Evidence Shows Biological ID System Has Already Been Deployed

Fluorescent glow in the faces of the vaxxed under UV light

Emotionally, it is easy to dismiss the work of Doctor Ana Maria Mihalcea for it is very disturbing. But her work is shown through scientific testing and backed up by government and NGO documentation. And the evidence shows that humanity has already been infected with cutting edge surveillance nanotechnology. This is a follow up to my last report on Doctor Mihalcea’s Hydrogel research.

New research shows that those who received the COVID shots emit a fluorescent orange glow in their faces that is visible under a UV light of 365 nano-meters. And those who have been exposed to shedding emit this glow around their nose.

After his wife was coerced into getting the COVID shot, PhD Justin Coy began his own research. He found that the more shots a person received, the more they glowed under UV light. The glow can be seen initially around the nose, and over time spreads throughout the entire face and into the neck.

After a hot shower, filaments are expelled through the skin of the vaxxed. And these filaments also emit a glow under UV light. These filaments not only glow, but they have been shown to move on their own in spastic movements. And they are also attracted to people. In videos they can be seen trying to latch on to a finger. And when a person who has received the shot has dry skin, these expelled filaments will become airborne. This could explain how shedding occurs from the vaxxed to the unvaxxed.  (See link for video and article)

**Comment**

In five short minutes, Reese has connected dots that have been exposed individually since the COVID shot rollout.

Dr. Justin Coy, mentioned in the video above, was a former DOD contractor who has been following and validating Mihalcea’s research.  For those with Morgellons, you may want to see the filaments Coy brought to Mihalcea as viewed by darkfield microscopy under UV light.  The spider silk technology (also found in the COVID shots and sprayed in geoengineering) is discussed as well.

SUMMARY of video & extra tid-bits:

  • Back in Spring of 2021, the CEO of a private Miami school was heavily ostracized for asking her employees to wait to get the jab as a precaution due to anecdotal reports stating the ‘vaccinated’ were adversely affecting the unvaccinated (via shedding).  Source 1, 2, 3, 4. Please see Dr. Kory’s 5 part series on ‘vaccine’ shedding.
  • This article explains how ‘fact-checkers’ have denied the phenomenon by taking the CDC definition which defines shedding as the release of viruses, bacteria, and their components from live ‘vaccines.’ mRNA and adenovirus ‘vaccines’ are not live vaccines and function similarly to gene therapy products.  But, the FDA states ALL gene therapy products pose a risk of shedding.  Then there’s the spike protein, graphene, and other toxic elements in the shots.
  • The Pfizer mRNA clinical trial study design warns against proximity between ‘vaccine’ participants and the unvaccinated as a possible vector of harm.  It mentions inhalation and skin contact specifically, but fails to mention inhalation.  Reese’s video explains how glowing filaments are expelled through the skin of the vaxxed that move on their own and are shown trying to latch onto a finger in a video. Could this explain Morgellons?
  • Reese’s article mentions Doctor Hildegarde Staninger who tested people exposed to a nano-tech pesticide who also had a glow in their eyes under UV light way back in 2008.  She called it the Eye of Horus effect due to fluorescent thiocyanate used in the pesticide to track its dispersal.
  • Even before this in 1997, the NIH discussed in a publication an invisible infrared dye visible under UV light to identify rioters.
  • Flashback: Luciferase the luminescent enzyme in both the Pfizer and Moderna shots along with SV40 could theoretically allow the enzyme to be written into the genetics of the recipient causing the glow under UV light.  https://rumble.com/v4evqyi-doctor-judy-mikovits-proof-biological-id.html  In this informative video, Dr. Judy Mikovits at about 19:00 explains that this green florescent light was developed from fire-flies and is used now to detect if a virus is live or dormant.  She also states that these bioweapons must be turned on by anything that robs oxygen to be damaging. While the entire video is over an hour, the first 5 minutes is Greg Reese’s video followed by 2 short, important clips from Dr. McCullough and Dr. Robert Malone. Mikovits’ information is from the 5 minute mark to 21 minutes.  

Graphene: The New Glyphosate 2.0?

Graphene or Glyphosate 2.0?

