can we learn from this in the short term?
Clearly, Google was not the only corporation triggered by Joe Rogan podcast # 1757 which previously reached #1 podcast ranking worldwide, has been referred to as “the most important interview of our time” and has been seen by over 50 million viewers. But what absolutely has been generated by all of the coopted reactionary press and Big Tech titans metaphorically tripping over their shoelaces is a massive trove of real time data validating the brilliant Mass Formation intellectual synthesis developed by Professor Desmet over the last two years.
In this coordinated propaganda and censorship response, we can clearly see the hands of the BBC-led Trusted News Initiative, the Scientific Technological Elite, the transnational investment funds and their World Economic Forum allies which control Pfizer and most of Big Pharma, Legacy Media and Big Tech (and many national governments) acting in real time to suppress a growing awareness by the general public of having been actively manipulated using crowd psychology tools to generate clinically significant fear and anxiety of COVID-19 (otherwise known as “Coronaphobia”) to advance their agendas on a global scale. Multiple governments have now admitted to actively using fear and 'Mass Formation'-related theories as a tool for totalitarian population control during this outbreak. This is occurring at the same time that Omicron is destroying the legitimacy of government and WHO propaganda concerning the “Safe and Effective” mRNA vaccines and associated mandates.
But what confuses me is why the western press is all following the same narrative as Forbes, which is now owned by a Chinese media holding company. Is this all really just about China wanting to advance a New World Order agenda, and working in a coordinated fashion together with captured western legacy media and their transnational fund overlords?
Break out the popcorn, because we have an “approved narrative” dumpster fire in progress.

Mass Formation – brief summary
• Totalitarianism requires the total obedience of the mass
• This obedience is been created via mass formation process inside the population
• Four conditions are needed:
•No matter how stupid, senseless or even harmful the “solution”, people are made to feel solidarity, which validates the whole thing for them
• They are now changed, no longer rational. This automatically excludes analyses based on mathematical approaches like Nash’s game theory, where all agents are assumed to act completely rationally.
• People who are consumed by the mass formation process become intolerant and cruel.
Development of mathematical models to describe this process are currently in progress in a collaboration between Professor Desmet and Dr. rer. nat. habil. Norbert Schwarzer. This work is building upon prior academic modeling work including the following volumes:

Experts are now casting doubt on the new ‘Deltacron’ strain discovered by a researcher in Cyprus.
Over the weekend it was reported Leondios Kostrikis, professor of biological sciences at the University of Cyprus, has discovered a new strain of Covid that combines Omicron and Delta dubbed “Deltacron,” according to Bloomberg News.
“There are currently omicron and delta co-infections and we found this strain that is a combination of these two,” Kostrikis said in an interview with Sigma TV Friday.
Now the so-called experts are saying the ‘Deltacron’ variant is likely due to a lab error.
CNBC reported:
“Flurona” is likely fake too.

Shaoxing Shows Horrors of China's Zero COVID Policy
BY BLUEAPPLES
MONDAY, JAN 10, 2022 - 13:44
Despite being the origin of SARS-COV-2, China has been able to evade inquisition into the role the CCP has played in the development of the virus itself as well as the scope of its effects on the insulated nation. The integral importance of verifiable data on everything from infections to the efficacy of vaccines and other COVID response efforts from China has been callously overlooked by global NGO's like the WHO as well as from diplomatic inquisition levied by other nation's. China's track record of offering manipulated and inaccurate statistics is nothing new, as this has been especially proven regarding by delving into the economic data it provides to the world. With that track record of dishonesty, the tacit acceptance of China's narrative on its response to COVID-19 demonstrates the illusion it has been able to cast across the world.
The emergence of videos from Shaoxing, Zheijiang Province lifts the veil on this deception. The city of nearly 5 million reveals the horrific enforcement of China's zero COVID program. Shaoxing now hosts the largest COVID quarantine facilities to have been uncovered. The camp has a reported capacity of 5,500 who would be detained. The current occupancy rate of the facility has yet to be discovered, the horrific conditions its prisoners will be subject to has.
While the extent of the development of other camps has been obfuscated by media control, scenes in Shaoxing clearly convey the accelerated development of quarantine infrastructure in China. Video evidence that has managed to emerge details additional camps, apparently in other locations, which show the horrific conditions that prisoners are subjected to.
.26 min
The existence of quarantine camps is one of numerous instances of supposed "conspiracy theories" which has been factually proven. Even in nations like Australia, efforts to develop quarantine camps have been undertaken incontrovertably. While the difference in the conditions of Australia's facilities is clear, the authoritarian direction of its pandemic response demonstrates the extent that the continuity of those operations can lead to.
.09 min
.14 min
Inevitably, China will tout its zero COVID policy to a global audience, acting as if it is the framework for an effective pandemic response. Without acknowledging its horrors, iterations of its authoritarian design are sure to be applied in other countries across the world. With variant after variant providing justification for new policy measures, revealing the horrors scene in Shaoxing and elsewhere in China must be done to keep government's around the world from putting heir citizens on this trajectory.

