Doubts have been raised over a much-lauded Oxford University COVID-19 vaccine which experts say could fail to prevent individuals catching the virus, after trial results emerged.
The government has promised to invest £20 million ($24m) to support teams at Oxford University engaged in the global race to find a vaccine.
However, following the publication of detailed trial results last week, it was found that the vaccine was unable to prevent monkeys from catching the COVID-19 virus. (See Link for Article)
James Lyons Weiler, PhD also gives the following chilling prediction:
When Phase I trials become Phase II trials people will start getting infected w/SARS-CoV-2 following vaccination and start dying at even higher rates due to disease enhancement caused by Pathogenic Priming from SARS-CoV-2 vaccination – something the vaccine developers SHOULD have tested for in animal studies, but skipped.
While more and more places roll out mandatory mask policies the facts suggest that they may not be providing us with the protection that we think they are.
Reflect On:What’s your stance on mask wearing in public places? Have you done the research on both sides to come to an informed rather than fear-based decision?
Initially I respected the call by my local Governor in Connecticut to protect our fellow citizens. Deep down I thought it was a little foolish to mandate masks, but love all people and thought I would wear one to help others feel safer. Then, I started digging a little further into the scientific literature. I have discovered that masks are neither safe nor effective. So, as schools prepare to create policies for children returning to school in the fall, we must keep these things in mind. (See link for article)

This is an important topic that needs to be discussed. Policy is being set forcing people into wearing face-masks – in essence civil liberties are being taken away and coercion is taking place. You have every right to question policy that infringes upon your rights.
People laboring outdoors, lifting heavy things and working hard are wearing masks. Servers at restaurants are wearing masks while they do physical labor for hours at a time. Impeding air flow while doing physical labor is unwise. Interestingly, none of the people in the restaurant I was in had masks on – just the employees doing all the work!
I’ve never had an issue with those who choose to wear a mask. That is their civil liberties at work. What I do have an issue with is bullying from those who feel they have the higher ground and draconian policy infringing upon individual freedoms of health people just going about their business.
Surgeons and medical people wear masks for obvious reasons. Those working with chemicals, dust, and other things that hurt the lungs wears masks. But, there is no historical precedent for the healthy population to wear masks, and there are good, scientific reasons for this.
Dr. Jeff Barke (30 year board certified MD) blows a hole in the MSM’s fake Corona Virus narrative and explains why it’s so important to get the country open as quickly and safely as possible. Dr. Barke has received personal attacks for his stance.
People are dying waiting for surgeries that are considered “unessential.”
The Suicide rate is is the highest since the Great Depression.
30 million Americans are now unemployed which means government dependency is at an all time high.
Drug abuse is high.
Spouse abuse is high.
Child abuse is high.
Felons are being let out of jail.
Many of the restrictions are over-board, illogical, and arbitrary.
Health care shouldn’t be about politics, but they have made hydroxychloroquine a political issue.
He points out the idiocy of being able to stand in line at Costco but not be able to stand in line to vote.
A new grassroots organization of doctors is telling the nation it needs a second opinion about the way to handle this pandemic medically and mentally.
During a media call, several of these doctors spoke of horrible medical results for people because of excessive panic over the coronavirus. They also told of harm done to ill or injured people because the medical world has been largely cut off to them while almost all resources have been redirected to deal exclusively with COVID-19.
Dr. Simone Gold is an emergency room physician documenting these harms as she’s contacted fellow medical professionals across the country and helped form this new group A Doctor A Day. (See link for article)

Secondary effects are finally beginning to be reported – although, this is just the tip of the ice-berg.
Important quote:
“The volume in the emergency department is incredibly low. Maybe 60 percent of what it usually is. And this is across the nation. Everybody’s had the same experience, excluding the New York metropolitan area.” Dr. Simone Gold, ER physician
Gold goes onto state they are firing 50% of their technicians, and laying off 35% of their ER physicians.
Dr. Jeff Barke, a primary care physician in Newport Beach, California also points out the illogic of isolating healthy people – which will hamper herd immunity. He argues schools should open up.
Barke puts much of the blame on the media for stigmatizing being positive for COVID.
Psychiatrist Dr. Mark McDonald states his patients are in a state of panic, drinking again, and thinking of committing suicide. He feels what we are seeing is a ‘pandemic of hysteria,’ not a medical pandemic. Worse of all, there’s nowhere for these patients to go. All the AA meetings and support groups are gone.
When the L.A. School District went to an online system, 15,000 students just disappeared and 40,000 were not in daily contact with their teachers.
Barke states that waiting on a vaccination or a cure in order to open up schools makes no scientific sense whatever.
New Study: Hydroxychloroquine + Zinc Greatly Reduces COVID-19 Health Risk
Published on
Written by dcwhispers.com
While the main stream media yet again is pushing recycled headlines about a New York “study” of very ill patients who were NOT actually given the combination of hydroxychloroquine and zinc which concluded these near-death patients did no better or worse when given the drug, another study showing a very different result was largely ignored by these same media outlets.
