Part 2 of 2


Will We Finally Get a More Accurate Death Count?
The CDC also appears poised to change the definition of COVID death to what it should have been all along. Childers notes:
“Fox News … Bret Baier … asked [Walensky] ‘how many of the 836,000 deaths in the U.S. linked to COVID are FROM COVID or how many are WITH COVID?’
Director Walensky said … ‘those data will be forthcoming.’ Until about 10 minutes ago, the CDC said it didn’t HAVE any way to track that kind of information … But now, apparently, CDC plans to release information about deaths from and with. What do you want to bet they’ll be REDUCING total COVID deaths shortly? By a lot.”
They’re also starting to accurately count only those who are actually sick with COVID rather than including people hospitalized for other reasons who just happen to test positive.
“Yesterday, New York Governor Hochul announced that almost HALF of patients are hospitalized for ‘non-COVID reasons,’ scattering the rotting corpse of the Narrative.
You might recall that just last week she ordered hospitals to start breaking down the reported figures and showing how many folks ACTUALLY are sick with COVID versus just testing positive in the hospital. We’ve been yelling about overcounting hospitalizations for two years now and they just noticed?”21
Same Narrative Switch Seen in Europe
The same sudden switch in narrative can be seen in Europe. Childers continues:22
“Yesterday, the Guardian UK ran a story headlined, ‘End mass jabs and live with COVID, says ex-head of vaccine taskforce.’ It says Dr. Clive Dix — former chairman of the UK’s vaccine taskforce — has called for a ‘major rethink’ of the UK’s COVID strategy, in effect reversing the approach of the past two years and returning to a ‘new normality.’
Shocking the cores the oft-maligned authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, Dr. Dix — without getting cancelled — said this:
‘We need to analyze whether we use the current booster campaign to ensure the vulnerable are protected, if this is seen to be necessary … Mass population-based vaccination in the UK should now end.’ Ending mass vaccinations? Suddenly that idea is okay to discuss in the corporate media? Wow.”
In a January 3, 2022, interview with the Daily Telegraph, professor Andrew Pollard, head of the U.K.’s Committee on Vaccination and Immunization who helped create the Oxford-AstraZeneca shot, also made a previously verboten statement: “We can’t vaccinate the planet every four or six months,” he said. “It’s not sustainable or affordable.”23 And, like Dix, Pollard was not canceled, censored or deplatformed.

January 11, 2022, Bloomberg also reported that “European Union regulators warned that frequent COVID-19 booster shots could adversely affect the immune response and may not be feasible. Repeat booster doses every four months could eventually weaken the immune response and tire out people, according to the European Medicines Agency.”24
Marco Cavaleri, the EMA’s head of vaccines strategy, said during a January 11, 2022, press briefing:25
“While use of additional boosters can be part of contingency plans, repeated vaccinations within short intervals would not represent a sustainable long-term strategy. [Boosters] can be done once, or maybe twice, but it’s not something that we can think should be repeated constantly. We need to think about how we can transition from the current pandemic setting to a more endemic setting.”
That same day, the World Health Organization’s Technical Advisory Group on COVID-19 Vaccine Composition (TAG-CO-VAC) also issued a statement26 saying that “a vaccination strategy based on repeated booster doses of the original vaccine composition is unlikely to be appropriate or sustainable.”

They also stated that COVID vaccines that actually prevent infection and transmission need to be developed. The timing of all these statements is nothing if not remarkable. It shows just how coordinated this plandemic narrative is, all around the world.

Justice Sotomayor Called Out
Perhaps the best example that the narrative is undergoing a radical overhaul, Childers says, is Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor being fact checked and called out as a liar by The Washington Post:
“You’ll recall that Sotomayor confidently told the lawyers during oral argument Friday that ‘100,000’ children were in critical care and on ventilators with Omicron. The lawyers didn’t challenge her even though there aren’t that many total ICU beds in the whole country.
But on Saturday — the next day! — the Washington Post ran an article headlined, ‘Sotomayor’s false claim that ‘over 100,000’ children are in ‘serious condition’ with COVID.’ FALSE CLAIM?? What?? Here’s how the fact-checking article ended:
‘It’s important for Supreme Court justices to make rulings based on correct data … But Sotomayor during an oral argument offered a figure — 100,000 children in ‘serious condition … many on ventilators’ — that is absurdly high. She earns Four Pinocchios.’ It might be unprecedented for a major liberal newspaper to call out a liberal Justice. What could be going on? …
There seems to be a LOT of sudden momentum surging in the direction of ending the pandemic. If I’m right, we’re going to see even more of this, and pretty quickly, since Biden has to wrap it up in time to declare victory on March 1. Which would explain why they pushed the SOTU back a month. They need the time to get the pandemic wrapped up.”27

HEARTBREAKING! Disabled Woman in Wheelchair ARRESTED by NYPD in Bubba Gump Shrimp for REFUSAL TO SHOW PROOF OF VACCINATION! VIDEOS, MUST Watch!! PLEASE HELP JULIE!!

By Cara Castronuova
Published January 18, 2022 at 3:51pm

An army of NYPD arrested a disabled woman in a wheelchair last night at “Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.” in Times Square for refusing to show proof of vaccination.

Julie M. being arrested by NYPD for refusal to show Vaccination Identification at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. in NYC

The restaurant called the NYPD when Julie and a group of unvaccinated guests arrived and asked to be served. The group were turned away from the restaurant. Julie and others refused to leave unless they were served with the same courtesy as the vaccinated guests.

“It feels dehumanizing to be medically discriminated against,” said Julie. “When they turn you away at the restaurants it just feels awful. I feel feel so isolated and ostracized from everybody else.”

Please see video of Julie’s arrest below:

“I believe in bodily autonomy for everybody and I want to fight for my rights for bodily autonomy and everybody else’s,” said Julie. “I am not afraid to get arrested, I am non-violent and I believe that non-violent civil disobedience can make a change.”

According to her GiveSendGo,
Julie is a NYC disabled resident, a very warm and beautiful person! More importantly, she is a very brave freedom fighter! On Monday, January 17, 2022 she was arrested by the NYPD for Criminal Trespass for not producing Proof of Vaccine while attempting to Dine Inside, with FRIGID TEMPERATURES outside!

Julie refuses to get the Covid Vaccination for a wealth of reasons, and does not believe she should be rejected from dining inside – especially in the United States of America!

Many in the New York City Freedom movement believe that Julie can be successful in winning a lawsuit against the city for medical discrimination.

“The city officials are afraid of Julie because she is the perfect plaintiff to sue the city and win,” said Tina Ryan of Citizens Against Political Persecution. “She already has a hard time gaining access to facilities because of her handicap, and now on top of that she has to deal with the extra discrimination of being told she cannot enter a single restaurant, gym, event venue or museum in the city. It is complete an utter isolation for the victims of these mandates. Julie is a stark example of how these insane mandates affect everyone’s lives and if she brings a lawsuit it can potentially benefit everybody affected by these unconstitutional mandates. Please donate to Julie’s fund and pray that she is successful for all of us.”

“Julie is a true American hero,” said Newsmax Host John Tabacco. “She is willing to sacrifice herself and get arrested to showcase the tyranny going on in New York City for the world to see. I am hopeful she brings a lawsuit that can potentially assist in saving us all.”

Thirteen others were also arrested at Bubba Gump’s alongside Julie.

Group of thirteen arrested last nigh at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. in Manhattan, NYC celebrating their release from jail.

They are members of a group of peaceful activists determined to change New York City. They have been sitting in at restaurants all over the city, asking for service without Vaccine Passports.

Multiple arrests have been made, including those at The Cheesecake Factory, Applebees, The Olive Garden, Burger King and others. We here at The Gateway Pundit were the first to report on The Cheesecake Factory Incident with exclusive footage and interviews- spawning the news to go viral around the world and in Mainstream Media.

NPR Busted Lying About Sotomayor and Gorsuch . . . By Sotomayor and Gorsuch

Fake News NPR Busted Lying About Sotomayor and Gorsuch . . . By Sotomayor and Gorsuch

By J.D. Rucker • Jan. 19, 2022

A bombshell report by NPR yesterday revealed that Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor refused to be in chambers with Justice Neil Gorsuch because he refused to wear a face mask.

The problem is the report was a lie, according to Sotomayor and Gorsuch.

1642628269645.png

The far-left Justice and center-right Justice have disagreements on the law and the Constitution, but they have worked well together since President Trump nominated Gorsuch as his first of three Supreme Court Justices. In fact, they have openly described each other as a friend. This contradiction about the reporting by NPR is a blow to the publication’s credibility, which has been fading in recent years after decades of increasingly progressive bias.

According to The Post Millennial:
The NPR story, written by Nina Totenberg, stated that court sources told the outlet that Sotomayor felt unsafe in close proximity with others, particularly those who are unmasked.
In response, Chief Justice John Roberts allegedly instructed the other judges and court staffers to mask up, with Gorsuch being the only one to go against the instructions.

“They all did. Except Gorsuch, who, as it happens, sits next to Sotomayor on the bench. His continued refusal since then has also meant that Sotomayor has not attended the justices’ weekly conference in person, joining instead by telephone,” wrote Totenberg, who goes on to state that Gorsuch’s repeated refusal to mask up has prompted Sotomayor to work remotely, out of the office.

Speaking with Fox News on Tuesday Night, network host and reporter Shannon Bream stated that a source at the Supreme Court said that there has been no such request from Roberts for judges to wear masks to arguments, and that no such request came from Sotomayor to Gorsuch either.

“A source at the Supreme Court says there has been no blanket admonition or request from Chief Justice Roberts that the other Justices begin wearing masks to arguments.

The source further stated Justice Sotomayor did not make any such request to Justice Gorsuch. I’m told, given that fact, there was also no refusal by Justice Gorsuch.” reported Bream. “The justices are all vaccinated and boosted and they do test before taking the bench for arguments.”
This isn’t the first time NPR has lied for political effect, and it won’t be the last. They have run their “public” news organization lose and fast for years in an effort to smear conservatives and promote the radical progressive agenda.