By Tessa Lena

2/22/24

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Graphene is a material that consists of a single layer of carbon atoms that are bonded together in a repeating pattern of hexagons
  • According to scientists, it has “miraculous” properties in terms of strength, elasticity, thermal and electrical conductivity
  • The testing of graphene-derived materials for toxicity has been very limited, and even the limited testing has shown a wide range of potential harms — yet graphene materials are being broadly introduced into different industries and aspects of our lives, from biosensors to conductive surfaces to batteries and face masks
  • Due to their unique properties, graphene materials enable the implementation of the indispensable component of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the wretched Internet of Bodies

This story is about graphene materials and philosophy. Graphene! Graphene! Graphene is here, at last! We the people, meaning, we the lowly peasants, can sigh a sigh of relief. Can you hear our celebratory breath? Sorry probably not behind our masks but trust us, we are celebrating, and following the science.

I mean, what took them so long to give us a wonder material enabling those wonderful futuristic sensors that will let us connect to the Internet of Bodies and have our caring, wise masters monitor our biological state and nudge us to do the right thing, for our own good — not to mention the good of the community and the collective grandmas?

We know, this material has not really been tested for biological safety in a meaning way but we are used to it by now, and we’ve trained ourselves to not worry our little heads about such silly things. As long as they show us at least ten shiny commercials saying that it’s safe, our bodies will replace their outdated chemistry with the contents of the new commercials. Science!

Laws of nature? Forget them, we are above … meaning, our masters are above, we are below, but below is above. Kind of like, we are not engineers, so we can’t really decide the directions. And what matters to the peasants is that we’re in this together, and we have been waiting and waiting and drumming our fingers for someone to connect us to a really important network of computers to monitor our bodies with care … and our wait is finally over! We are in this together!

We — and we are speaking for all the lowly peasants — are feeling very good and grateful that we can now count on the masters to monitor our biological functions, as opposed to empowering our own immune systems that have only been around for millions of years. So we are truly relieved by the all this Fourth Industrial Revolution and other related progress. Phew!

Thank you, our super wealthy, caring masters! Thank you! Please monitor us harder! Harder! Harder! (We are feeling a little ecstatic!)

Oh and about that self-heating graphene wallpaper (that may or may not shed little particles that may or may not damage our bodies … sorry for an obviously selfish and irresponsible train of thought … sorry sorry)? Yes, please also give us the self-heating graphene wallpaper! And please give us a big glass of glyphosate to drink while we are at it!

Being one with the system is totally worth it, since what’s good for Monsanto is good for our bodies! And may we also please request another safe 5G tower next to our bedroom?

We may live a shorter life as a result but who cares, at least we’ll have meaning, and a sense of belonging granted by our masters for being zombies, and “community values”! And please keep monitoring and controlling us harder!

On a side note, how we’ve managed to survive to this day without multiple 5G towers and self-heating wallpaper is a mystery to us peasants. It must be all the glyphosate in our food that kept us going. We just love the progress, and we just love love love marching in line with anything the masters give us for our good and their profits.

Wait … we are feeling weird … our brains … our hearts … the room is swirling … we may be collapsing … we are not pretending … we think we are dying … why are those other people still laughing, clapping, and screaming to continue the show?

Now let’s pause, scream, cry, ponder the tragedy, and proceed to the serious part of the story. By the way, my sarcasm was directed at the blind fanaticism, not at chemistry, and not at the poor, disposable model citizens. Graphene … graphene is just a material.

If we took the predatory motives and the Internet of Bodies and the greed and the cruel arrogance out of the equation, and if graphene materials were properly tested for short-term and long-term health safety before even considering putting them in everything, there would be no need to write this story.

But alas, our world of today is driven by cruel, headless maniacs with a propensity toward totalitarianism, who are obsessed with the Internet of Bodies and who care about our well-being as much as a cockroach farmer cares about his “cattle.” And my sarcasm is a protective reaction to mask the grief I feel over the fact that the headless people are trying to invade my everything, and to trick my brothers.

The temporarily enchanted may be acting proud and self-destructive due to enchantment, but underneath the spell, they have a soul, and they are my brothers, and I pray for them to break free from bad magic, so that we can hold hands and dance together. And to hell with the self-heating graphene wall-paper, unless it is thoroughly tested. Anyway, the serious part of the story.

What Is Graphene?

Graphene is a carbon material with unique and lucrative properties. It’s “a single layer (monolayer) sheet of carbon atoms that are bonded together in a repeating pattern of hexagons.” This sheet is only one atom thick. Monolayers of graphene stacked on top of each other form graphite. Since a typical carbon atom has a diameter of about 0.33 nanometers, there are about 3 million layers of graphene in a 1 mm thick sheet of graphite.

