Important Excerpt:

A previous post by Jennifer Cabrera and Alex Rodriguez, “Why mass PCR testing of the healthy and asymptomatic is currently counter-productive,” discussed some of the problems with PCR tests. The short version is that documented studies show that PCR tests are too sensitive to identify live virus (infectious people) when they use a cycle threshold over 34, and almost all labs in the United States use at least 37, if not 40 or 42, cycles. The New York Times reported that these tests can produce 40% to 90% false positive results. (If you don’t have a subscription you can read the summary from Apoorva Mandavilli’s Twitter account.)

Hopefully this once again shows that the entire COVID-19 debacle is built upon a house of cards.  A test designed to pretty much show only positives.

This purposely flawed testing is the  premise behind all of the lockdowns, restrictions, mask mandates, school closures, and contact tracing.

COVIDGATE: The Corruption of Clinical Trials (Part One)

By Michelle Malkin

“Truly striking.” “Tremendous.” “Extraordinary.” “Miraculous.” “A great day for science and humanity.” Those are just a few of the hyperbolic responses from government health officials and Big Pharma cheerleaders to preliminary COVID vaccine trial data released by Pfizer and Moderna this past week.

If it all sounds too good to be true, then congratulations: Your B.S. detector is fully charged and operational.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

This commentary is spot on.  And it’s never been more important to have your B.S. detector fully charged than now when logic and proper debate has left science.  We’ve entered the “spin zone.”

Malkin points out the issues:

  1. Fauci’s continual flip-flopping on everything from masks to testing
  2. Normalcy can supposedly only return when everyone gets a yet to be proven vaccine 
  3. Various industries are exploring vaccine status verification systems – all of which is based upon press released write-ups from vaccine manufacturers
  4. Despite NOT being peer-reviewed, Fauci states “it’s all good”
  5. No one knows length of protection of the vaccine
  6. No one knows how this affects children as schools prepare to mandate the vaccine to obtain an education
  7. No one knows the synergistic effects of this vaccine with others
  8. No one knows the long-term effects of this vaccine
  9. The Pfizer clinical data is explained here: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/11/14/pfizer-covid-vaccine-frenzy-high-volume-of-adverse-reactions-expected/
  10. The Moderna trial is also being tested on those with a low risk of COVID
  11. The question to ask is how did they define a positive COVID case?
  12. Malkin points to the BMJ which defined this as including those even with only mild symptoms to qualify.  So people with simply a cough and positive lab test qualify.  Please see:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/07/01/us-scientist-manufactured-pandemic-testing-people-for-any-strain-of-coronavirus-not-specifically-covid-19/  Many of these people don’t have COVID
  13. ZERO trials were designed to detect a reduction in any serious outcomes (hospital admission, intensive care, or death)
  14. ZERO trials are designed to determine if they interrupt viral transmission
  15. Moderna’s trial lacks adequate statistical power to assess severe COVID-19 outcomes.  The reason?  Hospital admissions and deaths are too uncommon in the study population of 30,000 people

Important excerpt:

Vaccinating billions of people to prevent a disease with a 99% survival rate for people under 70 — all based on clinical trial efficacy analysis of less than 200 COVID-19 cases involving patients with coughs and unreliable PCR tests with significant false positive rates — is not the triumph of science. It’s corruption and it’s the tip of the iceberg.

Excerpt:

  • According to a study that examined how informed consent is given to COVID-19 vaccine trial participants, disclosure forms fail to inform volunteers that the vaccine might make them susceptible to more severe disease if they’re exposed to the virus
  • Previous coronavirus vaccine efforts — including those for SARS, MERS and RSV — have revealed a serious concern: The vaccines have a tendency to trigger antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE)
  • ADE means that rather than enhance your immunity against the infection, the vaccine actually enhances the virus’ ability to enter and infect your cells, resulting in more severe disease than had you not been vaccinated

“Greatest Hoax Ever Perpetrated on an Unsuspecting Public” Says Medical Specialist

**UPDATE Jan. 2023**

Proving Dr. Hodkinson correct, Dr. David Martin exposes the names and faces of the people killing humanity.

Since Youtube censored this video, you can hear Hodkinson on Rumble here.

“This is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public.

There is absolutely nothing that can be done to contain this virus other than protecting older more vulnerable people.  It should be thought of as nothing more than a bad flu season. This is not Ebola, it’s not SARS.  It’s politics playing medicine and that’s a very dangerous game.

I’m absolutely outraged that this has reached this level.  It should all stop tomorrow.”  ~ Dr. Rodger Hodkinson

Dr. Rodger Hodkinson, a medical specialist in pathology which includes virology, chairman of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Committee in Ottawa, and CEO of a large private medical laboratory in Edmonton, Alberta and chairman of a medical biotechnical company which is selling a COVID test.

