Media sounds alarm over new Eris COVID variant, pushes for Americans to mask up

The media is sounding the alarm over the newest COVID variant – Eris or EG.5. The mainstream media is already making a push for Americans to mask up as the new variant begins to spread.

The latest COVID variant is called Eris – named after the Greek goddess of strife and discord. The new strain is a descendant of the Omicron variant.

The World Health Organization noted, “EG.5 is a descendent lineage of XBB.1.9.2, which has the same spike amino acid profile as XBB.1.5.”

The WHO stated that EG.5 is a “variant of interest.”

NBC News reported that EG.5 symptoms are “unlikely to differ much from those caused by other omicron subvariants,” which would “include fever, cough, fatigue, muscle aches, and headache.”

Scott Roberts, MD, a Yale Medicine infectious diseases specialist, said Eris is not much different from other recent strains, but “there is some extra degree of immune evasiveness because of a slight difference in genotype.”

Yale Medicine stated, “However, EG.5 does have one new mutation in its spike protein (the part that facilitates virus entry into the host cell) that can potentially evade some of the immunity acquired after an infection or vaccination.”

Roberts admitted, “I am not aware of data that suggests EG.5 leads to worse cases of COVID-19 compared to prior variants.”

NBC News noted, “Experts agree that many people probably have underlying protection from severe disease already.”

The first case of EG.5 was reported on Feb. 17, 2023.

The CDC reported that EG.5 was the dominant SARS-CoV-2 strain in the third week of August in the U.S., responsible for 20.6% of cases of COVID-19 in the United States. The second most contracted variant that week at 13.3% of cases, was FL 1.5.1, known as Fornax.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that COVID cases have increased by 14% in the past week and COVID deaths are up 8%.

According to Worldometer, the seven-day average of COVID cases was nearly 27,000 as of Aug. 18, compared to exactly a year ago when it was over 768,000. The pandemic high was 3.4 million COVID-19 cases on Jan. 26, 2022.

The legacy media is pushing for Americans to start wearing masks with the new Eris variant swirling around the country.

The New York Times advised, “As for how to behave in response to this trend, that’s a tricky question. Many experts still recommend wearing a mask in crowded indoor settings, but they know that not everyone will want to do so. If you’re at high risk for serious illness, you might want to mask up at the grocery store and avoid eating indoors at restaurants. Other people might just want to wear a mask at the airport, to avoid getting sick during that big summer vacation.”

The Washington Post advocated, “Vaccines and boosters still should be encouraged, as should safe social practices such as wearing face masks and keeping rooms well ventilated, health experts say.”

The TODAY show recommended “wearing a mask in crowded, indoor spaces.”

National Geographic published an article titled: “The EG.5 COVID variant is spiking in the U.S. Is it time to mask up?”

“We should take all of these subvariants very seriously. Using testing kits, when symptoms suggest it could be COVID-19, and masking up and staying home if COVID positive, can slow the spread of the new variant. We need to minimize the spread of the virus as much as we can,” Angela Rasmussen – a virologist at Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization in Saskatoon, Canada – told the outlet.

The U.K.’s Independent published an article with the headline: “New COVID wave has begun and masks should be worn again, scientists warn.”

A New York hospital has already reinstated its mask mandate because of the new variant.

Syracuse’s Upstate Hospital announced this week: “Effective immediately, mandatory masking is required by all staff, visitors and patients in clinical areas of Upstate University Hospital, Upstate Community Hospital, and ambulatory clinical spaces.”

The updated COVID vaccines are expected to be released this fall by Pfizer and Moderna, and are said to combat the Eris variant.

“hese new results, which show that our updated COVID-19 vaccine generates a robust immune response against the rapidly spreading EG.5 and FL.1.5.1 strains, reflects our updated vaccine’s ability to address emerging COVID-19 threats,” Moderna President Stephen Hoge, MD, said in a press release.

A Pfizer spokesperson told CNBC that the company’s upcoming shot “effectively neutralized” several omicron variants, including Eris and XBB.1.5, in a recent study on mice.

FDA notes that it has not said ivermectin is safe or effective for COVID-19 prevention or treatment

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently noted on social media that the agency has not declared that ivermectin is safe or effective for treatment or prevention of COVID-19.

“We’ve seen lots of chatter about ivermectin in the last week. Some of what you’re seeing in videos and social media posts isn’t true,” the FDA wrote. “Although FDA has approved ivermectin for certain uses in humans and animals, it has not authorized or approved ivermectin for use in preventing or treating COVID-19, nor has the agency stated that it is safe or effective for that use,” the FDA continued.