WHO Crushes Biden COVID Plan, Says "No Evidence At All" That Healthy Kids Needs 'Booster' Jabs

TUESDAY, JAN 18, 2022 - 08:30 PM

The Chief Scientist of the World Health Organization has just crushed what little credibility the Biden administration's COVID response team had by confirming what most parents' common-sense already told them - that there is no evidence that healthy children need booster doses of COVID-19 vaccine.



WHO Chief Scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan said Tuesday that "there is no evidence right now that healthy children or adolescents need boosters. No evidence at all."

Watch her full statement here: 57:25 min

View: https://youtu.be/oIa0hAimtfU


Swaminathan's comments come roughly two weeks after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) approved booster shots for adolescents aged 12 to 17 amid the current surge in coronavirus cases due to the highly contagious omicron variant.

Israel has begun offering boosters to children as young as 12, Hungary has also done so, and Germany became the latest country to recommend that all children between ages of 12 and 17 receive a COVID-19 booster shot.

Swaminathan said the agency’s advisory group, called Sage, or the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization, will meet later this week to consider how countries should think about giving booster shots.



The initial jabs have proven ineffective and dangerous, contrary to the insistence of politicians, big money media, and college administrators.

The case for boosters of more-of-the-same across many schools and college campuses has now become ludicrous.

In fact, very recently, two Ivy League parents Joni McGary and Dr. Alison Pretti have decided up to stand-up to colleges determined to impose the experimental vaccine booster jab on students. Watch:

Science is now on their side (well WHO "science" that is).

However, we are sure Fauci, Walensky, and Biden will be full-court-press tomorrow to continue to pressure parents to get their kids (enter 'whisper mode') patriotically boosted... because of the science (as long as it's not the WHO Chief Scientist's "science".)

We give none other than Rand Paul the last word, since he has been among the most outspoken against Fauci's (and Birx's before him) so-called "science"...

A good question Senator Paul.

‘Vaccine Passports are no longer relevant’


Professor Cyrille Cohen is head of Immunology at Bar Ilan University and a senior member of the advisory committee for Vaccines for the Israeli Government.
  • The Green Pass / vaccine passport concept is no longer relevant in the Omicron era and should be phased out (he expects it to be in short order in Israel)
  • He and his colleagues were surprised and disappointed that the vaccines did not prevent transmission, as they had originally hoped
  • The biggest mistake of the pandemic in Israel was closing schools and education – he apologised for that
  • Widespread infection is now an inevitable part of future immunity — otherwise known as herd immunity
  • Omicron has accelerated the pandemic into the endemic phase, in which Covid will be “like flu”

SICKENING: Teacher Caught Taping Mask To Young Child’s Face In Class – Outraged Parents Plan Demonstration at Upcoming School Board Meeting

By Julian Conradson

An unidentified teacher in Pennsylvania has been caught on camera taping a mask to a students face while he was sitting at his desk in class.

This is child abuse.

The unhinged teacher, who allegedly works at Pennfield Middle School, can be seen applying a piece of scotch tape to the side of the young boy’s mask as she attaches the other end to his face.

He looks to be right around just 10 years old.

Sickening.

On Monday, a picture of the appalling incident surfaced online, which naturally sparked outrage among parents in the community who are now planning a demonstration at an upcoming North Penn School District Board meeting this week.

1642631152928.png
1642631193156.png
One concerned parent posted details of the demonstration to their Facebook page, calling on others to email the school board about the incident before the meeting.

“Pro-mask or anti-mask, I hope we can all agree that taping masks to children’s faces crosses the LINE. This was not a joke for the child or parents,” they wrote.

One thing is for sure, this disgusting, outrageous abuse of children should not be tolerated in the US – or any civilized society for that matter. This lunatic that’s masquerading as an educator should never be let around children again. As the concerned parent aptly put it – this is not a joke.

The School Board meeting is scheduled for this Thursday (1/20/22) at 7 p.m.
The North Penn School Board can be reached directly here.

Israel Study Finds 4th Booster Shot Ineffective — Moderna and Biotech Stocks Are Cratering

By Jim Hoft
Published January 19, 2022 at 7:15am

An Israeli study found that the 4th COVID booster shot is ineffective in preventing the disease.

This is horrible news for the Medical Industrial Complex.

Via James Cintolo.
A study out of Sheba Medical Center in Israel has proven that a 4th dose of either Pfizer or Moderna is ineffective against Omicron. Preliminary data was released on Monday 1/17/22 showing high antibody titers but low protection. Here’s an examination of the data, and 3 lessons we can learn from this.
To start, 274 healthcare workers at Sheba Medical Center received a 4th dose.

Specifically, 154 received Pfizer, and 120 received Moderna. They were compared with a control group of nearly 6,000 healthcare workers that didn’t receive a booster.

Prof. Gili Regev-Yochay, lead researcher commented, “We see an increase in antibodies, higher than after the third dose,” he stated. “However, we see many infected with Omicron who received the fourth dose”. T elaborate, around the same number of individuals that received 4 doses experienced as many breakthrough infections as those who received 3. That said, there are a few lessons to learn from this.
This may explain the crash in vaccine stocks Moderna and BioTech.

Alex Berenson reported:
The hedge funds have finally realized there will be no fourth shot. And that mRNA technology, erm, still has a few issues to work out. (1 billion people aren’t gonna love hearing that, but too late now. Mistakes were made, stuff happens, amirite?)
Moderna and BioNTech are down 8-10% today, 60% since August. Oh, how I wish I could have shorted them.

LAWRENCE SELLIN: While the FBI hunts patriotic Americans, China’s “Scientific Double Agents” Operate Freely in U.S. Universities

By Joe Hoft
Published January 19, 2022 at 7:45am
APP-041520-Covid-China.jpg

While the FBI hunts patriotic Americans, China’s “Scientific Double Agents” Operate Freely in U.S. Universities

One could call them Scientific Double Agents, those who appear to be working for the United States, but who simultaneously work for China.

They are the thousands of scientists trained in the People’s Republic of China, who have established themselves in laboratories in the United States, some becoming American citizens, but ostensibly maintaining allegiance to China.

They use U.S. taxpayer funding to conduct collaborative research with scientists in China, some of which are from the People’s Liberation Army.

Thus, they are, de facto, providing a subsidy to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) research programs, including biowarfare.

George Mason University’s National Center for Biodefense and Infectious Diseases, located just a few miles from CIA headquarters, has been heavily funded by the U.S. Department of Defense.

Yuntao Wu is a faculty member in the National Center for Biodefense and Infectious Diseases.

Yuntao-Wu-2.jpg


According to his resume, Yuntao Wu appears to have come from Canada, having been awarded a Ph.D. from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario.

What Yuntao Wu’s resume does not say is that he received his initial research training at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, as part of a yet unidentified undergraduate education, possibly military-related.

Between 2005 and 2021, Yuntao Wu has received about $10 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), mostly from Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), and an unspecified amount of funding from the Department of Defense.

During that entire period, Yuntao Wu invited scientists from the People’s Republic of China into his laboratory, maintained collaboration with research centers in China, and worked with scientists linked to the People’s Liberation Army, for example, Yanfang Zheng from the First Military Medical University in Guangzhou, also known as Southern Medical University.

Yuntao Wu is also as Associate Editor of the Chinese journal Virologica Sinica, the Editor-in-Chief of which is Zheng-Li Shi, the “Bat Woman” of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Virologica Sinica’s Editorial Board reads like a Who’s Who of China’s biowarfare program, including some of the presumed architects of COVID-19.

On March 6, 2020, early in the pandemic, Yuntao Wu was senior author of an article parroting the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda that COVID-19 originated in nature, not from a Chinese laboratory, as we now know.

Two co-authors on that same article, Jianming Qiu and Shan-Lu Liu, could also be considered Scientific Double Agents.

Jianming Qiu, a professor at the University of Kansas Medical Center, graduated from Zhejiang University and received a Ph.D. from the National Institute for Viral Disease Control and Prevention, Chinese Center for Disease Control in Beijing, whose director, Gao Fu, also known as George F. Gao, is closely aligned with the Chinese military, as an earlier Gateway Pundit article demonstrated.

Jianming-Qiu-1.jpg


Between 2006 and 2021, Jianming Qiu also received about $10 million from NIH, most of it from Anthony Fauci’s NIAID.

Jianming Qiu has been working with People’s Liberation Army officer Shengqi Wang between 2005 and 2021.

Shengqi Wang is shown in this photograph briefing Chinese President Xi Jinping and Vice Premier He Liu about COVID-19 detection equipment.

Shengqi-Wang.jpg


Shan-Lu Liu is a graduate of Zhengzhou University and is now a professor at Ohio State University.

Between 2013 and 2021, Shan-Lu Liu received over $4.2 million in NIH funding, the vast majority of which came from Anthony Fauci’s NIAID.

As documented in an earlier Gateway Pundit article, not only has Shan-Lu Liu collaborated with People’s Liberation Army scientist Cheng-Feng Qin, who is believed to be a key figure in China’s biowarfare program but there is evidence pointing to Shan-Lu Liu’s role as an organizer of CCP propaganda in the United States.

Cheng-Feng-Qin.jpg


In early February 2020, long before the origin of COVID-19 could have been determined, Shan-Lu Liu wrote an article entitled “No Credible Evidence Supporting the Claims of the Laboratory Engineering od SARS-CoV-2,” supporting Beijing’s argument that the virus had a natural origin.

Shan-Lu-Liu.jpg


As recently as January 2021, Shan-Lu Liu was in communication with Zheng-Li Shi of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who was encouraging him to enlist Chinese virologists in a public relations and media campaign to support Beijing’s natural origin propaganda.

There is massive Chinese infiltration in U.S. virus laboratories and American taxpayer dollars continue to flow through Scientific Double Agents into China’s fused military-civilian research programs without interference from any government agencies allegedly responsible for U.S. national security.

European Legal Expert Says Vaccine Mandates Are the Beginning of a ‘Social Credit System’ – The Reason Europeans Are Standing Up

By Joe Hoft
Published January 19, 2022 at 8:15am
Eva-Vlaardingerbroek.jpg


Legal Philosopher Eva Vlaardingerbroek weighed in on Europe’s vaccine mandate on ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ last night.

