Study claims harms of COVID-19 vaccines ‘profoundly outweighed’ benefits; calls for moratorium on mRNA shots | Blaze Media

A new peer-reviewed study in a Springer Nature Group journal has painted a damning picture of the global COVID-19 vaccination campaign along with the novel mRNA products at its core — vaccines millions of Americans were compelled to take if they wanted to
keep their jobs, eat in public, stay in school, remain in uniform, or visit their loved ones.

According to the
study, published on Jan. 24 in the PubMed-listed open access journal Cureus, standards were dropped, corners were cut, and red flags were missed in the testing, authorization, and ultimate deployment of the COVID-19 vaccines. The result: a product with an “unacceptable harm-to-reward ratio.”

Impurities

Extra to hinting at possible ulterior motives driving the decision to rush out the vaccines in a fraction of the time conventionally figured appropriate, epidemiologist M. Nathaniel Mead and his co-authors — including Texas cardiologist
Peter McCullough — wrote that the vaccines “evaluated in the trials were not the same products eventually distributed worldwide.”

Whereas the mRNA products from “clinical batches” in the registration trials were ostensibly free of process-related impurities, the doses made with “a method much more suitable for mass production known as Process 2 … showed significantly reduced mRNA integrity,” claimed the researchers.

“All of the COVID-19 mRNA products released to the public were produced via Process 2 and have been shown to have varying degrees of DNA contamination,” said the study. “The failure of regulatory authorities to heretofore disclose process-related impurities (e.g., SV40) has further increased concerns regarding safety and quality control oversight of mRNA vaccine manufacturing processes.”

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo
noted the detection of “Simian Virus 40 (SV40) promoter/enhancer DNA” in the vaccines in a Dec. 6 letter to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Peter Marks, director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research,
said in reply, “No SV40 proteins are encoded for or are present in the vaccines,” and emphasized that the shots were safe and effective.

The European Medicines Agency, which regulates vaccines in the EU, indicated that “non-functional” fragments of SV40’s DNA sequence are used in the manufacture of the COVID-19 vaccine,
reported the Associated Press.

Pfizer indicated the SV40 sequence is commonly used in developing vaccines.

Regardless of whether elements of SV40 were specifically of any consequence, Mead and his coauthors underscored that the mRNA vaccines were not as advertised.

Harms and unintended consequences

“Re-analysis of the Pfizer trial data identified statistically significant increases in serious adverse events (SAEs) in the vaccine group,” wrote Mead and the other researchers. “Numerous SAEs were identified following the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), including death, cancer, cardiac events, and various autoimmune, hematological, reproductive, and neurological disorders.”

According to the study’s authors, many of these serious SAEs “have often been wrongly ascribed to COVID-19 rather than to the COVID-19 mRNA vaccinations.”

“Misattributions of SAEs to COVID-19 often may be due to the amplification of adverse effects when mRNA injections are followed by SARS-CoV-2 subvariant infection,” said the study. “Injuries from the mRNA products overlap with both [post-acute COVID-19 syndrome] and severe acute COVID-19 illness, often obscuring the vaccines’ etiologic contributions.”

The study suggested not only that the vaccines are likely responsible for a host of devastating side effects that have been conveniently blamed on the virus but also that boosters have actually had a paradoxical impact.

“Multiple booster injections appear to cause immune dysfunction, thereby paradoxically contributing to heightened susceptibility to COVID-19 infections with successive doses,” wrote the researchers.

The researchers suggested further that the vaccines are perpetuating the emergence of new variants.

“Mass mRNA inoculations result in the natural selection of highly infectious immune-evading SARS coronavirus variants that successfully bypass vaccine-induced immunity, leading to a dramatic rise in the prevalence of these variants,” said the study.

On the basis of their review, the researchers concluded that for most adults under the age of 50, “the perceived benefits of the mRNA boosters are profoundly outweighed by their potential disabling and life-threatening harms. Potential harms to older adults appear to be excessive as well.”

In addition to calling for COVID-19 vaccines to be removed from the childhood immunization schedule along with the suspension of boosters, the researchers urged “governments to endorse and enforce a global moratorium on these modified mRNA products until all relevant questions pertaining to causality, residual DNA, and aberrant protein production are answered.”

Regarding possible conflicts of interests, the authors indicated that no financial support was afforded them by any organization for the study.

Stephanie Seneff, one of the authors, nevertheless declared a grant from Quanta Computer Inc., a Taiwan-based computer manufacturer. Entrepreneur Steve Kirsch, another author, noted that he is the founder of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation but “receives no income from this entity.” McCullough, who supervised the study, highlighted his employment and stock options from the Wellness Company.

