Globalists and Mainstream Media Just Can’t Let Go of Bad COVID Policies & Scientific Establishment Turns ‘Science’ Into Dogmatic Tool of Oppression

Disregarding reality, mounting data, and even admissions, corrupt globalists and governments working with tech companies who think they know better than you do, continue to push the faulty COVID narrative and that we need AI-based real-time censorship for ‘misinformation.’

Part and parcel of this push is the need to eliminate meat and traditional farming  due to supposed ‘greenhouse gas emissions’. Arbitrarily made-up facts are given for this need to ‘shift’ to a diet of plants and bugs.  Seems facts never get in the way of a good story.

Mainstream Media Just Can’t Let Go of Bad COVID Policies

The COVID-19 pandemic policies enacted by global governments were a catastrophic failure. Yet, four-and-a-half years later, mainstream media is calling for a return to mask mandates, social distancing guidelines and restrictions on large gatherings.

They’re never going to stop.

We’re a few months away from the end of 2024, four-and-a-half years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

It’s a truth that should clearly be universally acknowledged by now, that the pandemic policies enacted by global governments were a catastrophic failure.

Mask mandates were pointless, harmful and completely ineffective. School closures were one of history’s biggest mistakes, causing learning loss among young people that will set them back an entire generation.

Business shutdowns achieved little except for hurting small business owners at the expense of massive corporations and necessitating a rolling series of money printing leading to rampant inflation.

Then we witnessed the formerly unimaginable emergence of vaccine passports.

Regardless, those policies have generally, and thankfully, come to an end.

Overwhelming evidence, data and scientific studies have confirmed that Dr. Anthony Fauci/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) doctrine was based on nothing and accomplished less.

But among the fearless media columnist set, there’s a desperation to return to the glory days of pandemic restrictions.

The latest example comes from an opinion article published over at The Hill, complete with the usual misinformation, poor reasoning and willful ignorance of current realities.

Continuing the trend that Fauci started.

Media personalities can’t let go of bad COVID policies

The column by Aron Solomon presents several absurd arguments, blaming a “recent surge” on “new variants” and saying we “need to take stock of where we are” with the virus.

“The recent surge in COVID-19 cases has disrupted summer travel plans, overwhelmed healthcare facilities in certain areas, and left many Americans dealing with the familiar symptoms of fever, cough and fatigue,” Solomon writes.

“The summer months, typically associated with lower respiratory virus activity, have instead seen a significant uptick in COVID-19 infections.”

This is factually inaccurate.

The summer months have traditionally been associated with higher respiratory virus activity in certain parts of the country. The South and Southwest have consistently seen higher COVID-19 spread in the summer months, corresponding with past flu patterns.

Even the extremist public health agencies such as the one that dictated their edicts to the city of Los Angeles have acknowledged that summer surges have happened every year since 2020.

Sure enough, that’s exactly what the data shows, summer increases in COVID-19 spread, decreasing over time as population immunity grows and testing decreases.

But Solomon’s run of misinformation wasn’t done there.

He then blames the “relaxation of public health measures” for the increased COVID-19 spread this year.

“Second, the widespread relaxation of public health measures has created an environment conducive to transmission,” he writes.

“Mask mandates, social distancing guidelines and restrictions on large gatherings have all but disappeared. This return to normalcy, while massively psychologically and economically beneficial, has provided the virus with ample opportunities to spread.”

The pointless mask mandates disappeared years ago in many parts of the country, which is just as well as they conclusively did not matter.

Comparing regions with and without mandates has consistently shown that areas with mandates have the same COVID-19 rates, if not worse. Even in California.

It just doesn’t matter, because masks don’t work.

Solomon then advocates for the return of pandemic restrictions and a “commitment to public health” to combat the summer 2020 surge.

“While much progress has been made in terms of vaccination and treatment, the current surge is a stark reminder that complacency is not an option. The road ahead will require a renewed commitment to public health, both from government leaders and from individuals.

“We all need to prepare for not only the possibility of continued disruptions but for another new normal that might be a little closer to 2020 than how we’ve recently been living. That means preparing for future waves and the long-term implications of a world in which COVID-19 remains a persistent, if manageable, threat.”

Beyond the absurdity of demanding restrictions that have already failed, Solomon is ignoring that there was effectively no “surge” in summer 2020, in any meaningful metric.