“Thanks to the unique structure of graphene, it possesses other amazing characteristics: Its high electron mobility is 100x faster than silicon; it conducts heat 2x better than diamond; its electrical conductivity is 13x better than copper; it absorbs only 2.3% of reflecting light; it is impervious so that even the smallest atom (helium) can’t pass through a defect-free monolayer graphene sheet.”

It is considered a new class of materials, the so called 2D material. It’s called 2D (arbitrarily, in my opinion) because it’s only one atom thick, and so the scientists decided to measure its height at zero.

It’s the talk of the town. Its inventors won a Nobel prize. It’s harder than steel, it shrinks from heat and expands from cold (which is the opposite of what other materials do), and it is extremely conductive. And again, I would personally be cautiously excited about such a wonder material if it weren’t in the hands of the maniacs who have no respect for my body! I am not a conspiracy theorist, I am a conspiracy realist!

Additionally, there are many graphene-based materials and derivatives with their own unique properties, such as “holey graphene,” graphene oxide, graphene hydroxide, etc.

For example, “graphene oxide (GO) is a single atom carbon layer where both surfaces of the layer are modified by oxygen containing functional groups. In multi-layer graphene oxide, the carbon layers are separated by functional groups bonded to each layer of carbon atoms.

Although GO – like graphene – is a 2D material, its properties are very different from that of graphene. It does not absorb visible light, has very low electric conductance compared to that of graphene, and demonstrates significantly higher chemical activity.”

Are Graphene Materials Safe?

The truth is, we have no idea. It has not been sufficiently tested for toxicity. Where it was tested. the results were mixed — and it that limited testing, it seems like it greatly depended on various factors such as what specific material was used, how it was produced, the size of the flakes, whether there were possible contaminants, and so on.

Some studies talk about neurotoxicity, immunotoxicity, DNA damage, lung damage, and many other alarming outcomes (herehere, and here). I particularly recommend going over the first one since it provides an overview (as of 2016) of different administration routes and mechanisms of toxicity for graphene-family nanoparticles.

Some stories of bringing up the toxicity of graphene materials are tragic. The German chemist Dr. Andreas Noack made a video about the toxicity of graphene hydroxide and how it could cut like a tiny razor blade, and then he was found dead, rumored to have been murdered.

Some are saying graphene is an amazing weapon against antibiotic-resistant superbugs (herehere, and here).

(Notably — and I can’t help thinking about it — the WEF is talking about antimicrobial resistance as the next big health hazard, and if there is one thing in this world that is certain, it’s that they wouldn’t mind us getting sick so that they can profitably “cure” us.)

As an oddity, here is a study on improving fertility outcomes in pigs by using graphene oxide to, forgive me, “engineer sperm membrane.” (Sounds wonderful. Another idea is to maybe stop messing with nature and let us all reproduce without poisons, but I understand that my idea makes it hard to make a profit, so I apologize, and bring on graphene oxide!) And another interesting study.

In addition, graphene (as opposed to some of its derivatives) has mad electric conductivity, and the science of today is very arrogant about our bodies’ electric properties, so they are not even looking at that properly, despite the fact that electricity is one of the main languages used by our bodies for internal and external communication.

In other words, we are on our own with this, and if it turns out that graphene materials is Glyphosate 2.0., I am sure that the super investors will find a way to market new and improved graphene in coffin decorations.

Here are two dry and technical presentations from 2016, in which the presenters talk about the tests they conducted. And while their conclusions are optimistic, they mention things like “nice internalization” (integration of graphene oxide into the cells), as well as “oxidative stress, inflammatory pathway activation.”

My problem, as a peasant and a citizen, is that I am on my own with figuring it out! I trust the principle of science, I just don’t trust the institutions and the myopic establishment scientists! To sum it up, this video from 1947 explains how I feel in 2022 about the missionaries:

DDT So Safe You Can Eat It 1947

This is clipped from the record of the 1946 campaign to check an epidemic of malaria in the Kipsigis tribal reserve in the Kisumu district of north-west Kenya by spraying village huts with DDT. A team of public health workers are sent into the rural areas to convince villagers that spraying their huts with DDT will help stop the disease. When the skeptical tribal headman, Arap Kipkoi, resists DDT as poisonous, the British officer has DDT sprayed on a bowl of porridge and then eats a mouthful to prove DDT is not dangerous to humans. DDT is not very acutely toxic, so this misleading demonstration was possible. But the hazards from DDT are long term and it is certainly not “safe”. The film, titled DDT Versus Malaria: A Successful Experiment in Malaria Control (1947), by the Kenya Medical Department, is a 25-minute, black-and-white documentary and is a valuable historical artifact.