McCullough was involved in another troubling study that was recently published.

His
peer-reviewed study published last month in the pharmacotherapy journal Therapeutic Advances in Drug Safety stressed that “COVID-19 vaccination is strongly associated with a serious adverse safety signal of myocarditis, particularly in children and young adults resulting in hospitalization and death.”

“COVID-19 vaccines induce an uncontrolled expression of potentially lethal SARS-CoV-2 spike protein within human cells, have a close temporal relationship of events, and are internally and externally consistent with emerging sources of clinical and peer-reviewed data supporting the conclusion that COVID-19 vaccines are deterministic for myocarditis, including fatal cases,” claimed the study.

Study: COVID-19 vaccination is ‘strongly associated with a serious adverse safety signal of myocarditis’ | Blaze Media

The U.S. government,
the mainstream media, and so-called experts long downplayed the possibility of a link between heart inflammation and COVID-19 vaccines. Elements of the medical establishment and social media companies worked to shut up those who dared to press the issue.

Health officials and their stenographers in the media later admitted an elevated risk of myocarditis among mRNA COVID-19 vaccinees, especially among boys and young men. Despite
belated advisories to this effect from the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, little changed in the way of the prevailing narrative: the supposed benefits of the vaccines outweighed the risks, which allegedly remained mild and rare.

A new peer-reviewed
study published Saturday in the pharmacotherapy journal Therapeutic Advances in Drug Safety has thrown some more cold water on that persistent narrative, indicating that “COVID-19 vaccination is strongly associated with a serious adverse safety signal of myocarditis, particularly in children and young adults resulting in hospitalization and death.”

“COVID-19 vaccines induce an uncontrolled expression of potentially lethal SARS-CoV-2 spike protein within human cells, have a close temporal relationship of events, and are internally and externally consistent with emerging sources of clinical and peer-reviewed data supporting the conclusion that COVID-19 vaccines are deterministic for myocarditis, including fatal cases,” the study claims.

The study is the result of an effort on the part of Texas cardiologist
Peter McCullough, biologist Jessica Rose, and researcher Nicolas Hulscher to further explore links between COVID-19 vaccination and heart inflammation using the vaccine adverse events report system.

On the basis of data in VAERS — a system created and implemented by the FDA and CDC in 1990 — the researchers examined the frequency of myocarditis reports in the aftermath of COVID-19 vaccination and compared their findings with past reports from other vaccines that have been rolled out over the years.

The researchers found that upon the massive rollout of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in 2021, there was a significant spike in the number of myocarditis reports, “far higher than the reports from all other vaccines combined over the previous 30 years. This side effect was mostly reported in young individuals, especially males.”

The spike represented a 2,500% increase in the “absolute number of reports in the first year of the campaign when comparing historical values prior to 2021.”

Contrary to governmental claims of mildness, the study found that most of those who reported myocarditis required emergency medical care or hospitalization, and 92 individuals reportedly succumbed to the apparently vaccine-induced affliction.

The study highlighted that the COVID-19 vaccines, which were rushed through safety and efficacy trials inside a 10-month period as opposed the years-long process that novel genetic products customarily undergo,
continue to be recommended to everyone 6 months of age and older. The researchers suggested this recommendation should be axed, at the very least for children.

“Children have a negligible risk for COVID-19, and yet they are a high-risk group for myocarditis from COVID-19 vaccination,” wrote the researchers. “The World Health Organization’s current vaccination advice states that healthy young people ages 6 months to 17 years are a ‘low priority group’ and that vaccinating this group has limited impact on public health.”

The researchers stressed further in their paper that “myocarditis resulting in hospitalization and death attributable to the COVID-19 vaccines may be viewed as an excess risk of the injection program” because,
despite claims to the contrary, the vaccines never stopped transmission and there “are no prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trials of COVID-19 injectable products demonstrating reductions in COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths as primary or secondary endpoints.”

“We believe COVID-19 vaccination may pose more harm to children than theoretical benefit. This corroborates actions taken by Sweden, Norway, and Finland in 2021 when health officials suspended the use of Moderna injections in young people due to the detection of safety signals for an increased risk of myocarditis,” added the researchers.

Europeans are not the only ones who have spared their children from the novel vaccines. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration has
recommended against COVID-19 vaccination for children and young men since March 2022.

McCullough
said of his study, “If vaccines cannot demonstrate acceptable safety profiles or be modified to improve safety, they must be removed from the market. Don’t accept ‘unavoidable harms’ and freedom from liability for the manufacturers. These data demonstrate COVID-19 vaccines are not safe.”