“Health care professionals generally may choose to prescribe an approved human drug for an unapproved use when they judge that the unapproved use is medically appropriate for an individual patient,” another post read. “As always, talk to your health care provider about available COVID-19 vaccines and treatment options. Based on your health history, your provider can help determine the best option for you,” another post stated.

There has been debate over whether ivermectin should be used to tackle COVID-19.

The COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel recommends against using the drug to treat COVID-19, according to covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov. “Trials have failed to find a clinical benefit from the use of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19 in outpatients,” the site claims.

But the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance suggests using ivermectin to address COVID-19. “A growing evidence base of dozens of studies around the world demonstrates ivermectin’s unique and highly potent ability to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication and aid in recovery from COVID-19. Based on this evidence, and on first-hand clinical observations, the FLCCC recommends its use, as part of a combination therapy, in all stages of COVID-19,” the group states.

A note at the bottom of the FLCCC’s website notes that “our protocol is not medical advice – and in no way should anyone infer that we, even though we are physicians, or anyone appearing in any content on this website are practicing medicine, it is for educational purposes only.”

‘Absolutely exculpatory’: Lawyer claims special counsel may not have reviewed key documents before indicting Trump

‘Absolutely exculpatory’: Lawyer claims special counsel may not have reviewed key documents before indicting Trump

The lawyer representing former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik said special counsel Jack Smith’s office requested documents “absolutely exculpatory” to former President Donald Trump only after indicting him.

The documents were originally handed over to Smith’s office on July 23, CBS News reported, citing emails confirming their receipt.

A source close to Kerik’s legal team said at the time that they believed the records, which include sworn affidavits from people raising concerns about the integrity of the 2020 presidential contest, show there was a genuine effort to investigate claims of voter fraud in the last election.

But on Wednesday, Aug. 2, a prosecutor working in Smith’s office reached out to Kerik’s attorney, Tim Parlatore, and requested the same documents, which he described as “absolutely exculpatory,” that he had already sent.

“They bear directly on the essential element of whether Rudy Giuliani, and therefore Donald Trump, knew that their claims of election fraud were false,” Parlatore told CBS News. “Good-faith reliance upon claims of fraud, even if they later turn out to be false, is very different from pushing fraud claims that you know to be false at the time.”

Parlatore’s explanation of the documents touches on a key aspect of Smith’s case and the legal debate surrounding the indictment: Did Trump know his claims about the election were false, or did he truly believe there was widespread fraud that flipped the election outcome? And if he did truly believe that, are his assertions about the election protected by the First Amendment?

The Daily Beast first reported last month that Parlatore had turned over the cache of documents.

“I have shared all of these documents, appropriately 600MB, mostly pdfs, with the Special Counsel and look forward to sitting down with them in about two weeks to discuss,” Parlatore said in a statement on July 25.

That meeting has still not happened.

A representative for the special counsel declined to comment when asked by CBS News.

Sen. Rand Paul files another criminal referral with DOJ alleging Fauci lied outright in Senate testimony

Sen. Rand Paul files another criminal referral with DOJ alleging Fauci lied outright in Senate testimony

Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky is once again pushing for Anthony Fauci, former director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, to face legal consequences for allegedly lying to Congress.

Paul announced Saturday that he had sent an “official criminal referral” to the Department of Justice, citing a Feb. 1, 2020, email wherein Fauci indicated that gain-of-function research had indeed been under way at “Wuhan University” — a private admission that Paul indicated contradicts the former NIAID director’s sworn statements before Congress.

TheBlaze previously reported that the Feb. 1 email, recently released by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, was addressed to Robert Kadlec (then assistant secretary of Health and Human Services), Lawrence Kerr (then director of the Office of Pandemics and Emerging Threats within HHS), Brian Harrison (HHS chief of staff), and Garrett Grigsby (then director of Office of Global Affairs Department of HHS).

In the email, Fauci stated as a “fact that scientists in Wuhan University are known to have been working on gain-of-function experiments to determine the molecular mechanisms associated with bat viruses adapting to human infection.”

Among the scientists known for their dangerous gain-of-function experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology was Ben Hu, an EcoHealth Alliance subcontractor among the COVID-19 patients zero whose work was funded in part by Fauci’s NIAID.

Whereas Fauci was privately willing to admit to elements of the medical establishment that deadly gain-of-function research was being conducted in Wuhan, he told Congress another story altogether.