Europeans are protesting the vaccine mandates which are on the road to a social credit system like China. Legal analyst Eva Vlaadingerbroek was on Tucker Carlson last night to discuss.

Vlaardingerbroek shared:
There is a massive movement going on in Europe right now of tons of people, hundreds of thousands, millions actually who are very much aware of what’s at stake here. These people are aware of the fact that our constitutional rights are being set aside without an end date and that we’re heading towards a new system, a tyrannical regime of mass surveillance and control. And this is not just a hunch. This is all part of a bigger plan. This is something people watching right now can go and look up.

What’s very important for the American audience to know is that we’ve had this digital COVID pass in place in Europe, which is basically like a QR Code on your phone that grants you access to everyday life, like to bars, restaurants, etc. It’s completely [attached] to your vax status and this is all part of a European project issued by the European Commission that is basically surrounded around a European digital identity. So this will not stay just linked to your vaccination status. This will encompass taxes. This will encompass your medical records, apart from your vaccination status, your bank information.
So basically we already have a system in place now that’s very close, or at least from my interpretation, the beginning phases of a social credit system. We are literally turning into China.

Restrictions including COVID-19 passes, mask mandates, and work-from-home guidance will be removed in England, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Wednesday.
Johnson also suggested that self-isolation rules may also be thrown out at the end of March as the… pandemic becomes endemic.
Effective immediately, the UK government is no longer asking people to work from home.

The COVID pass mandate for nightclubs and large events won’t be renewed when it expires on Jan. 26.

And from Thursday, indoor mask-wearing will no longer be compulsory anywhere in England.

Public health Scotland wants to make it perfectly clear that even though unvaccinated have the lowest case rate per 100,000 of all the cohorts,

“a simple comparison of COVID-19 case rates in those who are vaccinated and unvaccinated should not be used to assess how effective a vaccine is in preventing serious health outcomes, because there are a number of differences between the groups, other than the vaccine itself, and these biases mean that you cannot use the rates to determine how well the vaccines work.”

Moderna no longer used to vaccinate under-31s. Brussels Times, January 13, 2022
Brussels joins several Nordic countries, who also stopped using Moderna for those 30 and under, due to the the potential for heart inflammation:
Sweden’s health ministry announced on Wednesday that it was pausing injections of Moderna’s vaccine for those aged 30 and younger. Denmark announced a similar pause for those aged 18 and younger, according to Bloomberg.

Finland followed suit on Thursday. Finnish health official Mika Salminen said the government was pausing injections of Moderna’s vaccine into males aged 30 and under.

All three countries cited evidence that Moderna’s vaccine may be a source of myocarditis, or heart inflammation, in young people.
World Health Organization: ‘No Evidence At All’ That Healthy Children, Adolescents Need Boosters Daily Wire, January 19, 2022

The World Health Organization’s top scientist said during a media briefing on Tuesday that there is no evidence that healthy children and adolescents need booster shots and that the goal needs to be protecting specific vulnerable populations.

“The aim is to protect the most vulnerable, to protect those at highest risk of severe disease and dying,” the W.H.O.’s chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan said. “Those are our elderly populations, the immunocompromised, people with underlying conditions, but also health care workers because if a lot of health care workers get infected as we see now, they can be out sick and we don’t want them getting severely ill.”

“There’s no evidence right now that healthy children or healthy adolescents need boosters,” she added. “No evidence at all.”



Choosing the right COVID-19 indicator: crude mortality, case fatality, and infection fatality rates influence policy preferences, behaviour, and understanding

Highlights:
  • This study was conducted to address ways to modify population behavior by using more fear-based language.
  • The authors suggest using language, such as crude mortality rates to raise more anxiety. The authors believe that this will lead to more compliance by the general population for lock-downs, CFRs and other such measures.
  • The authors believe that when people’s ability to cope with anxiety is low, it is more likely that people will comply with preventive measures such as social distancing.
  • Risk avoidance (preferences) can be connected to not gathering in public, staying at home, and avoiding going to grocery shops as individuals avoid unpredictable situations.
  • The authors state that another recent study shows increasing risk perception from public health communications helps contain the virus
    • (Factcheck: this was not actually what other study concluded:
      “the present study found that geographical regions and behaviors in using social media have a positive impact on the risk perception of COVID-19 epidemic in Vietnam.” The study did not address whether these communications would actually cause containment of the virus”
  • The authors recommend policy makers to regularly provide clear definitions of the various COVID-19 indicators to compensate for the lack of objective information often provided by the media.
  • The authors favor the usage of the crude mortality rates during normal pandemic times, when the objective is to make people used to wearing masks indoor and regularly use disinfectants.
  • Increase people’s understanding of the pandemic’s gravity in order to increase the usage of CFRs. This is especially useful when governments seek people’s support of measures that limit the organization of social events.

    Do I need to say anything more about this “study”?…

The far-left NEEDS your pandemic fear to retain their CONTROL (Glenn Beck)

Jan 19, 2022


Glenn Beck


Reports from Europe and South Africa hint that Omicron may signal a coming end to the COVID pandemic — even if the virus sticks around, like the flu. But that’s bad news for the far-left, because they NEED fear to retain their control. In fact, their recent actions related to COVID are not about the disease at all, Glenn says…today it’s all about control, silencing dissenting speech, and empowering labor unions. And by using fear, politicians cause everyday Americans tired of government overreach to feel isolated and alone. In this clip, Glenn explains the solution that YOU can begin today…

Credibility In Shreds: CDC's Shocking Admission On Covid Deaths

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFiTBJQlyy4&feature=emb_title


STORY AT-A-GLANCE
  • In recent days, the pandemic narrative has undergone a remarkable number of U-turns
  • January 9, 2022, CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky sent out a tweet saying “We must protect people with comorbidities from severe COVID-19,” in other words, focused protection, which is what tens of thousands of doctors have been calling for since the creation of The Great Barrington Declaration in early October 2020
  • January 10, 2022, Walensky admitted that the COVID shots cannot prevent transmission
  • The CDC is now saying you should not retest once you’ve recovered from COVID, as the PCR can provide false positives for up to 12 weeks after the infection has been resolved. They’re also cutting the isolation requirement from 10 to just five days — probably because the failing economy is hurting Biden’s approval rating so they need people to work
  • The narrative is also changing on what makes for a COVID case and how deaths are counted. Walensky recently admitted about 40% of “COVID patients” tested positive but do not have symptoms and are hospitalized for something else. She has also promised to deliver data on how many people have actually died “from” COVID and how many died “with” it
As noted by Dr. Ron Paul in the January 10, 2022, Liberty Report above, U.S. authorities have suddenly started to change their tune with regard to COVID and the COVID shots.

“The opposition to our position are starting to wake up,” Paul says, as some shreds of truth are actually starting to be acknowledged. The good news, Paul says, is that “Maybe some of the things they’ve been saying are not quite accurate, and maybe what we’ve been saying is closer to the truth, and maybe they’re starting to recognize that.”

CDC Director Now Calls for Focused Protection

Indeed, in recent days, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has made a remarkable number of U-turns, completely reversing course on several narrative points.

For example, in a January 10, 2022, CNN interview, CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky actually admitted that “what [the COVID shots] can’t do anymore is prevent transmission,”1 whereas before, the narrative was that if you get the jab, you have nothing to worry about anymore. In July 2021, President Biden promised that if you get vaccinated, “you’re not going to get COVID.”2 Well, it wasn’t true. Many knew that, but were censored when pointing it out.

A day earlier, January 9, Walensky also sent out a tweet saying “We must protect people with comorbidities from severe COVID-19,” which is what tens of thousands of doctors have been calling for since the creation of The Great Barrington Declaration in early October 2020. It called for focused protection of high-risk individuals, such as the elderly, rather than blanket lockdowns.

It was recently revealed that Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and his former boss, now retired National Institutes of Health (NIH) director Francis Collins, colluded behind the scenes to quash the declaration.3 For whatever reason, Fauci and Collins were hell-bent on pushing economy-destroying lockdowns instead. In an October 8, 2020, email to Fauci, Collins wrote:4,5,6,7
“The proposal from the three fringe epidemiologists who met with the Secretary seems to be getting a lot of attention ... There needs to be a quick and devastating published take down of its premises ...”
“Don’t worry, I got this,” Fauci replied. Later, Fauci sent Collins links to newly published articles refuting the focused protection solution, including an op-ed in Wired magazine, and an article in The Nation, titled “Focused Protection, Herd Immunity and Other Deadly Delusions.”

CDC Follows Political Strategy, Not Science

Now, all of a sudden, Walensky is onboard with the “deadly delusion” of focused protection. Her about-face would be confusing were it not for the fact that COVID countermeasures were never about protecting the public from a virus. From the start, the pandemic had political goals, and it still does.

The pressure is now on to prove the Biden administration has made some sort of progress with the pandemic. Biden made a lot of promises, none of which have come to fruition, so now the political establishment is scrounging to come up with some plan that can make them look as though they’re getting somewhere.

The problem is that cases are now exploding, when a successful vaccine campaign should have brought the situation under control. So, they now need a way to minimize the number of cases, whereas before, they used every trick in the book to overcount them,8 in order to scare people into complying with COVID restrictions and getting the jab.

New Testing Guidance Aims to Lower Case Rates
One simple way to cut down cases is to limit testing, and that’s another U-turn we’re now seeing. The CDC is now saying you should not retest once you’ve recovered from COVID. If you test positive, just quarantine for five days and don’t retest to confirm that you’re negative, as the PCR can provide false positives for up to 12 weeks after the infection has been resolved.

Well, we’ve known this for nearly two years already. From the start, experts warned that the PCR cannot be used to diagnose an active infection, as it can pick up RNA from dead, noninfectious viral debris.
Health authorities are now spinning the tale that these revisions in guidance are because we have two years’ worth of data, and they’re just following the science. But that’s pure baloney, seeing how the data never supported their COVID restrictions in the first place.

The CDC’s decision to revise quarantine guidelines down from 10 days to just five days also appears politically motivated. Polls show the economy is a primary concern of voting Americans right now, so they need to strike a balance between the desired demolition of the economy and keeping people at work — at least until the 2022 elections are over.