Dr. Jordan Peterson responded to the study on X,
writing, “I think it’s about time to lay some criminal charges.” He added in a subsequent message, “This is utterly terrible.”

Katy Faust, the head of the children’s rights group Them Before Us,
tweeted, “The pressure to vaccinate my teenagers was overwhelming. From schools, from doctors, from friends, from public establishments that shut them out. A pox on all the medical professionals who pushed this at the risk of children’s lives and long-term health.”

Bombshell report finds Chinese lab mapped COVID-19 virus weeks before China notified the world | Blaze Media

Chinese researchers reportedly identified and mapped the COVID-19 virus weeks before China notified the world, according to a new bombshell report. The alarming findings raise serious concerns about China’s transparency regarding the initial coronavirus outbreak.

According to documents obtained by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a Chinese researcher uploaded a nearly complete sequence of the COVID-19 virus structure to a U.S. database run by the National Institute of Health on Dec. 28, 2019 – two weeks before China officially notified the world about the deadly virus to the world.

The Chinese researcher has been named as Dr. Lili Ren – a virologist at the Institute of Pathogen Biology of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee noted that the Institute of Pathogen Biology of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences has ties to the Chinese Communist Party and People’s Liberation Army. The Republican lawmakers also noted that Ren is a “current subgrantee of non-profit EcoHealth Alliance on the same National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) grant as the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), which has been debarred from receiving NIH grants for ten years for failing to provide laboratory records requested by NIH and for conducting research that ‘did lead or could lead to health issues or other unacceptable outcomes.'”

Ren reportedly tried to publish the genetic sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to GenBank – a comprehensive database of genetic sequences that is publicly available and operated by the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

However, GenBank reportedly notified Ren via email three days later that her submission was incomplete and that she needed to provide additional annotations. After Ren did not provide the annotations, GenBank deleted Ren’s genetic sequencing from its processing queue on Jan. 16, 2020, according to the Washington Post.

Interestingly enough, a different team of Chinese researchers submitted a “nearly identical” genetic sequence of SARS-CoV-2 to GenBank that was published on Jan. 12, 2020, according to a letter sent to the House Energy and Commerce Committee leaders from Melanie Anne Egorin – a senior official at the HHS.

China didn’t officially notify the World Health Organization about the COVID-19 sequence until Jan. 12, 2020.

Before the virus was identified as a novel coronavirus, Beijing had maintained the outbreak was a cluster of cases of pneumonia “of unknown cause” in Wuhan, Hubei Province. Chinese officials linked the outbreak to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan.

“The existence of a SARS-CoV-2 sequence days before the CCP acknowledged an outbreak, and more than two weeks before the China CDC release their sequence, calls into question how early the CCP knew about the virus and how long they withheld this information from the world, resulting in more deaths and wasting critical time to develop vaccines and treatments,” said Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Republicans said the Biden administration, the NIH, and HHS have “obstructed and delayed Congressional investigations into the origins of SARS-CoV-2” and “refused to produce this sequence for over seven months.”

The sequence was only released to the House Energy and Commerce Committee after it had threatened subpoenas.

Committee Chair Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.), and Morgan Griffith (R-Va.) said, “This significant discovery further underscores why we cannot trust any of the so-called ‘facts’ or data provided by the CCP and calls into serious question the legitimacy of any scientific theories based on such information.”

“The American people deserve to know the truth about the origins of SARS-CoV-2, and our investigation has uncovered numerous causes for concern, including how taxpayers’ dollars are spent, how our government’s public health agencies operate, and the need for more oversight into research grants to foreign scientists,” the Republican representatives stated on Wednesday. “In addition to equipping us to better prepare for the next pandemic, this investigation’s findings will help us as policymakers as we work to strengthen America’s biosafety practices and bolster oversight of research grants.”

The Wall Street Journal reported, “Having the virus information two weeks earlier ‘would have helped in the early stages of the outbreak,’ particularly with putting a more effective testing regimen in place, said Richard Ebright, a microbiologist at Rutgers University.”

Jesse Bloom – a virologist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle – told the Washington Post, “That two weeks would have made a tangible difference in quite a few people’s lives.”

There have been an estimated 7 million COVID-19 deaths.

The Chinese Embassy told the WSJ, “China has kept refining our COVID response based on science to make it more targeted. China’s COVID response policies are science-based, effective, and consistent with China’s national realities. They can stand the test of history.”

Ren did not respond to a request for comment from the Wall Street Journal.