Getting sick, unfortunately, is a part of life. People will have colds, flu, COVID-19 and their resulting symptoms forever. No matter what we do.

But what matters is whether these waves lead to a substantial increase in associated deaths. They conclusively have not. Per the CDC’s COVID Data Tracker, COVID-19-associated mortality is essentially near all-time pandemic lows.

Roughly 1.8% of all registered deaths across the country were even tangentially associated with COVID-19. Those massive peaks though? Those came with the strictest restrictions of the pandemic, the restrictions Solomon wants to return.

Even the massive increase in 2021-2022 came after vaccines and boosters were widely available.

But a combination of immunity across a wide swath of the population effectively ended the pandemic. It had nothing to do with any pandemic policies from governments here or abroad.

The fact that this is even remotely up for debate is a testament to the power of media misinformation and the willingness of people like Solomon to ignore contradictory information.

There is no emergency, there is no need to reinstate restrictions of any kind to deal with COVID-19. Especially because those restrictions are useless anyway.

**Comment**

To my knowledge only a few German media outlets have apologized for fear-driven COVID coverage or admitted that the ‘unvaxxed’ are the winners – demanding the government apologize. Germans were brutalized by police and its domestic spy agency that monitored anti-lockdown protesters claiming they were potentially involved in a plot to subvert the country.  One Danish newspaper also apologized for its COVID coverage and for not questioning government data and narratives.

Yet a majority of the world remains remarkably silent over one of the worst fiascos in history.

Here in the U.S. mostly bland, empty apologies have been given, but mistakes were not made and we must not let them get away with what they have done and continue to do.  Recently, Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerburg, finally addressed the pressure he received from the Biden administration and the media to remove COVID-19 & Hunter Biden laptop posts.

Go here for a poignant reminder of how the unvaccinated were treated.

But guilty mainstream media is far from alone.

It appears both parties in the Presidential debate refused to discuss COVID, the atrocious ‘pandemic’ response, ‘vaccine’ injuries, disabilities, and death.

And of course mainstream medicine and research is guilty as well:

The Scientific Establishment Is Turning ‘Science’ Into a Dogmatic Tool of Oppression | Opinion

By Jay Bhattacharya & Bryce Nickels

Professor of Health Policy at Stanford Medical School; Professor of Genetics at Rutgers University

The COVID era has been difficult for scientists whose ideas run against the grain of powerful scientific and government bureaucracies. Even for university scientists with unblemished reputations in the before times, the price of speaking up has been vilification by social media companies, the media, and, unfortunately, even scientific journals and our fellow scientists. It is a wonder that any scientists dared to speak out, with only their commitment to the truth as a reason to do so.

In a recent letter to the House, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote that the Biden-Harris administration “repeatedly pressured” his social media empire to censor speech it didn’t like. His company often acceded to those demands, and “with the benefit of hindsight and new information,” Zuckerberg now admits it was wrong. At the behest of the government, Zuckerberg’s Facebook censored even true speech about dangerous gain-of-function research, school closures, and COVID-19 vaccine injuries.

No scientist wants the information they share on social media to be labeled as “misinformation” or to have their accounts suspended for scientific speech, which Zuckerberg’s under-qualified censors often did. Such labels represent a direct smear on scientists’ reputations—the coin of the realm in science; as a consequence of this censorship regime, many scientists opt to stay silent or watch from the sidelines, not being willing to risk such a label.  (See link for article and video)

Japan Links COVID Shots to 201 Diseases, US Lawyer States a 1100% Increase in U.S. Military Morbidity and Deaths

There’s massive evidence that the COVID shots cause massive amounts of deaths, disabilities and injuries.  Expert after expert has spoken out against the clot shots and the government and global narrative.  Edward Dowd believes the modern world is a simulacrum where reality has been replaced by false messaging and imagery and just went on record stating:

“I don’t think they can put lipstick on this pig much longer.”

Buried in UK government ONS data on deaths involving COVID-19, deaths not involving Covid, and all-cause deaths by age group in England between January 1, 2021, and May 31, 2022, is disturbing confirmation that the Covid injections have been killing children at an unprecedented rate.