Fauci told Paul during a Senate hearing in May 2021, “The NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

Fauci doubled down when Paul pressed him on the issue again in July 2021.

Paul asked, “Dr. Fauci, knowing that it is a crime to lie to Congress, do you wish to retract your statement of May 11, where you claimed that the NIH never funded gain-of-function research?”

Fauci answered, “Sen. Paul, I have never lied before the Congress. And I do not retract that statement.”

In addition to suggesting that it was the senator from Kentucky who had been lying, Fauci told Paul, “You don’t know what you’re talking about, quite frankly.”


Exchange between Sen. Rand Paul and Dr. Anthony Fauci

youtu.be

It turns out, Paul, a graduate of Duke University School of Medicine and a practicing doctor before his election to Congress, had known what he was talking about.

Lawrence A. Tabak, acting director of the National Institutes of Health, admitted in an Oct. 20, 2021, letter to Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), that the NIH had in fact funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab.

Concerning Fauci’s own admission that gain-of-function research had been conducted in Wuhan, Paul tweeted Saturday, “This directly contradicts everything he said in committee hearing to me, denying absolutely that they funded any gain of function, and it’s absolutely a lie.”

This is not the first time Paul has implored the DOJ to hold Fauci to account.

Paul wrote to Attorney General Merrick Garland in July 2021, urging him to open an investigation into Fauci’s May 11, 2021, testimony, reported the Washington Examiner. Fauci was never charged.

In response to Paul’s latest announcement, Richard Ebright, a board of governors professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Rutgers University, wrote, “Fauci flagrantly and repeatedly violated US-government policies implemented to prevent a lab-generated pandemic, likely caused a lab-generated pandemic, and, to evade accountability for his malfeasance, committed fraud, conspiracy to defraud, and perjury. Prosecution is overdue.”

Since the U.S. Senate cannot bring charges against Fauci, it is up to the Biden DOJ to act.

Extra to allegedly misleading Congress about the gain-of-function research, recently released emails also appear to indicate Fauci worked ardently to set the narrative that COVID-19 was not the accidental byproduct of a leak at the Chinese lab, but rather the result of a natural leap from an animal to humans.

He reportedly went so far as to commission and edit the impactful March 2020 study published in the journal Nature, “The Proximal Origins of SARS-CoV-2,” which he used on the national stage to downplay the lab-leak theory.

Dr. Fauci is still receiving taxpayer-funded security and limo — treatment Sen. Paul says is reserved for former presidents

Dr. Fauci is still receiving taxpayer-funded security and limo — treatment Sen. Paul says is reserved for former presidents

Fox News revealed on Monday that Dr. Anthony Fauci is receiving taxpayer-funded security despite retiring from government service last year.

What is the background?

Last month, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) wrote Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, requesting information “regarding Dr. Fauci’s employment status and receipt of taxpayer-funded benefits.” Though Fauci touted his plan to retire from government service at the conclusion of 2022, Paul wrote that “it is not clear if that is in fact the case.”

“This raises questions about Dr. Fauci’s current employment status and whether he is still receiving certain taxpayer-funded benefits associated with active public service, such as legal counsel and protective services,” Paul said.

What is happening now?

Fox News host Jesse Watters reported that sources told him Fauci was still receiving “’round-the-clock,” government-provided security despite now being a private citizen. His staff followed up with the tip, filing a Freedom of Information Act request.

As a result, the U.S. marshals confirmed that, at the request of Attorney General Merrick Garland, Dr. Fauci is receiving taxpayer-funded security, which includes a limousine and “follow car,” Fox News reported. Documents obtained through the FOIA request showed that the security detail will last through September 2023, but it may be extended.

It’s not clear how much the detail is costing American taxpayers.

Appearing on Watters’ show, Paul confirmed the development.

“We asked HHS early in the summer. We asked is he still working and does he have this limo and does he have a driver and does he have a security detail?” Paul explained. “HHS actually came back to us and said they haven’t been paying for it since January. But then we discovered that Fox did a Freedom of Information Act and a judge forced them to say that, well, while HHS wasn’t directly funding it, the U.S. Marshals were funding it.

“Can you imagine? We asked the government, ‘Are you funding his limo and his driver and his security detail?’ And they say, ‘Oh, we’re not doing it; somebody else is doing it and then we’re reimbursing them’,” Paul continued.