‘They never said you won’t get COVID!’ Howie Mandel challenges RFK Jr. on vaccine efficacy | Blaze Media

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had a lively exchange with television host and podcaster Howie Mandel surrounding claims in the media that were made about the efficacy of COVIID-19 vaccines. Mandel argued that the messaging was not as misleading as Kennedy was making it out to be.

On Mandel’s “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” podcast, Kennedy attempted explained that the claims that were made after clinical COVID-19 vaccine trials were not transparent.

Mandel acknowledged that there was an at-risk group of obese, ill, or older people who were more likely to need vaccination.

Kennedy described Pfizer’s clinical trial.

“The clinical trial study, you had 22,000 people who took the vaccine and 22,000 people got the placebo, and what the result was after six months, they had to hand that data to FDA in order to get the emergency use authorization,” Kennedy began. “That data showed that in the vaccine group there was one COVID death of 22,000 people over six months; in the unvaccinated group there were two COVID deaths of 22,000 people, so that allowed the company to tell the public the vaccine is 100% effective.”

“That’s a misnomer,” Mandel quickly replied. “100% effective in as far as … because I saw people on the news going ‘well, I got the vaccine, I still got COVID.’ They never said you won’t get COVID; they just said that it’ll kind of pull back the severity of it.”

Kennedy then reiterated, “What they’re saying, out of 22,000 people there was one COVID death among the vaccinated and there was two COVID deaths on the unvaccinated 22,000 people, and that allowed them to claim it’s 100% effective.”

“Effective for what? You can’t use the word effective,” Mandel exclaimed.

“You remember they kept saying it’s 100% effective?” Kennedy asked.

“No, they just said it will negate the severity. … The word ‘effective’ didn’t say you won’t get [it], I never heard ‘you won’t get COVID,'” Mandel added.

“It’s not 100% effective, okay, because if that’s the metric, what they really should have been telling us is that to prevent one COVID death, they need to give 22,000 vaccines.”

Mandel later summarized his position by explaining that many of the decisions made by the establishment were rushed due to panic.

“I believe a lot of mistakes were made, but we were panicked, and you know, we made decisions based on the amount of information that we had at the moment,” he said, adding that guidance evolved as more information came to fruition.

The TV-panel judge also plainly asked Kennedy if he was “anti-vaccine,” to which the politician replied, “If you show me a vaccine that was safe and effective, that did what it was supposed to do, I would have no problem with it.”

Mandel, a longtime comedian, has continually stepped out of his typical element in recent months to support free speech and open commentary.

In December 2023 Mandel appeared on the popular comedy podcast “Kill Tony” and praised the show for its free speech mentality.

“There’s no such thing as political correctness; it’s comedy! And now I live in L.A. and it’s it’s tough. I can’t say what I want to say,” he explained. “Only you give people a platform to do it right. It’s funny, it’s raw, [the audience isn’t] recording it, you can say anything on this show!” he yelled.

‘That’s a felony’: Sen. Rand Paul says Fauci deserves prison time for lying to Congress over COVID-19 mishandling | Blaze Media

Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said history will not look fondly on Dr. Anthony Fauci for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The senator’s comments were made on Monday during an interview, where he also suggested Fauci should be put behind bars for lying to Congress about the nature of the pandemic, according to Fox News Digital.

Paul said Fauci’s “actions in covering up the origins of the virus will go down in history as probably one of the most egregious and infamous public health decisions in our lifetime.”

“Every step of the way, Fauci has publicly protested and said ‘we never funded any gain-of-function research in Wuhan,’ but if you look at his private emails, it tells a different story,” Paul added.

Research involving gain of function has to do with genetically manipulating microorganisms to give them new functions and attributes.

Some of the experiments involved in the gain-of-function research could have made the illness more transmissible.

In September 2023, National Review published a report that laid out the details of how Fauci lied to Congress about the origin of the coronavirus. In an email dated January 27, 2020, Fauci allegedly received talking points from an aide concerning Wuhan Institute of Virology research that was, at the time, being funded by the National Institutes of Health.

Later that evening, Fauci gave a press conference about the emerging developments of COVID-19.

Fauci recently testified last week before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. The committee is currently trying to dig up details about the specific origins of the virus.

Fox News Digital reported that the committee’s chairman, Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), was alarmed that Fauci seemed unable to remember important decisions that were made during the early stages of the outbreak. The illness ultimately killed 1.1 million Americans.

“Lying to Congress is a felony punishable up to five years in prison. When he came and told me that he did not find gain-of-function research and move on — that was a bald-faced lie,” Paul said. “I gave him a chance to correct the record a month later when he came back to the committee, and he refused to do so.”