Where Is Graphene Found Now and Potentially in the Future?

Well, everywhere, seemingly — and not just in sensors, antennas, nanotubes, and various medical applications, including some injections.

It’s in facemasks (see also here).

And in paint.

And in car inferiors.

And in sustainable adhesives.

And in computing.

And in batteries.

And in clothing. See also here.

And potentially in energy production.

And in enriching uranium.

And in “biometric soft skin.”

And in heating wallpaper.

And in construction in general.

And in diagnostics. (See also here.)

And in “smart orthodontics.”

And, kind of, in decarbonization.

And a case of spying on the previously unaccountable bacteria.

What about the vaccines?

Advance Vaccine Tech Is Not a Conspiracy Theory

The mainstream media likes to mock the “crazy conspiracy theorists.” But notions like “nanotech in vaccines,” “self-spreading vaccines,” or “graphene oxide in vaccines” are not conspiracy theories — but well-documented notions that are talked about in official studies and documents — just not necessarily in the context of the COVID injections.

Graphene-Based Materials in Medicine, Including in Vaccines

A 2019 article in “Science Daily” called, “Graphene can hear your brain whisper”:

“A newly developed graphene-based implant can record electrical activity in the brain at extremely low frequencies and over large areas, unlocking the wealth of information found below 0.1 Hz.”

A 2021 paper called, “Intranasal vaccination with influenza HA/GO-PEI nanoparticles provides immune protection against homo- and heterologous strains” that talks about a new investigational intranasal influenza vaccine with graphene oxide:

“Two-dimensional (2D) graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles have great potential as a novel vaccine platform due to their extraordinary attributes.”

And while we are being conspiratorial, um, sorry realistic, let’s briefly touch upon the crazy topics of self-assembling vaccines and nano-sized communicational networks, some of which (not all but some) use graphene materials.

Self-Assembling Nanoparticle Vaccines

Here is a 2018 brochure by the NIAID Vaccine Research Center (PDF). They are talking about self-assembling nanoparticles as a mechanism used in new influenza vaccines.

influenza

Here is a 2019 ‘Testimony before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations’ by no other than Anthony Fauci (PDF). He is talking about self-assembling nanoparticles vaccines!

nanoparticles pdf

Here is from Rice University (not in the context of vaccines though): “Nanotubes assemble! Rice introduces ‘Teslaphoresis.'”

“These nanotube wires grow and act like nerves, and controlled assembly of nanomaterials from the bottom up may be used as a template for applications in regenerative medicine … There are so many applications where one could utilize strong force fields to control the behavior of matter in both biological and artificial systems.”

A 2019 article, titled: “Aerosolized Nanobots: Parsing Fact from Fiction for Health Security — A Dialectical View.”

“Nanoscalar robotics can be used as both sensors and receiver-delivery devices, and the controllability of these technologies enable their directed activity in biological organisms. Such devices — either operating in tandem as distinct sense-and-engage systems, or as single devices with both sense and delivery modes — could be employed to assess, respond to, or modify molecular and chemical characteristics of a biological target.

As recent studies have indicated, these approaches can be used in clinical care to more precisely monitor tissue, organ, and overall bodily states and to alter the structure and function of biological tissues and systems at a variety of scales, from the subcellular to the systemic and organismic.”

A 2015 paper out of Forth Institute of Computer Science in Greece, titled (I kid you not) “CORONA: A Coordinate and Routing system for Nanonetworks.” The paper is about a topology of nano communication networks potentially for use inside living beings:

“Advances in nanotechnology enable the development of tiny machines from nanoscale components, namely nanomachines. Composed of a power supply, a memory, an antenna and a CPU module, nanomachines are entirely autonomous nodes which are able to perform simple operations and communicate in short distances.