“So it’s a terrible example of the government lying to its representatives and to the people,” the senator declared. “But also, why is a retired guy, the only retired official I know of that gets this kind of treatment is a former president.”

Paul said it remains unclear whether Fauci is also receiving government-provided legal counsel.

New bombshell email shows Anthony Fauci warning about ‘gain-of-function experiments’ at Wuhan lab, Rand Paul reacts: ‘Orchestrated a cover-up’

Dr. Anthony Fauci previously admitted that it was a “fact” that scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were known to be conducting “gain-of-function experiments” on bat viruses, according to a newly surfaced email.

The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released an email from Fauci dated Feb. 1, 2020. The email was sent to Robert Kadlec (then assistant secretary of Health and Human Services), Lawrence Kerr (then director of the Office of Pandemics and Emerging Threats within the HHS), Brian Harrison (HHS chief of staff), and Garrett Grigsby (then director of Office of Global Affairs Department of the HHS).

Fauci began the email by discussing a meeting with Jeremy Farrar – the director of the Wellcome Trust, an influential global charitable foundation focused on medical research. The meeting also included “highly credible scientists” and then-National Institutes of Health director Dr. Francis Collins.

Fauci said the scientists were “concerned about the fact that upon viewing the sequences of several isolates of the nCoV, there were mutations in the virus that would be most unusual to have evolved naturally in the bats and that there was a suspicion that this mutation was intentionally inserted.”

“The suspicion was heightened by the fact that scientists in Wuhan University are known to have been working on gain-of-function experiments to determine the molecular mechanisms associated with bat viruses adapting to human infection, and the outbreak originated in Wuhan,” Fauci wrote.

“Upon considerable discussion, some of the scientists felt more strongly about this possibility, but two others felt differently,” said Fauci – who previously served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “They felt that it was entirely conceivable that this could have evolved naturally even though these mutations have never been seen in a bat virus before.”

Fauci continued, “The reasons for each side of the argument are too complicated to bother you with.”

The former chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden concluded that a large “internationally credible organization,” especially the World Health Organization, should investigate the Wuhan lab-leak theory. Fauci said Farrar and Collins would contact Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the WHO.

Fauci added, “They pass no judgment at all at this point and feel that the group’s mandate should be: ‘What are the evolutionary origins of 2019-nCov, important for future risk assessment and understanding of animal/human coronaviruses.'”

Fauci claimed, “In this way, there is no assumption of foul play or guilt on anyone’s part and merely an intense scientific look at the evolutionary origins of this virus. Where that leads remains to be seen.”

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) commented on Fauci’s exposed email: “In case you needed any more proof Fauci orchestrated a cover-up… Now ask yourself why…”

Paul has clashed often with Fauci about NIH-funded gain-of-function experiments conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

During a Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions regarding the pandemic response in May 2021, Fauci responded to questioning by the Republican senator from Kentucky, “Sen. Paul, with all due respect, you are entirely, entirely and completely incorrect. The NIH has not ever, and does not now, fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute.”

During a July 2021 Senate Health Committee hearing on the federal government’s COVID-19 response, Paul challenged Fauci, “Dr. Fauci, as you are aware, it is a crime to lie to Congress. On your last trip to our committee on May 11, you stated that the NIH ‘has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.'”

Paul mentioned the relationship between Dr. Shi, a bat coronavirus expert from the Wuhan lab, and the EcoHealth Alliance that had received funding from the National Institutes of Health.

Paul said, “And yet, gain-of-function research was done entirely in the Wuhan Institute by Dr. Shi and was funded by the NIH.”

Fauci responded, “Sen. Paul, I have never lied before the Congress, and I do not retract that statement.”

Fauci has pushed the zoonotic origin theory throughout the pandemic, while dismissing the possibility of a lab leak as a “conspiracy theory.”

In January 2020, Kristian Andersen – a virologist at Scripps Department of Immunology and Microbiology – wrote Fauci an email noting that he and three other scientists “all find the genome inconsistent with evolutionary theory” of the coronavirus origin.

In March 2020, a group of scientists published a letter titled: “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2.” Fauci approved and often cited the letter, which condemned the “conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin,” and the paper declared, “We do not believe any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible.”

This week, the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic proclaimed that the letter was a “cover-up” and the authors believed that accepting the lab-leak theory would cause “unnecessary harm to science in general and science in China in particular.”

In 2016, health officials at the NIH and NIAID expressed concern about gain-of-function experiments at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, according to surfaced government emails.