“And to this day, he has been dissembling and really trying to point blame away from him, but that’s a felony.”

Fox News Digital reached out to Fauci for comment on the development.

Florida stands alone against deadly COVID shots | Blaze Media

Florida for two years has recommended against taking the COVID-19 shots. Now state officials are calling for them to be taken off the market entirely. And yet, to this day, no other red state has joined the fight against a product that was shoved down our throats like nothing before in history and has likely led to untold numbers of people “dying suddenly.”

Nearly every red-state health department continues to serve as a conduit for the Centers for Disease Control. Public health officials echo and augment their maniacal guidance on COVID shots or the next dangerous product in the biomedical security pipeline. It’s as if the past two years of studies and accumulated data points showing COVID shots damage every corner of the body never existed.

Florida has already been warning about the cardiac problems associated with the vaccines. Now, state Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo is calling for the mRNA shots to be taken off the market because of DNA contaminants and possible carcinogens that have been found in the concoction.

Based on several research papers that came to light last year, Ladapo warned in an open letter to the heads of the CDC and FDA that Simian Virus 40 promoter/enhancer DNA and “lipid nanoparticle complexes” could pose a “heightened risk of DNA integration into human cells.”

“If the risks of DNA integration have not been assessed for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, these vaccines are not appropriate for use in human beings,” Ladapo wrote. “It is my hope that, in regard to COVID-19, the FDA will one day seriously consider its regulatory responsibility to protect human health, including the integrity of the human genome.”

The studies showing these shots are dangerous are so voluminous at this point that Ladapo referred to the vaccines as “the antichrist of all products.”

This comes on top of findings that the shots produce random junk proteins, that the spike causes autoimmune problems by binding to C4 immune cells, and that as many as half of the shot’s recipients potentially never stop producing spike proteins.

Last year, biologist Kevin McKernan found DNA plasmid contamination in the mRNA shots. He also found parts of the SV40 genetic sequence, which has been associated with cancer.

Global drug regulatory agencies have conceded the discovery but refuse to raise awareness or concern about the problems and have shown no desire to study the contamination issue further, let alone pull the shots from the market.

All the while, evidence is mounting that “excess deaths” remain elevated throughout the United States and other developed countries.

Yet despite everything we now know, Florida is still the only state to treat the shots like the abortions they are. Many red states simply parrot CDC guidance and even urge people to get more jabs!

For example, the Arkansas Department of Health, citing the CDC, recommends, “Everyone aged 5 years and older should get 1 dose of the updated Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to protect against serious illness from COVID-19.”

Alaska takes it a step further: “Protect yourself and your community by staying up to date with your vaccines. COVID-19 vaccines are recommended for everyone 6 months and older.”

Ditto for Indiana, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Iowa, Missouri, West Virginia, and Idaho.

Under its “updated COVID-19 vaccine information” page, the Tennessee Department of Health states:

… these vaccines protect against the COVID-19 variants currently circulating during the 2023-2024 respiratory virus season. Everyone 6 months and older should get a COVID-19 vaccine regardless of whether they’ve received any original COVID-19 vaccine(s). COVID-19 vaccines can help protect against severe illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19.

So clearly, this is not just a leftover page from 2021.

Shockingly, South Carolina public health authorities continue to recommend taking the new booster even after reviewing “the available data.” What data did they review, exactly?

The fact is that most red-state health directors are indistinguishable from Anthony Fauci and blue-state officials despite having Republican governors. They are more aligned with Trump Surgeon General Jerome Adams than Joe Ladapo.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton deserves credit for suing Pfizer for fraud. Unfortunately, Governor Greg Abbott has failed to lead on this issue, and the Texas Health Department is still promoting the shots, while the Texas Medical Board is sanctioning doctors who didn’t wear masks.

Thankfully, few people are still listening to this genocidal advice. More Americans are avoiding the shots, which is why Pfizer’s stock price is plummeting.

But it is still important for red-state legislatures to demand their governments stop promoting these shots. Pregnant women are being brainwashed to get the shots for themselves and their newborn children, and some might be inclined to listen to the government’s misinformation, given the heightened concern surrounding pregnancy. Authorities also continue to bomb vulnerable seniors with these shots.

Additionally, many red states have still not completely banned mandates, including hospital requirements for organ transplant patients or medical and nursing school students.

It’s also vital for states to cut ties with the CDC as it promotes new dangerous shots, such as the RSV jabs for kids and seniors. A few New Hampshire Republicans have introduced a bill to ban the state from promoting CDC policies.