  • The data shows that children who received the shots are 4423% / 45x more likely to die of any cause than unvaccinated children.
  • Vaxxed children are 13,633% / 137x more likely to die of COVID-19 than those who didn’t receive a mRNA injection.
  • Triple-vaccinated children, meanwhile, are 4423% / 45.23x more likely to die of any cause than unvaccinated children.
  • Triple-vaccinated children are 137.3x / 13,633.33% more likely to die of COVID-19 than unvaccinated children.
The data prove “vaccination” is worsening the immune response to the ‘virus’ and increasing the risk of both hospitalization and death.

Japan Links Covid Shots to 201 Dangerous Diseases

Frank Bergman

Researchers in Japan have issued a red alert after making a “shocking” discovery, warning the public that Covid mRNA shots are now “affecting every possible aspect of human pathology.”

The nation’s leading scientists are raising the alarm after linking Covid mRNA injections to surges in 201 dangerous and deadly diseases.

The findings were laid out in a 93-minute press conference, during which, some of Japan’s leading researchers revealed that Covid “vaccines” have now been linked to thousands of side effects.

During the press briefing, the Vaccine Issues Study Group, a panel of esteemed medical experts, detailed the findings from a “shocking” systematic review of research papers.

The findings followed six months of investigations into the side effects of the Covid mRNA shots that were pushed onto the public to supposedly tackle COVID-19.

Professor Emeritus Masanori Fukushima of Kyoto University warns that the breadth of the harms is “unprecedented” for medical treatments.

“A systematic review of the literature has unveiled some shocking information,” Fukushima told reporters.

“Thousands of papers have reported side effects after vaccination, affecting every possible aspect of human pathology, from ophthalmology to psychiatry,” he said.  (See link for article)

1100% Increase in U.S. Military Morbidity and Deaths – US Lawyer Speaks Out

“…This is Genocide…”

A team of researchers is developing a tool to track reports in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), so vaccine-injured people can follow what happens to the reports they submit.

As part of a broader effort to hold public health agencies accountable, the tool will also make it possible to audit the VAERS system by identifying what types of reports are deleted, insufficiently updated or contain errors.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which jointly oversee VAERS, have refused to do this work despite multiple appeals by advocates for the vaccine-injured, according to React19, the group leading the initiative.

React19, founded by a small group of medical professionals injured by COVID-19 vaccines, works with institutions and providers to increase understanding and awareness of patients experiencing lasting effects following COVID-19 and/or COVID-19 vaccines.

The group is teaming up with computer programmer Liz Wilner, founder of OpenVAERS — a website that provides tools for more easily accessing and searching VAERS data — and Children’s Health Defense (CHD) to develop the tool.  (See link for article)

First Case of Tick-borne Wetland Virus

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-13830053/Man-61-deadly-tick-borne-infection-brain-doctors-report-case

Doctors detect first EVER case of new deadly tick-borne virus that ‘buries itself in the brain’

By Emily Stearn, Health Reporter For Mailonline and Cassidy Morrison For Dailymail.Com

Published

A new tick-borne virus that can trigger deadly brain infections has been discovered in humans for the first time.

Officials believe the unidentified man, from China, got infected after he was bitten by ticks when visiting a park in Mongolia.

Dubbed wetland virus (WELV), tests have since shown it has now infected nearly two dozen people.

Spread by ticks and farm animals, the potentially fatal infection joins a long roster of diseases passed by tiny parasites, like Lyme disease and malaria.

It was first detected in the 61-year-old hospital patient while being treated in Jinzhou in 2019. But medics have only released the report this month. (See link for article)

______________

Highlights:

Symptoms included: fever, headache, vomiting, poor appetite, and infected lymph nodes that failed to subside after antibiotics.  Others infected with WELV most commonly suffered dizziness, headaches, back pain, nausea and diarrhea. Tests showed the virus could even cause tissue damage and blood clotting issues. All patients recovered after treatment and were discharged within four to 15 days.

Blood tests identified a previously unknown orthonairovirus, a group of related viruses one of which causes Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF), and many of which are transmitted by ticks.  Transmission can also occur via contact with infected blood or tissue and spread between humans through bodily fluids or if medical equipment isn’t properly sterilized.

Chinese researchers have found that 5 different tick species could carry the virus but the Haemaphysalis concinna tick (common rodent tick species) was the most likely perp.  Research shows this tick can carry at least 40 human pathogens including six species in the Anaplasmataceae family, five species of Babesia, four genospecies in the complex Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, ten species of spotted fever group rickettsiae, ten species of viruses, as well as Francisella, Coxiella, and other bacteria.

