The World Health Organization (WHO) says evidence that a person is actually sick is not required for a “laboratory-confirmed” human influenza infection with “the potential to cause a pandemic” to trigger mandatory international reporting.
WHO says countries must “immediately notify WHO of any laboratory-confirmed case of a recent human infection caused by an influenza A virus with the potential to cause a pandemic.”

This ‘Laboratory-confirmed’ finding is based on PCR which doesn’t directly observe a virus.
Now, following in a similar ugly vein, the WHO says you don’t even have to show ANY evidence of illness for them to blow your world up by declaring a ‘pandemic,’ and shutting down businesses, schools, etc.
Have we truly learned nothing from the COVID experiment?
We speculated that Moren would enter a plea bargain and turn state’s evidence on his co-conspirators. The fact that co-conspirators were numbered in his case bodes well for follow-up prosecutions.
David M. Morens, a former senior adviser in the Office of the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, pleaded guilty on August 18, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland to Count One: conspiracy to commit offenses against and to defraud the United States, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371. The signed plea agreement is unusually informative: it says the conspiracy contemplated violations of 18 U.S.C. § 1519 (destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in a federal matter), 18 U.S.C. § 2071(a) (concealment, removal, mutilation, or destruction of federal records), and 18 U.S.C. § 201(c) (illegal gratuities). Morens admitted guilt to the § 371 conspiracy; the government agreed that the remaining open counts would be dismissed at sentencing. [1]
According to DOJ, after NIH terminated the grant Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence, Morens and others anticipated Freedom of Information Act requests and agreed in writing to shift communications concerning the grant, NIH funding, and COVID-19 origins to Morens’s personal Gmail account rather than his official NIH account. DOJ says those communications included nonpublic NIH information, edits to letters intended for NIH leadership, efforts to restore funding to the grant recipient, and information “back-channeled” to a senior NIAID official. Morens also admitted that the conspiracy involved illegal gratuities: a co-conspirator sent him wine after his “behind-the-scenes shenanigans,” and further high-end meals were discussed. [2]
The criminal case establishes intentional misconduct concerning federal records, government processes, and gratuities—not the origin of the virus. Prosecutors have not accused Anthony Fauci of wrongdoing in Morens’s case. [3]
The connection to the underlying grant is nevertheless real rather than speculative. HHS records identify NIAID award R01AI110964, “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence,” as an EcoHealth Alliance award beginning June 1, 2014; the original FY2014 award action was $666,442. DOJ expressly says the grant recipient made a subaward to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Public records and major-news reporting make EcoHealth Alliance and its then-president Peter Daszak the overwhelmingly likely identities of “Company 1” and “Co-Conspirator 1,” although DOJ deliberately leaves them unnamed in the plea documents. The Washington Post reports that previously released records likewise point to Boston University scientist Gerald Keusch as “Co-Conspirator 2.” Neither Daszak nor Keusch was reported charged in this case as of August 19. [4]
On sentencing, there is an important correction to some commentary: there is no publicly agreed or recommended prison term in the plea agreement. The statutory range is zero to five years’ imprisonment, up to three years of supervised release, a maximum $250,000 fine, and a $100 special assessment. The parties stipulated to guideline calculations that, after the anticipated three-level acceptance-of-responsibility reduction, produce offense level 15, with Morens permitted to argue for another two-level reduction under the “zero-point offender” provision. If that reduction applies, the level would be 13. Both sides expressly reserved the right to advocate for a reasonable sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). Sentencing is scheduled for November 12, 2026, before U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis. [5]
Morens’s plea materially strengthens the proposition that an NIAID senior adviser intentionally circumvented federal recordkeeping and public-access mechanisms while helping people with a direct interest in the controversial coronavirus grant. As presented, the case does not strengthen the virological evidence that the pandemic began in a laboratory nearly as much as it strengthens the evidence of a transparency and government-integrity failure.

**Comment**
The ‘must read’ article includes a timeline of actions of David Morens and EcoHealth and so much more.
Weiler states that prosecutors did not accuse Fauci of wrongdoing in Morens’s case. My guess is they will make Morens the ‘fall guy’ and Fauci will continue to walk free. It’s also important to note that many other people were involved in this monolithic crime that remain unnamed and free.
A video time capsule of pandemic-era rhetoric is the top news story on X right now. Here is what it documents — and the one entry still missing from the record.
There is no narration. No music. No editing tricks. Just public officials, public health authorities, and the media voices who amplified them — on camera, on the record, between 2020 and 2022 — describing the fellow citizens they were supposed to serve.