Currently, miniature graphene based antennas are introduced giving nanomachines the ability to achieve high transmission rates over very short distances when operating in the most promising operating spectrum of Terahertz Band. Such networks are expected to be widely deployed in a variety of fields, such as biomedicine, industry, environment and the military.

Communication among nanomachines is evolving in the direction of ad-hoc networks due to their characteristics: the ability to be reconfigurable and self-organized. However, the severe restrictions of nano-nodes in terms of computational power, memory and energy, combined with the expected high number of nano-nodes per network, give rise to different protocols and networking design issues.

The key challenge in nano- architectures and protocols is to maintain simplicity without compromising the connectivity and lifetime of the nanonetwork.”

Here is a Harvard Magazine article from 2011:

“Imagine being able to signal an immune cell to generate antibodies that would fight bacteria or even cancer. That fictional possibility is now a step closer to reality with the development of a bio-compatible transistor the size of a virus.

Hyman professor of chemistry Charles Lieber and his colleagues used nanowires to create a transistor so small that it can be used to enter and probe cells without disrupting the intracellular machinery. These nanoscale semiconductor switches could even be used to enable two-way communication with individual cells.”

And here’s from Science:

“More recently, Lieber’s Harvard lab has shifted gears to integrate nanowires with biology. In 2017, for example, he reported creating soft, flexible 3D nanowire mesh that could be injected into the brains or retina of animals, unfurl and wrap around neurons, and eavesdrop on the electrical communication between cells.”

Etc. etc. What I am trying to say is that these are not conspiracy theories! And the point is not being scared of the fact that the scientists discovered a material with interesting properties, or that technology offers new opportunities — but that we are ruled by the soulless maniacs, and that they will abuse any technology!

And the crazy behavior on our behalf would be to shut our eyes and ears and keep whispering, “Safe and effective,” despite the uncertainty or even the evidence to the contrary.

PS. We the peasants are getting tired of this. Our masters keep promising us wonderful progress and new cures, and they sound so excited, and they get us so excited — and then we try their cures and strangely, we get sicker, and then the cures stop working, and in the meanwhile, our homes get more polluted, and our bodies get more loaded with poisons, and it is still not even clear to us how they are planning to clean up all those futuristic nanomaterials and cures from our bodies if it doesn’t work out … have they even thought about it?

We are not so sure. So at long last, we are growing tired of their advertisement. We are “hesitant” because we no longer believe our masters.

Abstract

Fasting, a practice with historical roots in various cultures, has recently garnered significant interest in the field of medicine. In this article, we delve into the mechanisms underlying fasting-induced autophagy and its therapeutic applications for spike protein associated pathology. We explore the therapeutic potential of fasting on spike protein-related pathology and the role of interventions to upregulate autophagy, including compounds like spermidineresveratrolrapamycin, and metformin.

In conclusion, fasting, coupled with an understanding of its nuances, holds promise as a therapeutic intervention for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein related diseases; with broad implications for human health. This review presents the therapeutic possibility of using autophagy to treat spike protein related diseases, and details the interventions to deploy this therapeutic modality(See link for article)

Finally a treatment that is FREE and will actually save you money.  

I personally believe fasting helps everything – even if you are ‘healthy.’  It gives the body, a hard working machine, a well-deserved rest.  It isn’t fun, but with patience and practice, it can yield results nothing else can compare to.

I highly recommend reading: https://www.greenleafbookgroup.com/titles/starving-to-heal-in-siberia

In Starving to Heal in Siberia, Dr. Michelle Slater takes us on her journey from her bed, where she was sidelined much of the time, to Siberia, where she was cured of the debilitating effects of advanced Lyme disease. After a years-long struggle with extreme chronic fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and other mysterious symptoms that ultimately prevented her from teaching and doing simple tasks like reading and driving, Michelle began considering assisted suicide. She had tried every known treatment, from aggressive allopathic methods to holistic remedies, without success. In a last-ditch effort to save her life, she found a radical alternative treatment offered by the world’s leading expert on dry fasting and traveled to Siberia to give it a chance.

Implicit Costs of Illness

Implicit Costs of Illness

By Grace Burns

2/7/24

Grace is earning her Master’s degree in Sustainability Management at Columbia University, works at S&P Global, and is a member of Project Lyme’s Junior Board.

My Journey

When facing illness, the last thing on your mind is the price of delivery for an at-home Covid test or order of chicken noodle soup from a local restaurant. Or is it?