There seems to be a LOT of sudden momentum surging in the direction of ending the pandemic. If I’m right, we’re going to see even more of this, and pretty quickly, since Biden has to wrap it up in time to declare victory on March 1. ~ Jeff Childers
In short, I suspect most if not all of the recent changes in COVID guidance is to build a narrative that the Biden administration has successfully brought the pandemic under control and reestablished a working economy. The change in narrative is based on political strategy, not science.

CDC Highlights Role of Comorbidities in Vaxxed COVID Deaths

View: https://twitter.com/jamessurowiecki/status/1480709905405427712?s=21


As noted by Paul in the Liberty Report above, Walensky recently stated that 75% of COVID deaths had four or more comorbidities, “So, really, these are people who were unwell to begin with.” The admission went viral and was cited as proof that COVID is a lethal risk for none but the sickest among us.

The CDC quickly stepped in, clarifying that she meant “75% of COVID deaths among those who have received the COVID jab,” not COVID deaths overall.9 You can see the unedited segment above, where that context is made clear. Still, we know that COVID poses very little risk for healthy unvaccinated people as well, and that comorbidities are a primary risk factor regardless of your COVID jab status.

COVID Death Risk Has Always Been Low — Vaxxed or Not
For example, a 2020 study10 found 88% of hospitalized COVID patients in New York City had two or more comorbidities, 6.3% had one underlying health condition and 6.1% had none.

In late August 2020, the CDC published data showing only 6% of the total death count had COVID-19 listed as the sole cause of death. The remaining 94% had had an average of 2.6 comorbidities or preexisting health conditions that contributed to their deaths.11 So, yes, COVID is a lethal risk only for the sickest among us, just as Walensky said, but that’s true whether you’re “vaccinated” or not.

As for the study12 Walensky discussed in that “Good Morning America” segment, it found that of the 1.2 million COVID jabbed subjects, only 0.0033% died of COVID between December 2020 and October 2021. (And of those, 77.8% had four or more comorbidities.) This study, Walensky claims as evidence that the COVID shot works wonders to reduce the risk of death.

But does it really? Recall studies13 showing the noninstitutionalized infection fatality rate is on average just 0.26% to begin with, and people under the age of 40 have only a 0.01% risk of dying from COVID.14

When we’re talking about a fraction of a percentage point risk, we’re talking about a risk that is close to statistical zero. So, does lowering your risk of death from 0.01% to 0.003% really translate into something worthwhile? And, more importantly, is that reduction worth the risks involved with taking the jab?

Clearly, it’s not a risk-free decision. OneAmerica, a national mutual life insurance company, recently warned that all-cause deaths among working age Americans (18 to 64) are up 40% over prepandemic norms,15 and they cannot be attributed to COVID.

So, what’s causing these deaths? What potentially deadly thing did tens of millions of Americans do in 2021 that they’ve never done before? I’ll let you ponder whether Walensky’s claim that the COVID jab is saving lives is an accurate one.

CDC Admits Large Portion of ‘COVID Patients’ Aren’t
In another recent media appearance, Walensky stated that:16

“In some hospitals that we've talked to, up to 40% of the patients who are coming in with COVID-19 are coming in not because they’re sick with COVID, but because they’re coming in with something else and have had ... COVID or the Omicron variant detected.”
This, again, is something that we’ve been highlighting since the start of the pandemic. Most so-called “COVID patients” simply weren’t, and still aren’t. They’re hospitalized for something else entirely, and just happen to get a positive test result upon admission — which very possibly is a false positive. Either way, voila, they’re a COVID patient, even though they’re hospitalized for a broken leg or a heart attack.

As noted by Delta News TV, “Comments like these have cast doubt on the severity of the current COVID surge even as the Supreme Court considers legal challenges to Biden’s sweeping private sector mandates on that very issue.”17

Is the Political Pandemic in Its Final Death Throes?
In a January 10, 2022, blog post,18 Jeff Childers, an attorney, and the president and founder of Childers Law firm, presents a hypothesis for why we might be looking at the end of the pandemic, as the Biden administration has “no reasonable alternative but to wrap this whole thing up in the next 60 days or so.”
“There’s an interesting political dynamic shaping up, a kind of political vice grip that might just be driving federal COVID policy toward authenticity and an end to the pandemic ... a lot of reality has been breaking through lately,” Childers writes.19
He points out how a federal judge recently ordered the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to release all the Pfizer COVID jab data that the agency wanted 75 years to release. The bulk of that data is now due March 1, 2022, the day of Biden’s State of the Union address. Childers suspects the Pfizer documents will contain plenty of counternarrative fodder and politically embarrassing details.

Why We’re Seeing a U-Turn in the Narrative Now
Biden needs some good news by his State of the Union address, as it’ll be his last chance to “help move the needle back toward blue,” and the way he can do that is by declaring the pandemic over. He can then claim to be the great liberator who ended the pandemic measures for good.
“If they handle this right, they can give their voting base and sycophantic media agents all the necessary talking points to boost Dem prospects for the midterm elections,” Childers writes.20
But to pull off that U-turn with any semblance of credibility, they have to start cutting the case rate now, and that’s precisely what we’re seeing. For example, the CDC recently changed its guidelines so you don’t need to retest after you’ve recovered from COVID, so no more false positives from recovered people.

Florida’s official policy is now to only test high-risk individuals and those who are symptomatic. Childers points out that the left-leaning Sun Sentinel even ran an article highlighting the fact that despite surging case rates, Florida has the lowest COVID death rate in the nation, second only to the sparsely populated Alaska. “What incredibly powerful force could make the Sun Sentinel downplay the pandemic like this?” he asks.

Will We Finally Get a More Accurate Death Count?
The CDC also appears poised to change the definition of COVID death to what it should have been all along. Childers notes:
“Fox News ... Bret Baier ... asked [Walensky] ‘how many of the 836,000 deaths in the U.S. linked to COVID are FROM COVID or how many are WITH COVID?’
Director Walensky said ... ‘those data will be forthcoming.’ Until about 10 minutes ago, the CDC said it didn’t HAVE any way to track that kind of information ... But now, apparently, CDC plans to release information about deaths from and with. What do you want to bet they’ll be REDUCING total COVID deaths shortly? By a lot.”
They’re also starting to accurately count only those who are actually sick with COVID rather than including people hospitalized for other reasons who just happen to test positive.
“Yesterday, New York Governor Hochul announced that almost HALF of patients are hospitalized for ‘non-COVID reasons,’ scattering the rotting corpse of the Narrative.
You might recall that just last week she ordered hospitals to start breaking down the reported figures and showing how many folks ACTUALLY are sick with COVID versus just testing positive in the hospital. We’ve been yelling about overcounting hospitalizations for two years now and they just noticed?”21
Same Narrative Switch Seen in Europe

The same sudden switch in narrative can be seen in Europe. Childers continues:22
“Yesterday, the Guardian UK ran a story headlined, ‘End mass jabs and live with COVID, says ex-head of vaccine taskforce.’ It says Dr. Clive Dix — former chairman of the UK’s vaccine taskforce — has called for a ‘major rethink’ of the UK’s COVID strategy, in effect reversing the approach of the past two years and returning to a ‘new normality.’
Shocking the cores the oft-maligned authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, Dr. Dix — without getting cancelled — said this:
‘We need to analyze whether we use the current booster campaign to ensure the vulnerable are protected, if this is seen to be necessary ... Mass population-based vaccination in the UK should now end.’ Ending mass vaccinations? Suddenly that idea is okay to discuss in the corporate media? Wow.”
In a January 3, 2022, interview with the Daily Telegraph, professor Andrew Pollard, head of the U.K.’s Committee on Vaccination and Immunization who helped create the Oxford-AstraZeneca shot, also made a previously verboten statement: “We can’t vaccinate the planet every four or six months,” he said. “It’s not sustainable or affordable.”23 And, like Dix, Pollard was not canceled, censored or deplatformed.

January 11, 2022, Bloomberg also reported that “European Union regulators warned that frequent COVID-19 booster shots could adversely affect the immune response and may not be feasible. Repeat booster doses every four months could eventually weaken the immune response and tire out people, according to the European Medicines Agency.”24
Marco Cavaleri, the EMA’s head of vaccines strategy, said during a January 11, 2022, press briefing:25
“While use of additional boosters can be part of contingency plans, repeated vaccinations within short intervals would not represent a sustainable long-term strategy. [Boosters] can be done once, or maybe twice, but it’s not something that we can think should be repeated constantly. We need to think about how we can transition from the current pandemic setting to a more endemic setting.”
That same day, the World Health Organization’s Technical Advisory Group on COVID-19 Vaccine Composition (TAG-CO-VAC) also issued a statement26 saying that “a vaccination strategy based on repeated booster doses of the original vaccine composition is unlikely to be appropriate or sustainable.”

They also stated that COVID vaccines that actually prevent infection and transmission need to be developed. The timing of all these statements is nothing if not remarkable. It shows just how coordinated this plandemic narrative is, all around the world.

Justice Sotomayor Called Out

Perhaps the best example that the narrative is undergoing a radical overhaul, Childers says, is Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor being fact checked and called out as a liar by The Washington Post:
“You’ll recall that Sotomayor confidently told the lawyers during oral argument Friday that ‘100,000’ children were in critical care and on ventilators with Omicron. The lawyers didn’t challenge her even though there aren’t that many total ICU beds in the whole country.
But on Saturday — the next day! — the Washington Post ran an article headlined, ‘Sotomayor’s false claim that ‘over 100,000’ children are in ‘serious condition’ with COVID.’ FALSE CLAIM?? What?? Here’s how the fact-checking article ended:
‘It’s important for Supreme Court justices to make rulings based on correct data … But Sotomayor during an oral argument offered a figure — 100,000 children in ‘serious condition … many on ventilators’ — that is absurdly high. She earns Four Pinocchios.’ It might be unprecedented for a major liberal newspaper to call out a liberal Justice. What could be going on? ...
There seems to be a LOT of sudden momentum surging in the direction of ending the pandemic. If I’m right, we’re going to see even more of this, and pretty quickly, since Biden has to wrap it up in time to declare victory on March 1. Which would explain why they pushed the SOTU back a month. They need the time to get the pandemic wrapped up.”27

419 - COVID-19 in Lincoln, Nebraska: The Mayor's View

Jan 19, 2022


Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health


Lincoln, Nebraska has fared quite well compared to counties with similar demographics: the county is in the top 10% in terms of lowest mortality rates and hit the President’s 70% vaccine uptake target in July 2021. These successes are in no small part due to the leadership of Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird who talks with Josh Sharfstein about difficult decisions and her hope that stories of the community’s courage, bravery, and generosity will be legacies of COVID-19.