**Comment**

This article is interesting for numerous reasons:

  1. The timing.  First ‘detected’ in 2019, they only released the report THIS month?  That seems highly dubious.
  2. Symptoms are very general and common with many tick-borne illnesses as well as other illnesses.
  3. Many Lyme/MSIDS treated patients suffer with unresolved symptoms.  That doesn’t automatically mean it’s suddenly a virus.  
  4. Blood tests identified an orthonairovirus.  Blood tests for all tick-borne infections are abysmal at best and are certainly nothing to bank on.
  5. Researchers collected and tested ticks and found 5 species of tick could carry the virus. Carrying a virus doesn’t mean necessarily it can be transmitted.  Only transmission studies can prove this.  Why aren’t researchers doing this important work?  (Hint: there’s no money in it)
  6. They then tested other patients who had a fever with the same lousy test and found 20 more were positive.  This website has posted in depth articles on how PCR testing has been and continues to be used to create a ‘casedemic.’  Again, testing positive means squat regarding COVID and/or tick-borne infections.
  7. More abysmal testing showed the ‘virus’ can cause tissue damage and blood clotting issues.  This too is PERFECT timing as the COVID clot shots also damage tissue and cause clotting.  Now they have a scapegoat.  It’s Wetland Virus!
  8. The article paints a very frightening mortality picture yet please note that ALL the patients recovered and were discharged within 4-15 days from whatever ailment they had!  Typically no ‘treatment’ for viruses is given besides supportive measures.

I’ve become even more skeptical after the COVID plandemic.  I question much about this article.

Medicine Struggles to Define Chronic Lyme. Long Covid Has Only Made it Harder

https://www.statnews.com/2024/09/09/lyme-disease-long-covid-symptoms-diagnosis-research/

Medicine struggles to define chronic Lyme. Long Covid has only made it harder

By Isabella Cueto and Alina Sajani

Sept. 9, 2024

Going to the doctor is already tricky enough for people with chronic symptoms of Lyme disease. Their concerns often dismissed by mainstream medicine, those patients now face an additional hurdle: ruling out long Covid.

The two illnesses — one seeping in over the course of decades and another suddenly springing to life on a massive scale — share many qualities, including being widely misunderstood. But as efforts to demystify long Covid intensify, so does interest in studying neglected conditions, including persistent complications from Lyme disease.

Long Covid was a crash course in chronic conditions that start with infection. “As a result, Lyme patients are now met with more compassion and understanding than ever in the past. It is now harder for a physician to dismiss the possibility of a Lyme diagnosis out of hand than it was before the pandemic,” said Bernadette Clavier, facilitator of the Coalition for Infection-Associated Chronic Conditions and Illnesses Research.

New studies aim to tease apart the diseases’ differences and similarities in hopes of finding treatments for patients that have gone without vetted, tailored therapeutics, in some cases for decades. (See link for article)

_______________

**Comment**

The article discusses the case of a Lyme advocate who had a mild case of COVID and only lost her sense of taste and smell, but who crashed two months later.  Joint pain and GI issues popped up seemingly out of nowhere.  She also got severe brain fog.

I’m sure this patient isn’t alone.

COVID did a number on both of us as well and we were very sick, numerous times.  The first time caused us to relapse with Bartonella.

But this patient is blaming COVID for it all.  I question the logic of this as there is no accurate test to prove it. One of the most common features of long-COVID syndrome is post-exertional malaise and research has shown the spike protein exhausts cardiomyocyte mitochondria.  Also, ‘Long COVID’ symptoms mirror those in other viral illnesses and with Lyme/MSIDS it is nearly impossible to discern what is causing what.  I can rattle off 10 things that cause joint pain, GI issues, and brain fog, including a bevy of bacterial and parasitic infections!

Researchers at Johns Hopkins and other institutions have a lost of potential new therapies they’d like to study – everything from inflammatory treatments to antibiotic combination therapies, brain stimulation, and magic mushrooms.

It is widely known that ALL vaccines prime illness by injecting foreign proteins and the COVID shots specifically cause T-cell exhaustion and masks are immunosuppressive.  These issues are side-stepped regarding ‘long covid.’ A top biologist states they are ‘bioweapons’ that can target entire populations by ‘triggering the immune system to stand down.’  This is the last thing a Lyme/MSIDS patient needs!