As medication, food, and personal wellness prices rise amongst a price gauged economy, the cost of being sick grows increasingly staggering. As a Chronic Lyme and POTS patient for eight years, financing sickness has become woven into the fabric of my short-term and long-term budgets.

I first became sick at 16 years old; the financial burden of my care fell on my parents. My public-school teacher Mom would take sick days to take me to countless doctor’s appointments, take credit cards out to pay for MRIs, and skimp on annual family vacations in lieu of schlepping me to specialists across the country.

Neither my doctors nor my family expected me to need treatment at age 24. The financial burden has now shifted to me, aptly parallel to my transition to adulthood.

When I suffer from cyclical declines in my health: bouts of fevers, chills, flu-like symptoms, neuropathy, migraines and cognitive fogging, I notice a sharp uptick in my daily and weekly expenses. But how much could some broth and Kleenex be, anyway?

Most recently, I suffered from an eight-day long bout of illness related to my chronic Lyme. Below is a breakdown of my expenses across the eight-day span only related to being sick.

The above breakdown denotes expenses made during this bout of sickness, but are generally reflective of the categorical spending areas that increase when I am sick.

By The Numbers

Healthcare in the United States costs $12,555 per person annually. Omitted from that figure are the many ancillary services not listed strictly within the healthcare space. My loss in cognitive and muscle function requires me to get food delivered to my apartment. If I have to leave I use a car service like Uber, as I am too sick to walk, regardless of the distance.

Many of these expenses aren’t within reach for the average person; the tradeoff for maintaining full-time employment while chronically ill is the alleviation of financial burden during these bouts.

However, for the 38 million Americans living below the poverty level, and many more in the middle class, ordering takeout even for a meal is not a reality they can afford. Being sick, and properly caring for your physical wellbeing has barriers to entry in the 21st century.

Without proper immediate and preventative care, many chronic symptoms exacerbate. They result in increased future costs in the form of medication, lost wages when symptoms intensify, and piling hospital bills. As a direct result of the inflationary period in 2022, 100 million Americans– at the time 38% of the population- chose to delay or skip medical treatment and cut essentials like utilities and food to pay their medical bills.

While not all individuals are impacted by Lyme and POTS, 133 million Americans suffer from a chronic illness. The Center for Disease Control cites 6 out of 10 adults in the United States are chronically ill, 4 out of 10 suffering from 2 or more long-term conditions. Health-care, as we address these staggering, and growing, statistics, should address the total cost of operation of care.

There have been countless legislative initiatives in this light. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, amongst others, served to expand health insurance coverage for individuals suffering from chronic disease, though its legislative progression is unclear at this juncture.

Most recently, the Chronic Disease Management Act of 2021 was introduced in the Senate, covering any preventative care service item used to treat a chronic condition, barring cost and efficacy stipulations. The bill never progressed.

There is also a profound opportunity cost of sickness. Along with every-day pain management and aforementioned incurred costs is the opportunity cost of a life without chronic illness.

Often, I have to log off right as the work day is over, or earlier, though I want to get a few extra hours in to prep for the week to come. I turned down demanding job offers with restrictive sick day policies or in-office mandates.

Despite achievement, I am financially bound by my illness, as are thousands of Americans suffering at the crux of an economic and burgeoning public health crisis.


Between the tests for Lyme disease and coinfections, doctor visits, and medications, the charges can add up for patients. Throughout the country, several organizations are working to make it easier to get a proper diagnosis and begin treatment. If you need financial assistance, click here to locate nonprofits that may be able to help you or your family with diagnostic testing and other Lyme-related expenses.

**Comment**

A topic that doesn’t get discussed much but is very important.

Back when my husband and I were in the thick of treatment we spent about $15K per year, per person under the care of a Lyme literate doctor.  I’m certain this has increased exponentially.

Now, after we have reached “remission,” and are no longer in active treatment we spent $25K for the two of us in 2022.  This includes doctor visits, supplements, prescriptions, etc.  I can only imagine what this would cost if we were in active treatment.

Intellectuals for Sale: CDC Retaliates Against Its Own For ‘Wrong’ Mask Research

https://disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/cdc-warns-cdcs-own-scientists-that

CDC Warns CDC’s Own Scientists That Their Finding on Masks “Is Not Scientifically Correct”

During a congressional hearing, CDC Directory Mandy Cohen did not rule out mandating masks again for toddlers.