The Anti Joe Rogan Doctor Letter Was A HOAX To Smear Joe And Get Him Banned, Gen Z MORE Conservative

Jan 19, 2022


Tim Pool


The Anti Joe Rogan "Doctor" Letter Was A HOAX To Smear Joe And Get Him Banned, Freedom Is WINNING. One expert warned that Joe Rogan's audience is mostly 24 and thus he was influencing Generation Z. Polls show Generation Z is slightly more conservative in many ways compared to Millennials This means that Joe Rogan's influence will further push young people toward freedom and independence, personal responsibility. As the old guard republicans retire and the establishment Democrats lose a new wave of younger more freedom minded libertarian people will take over industry and politics Of course the woke left is terrified

UPDATE: New West Charter School LA Caught Abusing Young Unvaccinated Girls — Parents Organize Protest at School Today at 1 PM

By Jim Hoft
Published January 19, 2022 at 8:30am
girls-new-west-high-school-protest.jpg


On Tuesday video was released of several young girls including four freshmen, one sophomore, and a junior isolated and abused at New West Charter LA because they chose not to get the COVID vaccine.

The girls were denied chairs, forced to sit outside on the pavement behind warning tape, and were not allowed to use the school’s restrooms.

School police are seen outside the warning tape guarding the area as if they are prisoners.

One little girl described the abuse in video: “I’m a student at New West Charter School and I’m here with five other girls. Four of them are freshmen, one is a junior and I’m a sophomore. And we are being threatened to be suspended because we don’t have the COVID 19 vaccine. And we’re being refused of the right to attend school… And we’re being closed off by this caution tape thing. We’re being segregated from the rest of the school.”

The girls posted video from behind their warning tape.

Greetings from near tropical NYC!
I had some dental work done today. As I was lying on my back with mouth open and dentistry going on, dentist and assistant were mentioning vax damage. First the dental assistant, who has had one jab and now has unpredictable pains, tingling, stuff in her injection arm. Dentist responded his left arm now feels sort of numb all the time. I assume he got the injection on his non-preferred side (left if he's right handed) but still, some of dentistry must use two hands. Dentist advised assistant not to get the 2nd shot. So assistant has put her health at risk and she's still considered unvaxed by everyone.

They don't even say "vax" to each other, they're uncomfortable talking about it. But the dentist obviously thinks both their problems are from the vax.

Assistant tried to get a doctor appt. to have it looked at, she was told she has to have a remote consultation first and then might be invited for an in-person appt. Dentist said she should claim some sort of non-vax-related ordinary problem to get the appt.

SHOCKING: Analysis of CDC Data CONFIRMS MASSIVE 40% Spike in Deaths Among 18-49 Year-Olds Over the Past Year – Still Unexplained

By Julian Conradson
Published January 19, 2022 at 8:45am

Screenshot_20220118-200315_Chrome-913x479.jpg

An analysis of CDC data that was recently released by The Epoch Times shows there has been an alarming increase in deaths among 18-49 year olds in the United States over the past year – but what’s most concerning is that the majority of the deaths were reportedly unrelated to Covid-19.

Deaths in this age group – which are traditionally the healthiest working-aged Americans – skyrocketed by more than 40 percent from October 2020-2021 compared to the same period in 2018-19, which was pre-Covid, according to the analysis of death certificate data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by the Epoch Times.

Just 42 percent of the excess deaths included COVID-19 on the death certificate as the cause or a contributing factor. It is not clear if the number includes vaccine deaths.

The new data almost exactly mirrors what the head of one of the United States’ largest insurance companies blew the whistle on earlier this month.


When broken down state by state, the spike in deaths among 18-49 year-olds is even worse than 40% in some places. The most dramatic increase was in the South, the Midwest, and the West Coast. Meanwhile, the northeastern states generally saw much milder spikes, per the ET analysis.

Texas, for example, saw the 18 to 49 age mortality jump by a whopping 61 percent – which was the second-highest increase in the country.

And just 41 percent of those excess deaths were attributed to Covid.

Nevada was the worst with a 65 percent prime-age mortality surge (only 36 percent Covid-related). Arizona and Tennessee recorded 57 percent increases (37 percent and 33 percent Covid-related).

California rounded out the top five with a massive 55 percent increase, with just 42 percent attributed to COVID.

The only state that did not experience an increase in deaths among “prime-aged” 18-49 year olds was New Hampshire, which saw no mortality increase and, quite shockingly, no COVID deaths in this age group. Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland had minor increases of 10 percent, 13 percent, and 16 percent respectively.

As to what is causing the shocking increase in death among prime aged Americans, it is still unclear. The CDC has not released detailed reports that include the cause of death – aside from those involving COVID, pneumonia, and influenza – as of yet for its 2021 data.

But when looking at the CDC data on deaths among this age group from 2019-2020, mortality increased by about 24 percent, with just under a third of those excess deaths involving COVID – indicating that the almost doubling year-over-year increase could be tied to the rollout of the vaccines.

Either way, the data speaks for itself. What is going on here?

When confronted with the data from the CDC analysis, health department officials in several states confirmed to The Epoch Times that they are “looking into” the astounding jump in deaths, but their responses did not sound too promising.

From The Epoch Times:
“’Our Center of Health Statistics is looking at the data,’ said Chris Van Deusen, the head of Media Relations at the Texas Department of State Health Services, via email. ‘We’ll get back with you.’
Shannon Litz, a public information officer at the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, said via email she passed on questions regarding the mortality spike to the agency’s Office of Analytics “for review.”
The health department in Arizona did not even offer a response because the data is “not yet finalized,” and the District of Columbia Health Authority claimed they do not have someone on staff that’s qualified to analyze the data – but don’t worry, “the position is being advertised.”

Yes, seriously.
“Robert Mayfield, spokesman for D.C.’s health authority, referred The Epoch Times to the district’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner (OCME), which suggested it lacked the expertise to analyze the phenomenon.

‘OCME does not currently have an epidemiologist (the position is being advertised) so it has no present ability to analyze the data,’ said the office’s spokesman Rodney Adams via email

Arizona’s Department of Health Services couldn’t respond to questions regarding the issue because its data is ‘not yet finalized,’ said Tom Herrmann, the agency’s public information officer, via email.”
Officials in Tennessee even explicitly stated they won’t even look into the excess deaths until the CDC can verify its data in “fall 2022.”
When the 2021 data is finalized in the fall of 2022, we will have a better understanding of the data and a more detailed analysis,” Sarah Tanksley, communications director for the Tennessee Department of Health, said via email.
And as for the CDC and Biden’s Regime, they have refused to respond when presented with the data, according to the Epoch Times.

So much for ‘if we end up saving one life it will all be worth it.’

This has never been about saving lives.

COVID-19 Daily Updates in NSW Australia Reveal Most Recent COVID Deaths Were Vaccinated Citizens

By Jim Hoft
Published January 19, 2022 at 9:00am
towfiqu-barbhuiya-cOH3j5lQDYo-unsplash-1-scaled.jpg

We were told the experimental COVID vaccines were going to “stop the spread” and “prevent death and hospitalization.”

The New South Wales government website released its daily Covid update. Based on its daily report, most of the people who died with COVID-19 in January 2022 were at least double vaccinated.

Here is the data available on the NSW government website:

Jan 19 (vaccinated: 24, unvaccinated: 8)

Sadly, NSW Health is today reporting the deaths of 32 people with COVID-19; 12 women and 20 men.

Three people were aged in their 40s, three people were aged in their 60s, eight people were in their 70s, 11 people were in their 80s and seven people were in their 90s.

Of the 32 people who died; 23 people had received at least two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, one person had received one dose and eight were not vaccinated. Old age is a significant risk factor for serious illness and death for COVID-19, particularly when combined with significant underlying health conditions.

Jan 18 (vaccinated: 33, unvaccinated: 3)

Sadly, NSW Health is today reporting the deaths of 36 people with COVID-19; 22 men and 14 women.

One person was aged in their 40s, two people were aged in their 50s, one person was aged in their 60s, 11 people were in their 70s, 12 people were in their 80s and nine people were in their 90s.

Of the 36 people who died; 33 people had received at least two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, and three people were not vaccinated. Older age is a significant risk factor for serious illness and death for COVID-19, particularly when combined with significant underlying health conditions.

Jan 17 (vaccinated: 15, unvaccinated: 2)

Sadly, NSW Health is today reporting the deaths of 17 people with COVID-19; 12 men and five women.

One person was aged in their 60s, four people were aged in their 70s, nine people were aged in their 80s, and three people were in their 90s.

Of the 17 people who died; 14 people were vaccinated against COVID-19, one person had received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and two people were not vaccinated. Older age is a significant risk factor for serious illness and death for COVID-19, particularly when combined with significant underlying health conditions.

Jan 16 (vaccinated: 14, unvaccinated: 6)

Sadly, NSW Health is today reporting the deaths of 20 people with COVID-19; 12 men and eight women.

Two people were aged in their 50s, six people were aged in their 70s, seven people were aged in their 80s, four people were in their 90s, and one person was 100+.

Of the 20 people who died; 14 people were vaccinated against COVID-19 and six people were not vaccinated.

Jan 15 (vaccinated: 16, unvaccinated: 4)

Sadly, NSW Health is today reporting the deaths of 20 people with COVID-19; 11 men and nine women.

One person was aged in their 20s, three people were aged in their 50s, one person was aged in their 60s, four people were in their 70s, nine people were in their 80s and two people were in their 90s.