Scientists involved in Fauci’s apparent ‘cover-up’ of possible COVID lab origin admit effort was ‘political,’ out of fear of a ‘sh** show from China’

Scientists involved in Fauci’s apparent ‘cover-up’ of possible COVID lab origin admit effort was ‘political,’ out of fear of a ‘sh** show from China’

Anthony Fauci
told Americans to “follow the science.”

Following the facts, the Republican-led Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic has found that Fauci, with the help of then-National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins and a cadre of willing virologists, “employed fatally flawed science” to “avoid blaming China for the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The subcommittee indicated that to date, it has received over 8,000 pages of documents and over 25 hours of testimony from those involved in the impactful March 2020 study published the journal
Nature, “The Proximal Origins of SARS-CoV-2.”

Despite
privately discussing the prospect that the natural-origins theory was rubbish, the paper’s four official authors — Kristian Andersen, W. Ian Lipkin, Edward Holmes, and Robert Garry — concluded with dogmatic certainty, “We do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible.”

The authors did not specify in the publication’s ethics declarations that then-National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, who oversaw the funding of coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, commissioned and edited the paper — which congressional investigators have since
determined he did.

This is all the more troubling because Fauci repeatedly cited this paper on the national stage, including once from the White House podium, to bolster his and Collins’ preferred zoonotic origins theory.

On Monday, the subcommittee
published additional damning correspondences between the paper’s official authors, noting, “This is one of the single most impactful and influential scientific papers in history … express[ing] conclusions that were not based on sound science nor in fact, but instead on assumptions.”

The subcommittee concluded that this is “the anatomy of a cover-up.”

It appears from the correspondence that those who worked ardently to set the narrative that COVID-19 was not the accidental byproduct of a leak at the Chinese lab where dangerous experiments were conducted on coronaviruses knew their cause was “political” and sought not jeopardize “international harmony.”

The subcommittee highlighted Monday how Rambaut, communicating with his coauthors over a private Slack channel on Feb. 2, 2020, wrote, “Given the sh** show that would happen if anyone serious accused the Chinese of even accidental release, my feeling is we should say that given there is no evidence of a specifically engineered virus, we cannot possible distinguish between natural evolution and escape so we are content with ascribing it to natural processes.”

In reply to Rambaut’s suggestion that they run a smoke screen for a regime that may be responsible for the manufacture and spread of a pathogen that killed millions worldwide, Andersen said, “Yup, I totally agree that that’s a very reasonable conclusion. Although I hate when politics is injected into science – but its impossible not to, especially given the circumstances. We should be sensitive to that.”

The subcommittee released another email sent by Ron Fouchier — one of the scientists who was on the Feb. 1, 2020, conference call with Fauci and the paper’s future authors — wherein he too expressed concern about the possibility of China facing any fallout over the pandemic.

Fouchier claimed, “An accusation that nCoV-2019 might have been engineered and released into the environment by humans (accidental or intentional) would … do unnecessary harm to science in general and science in China in particular.”

Collins, also on the conference call, intimated in a Feb. 2, 2020, email that a united front behind the natural-origin theory “is needed, or the voices of conspiracy will quickly dominate, doing great potential harm to science and international harmony.”

The NIH under Collins
long provided federal funds to EcoHealth Alliance run by fellow lab-leak theory denier British zoologist Peter Daszak. EcoHealth’s subcontractor Ben Hu, whom TheBlaze previously noted was the WIV’s lead on gain-of-function research on SARS-like coronaviruses, happened to be among the three lab researchers first infected with COVID-19 at the Wuhan lab in November 2019.

The subcommittee identified two possible motives behind the apparent efforts to downplay the lab-leak theory: The virologists either wanted to “defend China and play diplomat” or “lessen the likelihood of increased biosafety and laboratory regulations.”

The subcommittee did not raise the possibility that those in Fauci’s orbit might have also wanted to displace the possible culpability that elements of the Western medical administrative state might share with Chinese communists over the deaths of millions.

‘He caused a lot of injury’: RFK Jr. says he would prosecute Fauci as president and ‘not hold off’ if ‘crimes were committed’

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. put Anthony Fauci on notice during his interview with Jesse Watters Monday, stating that as president, he would sic his attorney general on the retired National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director “and not hold off” if criminality on his part could be demonstrated.

The Fox News host first raised the matter, saying, “You think Fauci is the devil. Would you prosecute him if you ever got to the White House?”

“If there were crimes that he committed, of course,” said Kennedy, currently trailing President Joe Biden by
nearly 50 points in the polls. “I would tell the attorney general to prosecute him and not hold off.”