Finally, red states need to oppose the shots in order to build momentum for much-needed liability reform so we can start holding these companies accountable, obtain authentic data on the safety and efficacy of existing vaccines, and abolish the concept of the CDC’s child immunization schedule as a one-size-fits-all mandate on every child born.

Even without mandates, we should never tolerate red-state governments promoting a death shot. Republican states would never promote abortions even though they are not mandated because they are murder. Killing the already born with a government-created poison is certainly not a lesser evil.

Fauci develops selective amnesia during COVID testimony; admits social distancing wasn’t scientific | Blaze Media

The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus grilled Anthony Fauci for 14 hours over two days this week as part of a closed-door deep dive into the origins of COVID-19, the rollout of novel vaccines, and controversial pandemic protocols.

The former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases claimed over 100 times just in the first day of questioning that he could “not recall” possibly damning information. Nevertheless, what Fauci ultimately willed himself to remember or admit was revelatory.

“Dr. Fauci’s transcribed interview revealed systemic failures in our public health system and shed light on serious procedural concerns with our public health authority,” wrote Committee Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio). “It is clear that dissenting opinions were often not considered or suppressed completely. Should a future pandemic arise, America’s response must be guided by scientific facts and conclusive data.”

Social distancing was a crock

Wenstrup noted after the second day of interviews that Fauci, who once cast himself as the physical incarnation of science, admitted that social distancing recommendations “forced on Americans ‘sort of just appeared’ and were likely not based on scientific data.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stressed in 2020 the need for adults and school children to “remain at least 6 feet apart,” suggesting that a failure to space students far apart presented the “highest risk.”

The CDC further recommended the use of face masks when the physical distance of six or more feet could not be maintained, confidently claiming that in its guidance that “maintaining physical distance (≥6 feet) lowers the risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection through exposure to infectious respiratory droplets and aerosols and is important, even if no symptoms are apparent.

The CDC did not relax its guidelines until summer 2022.

Dr. Scott Gottlieb, one of former President Donald Trump’s commissioners of the Food and Drug Administration, suggested as much in 2021, telling CBS News’ “Face the Nation” that the six-foot social distancing rule was “arbitrary” — a compromise between the CDC, which initially sought a recommendation of 10 feet, and an unnamed appointee in the Trump administration who suggested 10 feet was “inoperable.”

Gottlieb underscored that this arbitrary rule was “probably the single costliest recommendation that [the] CDC made,” reported Forbes.

Not a conspiracy theory

Wenstrup indicated that Fauci admitted this week the lab-leak theory “was, in fact, not a conspiracy theory.”

Previously, Fauci all but led the campaign to discredit the likely scenario that the unhygienic Chinese communist-run lab at the center of the pandemic — where patients zero conducted gain-of-function experiments on coronaviruses — was indeed the origin of the virus.

Cognizant of top immunologists’ concerns that COVID-19 was created in a lab his agency helped fund, Fauci commissioned, edited, and gave final approval to a 2020 paper suggesting the virus had a zoonotic origin.

Fauci failed to note his involvement with the impactful March 2020 study published the journal Nature, “The Proximal Origins of SARS-CoV-2,” when later citing it on the national stage to shore up his claim that it was unlikely the virus originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology ⁠— thereby buttressing the Chinese Communist Party’s denials.

Last year, the subcommittee identified two possible motives behind the apparent efforts by Fauci and his allies to downplay the lab-leak theory and vilify its proponents: The virologists either wanted to “defend China and play diplomat” or “lessen the likelihood of increased biosafety and laboratory regulations.”

A third possibility may have been to displace blame. After all, federal documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit revealed in 2023 that the NIAID, under former director Fauci, funded dangerous experiments on coronaviruses at the WIV in China’s Hubei province.

In his testimony this week, the subcommittee suggested that Fauci “played semantics with the definition of a ‘lab leak’ in an attempt to cover up the inaccurate conclusions of ‘Proximal Origin.’ It is impossible for him to defend ‘Proximal Origin’ as definitive while simultaneously acknowledging that a lab leak is possible.”

Additional admissions and denials

Fauci revealed not only that he failed to correct state-circulated junk science and advanced at least one erroneous presumption on his own but also that he:

  • agreed with Trump’s controversial order to restrict travel from China and other nations at the outset of the pandemic;
  • advised imposing vaccine mandates on college students;
  • did not bother to review proposals when signing off on every foreign and domestic NIAID grant; and
  • could not confirm whether his former agency had any mechanisms to conduct oversight of the foreign labs it bankrolls.

Wenstrup (R-Ohio) indicated further that the geriatric scientist was also willing to admit that the policies and mandates he championed “may unfortunately increase vaccine hesitancy for years to come.”