Of the 20 people who died; 16 people were vaccinated against COVID-19 and four people were not vaccinated.

Jan 14 (vaccinated: 19, unvaccinated: 10)

Of the 29 people who died; 19 people were vaccinated against COVID-19 and 10 people were not vaccinated.

Jan 13 (vaccinated: 14, unvaccinated: 8)

Sadly, NSW Health is today reporting the deaths of 22 people with COVID-19; 13 men and nine women.

Three people were aged in their 40s, five people were aged in their 60s, five people were aged in their 70s, 11 people are in their 80s and five people are in their 90s.

Of the 22 people who died; 14 were vaccinated and eight were not vaccinated.

Jan 12 (vaccinated: 13, unvaccinated: 8)

One person was unvaccinated, one person had received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and two people had received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Despite the alarming number of vaccinated people who died with COVID compared to unvaccinated, the NSW government still continues to urge its constituents to get vaccinated.

“We urge people to get their booster dose as soon as they are eligible, to best protect themselves, their loved ones, and the community from the ongoing transmission of COVID-19.

We also strongly recommend that people aged 12 years and over who are severely immunocompromised have a third primary dose of vaccine from two months after their second dose.”

This is just the latest evidence that experimental vaccines don’t stop the spread and save someone from death and the public health bureaucracy fully knew it and the dangers of these experimental vaccines but pushed them out to the world anyways.

Despite it is the pandemic of the vaccinated, the unvaccinated population is punished with financial penalties.

Morning Brew reported:
Greece: Beginning Sunday, unvaccinated people in Greece aged 60 and over will have to pay a monthly fine of €50 ($57), a penalty that’ll be doubled in February. “It’s the price to pay for health,” Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said.
Austria: The government is planning to slap all unvaccinated adults with fines of up to $4,108 beginning in mid-March.

Canada: The Quebec government announced last week that unvaccinated adults will soon have to pay a financial penalty. Quebec’s premier said the policy was a “question of fairness” for the 90% of Quebec adults who are vaccinated.

The US: President Biden’s vax-or-test mandate for large employers, which could have led to fines up to $136,000, was struck down by the Supreme Court last week. Still, a number of corporations have implemented some form of “no-vax tax” on employees anyway: Delta is charging unvaccinated staff on its health plan an extra $200/month, and Kroger eliminated paid leave for unvaxed employees who get Covid.—NF

Fauci Warns There Are Five Stages in a Pandemic… and We Are Still in the First Stage

By Cristina Laila
Published January 19, 2022 at 5:37pm
IMG_9207.jpg

Dr. Fauci is living his best life because of the Covid pandemic so he never wants it to end.
Fauci is worth more than $10 million and he’s being paraded around like a celebrity so it is in his best interest to keep Covid going for as long as possible.

Dr. Fauci this week joined the opening day of Klaus Schwab’s Davos Agenda where he trashed the First Amendment and whined about Covid ‘disinformation’ being spread in the US.

“One of the things the entire world is facing, but we certainly are facing it in a very, very disconcerting way in the United States is the amount of disinformation that is accompanying what should be a problem that everyone pulls together against a common enemy, which is the virus,” he said. “We have disinformation that is entirely destructive to a comprehensive public health endeavor.”

Fauci said there are five stages in a pandemic and we’re only in stage one.

The five phases of a pandemic according to Lord Fauci:

1. Negative impact
WE ARE HERE

2. Deceleration
“It is an open question as to whether or not Omicron is going to be the live virus vaccination that everyone is hoping for, because you have such a great deal of variability with new variants emerging,” he said.

3. Control
“Control means you have it present, but it is present at a level that does not disrupt society,” Fauci says.

4. Elimination
The elimination of a pandemic occurs when the virus still exists in the world but it has been eradicated from certain regions or countries. Fauci gives the example of polio, which has been eradicated from many countries in the Global North. Fortune reported.

The world is still far from achieving that with COVID, scientists say.

5. Eradication
Fauci conceded Covid will never be eradicated.

“That’s not going to happen with this virus,” Fauci said.

Boris Johnson Scraps COVID Mandates in England: ‘We Will Trust The Judgment of the British People’

By Alicia Powe
ublished January 19, 2022 at 10:52a
boris-johnson-.jpeg

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is scrapping COVID mandates.

As of Thursday, students are no longer required to wear masks in classrooms.

On January 27, face masks will no longer be mandatory in any school or anywhere in England and vaccine passports will no longer be required to attend large events. The government will instead “recommend” face coverings in enclosed spaces but leave people with a choice on whether to wear them.

The government will also abandon its COVID pass requirement and no longer force people to present proof of vaccination to enter public venues.

“In the country at large, we will continue to suggest the use of face coverings in enclosed or crowded spaces, particularly when you come into contact with people you don’t normally meet, but we will trust the judgment of the British people and no longer criminalize anyone who chooses not to wear one,” Johnson announced Wednesday as parliament rejoiced.

The British prime minister also rescinded the government’s work-from-home requirement which has been in effect since December 13. England will begin treating Covid like the flu, Johnson explained.

2:00 min

“There will soon come a time when we can remove the legal requirement to self-isolate altogether, just as we don’t place legal obligations on people to isolate if they have flu,” Johnson said. “As Covid becomes endemic, we will need to replace legal requirements with advice and guidance, urging people with the virus to be careful and considerate of others.”

The British head of state maintains Covid restrictions are no longer mandatory because government scientists claim the surge of infections prompted by the omicron variant “has now peaked nationally” and more than 90 percent of those over 60 in the UK have received at least three doses of the Covid vaccine or booster shot.

And just like that, the UK became freer than the US.

Starbucks Nixes Covid Vaccine Requirement After Supreme Court Strikes Down Biden OSHA Mandate

By Cristina Laila
Published January 19, 2022 at 12:45pm
IMG_8279.jpg


Starbucks on Tuesday announced it will no longer require employees to be vaccinated against Covid after the Supreme Court ruling.

The US Supreme Court last Thursday blocked Joe Biden’s OSHA vaccine mandate for businesses with 100+ employees.

“Although Congress has indisputably given OSHA the power to regulate occupational dangers, it has not given that agency the power to regulate public health more broadly,” the court wrote in an unsigned opinion.

“Requiring the vaccination of 84 million Americans, selected simply because they work for employers with more than 100 employees, certainly falls in the latter category,” the court wrote.

The American coffeehouse giant sent a memo to its employees late Tuesday announcing it will be reversing its vaccine mandate to comply with the Supreme Court ruling.

AP reported:
Starbucks is no longer requiring its U.S. workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19, reversing a policy it announced earlier this month.
In a memo sent Tuesday to employees, the Seattle coffee giant said it was responding to last week’s ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court. In a 6-3 vote, the court rejected the Biden administration’s plan to require vaccines or regular COVID testing at companies with more than 100 workers.

“We respect the court’s ruling and will comply,” Starbucks Chief Operating Officer John Culver wrote in the memo.

Starbucks’ reversal is among the most high-profile corporate actions in response to the Supreme Court ruling. Many other big companies, including Target, have been mum on their plans.
General Electric Co last Friday suspended its vaccine or test requirement for its 174,000 employees after the Supreme Court blocked Joe Biden’s OSHA mandate.

SHOCKING FOOTAGE! NYPD Take Away Unvaccinated Child in Police Car During Anti-Mandate Protest in NYC! — Must See VIDEO!

By Cara Castronuova
Published January 19, 2022 at 7:15pm

An unvaccinated child was seen being taken away by police from the Museum of Natural History in Manhattan this evening.

Please see the upsetting video here:

The girl was with her mother as part of a protest against the unprecedented Vaccine Mandates that have swept New York City. All children over the age of five are required to have a Covid vaccine in order to enter indoor spaces such as the museum.

The group entered the museum without the mandated Vaccine Identification and were denied entry by staff after paying for their tickets. They were asked to leave by Museum Security due to lack of Vaccine Passport. When they declined to leave, security called the NYPD. After a peaceful protest that lasted over three hours, the police arrested the group.

According to witnesses, security locked the group inside the museum until police arrived.

The terrified child was seen flanked by two police officers. She was escorted down the museum stairs towards a waiting NYPD police vehicle and taken away.

Man’s agonizing penis pain is found to be rare side effect of COVID
The Sun​



A man’s agonizing penis pain was blamed on COVID infection, as docs warned of the rare side effect.
Writing in a medical journal, the Iranian team described how the virus led to blood clotting in the poor man’s shaft.
The unnamed male had suffered penile pain for three days before being seen by a urologist in Iran, who referred him for tests.

The discomfort began following an erection while having sex, the 41-year-old married man told doctors.
He had not experienced any trauma to his pelvic area that might explain his symptom.
But he had a positive COVID PCR test three weeks prior, radiologist Seyed Morteza Bagheri and a colleague from the Iran University of Medical Sciences wrote in the journal Clinical Case Reports.
Nothing was out of the ordinary about his COVID illness. doctors noted.
He had mild symptoms including fever, cough and fatigue and did not need to take any medication.
Tests at the hospital showed the man had “thrombosis of deep dorsal penile vein” – blood clotting in a vein that runs along the top of the shaft.

The vein runs the whole length of the penis and is involved in supply of oxygenated blood to the organ.
An ultrasound showed “no [blood] flow in the vein” due to a clot around half way along the penis.
Immediately, doctors started giving rivaroxaban, a blood thinning medication used to treat and prevent blood clots.
“Two months after starting the treatment, patient’s symptoms were completely disappeared and he had no penile pain during erection and sexual disturbances anymore,” the medics wrote.
Everything was in working order “down there”, Mr Morteza Bagheri wrote.
However, the man still experienced a little pain under pressure at the site of the blood clotting.
Doctors had to drain blood from the penis using a needle because ice packs did not work to bring the stiffness down. Doctors had to drain blood from the penis using a needle because ice packs did not work to bring the stiffness down.Shutterstock

Trapped blood
Scientists have learned over the pandemic that the coronavirus does not just cause respiratory symptoms.
One of its other features is to increase the tendency of blood to clot. In fact, this is often the cause of death.
“Roughly, 20 percent – 50 percent of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 infection have abnormal coagulation tests,” Mr Morteza Bagheri wrote.
But he said the type of blood clotting this patient had was very rare. When it does occur, it’s usually in somebody who has a blood clotting disorder.