“Do I think that he committed crimes? I think he caused a lot of injury … particularly, by withholding early treatment from Americans. You know we racked up the highest death count in the world? We only have 4.2% of the globe’s population but we had 16% of the COVID deaths in this country and that was from bad policy.”

“There’s countries that did the opposite of what we did, that provided Ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, other early treatments to their populations, and had 1/200th of our death rate. So there are many things that we did wrong in this country,” continued Kennedy. “Some of the things that were done by public health officials at that time that they knew that they would be harmful.”

Kennedy has made no bones in recent years about his conviction that Fauci has played a leading role in the “global war on democracy and public health.”

The presidential candidate’s book, “The Real Anthony Fauci,” came out in 2021, detailing how, contra to the notion manufactured by the “pharma-funded mainstream media” that Fauci is a hero, “He is anything but.”

In the book, Kennedy accused Fauci of various misdeeds and failures, including:

  • championing an approach to “ending an infectious disease contagion [that] had no public health precedent and anemic scientific support” that was “grossly ineffective,” as reflected in “the world’s highest body counts”;
  • working to suppress and smear viable alternatives to COVID-19 vaccines that were reportedly relatively inexpensive and historically safe;
  • wielding “formidable power to fortify the pharmaceutical industry’s explosive growth and its corrosive influence over our government regulatory agencies and public health policy” for five decades;
  • managing the NIAID “much more like a drug company than any sort of agency to advance science”;
  • treating American and African children “as collateral damage … in pursuit of profitable pharmacological solutions for steadily declining public health”; and
  • promoting purported remedies such as quarantines “often more lethal than the diseases they pretend to treat.”

RFK Jr. further indicated to Watters that the Biden administration has been reluctant to punish China over the alleged Wuhan lab leak because American institutions helped bankroll the deadly research in the first place and transferred NIH-funded bioweapons to the Wuhan Institute of Virology,
reported the Daily Caller.

TheBlaze
previously noted that federal documents recently obtained via a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit revealed that the NIAID under Fauci and the United States Agency for International Development funded an EcoHealth Alliance subcontractor’s work on coronaviruses to the tune of $41 million.

That subcontractor was reportedly Ben Hu, who ran lead on gain-of-function research on SARS-like coronaviruses at the Wuhan lab and was one of the first infected with COVID-19 in November 2019.

The Wall Street Journal
reported that much of Hu’s research “focused on modifying coronaviruses so they could bind to human cells. The stated purpose of the research was to identify viruses that could lead to a pandemic and facilitate the development of a vaccine.”

Fauci
told Congress in May 2021 that the National Institutes of Health “has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology” and made similar denials on multiple other occasions.

Then-Principal Deputy Director of the NIH Lawrence A. Tabak appeared to undercut Fauci’s denial,
writing to Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) on Oct. 20, 2021, that EcoHealth’s “limited experiment” in Wuhan tested whether “spike proteins from naturally occurring bat coronaviruses circulating in China were capable of binding to the human ACE2 receptor in a mouse model.”

These mice “became sicker,” according to Tabak, who added, “EcoHealth failed to report this finding right away, as was required by the terms of the grant.”

Records recently obtained by the Republican-led Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic further revealed that David M. Morens, a top adviser to Fauci at the NIH, was admittedly trying to keep Fauci’s “fingerprints on origin stories” amidst an apparent effort by the NIAID director and his colleagues to downplay the possibility that a leak at the lab they funneled taxpayer money to might have been the epicenter of the pandemic that killed millions of Americans.

After Kennedy suggested to Watters that the CIA was involved in the research at the Wuhan lab and that “USAID … was functioning as the CIA surrogate,” the Fox News host asked the 69-year-old son of assassinated former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of assassinated former President John F. Kennedy whether the CIA still has the ability to execute political assassinations.

“I couldn’t say yes or no to that question. I think that there is — I couldn’t say. Even with my uncle’s assassination, you can’t really say the CIA killed John F. Kennedy. You can say members of the CIA, people working for the CIA were definitely involved. People like E. Howard hunt, David Atlee Phillips. David Morales. People who have confessed to it. Many of them death bed confessions. They may have been operating on a rogue basis, rather than the CIA doing it,” answered Kennedy.