While making some telling admissions, the former bureaucrat doubled down on his past claim that the National Institutes of Health did not fund gain-of-function research in Wuhan.

Fauci also denied the allegations that he visited the CIA during the pandemic or influenced the agency’s investigation into the origins of the virus. The subcommittee claimed in September that “Fauci was escorted into Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Headquarters — without a record of entry — and participated in the analysis to ‘influence’ the Agency’s review.”

The committee will hear further testimony from Fauci later this year.

Lab leaks and accidents up 50% in UK since pandemic: Report | Blaze Media

Elements of the U.S. government remain reluctant to conclude whether the
unhygienic Chinese communist-run lab at the center of the pandemic — where patients zero conducted radical experiments on coronaviruses — was indeed the origin of the virus. Time and federal lawsuits may yet reveal whether alleged bribes helped muddy waters stateside.

A fact that does not depend upon the consensus of government agencies possibly affected by
Anthony Fauci’s apparent cover-up and the communist regime’s denial is that lab leaks happen. Not only do they happen, they recur frequently, both in countries like China, where biosafety is notoriously second-rate, as well as in Western nations.

This is especially true in Britain, where the Telegraph
recently highlighted a 50% rise in lab leaks and accidents since the emergence of COVID.

This massive increase in leaks is all the more alarming granted freedom of information requests to the British government, to universities in the U.K., and to government research bodies have revealed that lethal viruses and bacteria ranging from anthrax and rabies to Middle East respiratory syndrome are being stored nearby in large populations.

As demonstrated early in the COVID pandemic — where the Chinese regime
wittingly permitted hundreds of thousands of possibly infected travelers to travel internationally whilst limits were otherwise placed on domestic travel — a problem abroad can fast become a problem for America.

The Health and Safety Executive, a British government agency responsible for workplace health and safety, reportedly recorded 286 lab incidents or near misses between January 2010 and December 2019. That averages out to roughly 28 a year.

The COVID pandemic evidently did not chasten Britons sporting lab coats. Since January 2020, the HSE has recorded 156 incidents, or 42 lab incidents a year.

The HSE, which divulged this startling number only because it had been threatened with contempt of court by the Information Commissioner’s Office, refused to provide full details about some of the incidents because they involved viruses and bacteria listed in the Terrorism Act, reported the Telegraph.

Col. Hamish Stephen de Bretton-Gordon, a chemical weapons expert and former commander of NATO’s Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense Forces, said, “The apparent lab leaks in this country alone show we are all sitting on a ticking time bomb.”

“It seems highly likely that (Covid-19) was man-made, though also likely an accident at a lab, rather than deliberate,” Bretton-Gordon told the Telegraph. “The next pandemic is highly likely to be man-made, given the ease and unregulation of synthetic biology, and could kill millions of people.”

Even when regulations are in place, dangerous experiments continue behind closed doors.

While, for instance, the Obama administration announced a pause on the funding of any new studies involving gain-of-function experiments with influenza, SARS, and MERS viruses in 2014, the National Institutes of Health nevertheless approved continued GOF research on coronaviruses with funding from Peter Daszak’s scandal-plagued EcoHealth Alliance, which was in turn partly funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development.

The Telegraph noted that among the lab accidents revealed by freedom of information requests were:

  • a bird flu leak from a cracked test tube at a Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency lab in Hertfordshire, England;
  • an accident involving Neisseria meningitidis, a bacteria linked to life-threatening sepsis, which prompted an evacuation at the Manchester Royal Infirmary;
  • COVID breaches at an uncommissioned lab at the University of Liverpool;
  • the escape of a mutant mouse; and
  • an accidental injection of a lab worker with a modified form of Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease.
Just as concerning as Britain’s inability to keep its viruses locked up is the 2023
Global Biolabs Report suggesting that the U.K. actually has a relatively high biosafety score — 18 out of a possible 20. Australia and Canada rank highest, as both have a score of 20. India, the Ivory Coast, Gabon, and Saudi Arabia rank lowest, scoring 5, 3, 3, and 1, respectively.
The Global Biolabs Report noted that out of a possible biosecurity score of 18, Britain scores 17. The U.S., by way of comparison, has a perfect score. Again, India, the Ivory Coast, Gabon, and Saudi Arabia score poorly, 5, 1, 1, and 2, respectively.
A Chatham House report revealed there were lab-acquired infections in 309 individuals from 51 pathogens around the world between 2000 and 2021. In 16 incidents, pathogens reportedly escaped biocontainment facilities, reported the Telegraph.
Dr. David Harper, former chief scientist and director general for health improvement and protection in the British Department of Health, was greatly disturbed by the Telegraph’s findings, stating, “Accidental breaches in laboratory biocontainment can have potentially catastrophic consequences.”
“The accidents that are reported today without doubt provide an underestimate of the true scale of the problem,” continued Harper. “Greater transparency, with better reporting, documentation and analysis, is urgently required together with improved governance and oversight.”
The HSE recorded 376 incidents of release or escape of biological agents outside of labs.
Bretton-Gordon wrote, “There are around 4,000 laboratories and one million scientists who have the ability to manipulate the genome to create a devastating pathogen and at the moment nobody is looking too closely at them.”