Every one of the dozens of public officials who blamed the failures of the mRNA shots on those who were prudent enough not to participate in a mass medical experiment owes the public an apology. They demanded punishment, exclusion, restrictions, and social consequences for people who said no. The 11-minute compilation below preserves their words for the historical record. Of the dozens featured here, has even one publicly apologized? If so, I genuinely want to know who.
The comments have been pouring in ever since. Nobody has produced a name.
What the tape actually shows
Watch it start to finish and you’ll notice it unfolds in three acts.
Act one: the mantra. “No one is safe until everyone is safe.” Heads of state, health ministers, anchors — dozens of them, repeating the same seven words until the sentence stopped being a claim and became a permission slip. If no one is safe until everyone complies, then the person who declines is no longer making a private medical decision. He is the reason you are not safe.
Act two: the sorting. Once the premise was installed, the language followed. “If you are the unvaccinated, you are the problem.” “Condemn them, shame them, blame them.” “They should not be part of polite society.” “You are an enemy.” A sitting American governor told a church congregation that the unvaccinated “aren’t listening to God.” A celebrated attorney announced on television that “you have no right not to be vaccinated.” An Oscar-winning actor compared declining the shot to “pointing a gun in somebody’s face.” A late-night host mused about who should get the ICU bed — “unvaccinated guy? Rest in peace, Wheezy.” And then the insults hardened into demands: fire them, ban them from restaurants and colleges, keep them out of hospitals, keep them from “breathing the same air.” Not fringe voices. Prime time. Podiums. Press rooms.
Act three: the promise. Every one of those demands rested on a single factual claim, delivered with absolute confidence. “The virus stops with every vaccinated person.” “You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.” And from the director of the CDC herself, on March 29, 2021: vaccinated people “do not carry the virus, don’t get sick” — a statement the CDC walked back within days and that she later conceded was “no longer correct”. It didn’t matter. Fortune ran the headline “It’s official: Vaccinated people don’t transmit COVID-19” — then appended a correction note two days later. The tape closes act three by simply reading the news that followed: Biden tests positive. Fauci tests positive. CDC director tests positive. Pfizer’s CEO tests positive — again.
The switch nobody acknowledges
Here is the response you will hear, so let’s deal with it now: “The shots still reduced hospitalization and death.”
Fine. Notice what that argument concedes. Protection against severe disease is a personal benefit — and nobody in this video was threatening to fire people to protect those people themselves. The mandates, the passports, the two-tier society, the “you’re not welcome” — all of it was justified on one ground and one ground only: that the unvaccinated were uniquely spreading the virus and the vaccinated were not. That is the claim the officials in this video made, in those words, on the record. And that is the claim that collapsed — publicly, undeniably, on their own timelines.
When the factual premise for punishing millions of people fails, the people who demanded the punishment inherit a debt. It is a small one, as debts go. It is one sentence long: “I was wrong to say that about you. I’m sorry.”(See link for article and videos)

Really worth your time to read and digest.
I would only disagree on one point: the clot shots did not reduce hospitalization and death and remains unproven for the following reasons:
they have never, to this day, created a successful “vaccine” for an upper respiratory disease
a “vaccine” isn’t needed for an illness which has a 99.991% recovery rate by doing nothing
this article points out that these injections lack a viable mechanism of action against COVID in the airways and that antibodies cannot prevent injection due to the fact COVID invades through the respiratory tract and that none of the “vaccine” trials gave any evidence that they prevent transmission. Urging people to get these fast-tracked gene therapy injections to “protect others” has NO basis in fact
Despite forcing countries to put up sovereign assets including their bank reserves, military bases, and embassy buildings as collateral, these “vaccine” manufacturers ADMIT efficacy and risks are UNKNOWN
when absolute risk is taken into account, these injections are less than 1% effective
COVID “vaccine” manufacturers have unblinded their trials giving control groups the actual “vaccine,” making long-term efficacy and safety impossible to assess
Every clinical study and non-peer reviewed press release regarding efficacy needs to be revisited due to the sleight-of-statistical hand and the faulty PCR used in these studies. Please remember that the CDC did not consider people “vaccinated” until up to five weeks after the initial dose – demonstrating brazen statistical manipulation to bury perception of adverse events and deaths
CDC data has shown that mass “vaccination” has had NO measurable impact on COVID mortality.
This segment focuses on a legal challenge to California’s COVID-19 misinformation law, arguing that doctors should retain First Amendment protections when discussing medical information and treatment options with patients. Attorney Richard Jaffe tells Jimmy that after earlier rulings treated doctor-patient advice as regulable “conduct,” a later Supreme Court decision on protected therapeutic speech changed the legal landscape, leading a federal judge to rule in favor of three doctors challenging California’s restrictions.