‘There’s something going on’: Scientists acknowledge the severity of ‘long vax’ as well as their reluctance to pursue research that might furnish skeptics with a ‘sensational headline’

‘There’s something going on’: Scientists acknowledge the severity of ‘long vax’ as well as their reluctance to pursue research that might furnish skeptics with a ‘sensational headline’

Science, the peer-reviewed academic journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, has just published damning admissions substantiating fears about COVID-19 vaccines that would have up until recently been verboten to express online.

Just as there is allegedly “long COVID,” in which persons who contracted the virus suffer various symptoms long after they should have recovered, the American medical establishment now appears comfortable admitting there is similarly “long vax.”

After the obligatory claim that COVID-19 vaccines have saved lives, Science correspondents Gretchen Vogel and Jennifer Couzin-Frankel noted that COVID-19 vaccines aren’t just causing side effects, such as “abnormal blood clotting and heart inflammation,” but have been linked to “a debilitating suite of symptoms that resembles Long Covid.”

“You see one or two patients and you wonder if it’s a coincidence,” Dr. Anne Louis Oaklander, neurologist and researcher at Harvard Medical School, told the journal. “But by the time you’ve seen 10, 20. …. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”

Vogel and Couzin-Frankel suggested that symptoms of vaccine fallout “can include persistent headaches, severe fatigue, and abnormal heart rate and blood pressure. They appear hours, days, or weeks after vaccination and are difficult to study. But researchers and clinicians are increasingly finding some alignment with known medical conditions.”

One of these conditions is reportedly small fiber neuropathy, whereby “nerve damage can cause tingling or electric shock-like sensations, burning pain, and blood circulation problems.”

Another is postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), which can manifest as “muscle weakness, swings in heart rate and blood pressure, fatigue, and brain fog.”

The National Institutes of Health noted in December 2022 that researchers examining linkages between COVID-19 vaccines and “uncommon side effects” had found “a slight increase in the number of people who have experienced postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) following vaccination.”

Some patients are reportedly unfortunate enough to suffer “features of one or both conditions.”

Peter Marks, director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, which oversees vaccines, told the journal, “We can’t rule out rare cases” where vaccines have triggered small fiber neuropathy or POTS and further stressed the importance of health care providers taking “seriously the concept [of] a vaccine side effect.”

However, Marks appears to be worried that admitting vaccines are hurting people in the long term could give rise to a “sensational headline” that would, as Vogel and Couzin-Frankel phrased it, “mislead the public.”

The article alludes to the German health minister’s recent acknowledgement that COVID-19 vaccines, which were similarly de facto mandatory in his country, have been shown to result in long-term consequences.

Karl Lauterbach, the minister in question, reportedly told Christian Sievers of the ZDF Heute Journal that what has happened to people affected by vaccine injuries “is absolutely dismaying and every single case is one too many. I honestly feel very sorry for these people. There are severe disabilities, and some of them will be permanent,” adding “1 in 10,000 is the frequency of serious side effects.”

DW reported that the Paul Ehrlich Institute, the German Federal Institute for Vaccines and Biomedical Drugs, “has registered 333,492 cases of suspected harmful vaccination side effects and 50,833 suspected cases of serious side effects since the start of the vaccination campaign: a reporting rate of 1.78 per 1,000 vaccine doses.”

Vogel and Couzin-Frankel stressed that researchers studying the long-term fallout of the vaccines, such as Harlan Krumholz, a cardiologist at Yale University, are worried about “undermining trust.”

Krumholz reportedly indicated he was initially reluctant to “dive in” for fear of bringing to light truths that might be seized upon by vaccine critics.

Notwithstanding his reservations, Krumholz said, “I’m persuaded that there’s something going on” with these side effects. “It’s my obligation, if I truly am a scientist, to have an open mind and learn if there’s something that can be done.”

Krumholz and Yale immunologist Akiko Iwasaki have started a post-vaccination study called LISTEN, for Listen to Immune, Symptom and Treatment Experiences Now, reported the New York Post.

They are attempting to “understand long COVID, post-vaccine adverse events and the corresponding immune responses by collecting information about symptoms and medical history from participants.”

Theirs is not the only show in town, however.

Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center analyzed a health database of nearly 300,000 people in Los Angeles, all of whom had received at least one COVID-19 shot.

“They found that within 90 days after a shot, the rate of POTS-related symptoms was about 33% higher than in the 3 months before; 2581 people were diagnosed with POTS-related symptoms after vaccination, compared with 1945 beforehand,” Vogel and Couzin-Frankel indicated.

Some researchers suspect that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, delivered by the vaccines, may be responsible for “long vax,” as it may instigate an immune overreaction and destabilize ACE2 signaling.