It could become life threatening if the blood clot breaks off and travels to the lung, causing pulmonary embolism.
“Searching the literature showed no previously published similar case of deep dorsal penile vein thrombosis following COVID-19 infection and our patient is the first reported case,” Mr Morteza Bagheri said.
Thrombosis in another vein, the superficial dorsal penile vein, has been reported previously in men with COVID.
And a bunch of other complications in the male genitalia have been reported by doctors over the course of the pandemic.

A 69-year-old man in Ohio, suffered a three-hour erection — a condition called priapism — due to blood clotting problems in his penis.
Medics reported in The American Journal of American Medicine that they believed COVID had caused clots to form in his penis, trapping blood in the erection chambers.
Doctors had to drain blood from the penis using a needle because ice packs did not work to bring the stiffness down.
He unfortunately died of COVID due to his lungs failing.
Another man in his 60s, in France, had to go through the same procedure after COVID left him with a four-hour erection.
In this case, the doctors concluded that the man’s priapism had been triggered by COVID. He survived and hadn’t suffered priapism since discharge.

Meanwhile, experts have found evidence that COVID may damage the blood vessels of the penis, making it harder to get an erection.
One man in his 30s revealed he had struggled to get an erection after infection and, as a result, his penis had shrunk.

Republicans push for greater access to COVID therapeutics

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, introduces legislation to prohibit federal government from limiting state access to monoclonal antibody treatments.

By Brett Rowland
Updated: January 19, 2022 - 11:35pm

Republicans are pushing for greater access to monoclonal antibody treatments for COVID-19 after the federal government took over the distribution of such drugs last year.

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, filed Senate Bill 3440 to prohibit the federal government from limiting state access to monoclonal antibody treatments.

“One of the things we've learned during this pandemic is that monoclonal antibodies can have a very effective therapeutic effect in combatting COVID-19 infections," Cruz said in a statement.

"The Biden administration responded to these encouraging results by rationing and limiting the ability of people to access monoclonal antibodies and stopping states like my home state of Texas from ordering the treatments directly. This federal takeover is an abuse of power that denies people lifesaving medication."

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response announced an update to the distribution of such therapeutic treatments on Sept. 3, 2021, as demand increased. Ten days later, the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response said the agency was taking control of the supply of some monoclonal antibody treatments and it would provide weekly distributions for U.S. states and territories. Before that, state and health care facilities were able to order directly from AmerisourceBergen, the distributor, without limits.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, also has been critical of the federal government's policies regarding monoclonal antibodies after the state made such treatments a priority.

“Prior to the federal government takeover of the monoclonal market, Florida successfully distributed approximately 30,000 doses per week when we managed our own supply,” DeSantis said in a statement. “The state has more than $800 million available to quickly deploy monoclonal antibody treatments throughout the state, and the only thing holding us back is the insufficient supply of treatment from the federal government."

Cruz's bill would also allow states to use federal COVID-19 relief funds to buy monoclonal antibody treatments.

A similar bill, introduced last summer, has gained 23 co-sponsors in the U.S. House.

In September 2021, Florida’s U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio and Rick Scott said the Biden administration’s actions were “vindictive, politically motivated.” They also said the Department of Health and Human Services had no business rationing supply of monoclonal antibody treatments to places where demand is high.

Rubio and Scott joined fellow Republican Sens. Roger Marshall, Kansas; Kevin Cramer North Dakota; Marsha Blackburn, Tennessee; Mike Braun, Indiana; and Tommy Tuberville, Alabama; in introducing the Treatment Restoration for Emergency Antibody Therapeutics (TREAT) Act. The proposed Treat Act, would prohibit the DHHS from restricting hospitals and other healthcare providers from ordering monoclonal antibody treatments directly from manufacturers to meet local demand.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.

As COVID Cases Plunge Across America, 'Models' Are Once Again Warning Of Imminent Deathmageddon

WEDNESDAY, JAN 19, 2022 - 05:25 PM

Across the US and much of the developed world, deaths attributed to COVID have plunged since the arrival of the omicron variant, which is notably far more mild than previous strains.



Yet this dramatic decline in deaths vs. cases isn't stopping the scientists who produce COVID "models" - which, keep in mind, have been consistently wrong since the start of the pandemic - from producing even more alarmist forecasts.

'The Science' (this time courtesy of Pennsylvania State University) is basing their models on the fact that Covid mortality has been trending slightly upward since November. In that time, the 7-day rolling average for daily new COVID deaths in the US reached nearly 1,700 on Jan. 17, still below the peak of 3,300 in January 2021.

According to Katriona Shea of Pennsylvania State University, who helps to lead a team that compiles several pandemic models and shares the projections with the White House, deaths in the US could eclipse the 1 million threshold by the end of March (they currently stand at 854,000 - and of course includes those who died with Covid as opposed to from it). In short, the forecasters are projecting anywhere between 50K and 300K deaths between now and then.

Yet, the current COVID wave, which may have already peaked, is expected to conclude in March, when warmer weather is expected to arrive across North America.

Adding to the fear mongery, AP also pointed out in a recent story that COVID deaths among nursing home residents have started to climb slightly (although the current rate is 10x less than the January peak from last year).

But while the worst-case forecasts are calling for a rise in daily mortality numbers, a quick look at the numbers out of South Africa (which is believed to be further along in its omicron-driven wave than the rest of the world since that's where the variant was first discovered) show that deaths are sharply declining - catching up to a more pronounced dropoff in cases.



To that end, as the Epoch Times reports, the number of COVID cases is falling in 34 US states, "stoking optimism that the omicron-fueled wave is subsiding." New York, Florida and California are included in the 34. Other states in this category include Alabama, Delaware, Louisiana, Georgia, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon and Pennsylvania.

Cases in New York (one of the most closely watched states) have fallen significantly from their peak above 90K from Jan. 7. Daily case numbers dropped to just 26K on Monday, while hospitalizations have fallen across the northeast.

But while academic fearmongers are trying to turn the COVID 'FUD' dial back to '11', Americans should probably be more concerned about rising non-COVID deaths in the 18 to 49 age group, something that has been driven by an increase in suicides and drug overdoses since the start of the pandemic. An analysis by the Epoch Times showed that deaths in this age group increased by 40% in the 12 months ending in October 2021.

The Epoch Times has repeatedly asked both the White House and the CDC about any steps they’re taking to address this, but they have yet to respond. What's more, researchers from Stanford University's Meta-Research Innovation Center have found that the number of COVID-caused deaths from 2020 might actually be lower than previously believed.

1642657347325.png

It's something to keep in mind when the "authorities" are pressuring everyone to get that fourth COVID jab a few months from now, even as life around the world starts to go "back to normal".

Here's What Your Fellow Americans Think Should Happen To The Unvaccinated

WEDNESDAY, JAN 19, 2022 - 01:20 PM
Authored by Jeff Thompson via The Organic Prepper blog,

What happens next?



This is the question you need to be asking yourself as you monitor the world around you, taking stock of what it is that you are seeing, and making logical deductions with the data you have coming in.

What happens when the world around you is stating that it is alright to take away your children? What happens when it decides it is morally permissible to drag you from your home and take you away to a “designated facilit[y] or locations if they refuse to get” the jab? What happens when people believe you should be forcibly imprisoned in your own home?

While this may sound crazy, this is where we are at.
A recent study from the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports has found just that, as on January 5, 2022, they conducted a telephone and online survey of 1016 US “Likely Voters” to determine if they could get a sampling of where Americans stood on these issues.

This is what they found:

Jab Mandates
  • 48% of voters want a jab mandate on both employees of large companies and government agencies
  • 78% of the Left support Biden’s jab mandate
  • 22% of alleged Republicans support it as well.
Fines
  • 55% of the Left endorse the notion of fines on unjabbed Americans
  • 19% of alleged Republicans support this position as well
  • 25% of unaffiliated voters stand behind this
Forced House Arrest
  • 59% of Democrats favor house arrest for the unjabbed
  • 21% of Republicans favor this policy
  • 39% of unaffiliated voters favor this policy
Forced Resettlement
  • 45% of the Left favor forced resettlement of the unjabbed to government-operated facilities
Forced Silence
  • 48% of the Left favor either/or fines or imprisonment for those who question the efficacy of the jab on social media, TV, radio, online, or in digital pubs
  • 14% of Republicans favor this policy as well
  • 18% of unaffiliated voters favor this policy
Kidnapping Children
  • 29% of Democrats want kids taken away from parents who are unjabbed
  • 7% of Republicans are ok with this
  • 11% of unaffiliated voters want the same
Big Brother Tracking Efforts
  • 47% of the Left favor Big Brother tracking program for those who are unjabbed
Thoughts on these numbers by the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen…

Consider the mandates.

We’re now witnessing the beginnings of a supply chain disruption that is (a large part of that which is) absolutely wrecking American economy. It’s not the only factor, but it is most certainly undeniable. When workers go the way of John Galt, what else can we expect?

And people are ok with this! People are ok with the notion of forcibly pushing their will onto somebody else in order for them to earn a living. Imagine the idea of telling somebody you had the right to name their firstborn son if they wanted to keep working at your store.

(Check out our free QUICKSTART Guide on how to prepare your food stores, so you can still eat.)
“You want to work here? That means your spouse must report to the Government Love Facility at least once a month, to improve the fertility of our nation. She will be assigned a partner when there.”


This is absolutely insane!

And yet, that is where we are at.

What about the fines?
Is it not odd that “conspiracy theorists” predicted the criminalization of the unjabbed over a year ago, and now that is not only what we are seeing around the world, but we’re now seeing it advocated for within the “Land of the Free” as well? If people are falsely led into believing that such an idea can mesh with the US Constitution or human rights, what will not be?

And do not forget we have people who are more than happy for us to push further than unjust fines as well. We have people who are actually willing to imprison you over this. Perhaps it is through house arrest (as mentioned in the study). Perhaps it is through your typical jail. Or perhaps it’s landing armed men at your front door who will take you to “temporarily live in designated facilities?”