Hodkinson reminds the listener that a positive test does NOT indicate clinical infection.

Hodkinson also supports The Great Barrington Declaration:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/10/06/covid-experts-there-is-another-way-please-sign-the-declaration/

Immunity to the Coronavirus May Last Years, New Data Hint

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/17/health/coronavirus-immunity

Blood samples from recovered patients suggest a powerful, long-lasting immune response, researchers reported.

How long might immunity to the coronavirus last? Years, maybe even decades, according to a new study — the most hopeful answer yet to a question that has shadowed plans for widespread vaccination.

Eight months after infection, most people who have recovered still have enough immune cells to fend off the virus and prevent illness, the new data show. A slow rate of decline in the short term suggests, happily, that these cells may persist in the body for a very, very long time to come.

The research, published online, has not been peer-reviewed nor published in a scientific journal. But it is the most comprehensive and long-ranging study of immune memory to the coronavirus to date.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

While it’s true this study has not been peer-reviewed or published in a bought-out scientific journal, it completely aligns with other findings and what has occurred historically for viruses.

  • survivors of SARS carry certain important immune cells 17 years after recovering
  • a study at the University of Washington show “memory” cells persist for at least 3 months after infection
  • those recovered from COVID-19 have powerful and protective killer immune cells even when antibodies are not detectable.  Many immunologists have noted that it is completely  natural for antibody levels to drop, as they are just one arm of the immune system.
  • a Yale immunologist is not surprised by the long-lasting response because “that’s what is supposed to happen.”  Akiko Iwasaki
  • another immunologist stated that typically people get infected a second time but that the immune system recognizes it and resolves it so quickly you remain asymptomatic and not infectious, and that “sterilizing immunity” is rare and not the norm
  • the new study by Sette et al., the first to chart the immune response in such detail, looked at antibodies, B cells, and two types of T cells – to better understand the whole immune response over time
  • an author of the study frequently cited suggesting fading immunity admits that reinfections with the coronavirus are rare
  • while immunity duration is difficult to predict studies so far show even small numbers of antibodies or T & B cells may be enough and that study participants have been making “robust amounts”
  • emerging evidence on reinfections with common cold coronaviruses are a result of viral genetic variations and may not be relevant to COVID-19
These results along with successful COVID treatments reveal once again that an experimental, fast-tracked, adverse reaction riddled vaccine isn’t needed.

Author of The Great Barrington Declaration: ‘I Did Not Accept Payment’

A contagion of hatred and hysteria: Oxford epidemiologist PROFESSOR SUNETRA GUPTA tells how she has been intimidated and shamed for backing shielding instead of lockdown

By PROFESSOR SUNETRA GUPTA 

PUBLISHED:

(See link for article)  Important excerpts from Professor Sunetra Gupta:

I was utterly unprepared for the onslaught of insults, personal criticism, intimidation and threats that met our proposal. The level of vitriol and hostility, not just from members of the public online but from journalists and academics, has horrified me.

Covid-19 is not a political phenomenon. It is a public health issue — indeed, it is one so serious that the response to it has already led to a humanitarian crisis. So I have been aghast to see a political rift open up, with outright abuse meted out to those who, like me, question the orthodoxy.

At the heart of our proposal is the recognition that mass lockdowns cause enormous damage. We are already seeing how current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health.

I was also deeply concerned that lockdowns only delay the inevitable spread of the virus. Indeed, we believe that a better way forward would be to target protective measures at specific vulnerable groups, such as the elderly in care homes.

This pandemic is an international crisis. To shut down the discussion with abuse and smears — that is truly dangerous.

Yet of all the criticisms flung at us, the one I find most upsetting is the accusation that we are indulging in ‘policy-based evidence-making’ — in other words, drumming up facts to fit our ideological agenda.

According to Wikipedia, for instance, the Great Barrington Declaration was funded by a Right-wing think-tank with links to climate-change deniers.

It should be obvious to anyone that writing a short proposal and posting it on a website requires no great financing. But let me spell it out, since, apparently, I have to: I did not accept payment to co-author the Great Barrington Declaration.

But rest assured. Whatever they throw at us, it won’t do anything to sway me — or my colleagues — from the principles that sit behind what we wrote.

Professor Sunetra Gupta is an infectious disease epidemiologist and a professor of theoretical epidemiology at the Department of Zoology, University of Oxford. Her fee for this article has been donated to The Childhood Trust, a charity which fights to alleviate the impact of child poverty.

The AMA/CDC/FDA with a complicit media is quite adept at smear campaigns. They bully anyone who defies their narrative or attempts to compete with their lucrative products. This happens continually to Lyme doctors and alternative health providers:

It has happened to researchers who defy the narrative:  

For more on those defying the COVID narrative (the number grows daily):  

Medicine is doomed when it quits listening to patients and when it bullies those with differing ideas.