 

In a congressional hearing last November on restoring trust in science, CDC Director Mandy Cohen kept evading questions on whether she would bring back mask mandates for toddlers.

“We have a lot of different tools to protect our children,” Dr. Cohen said during her cagey response.

Six days later, a BMJ journal published a study that foundmask recommendations for children are not supported by scientific evidence.”

Director Cohen’s scientific bumbling continued last week as her agency began fighting with CDC’s own researchers over another contentious declaration: N95 respirators work better than surgical masks. In recent years, mask advocates have shifted goalposts and demanded N95 respirators, which they claim perform better than surgical masks at stopping the COVID virus.

Not true say CDC’s own scientists, according to CDC documents I uncovered.

During a presentation last summer, a CDC expert stated there was no difference between N95 respirators and masks in stopping viruses. These findings have been supported by CDC scientists in a study CDC published on the agency’s website last November—just a few weeks before Director Cohen testified before Congress.

To shut down this controversy, CDC wrote a blog last week warning researchers that to suggest that facemasks and respirators are the same “is not scientifically correct.” (See link for article)

______________

**Comment**

Thacker drills down and finds a CDC meta-analysis comparing the effectiveness of surgical masks with N95 against viruses. Result:NO DIFFERENCE.

But truth simply does not matter in the CDC Twilight Zone.

A systemic review noted that N95 respirators filter particles better than surgical masks, but they are NOT any better at stopping viruses in real world conditions.

Thacker then calls out to whistleblowers inside the CDC to contact him privately to discuss what is going on inside the hopelessly corrupt CDC which is beyond all hope and rehabilitation.

The Treason of Intellectuals

1/24

In this interview, Niall Ferguson, Milbank Family Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and senior faculty fellow of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard University, discusses his stunning essay “The Treason of the Intellectuals,” published in December 2023 in the Free Press.

Anyone who has a naive belief in the power of higher education to instill morality has not studied the history of German universities in the Third Reich. ~ Dr. Niall Ferguson

The essay delves deeply into the changes Ferguson has observed in his 30-year career as an academic, especially over the past 10 years. He has witnessed the willingness of trustees, donors, and alumni to tolerate the politicization of American universities by an illiberal coalition of ‘woke’ progressives, who have betrayed their role by pursuing a specific political goal, but pretending they are engaged in an academic activity.

Intellectuals for Sale

 

In the first week of March 2020, as news of a virus was everywhere, intellectuals associated with the Yale University School of Public Health penned a letter expressing the conventional wisdom of the moment: we should not lock down. That harms the poor and vulnerable populations. Travel restrictions achieve nothing. 

Quarantine, if it is deployed at all, said the letter, should only be for the very sick and only in the interest of the health of the community. Government should never abuse its powers but instead find “the least restrictive measure” that still protects community health. 

The letter writers gathered signatures. They found 800 others in their profession to sign it. Of course the whole text was discarded by governments at all levels everywhere in the world. 

Reading it now, we will find that it makes mostly the same points as the Great Barrington Declaration that came out seven months later. After that document, which was wrongly seen as partisan, many of the people who signed the original Yale letter then signed a new letter, this one called the John Snow Memorandum, calling for a zero-Covid policy and universal lockdowns. 

What happened?

Summary:

  • Academics, think tankers, authors and pundits all over the world who were initially against draconian measures changed suddenly once every nation in the world other than Sweden locked down.
  • When “Trump’s” COVID ‘vaccine’ came out, Anthony Fauci, Kamala Harris, Governor Andrew Cuomo, Dr. Eric Topol, Dr. Peter Hotez and Dr. Ashish Jha all said that the public should be extremely wary, but turned on a dime a few months later stating it should be mandated despite no data, no evidence, and no new information. 
  • Very few have apologized for anything despite the fact these measures not only did not have any positive impact on COVID, they actually killed people.
  • Currently, those of the professional intellectual class who are truth-tellers are mostly retired.
  • Those dependent upon an institution are less likely to speak the truth.
  • In order to ascend up the ranks in intellectual pursuits, you must be wise and that means not bucking the prevailing ideological trends.
  •  In hopes of rekindling apolitical science, Brownstone Institute began a series of retreats for experts free of back-stabbing faculty politics and bureaucracy, in which serious research and ideas are put on display and valued for what they are.  There is no unified message, no action items, and no hidden agenda.