Nazi propaganda poster claiming Jews are carriers of typhus.

Once more, it appears the “conspiracy theorists” were right. We now have people who are openly advocating for the forced resettlement of others. We now have people advocating the ghettoization of America in a manner that is eerily similar to the Jewish ghettos of World War 2.



And it’s not just you they’re after.

They’re scoping out your children.
In what is perhaps the most alarming aspect of this study is that there is a sizeable chunk of society that is seemingly ok with kidnapping your children if you don’t participate in the jab.

Where will they take them? Do you think they have plans for letting you see them again?



Do you think your child would be the exemption to the rule? That they would be placed in a “family” that loves and cares for them anywhere close to the extent that you do? What values would they teach your children? Would they be your values? Or would they be evil?

This is where America is.
The seeds of communism – planted long ago – have been permitted to flourish into a repugnant field of briars, and it has every intention of tearing you (and your family) apart.

You may say, “that will never happen here,” but it already is happening here. Consider Washington DC or Washington state. Consider that we’ve already seen children being denied cancer treatments over this situation.

You may say, “I work for the police/National Guard. Our men would never do that!”
For starters, who’s to say it will be your men?

One of the things the Nazis in World War 2 was that it was easier for atrocities to be committed when the men didn’t know the victims. Men trucked in from elsewhere are able to detach themselves from the humanity of those around them.

The other thing learned in World War 2 was that the men were isolated from The Final Solution by specialization so that they could do The Final Solution.

“All I do is drive the truck. That’s not that bad.”
“All I do is go through the house. That’s not that bad.”
“All I do is get them checked in with the paperwork. That’s not that bad.”

To detach one’s self from an evil end result by specialization is already happening. Consider the dispatch centers which take the calls and send police to arrest those who are at a wedding.

Consider the men who don’t actually enter the building to arrest anybody, but who are more than happy to drive their victims to the station for processing.

This is where America is at.

Secondly, don’t fall into the trap of believing that your men are the exception to the rule. If you are the leader of your men, and you are one of the good and brave, the system can easily replace you. Perhaps this will be done by a nationwide push to de-fund police which causes good and brave men throughout the nation to realize it’s just not worth the cost. Maybe this replacement can be made possible by making it illegal for you to stay unless you take a jab.

Men who are evil, cowardly, or without moral backbone are easy to find. And they can easily fill your slot.

While I wholeheartedly believe in American exceptionalism, and that it is our bravery in standing against evil which maintains our freedom, I also understand this:

Human behavior is fairly constant.

How is it that the average men of Police Battalion 101 (analyzed in Christopher Browning’s Ordinary Men) were able to go from vomiting and suffering nightmares after their first Jewish action to becoming efficient killers by war’s end?

How do average men, with families of their own, and a great sense of humor end up to a point where they can say, “I made the effort, and it was possible for me, to shoot only children. It so happened that the mothers led the children by the hand. My neighbor then shot the mother and I shot the child that belonged to her, because I reasoned with myself that after all without its mother the child could not live any longer.” – Police Battalion 101 officer.

Propaganda matters. It has influenced your friends, family, and neighbors into thinking that their fellow Americans are the enemy.

And this is where America is.

Are you surprised?

McMaken: Why They Want To Keep The "Health Emergency" Going Forever

WEDNESDAY, JAN 19, 2022 - 11:51 AM
Authored by Ryan McMaken via The Mises Institute,

Last month, Colorado governor Jared Polis ended statewide mask mandates and social-distancing provisions, stating that “the emergency is over.“ This, of course, does not mean Colorado is now laissez-faire in terms of covid. Public higher education institutions—thanks to Polis’ tacit approval—still have free rein in terms of imposing vaccine and mask mandates, and in forcing classes to “go online” whenever the college bureaucrats grow sufficiently alarmed about covid. Moreover, local officials were quick to react to the governor’s nonemergency by imposing a variety of mandates of their own. More than 80 percent of the state’s population still lives in counties with mask mandates.



For even this extremely mild and timid move in the direction of personal freedom, Polis was raked over the coals by the state’s left-of-center activists. Within days, The Sentinel, a newspaper out of Aurora, Colorado, issued an unsigned editorial declaring “No, Gov. Polis, the pandemic emergency is not over.” The column excoriated the governor for daring to end mask mandates and for categorically refusing the idea of future lockdowns.

Perhaps predictably, the Colorado Association of Public Health Officials opposed the move, as did numerous county government officials. Many of these local health bureaucrats even demanded the statewide imposition of vaccine passports.

In the Colorado Sun, a Democratic Party activist and college professor has now published at least two columns attacking Polis for the lack of statewide mandates, employing words like “abominable … ignorant … callus [sic]” to describe Polis's lack of commitment to imposing mandates.

Polis was also forced to walk back comments he made about how it’s not the job of health officials to “tell people what to wear“ in an apparent reference to mask mandates. Polis rather unconvincingly “clarified” that what he really meant was this was not the proper role of state health officials; it’s fine for local officials to tell people what to wear.

The fact that Polis himself had earlier claimed this was, in fact, the role of health officials is now beside the point. Incoherence and inconsistency from politicians is a given. The point now is that when a governor—even a Democratic one—tries to slightly scale back covid mandates, he or she is likely to meet furious opposition from the Left.

This was acted out at the federal level as well. When the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reduced the recommended quarantine period for those who test positive, the CDC was denounced for allegedly being a tool of corporate interests worried about workers taking too many sick days. Supposed health experts also declared the change in policy “reckless.“

The lesson here is that no matter what the policy is, there will be no shortage of covid-obsessed college professors, politicians, and activists who will vehemently demand that more draconian policies be imposed immediately and everywhere. No moderation of any kind is to be tolerated.

Indeed, so many bureaucrats, politicians, and technocrats have doubled down on covid mandate maximalism, it’s difficult to see them ever letting go.

We should expect them to search out new ways to extend current “health emergencies“ indefinitely into the future by forever moving the goal posts and finding new diseases that justify continued mask mandates and social distancing rules.

Moving the Goal Posts
Back in January of 2021, Karol Markowicz at the New York Post warned that there are many out there who want the covid emergency state “to go on forever.“ Nearly a year after the initial covid panic, when it was clear covid was not a civilization-ending disease and hardly “the plague of the century,“ these technocrats were pushing for more masks and more isolation for children.

Much of this strategy has long been pushed through constant movement of the goal posts. While vaccines were initially being sold to the public as a cure-all that would allow everything to go back to “normal“ this soon evolved into a series of explanations as to why vaccines actually changed nothing. Rather, vaccines might do some good, but the public should nonetheless be prepared to wear masks forever. Then they decided their “uniquely effective” vaccines were so effective that it was necessary to “protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated.” Even lockdowns were still on the table into late 2021. The story was then changed to a narrative in which so long as every single child is not vaccinated, schools must remain closed, and everyone must remain masked.

Finding New Diseases to Fear
Mandate maximalists also began to hint that mask mandates might be necessary forever as a means of controlling other diseases as well. The narrative pivoted to one in which the social distancing mandates and mask mandates were preventing the flu. If covid-related mandates worked so well against the flu, why not keep the mandates forever? This position accomplishes two things at once: it sets the stage for keeping mask mandates forever while also setting up the flu as a perennial justification for a perennial health emergency.

These mandates might also come in handy whenever some new bird flu or swine flu crops up. Yes, earlier flu-based “emergencies” had failed to command widespread hysteria as with the swine flu scares of 1976 and 2009. But now the health bureaucrats finally had seized the authority they always wanted: keep emergency “pandemic powers” in place forever so that if the CDC or the World Health Organization identifies a new “threat,” lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccine passports can be forced upon the population until the “danger” is past.

Institute a Warning System
Another key challenge will be to keep the public always on the edge of alarm. On this, the mandate enthusiasts could take a page from the War on Terror propaganda employed in the wake of 9/11. In March 2002, the Bush administration instituted a color-coded terrorism threat advisory scale designed to indicate the terrorism “threat level.” This presumably allowed the public to gauge just how much they should be living in fear of terrorism at any given time. As propaganda it was helpful as a means of constantly reminding the public that the government keeps them safe, and that an all-powerful national security state is a necessity.



A similar scheme could easily be used to address health “threats.” Naturally, the scale would never be moved to “low” because if some actual epidemic did break out, that would make the “experts” look like they were asleep at the switch. So, naturally, the scale would always be at “guarded”—perhaps in the summertime—but would reliably be raised to “elevated” in the wintertime as hospital beds filled up with flu and pneumonia sufferers. Then, if any muttering of some new bird flu out of Asia hit the headlines, the technocrats could raise the threat level to “high.” This could then be used to justify the imposition of new mask mandates, vaccine requirements, or even lockdowns. Then when summer weather returned and the hospital beds emptied, the experts would insist they had prevented disaster by imposing new mandates.

And so on for years and years as the public becomes convinced that without government experts, the nation will be perpetually rife with death and disease.

Finally, the experts would get the esteem they so clearly believe they deserve. Perhaps even they could obtain the adulation showered on military personnel during the high times of the war on terror—when American soldiers were busy losing two wars at once. Pro sports games will begin with a “salute to health care workers” who “keep us safe.” Indeed, many health care workers already act as prima donnas of this sort, complaining about how public protests over lockdowns were a “slap in the face” or staging walkouts to condescend to the public about how their “patience” with the unvaccinated is “running low.”

The only way these health experts will stop with their perpetual emergency is if they’re forced to. Health bureaucrats must be stripped of their far-too-expansive “emergency powers” and their agencies reined in. Their “scientific” opinions should be treated as the thinly veiled political statements they so frequently are. As I wrote in 2020, the pandemic only ends when the public decides it is over.

Some politicians have figured out that it’s dangerous to keep pushing the same old covid mandates into election season this fall. This is surely why Polis now appears uninterested in haranguing the public about covid on a daily basis as he was doing back in 2020.

But the academics and technocrats who can afford to live in their echo chamber—thanks to taxpayer money—are unlikely to relent. They’ll be singing the same tune twenty years from now and calling for new mandates—for the disease du jour—every year. Let’s just hope that the world will have finally stopped listening.