Italian scientists have issued a disturbing warning over a new neurological emergency surging in those who received the mRNA shots and others have shown they have caused excess death, organ damage, autoimmunity, and myocarditis and pericarditis, and urinary and bladder issues.  Then there’s the paper showing the spike protein induces a lethal cancer phenotype.

Seems to me ‘Long COVID’ is an easy scapegoat from much larger and damning issues.

Massachusetts Officials Approve Curfew Due to EEE & Fauci Recovering from West Nile Virus

https://www.boston25news.com/news/local/despite-parental-pushback-officials-approve-curfew-mass-town-amid-critical-eee-risk

Despite parental pushback, officials approve curfew in Mass. town amid critical EEE risk

By Boston 25 News Staff

OXFORD, Mass. — Health officials in one of four Massachusetts communities facing a critical risk for Eastern Equine Encephalitis met Wednesday night at a special meeting to discuss measures to keep residents safe, ultimately approving a townwide curfew.

As of Wednesday, the towns of Oxford, Douglas, Sutton, and Webster were considered at critical risk for EEE, according to the latest Massachusetts arbovirus risk map.

The towns were elevated to the high-risk level after a man in his 80s recently tested positive for EEE last week.  (See link for article)

______________

**Comment**

The curfew set at 6pm will shift to 5pm starting Oct 1 and will last through the first frost.

Please note all of this due to one 80 year old man testing positive.

Please note that EEE is a nationally notifiable condition.  This means they are counting cases and keeping track of it.  Bartonella, on the other hand, isn’t, yet can make you miserable or kill you just the same.

The CDC webpages state:

  • Eastern equine encephalitis virus IgM testing is available commercially, at some state health departments, and at CDC.
  • A positive eastern equine encephalitis virus IgM test result should be confirmed by neutralizing antibody testing at a state public health laboratory or CDC.
  • Some patients who are severely immunocompromised might require molecular (e.g., RT-PCR) testing for diagnosis.
  • Most persons infected with eastern equine encephalitis virus have no apparent illness. Symptomatic persons typically develop a systemic febrile illness that can progress in <5% of individuals to meningitis or encephalitis. The incubation period for eastern equine encephalitis ranges from 4 to 10 days but can be several weeks in patients who are immunocompromised.
  • Signs and symptoms in patients with neuroinvasive disease can include headache, meningismus, confusion, focal neurologic deficits, seizures, and coma.
  • Eastern equine encephalitis should be considered in any person with an acute febrile or neurologic illness who has had recent exposure to mosquitoes, especially during the summer months in areas where virus activity has been reported.
  • EEE has a fatality rate of 30%.  Of those that recover, more than half are left with physical or neurologic sequelae.

The article doesn’t state how this elderly man was tested but I’ll bet my hat it was PCR, which inventor Kary Mullis states should never be used to diagnose anybody.

The article also doesn’t state whether this man even has symptoms or how severe they symptoms are.

Does all of this look and feel like deja vu?

It should.

Anthony Fauci recovering at home after hospitalization for West Nile virus

Former head of the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease is expected to make a full recovery

Anthony Fauci is recovering at home from a West Nile virus infection, a spokesperson told news outlets on Saturday.

The former head of the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease was hospitalized for six days with the virus. Fauci, 83, is expected to make a full recovery.

“Tony Fauci has been hospitalized with a case of West Nile virus. He is now home and is recovering. A full recovery is expected,” a spokesperson told multiple outlets.

Fauci retired from his role at the NIH in 2022 after achieving widespread recognition for his role in public health communication during the Covid-19 pandemic. He now serves as a distinguished professor at Georgetown University’s School of Medicine. (See link for article)

**Comment**

CDC webpages state:

  • West Nile virus is the leading cause of mosquito-borne disease in the U.S.
  • Most people with West Nile do not feel sick.  (About 1 in 5 have fever and symptoms)
  • Symptoms include fever, headache, body aches, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash.
  • There are no vaccines to prevent or medicines to treat West Nile virus disease (West Nile) in people.

For more:

Please note that all sorts of shenanigans have been done for decades against mosquitoes and nobody knows the effects of these interventions.  As in the case of ‘vaccines,’ man-made interventions to kill bugs often have deleterious effects on biological health, which few are tracking.