Abstract and Figures
Policy makers and mainstream news anchors have promised the public that the COVID-19 vaccine rollout worldwide would reduce symptoms, and thereby cases and deaths associated with COVID-19. While this vaccine rollout is still in progress, there is a large amount of public data available that permits an analysis of the effect of the vaccine rollout on COVID-19 related cases and deaths. Has this public policy treatment produced the desired effect? One manner to respond to this question can begin by implementing a Bayesian causal analysis comparing both pre- and post-treatment periods. This study analyzed publicly available COVID-19 data from OWID utlizing the R package CausalImpact to determine the causal effect of the administration of vaccines on two dependent variables that have been measured cumulatively throughout the pandemic: total deaths per million (y1) and total cases per million (y2). After eliminating all results from countries with p > 0.05, there were 128 countries for y1 and 103 countries for y2 to analyze in this fashion, comprising 145 unique countries in total (avg. p < 0.004). Results indicate that the treatment (vaccine administration) has a strong and statistically significant propensity to causally increase the values in either y1 or y2 over and above what would have been expected with no treatment. y1 showed an increase/decrease ratio of (+115/-13), which means 89.84% of statistically significant countries showed an increase in total deaths per million associated with COVID-19 due directly to the causal impact of treatment initiation. y2 showed an increase/decrease ratio of (+105/-16) which means 86.78% of statistically significant countries showed an increase in total cases per million of COVID-19 due directly to the causal impact of treatment initiation. Causal impacts of the treatment on y1 ranges from -19% to +19015% with an average causal impact of +463.13%. Causal impacts of the treatment on y2 ranges from -46% to +12240% with an average causal impact of +260.88%. Hypothesis 1 Null can be rejected for a large majority of countries. This study subsequently performed correlational analyses on the causal impact results, whose effect variables can be represented as y1.E and y2.E respectively, with the independent numeric variables of: days elapsed since vaccine rollout began (n1), total vaccination doses per hundred (n2), total vaccine brands/types in use (n3) and the independent categorical variables continent (c1), country (c2), vaccine variety (c3). All categorical variables showed statistically significant (avg. p: < 0.001) postive Wilcoxon signed rank values (y1.E V:[c1 3.04; c2: 8.35; c3: 7.22] and y2.E V:[c1 3.04; c2: 8.33; c3: 7.19]). This demonstrates that the distribution of y1.E and y2.E was non-uniform among categories. The Spearman correlation between n2 and y2.E was the only numerical variable that showed statistically significant results (y2.E ~ n2: rho: 0.34 CI95%[0.14, 0.51], p: 4.91e-04). This low positive correlation signifies that countries with higher vaccination rates do not have lower values for y2.E, slightly the opposite in fact. Still, the specifics of the reasons behind these differences between countries, continents, and vaccine types is inconclusive and should be studied further as more data become available. Hypothesis 2 Null can be rejected for c1, c2, c3 and n2 and cannot be rejected for n1, and n3. The statistically significant and overwhelmingly positive causal impact after vaccine deployment on the dependent variables total deaths and total cases per million should be highly worrisome for policy makers. They indicate a marked increase in both COVID-19 related cases and death due directly to a vaccine deployment that was originally sold to the public as the “key to gain back our freedoms.” The effect of vaccines on total cases per million and its low positive association with total vaccinations per hundred signifies a limited impact of vaccines on lowering COVID-19 associated cases. These results should encourage local policy makers to make policy decisions based on data, not narrative, and based on local conditions, not global or national mandates. These results should also encourage policy makers to begin looking for other avenues out of the pandemic aside from mass vaccination campaigns. Some variables that could be included in future analyses might include vaccine lot by country, the degree of prevalence of previous antibodies against SARS-CoV or SARS-CoV-2 in the population before vaccine administration begins, and the Causal Impact of ivermectin on the same variables used in this study.