Dr. Pierre Kory argues that the case has implications far beyond COVID-19 because allowing governments or medical boards to dictate what physicians may say could suppress medical dissent and independent judgment. The three characterize the ruling as a major victory for doctors’ and patients’ freedom of medical discussion, while also crediting legal organizations that supported the litigation.
FBI Pressured U.S. Customs to Ditch Plan to Question Key Fauci Aide on Return Trip From Wuhan
The FBI intervened to prevent U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents from questioning “virus hunter” Peter Daszak, Ph.D., on a return trip from Wuhan, China, according to documents released this week by Sen. Rand Paul. Three days before Daszak was scheduled to arrive in New York, a CBP Joint Terrorism Task Force liaison wrote, “Please be advised FBI New York requested we do not stop the subject.”

The FBI intervened to prevent U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents from questioning “virus hunter” Peter Daszak, Ph.D., on a return trip from Wuhan, China, according to documents released this week by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).
The documents show that in February 2021, Daszak, a key aide to Dr. Anthony Fauci and then-president of the EcoHealth Alliance, traveled to Wuhan as part of a World Health Organization (WHO) investigation into the origins of COVID-19.
CBP planned to stop and question Daszak on his return to the U.S. that month. But in an email dated Feb. 2, 2021 — three days before Daszak was scheduled to arrive in New York — a CBP Joint Terrorism Task Force liaison wrote, “Please be advised FBI New York requested we do not stop the subject.”
The CBP Tactical Terrorism Response Team was prepared to question Daszak about the business he conducted in China, his contacts at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and whether he collected or was carrying any samples of viruses or other pathogens.
One document states that CBP viewed Daszak as “an extremely high person of interest” due to his longstanding ties with the Wuhan laboratory.
A Jan. 11, 2021, CBP email flagged Daszak’s participation in the WHO’s team investigating the pandemic’s origins in Wuhan as a potential “conflict of interest.”
A Feb. 2, 2021, email noted that much of the funding Daszak was receiving was “put toward gain of function research.”
Notably, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security email contained within the documents, which provided background information on Daszak’s research activity, referenced an article The Defender published in January 2021.
Paul released the documents as part of his ongoing congressional investigation into the origins of COVID-19. In a post on X earlier this week, he said the documents challenge the narrative that a lab leak was implausible.
“The American people can finally judge the evidence for themselves,” Paul wrote.
Speaking to The National Desk on Tuesday, Paul said the documents showed that figures in the federal government “wanted to protect” the narrative that COVID-19 originated in, and escaped from, a lab, so they “used whatever means necessary to do it.”
“It’s no surprise that they would use the law enforcement enterprise to achieve that,” Paul said.
Jeffrey Tucker, president and founder of the Brownstone Institute, said the documents confirm the “worst versions of what we’ve suspected” and provide “more empirical evidence than ever” of a concerted effort by figures in the federal government to conceal a lab leak in Wuhan.
“There was a high-level plan to protect the virus creators as part of a longer-term scheme to deploy both pathogens and countermeasures, likely for the purpose of political manipulation, as incredible as that sounds,” Tucker said.
NIH asked Daszak to bring SARS-CoV-2 specimen to the U.S.
The documents contained evidence that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) asked Daszak to obtain the original type specimen of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, and bring it to the U.S.
Fox News reported that Daszak and EcoHealth Alliance had collaborated with the Wuhan lab for over 15 years, including with the lab’s lead researcher, Shi Zhengli, Ph.D., widely known as the “bat lady.”
Daszak was also principal investigator on NIH grants that funded bat coronavirus research at the Wuhan lab.
The documents were released just days before Fauci is set to testify before the U.S. Congress on July 29, as part of Paul’s investigation.
The document release also came a month after two NIH researchers with ties to Daszak and EcoHealth Alliance were arrested and charged with smuggling mpox samples into the U.S.
Documents Paul released last month revealed that Fauci received a U.S. intelligence report in August 2021 suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 was developed in Chinese and U.S. labs as a bat vaccine, that it later leaked from the Wuhan lab and that it contained characteristics that would make it resistant to mRNA vaccines.
Last year, Daszak became president of Nature.Health.Global — a nonprofit organization that performs research on public health and pandemic prevention. The group employs Dr. David Morens, a former top aide to Fauci.
In April, a federal grand jury indicted Morens on charges related to conspiracy to hide federal records on COVID-19’s origins.