Florida Surgeon General Ladapo urges ‘halt to the use of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines’ | Blaze Media

Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo is advocating a stoppage in the use of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.

“I am calling for a halt to the use of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines,” Ladapo declared in a statement on X. “The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have always played it fast and loose with COVID-19 vaccine safety, but their failure to test for DNA integration with the human genome — as their own guidelines dictate — when the vaccines are known to be contaminated with foreign DNA is intolerable.”

In a May 2023 letter to FDA Commissioner Robert Califf and then-CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, Ladapo had declared, “Your ongoing decision to ignore many of the risks associated with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, alongside your efforts to manipulate the public into thinking they are harmless, have resulted in deep distrust in the American health care system.”

Then in a December 2023 letter to Califf and CDC Director Mandy Cohen, Ladapo raised the issue of DNA fragments in the vaccines. “In addition to my previous letter, I am writing to you to address the recent discovery of host cell DNA fragments within the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines,” Ladapo wrote.

But in a letter of response later in December, Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, said that the agency “is confident in the quality, safety, and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines,” and that “with over a billion doses of the mRNA vaccines administered, no safety concerns related to residual DNA have been identified.” Marks wrote that “it is quite implausible that the residual small DNA fragments located in the cytosol could find their way into the nucleus through the nuclear membrane present in intact cells and then be incorporated into chromosomal DNA.”

Now Ladapo is calling for a halt in mRNA COVID-19 vaccine usage.

“DNA integration poses a unique and elevated risk to human health and to the integrity of the human genome, including the risk that DNA integrated into sperm or egg gametes could be passed onto offspring of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine recipients. If the risks of DNA integration have not been assessed for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, these vaccines are not appropriate for use in human beings,” he said in a statement, according to a Florida Department of Health press release. “Providers concerned about patient health risks associated with COVID-19 should prioritize patient access to non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and treatment.”

Bill Maher and Seth MacFarlane cross swords in heated debate over COVID vaccine efficacy: ‘Djokovic didn’t need it!’ | Blaze Media

Bill Maher brashly challenged “Family Guy” creator Seth McFarlane on the effectiveness and safety of the COVID vaccine.

Maher declared on his “Club Random” podcast: “I would think this country did not allow for natural immunity to be considered. And I know this is a subject dear to your heart. Like, even if you had the disease, you still had to get a vaccine. That’s powerfully stupid. They don’t do that in Europe.”

MacFarlane claimed that the theory of natural immunity for COVID-19 was “debunked.”

“Don’t you know people have had COVID four or five times? I do. That’s not natural immunity. There’s no immunity there. You’ve had COVID five times,” MacFarlane argued.

Maher pointed out that high-risk groups, such as the elderly and the obese, should be vaccinated against COVID-19. However, he contested that tennis star Novak Djokovic and NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers “didn’t need it!”

MacFarlane asked the “Real Time with Bill Maher” host what the “downside” of “getting a vaccine.”

Maher fired back, “Well, the fact that you don’t even have a clue what’s the cost of getting a vaccine that you don’t know the answer to that. You completely want to shut your eyes to the fact that there are repercussions to all medical interventions, including a vaccine, including all vaccines.”

“They come, they say side effects, just like every medication does. You can see it in the literature. They can’t write it on their back on the vaccine. So you have to dig them,” the liberal HBO star ranted. “And of course, there is a vaccine court because so many people have been injured.”

Maher noted, “This is not a screed to say don’t do vaccines. I’m not against doing vaccines. I’m against doing vaccines that I don’t think I need. I should be able to decide that for myself inside my body.”

In February, a study was published that declared that natural immunity provides “at least as high, if not higher” levels of protection against COVID-19 as two doses of an mRNA vaccine. The research analyzing 65 studies from 19 different countries was published in The Lancet – one of the oldest and most respected medical journals in the world.

In November, a study found that people with natural immunity to COVID-19 have better protection against the respiratory disease than those who received mRNA vaccines.