Although the specifics of how precisely the vaccines are upending some patients’ lives are presently being worked out, Lawrence Purpura, an infectious disease specialist at Columbia University, is certain about the consequences.

Postvaccination illness is “a long, relentless disease,” said Purpura.

In recent years, amid a broader effort to censor down vaccine skepticism, the Biden White House has pressured social media companies to silence those who raised concerns about the short- and long-term effects of COVID-19 vaccines, including Tucker Carlson.

While curbing dissenting views and squelching expressions of concern, the Biden administration imposed vaccine mandates, knowing full well there were “breakthrough” infections despite COVID-19 vaccination, contrary to how they were sold to the public.

Rogan says the 2020 election was rigged by the media: ‘It’s wild sh** and no one cares’

Joe Rogan is unconvinced that the 2020 presidential election was rigged per se, but is certain the liberal corporate media meddled to guarantee a particular outcome.

In the July 4 episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the titular podcaster, joined by comedian Tom Segura, broached the subject of possible voter fraud in both recent and forthcoming elections after discussing which among the various controversial remarks made by Roseanne Barr on Theo Von’s recent “This Past Weekend” podcast got it yanked from YouTube.

Barr had questioned how President Joe Biden could have won the 2020 election with “the most votes of any presidential candidate in history” while also winning a record-low number of counties.

“I don’t know if there was some shenanigans with the election. I guarantee you it wasn’t zero percent,” said Rogan. “How much voter fraud was there? It’s never zero.”

In pursuit of greater clarity, Rogan appealed to a USA Today “fact-check,” which stated, “With over 81 million votes, Biden received the most votes of any presidential candidate in history. It is also true that he won a record-low number of counties – but counties vary by population size, from those with a few hundred people to others with millions of residents, so county wins don’t correlate with the popular vote.”

This appeared to momentarily assuage the host’s concerns, but then he called to mind a recent security assessment of Georgia’s Dominion voting machines that allegedly found “dangerous vulnerabilities,” then pulled up a CNN report noting the software won’t be updated until after the 2024 election.

While still reluctant to conclude the election was meaningfully steered one way or the other by possible hackers or other rogue actors, Rogan stated that even if the 2020 election wasn’t rigged in the manner suggested by former President Donald Trump, “for sure it was rigged by the media. For sure.”

“Just the Hunter Biden laptop case and the Russia collusion case — just those two things, just those two narratives that they knew were not true, that they pushed out in front of everybody and that we know … had to do with trying to get rid of Trump,” said Rogan.

Segura chimed in, “One overreporting and one underreporting.”

“That is, in many ways … that’s manipulation. It’s manipulation of a public narrative. It’s manipulation of what the people think is real and not real,” said Rogan. “Everybody thought he was in collusion with Russia. It’s what everybody thought.”

The complete Durham Report released in May revealed that the FBI’s Russian collusion investigation into then-candidate Trump was from the get-go a stitch-up predicated upon a false claim, originally approved and advanced by failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Durham indicated the FBI “did not and could not corroborate any of the substantive allegations” made in the infamous Steele dossier — allegations long laundered with other baseless claims by the liberal media and top Democrats, resulting in some outfits receiving once-esteemed awards.

Rogan cited Fox News as the only major mainstream media outlet that didn’t overwhelmingly push the false narrative, adding that “everybody else was pushing it.”

“It was sold hard,” said Segura.

“And it was not true,” added Rogan. “And it’s proven not true. And there’s the Hunter Biden laptop thing, which they knew was true and they said wasn’t true. … They stopped people from sharing it on social media. They stopped people from sharing it on Twitter. Zuckerberg sat in that very chair and said the FBI contacted Facebook and told them it was ‘Russian disinformation.'”

“It’s wild sh** and no one cares,” concluded the host. “No one’s up in arms. No one’s freaking out. ‘Cause that is a way that you’re gonna rig an election without rigging an election. Whether you like [Trump] or not, we have to follow the rules. We have to. And if we don’t follow the rules ’cause you don’t like somebody and we break the law because we don’t like somebody, we don’t want them to win, that’s banana republic sh**.”

That the media, big tech, and the administrative state apparently conspired against Trump to prevent him from remaining in office and did so without consequence is “scary,” said Rogan, adding the intelligence community ultimately made good on Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer’s threat — that “they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.”

Rogan likened this apparent totalitarian reflex to that wielded online to silence dissenting voices, calling it “dangerous.”