Imagine that.
Check out this headline coming out of New York as well which showed the combination of hydroxychloroquine and zinc slashed the risk of death from the coronavirus by nearly half.
NEW YORK – Researchers at NYU’s Grossman School of Medicine found patients given the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine along with zinc sulphate and the antibiotic azithromycin were 44 percent less likely to die from the coronavirus.
“Researchers at NYU’s Grossman School of Medicine found patients given the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine along with zinc sulphate and the antibiotic azithromycin were 44 percent less likely to die from the coronavirus.
“Certainly we have very limited options as far as what we have seen work for this infection so anything that may work is very exciting,” said Dr. Joseph Rahimian, Infectious Disease Specialist at NYU Langone Health.”
The study looked at the records of 932 COVID-19 patients treated at local hospitals with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.
More than 400 of them were also given 100 milligrams of zinc daily.
Researchers Said The Patients Given Zinc Were One And A Half Times More Likely To Recover, Decreasing Their Need For Intensive Care.
If one were to do an online news search right now for similar studies as above you will find story after story on the recycled New York study that showed no benefit from hydroxychloroquine while this other study (also from New York) that indicates the hydroxychloroquine + zinc combination shows remarkable promise, is receiving almost zero media coverage.
This is the same combination that has been touted by physicians all across America and the world as proving highly effective and yet here in the U.S. there are forces both in government and the media who continue to push this success to the side while also pushing yet more fear and panic of the disease.
Did you know that in Italy, one of the nations hardest hit by Covid 19, once doctors started initiating mass use of hydroxychloroquine and zinc, the death rate plummeted from a high of nearly a thousand a day to less than 200? This drug combination protocol has been repeated in other nations like South Korea, France, Bahrain, Turkey, Brazil, etc., with similar rates of success there as well as outlined in this excerpt from an April 21st scientific journal release:
“On March 23, 2020 a physician (Vladimir Zelenko) in Monroe, New York state, published online similar excellent outcomes on treating his patients with shortness of breath and any patient in the high-risk category with HCQ, azithromycin and zinc sulfate for five days in order to prevent hospitalization.
On April 17, 2020 doctors from a health care provider focused on mostly elderly and chronic patients in Brazil confirmed Raoul’s and Zelenko’s findings reporting that out of 636 symptomatic outpatients of the 224 who refused treatment (control group), 12 were hospitalized (5.4%), and of these 12 hospitalized, 5 patients died (41%) [12]. On the other hand, of the 412 outpatients treated with HCQ and azithromycin, only 8 were hospitalized (1.94%), and no deaths were observed. In case of early treatment (<7 days of symptoms) only 1.17% of treated patients needed hospitalization, while the percentage raised to 3.2% for late treatment (>7 days of symptoms). These outcomes were even more remarkable considering that patients in the treatment groups had higher prevalence of comorbidities including diabetes, immunosuppression state and stroke [12]. “
Again, why is there such push-back going on in the United States from the far-left media to dismiss what appears to be the undeniable effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine + zinc in combatting Covid-19?
Something very weird is going on here and people have been dying by the thousands because of it.
Good news, possibly life-saving news, is being pushed aside while bad news, not matter how flawed or biased, is put front and center in an effort to convince tens of millions that there is currently no real treatment options for the coronavirus even as so much data out there appears to say that is simply not so.
Approximately $70 million in U.S. taxpayer funding began Gilead’s partnership with the U.S. Army, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop remdesivir. Initially for treating Ebola, it failed to show benefit and was shelved. If remdesivir is used to treat COVID-19, Gilead shareholders, not the taxpayers, will profit.
HCQ directly competes with the favored profitable treatment of remdesivir.
In fact the article states that 9 of the 19 experts on the COVID-19 treatment panel have financial interests in Gilead Science.See the problem?
Gilead’s own press release revealed the side effect of acute respiratory failure in 6% of patients in the remdesivir five-day treatment group, and 10.7% of patients in the 10-day treatment group, clearly ominous findings with a drug designed to treat respiratory failure caused by COVID-19.
Dr. Steven Nissen, a Cleveland Clinic cardiologist who has conducted dozens of clinical trials, explained to The New York Times:
“The disclosure of trial results in a political setting, before peer review or publication, is very unusual. Scientists will need to see figures on harms associated with the drug in order to assess its benefits. … This is too important to be handled in such a sloppy fashion.”
Going back to 1997, Donald Rumsfeld chaired the Board of Directors at Gilead and after 2001 he held share packages valued at $5-25 Million. Gilead originally developed Tamiflu.George P Shultz, US Secretary of State also was on the board. He sold stocks at a value of more than $7 million. CA governor’s Pete Wilson’s wife also sat on the board.
“‘I don’t know of any biotech company that’s’ so politically well-connected [as Gilead],‘ Andrew McDonald, of the analyst firm Think Equity Partners, told Fortune.” (Source: “Virus Mania, How the Medical Industry Continually Invents Epidemics Making Billion Dollar Profits At Our Expense”)
The government’s disease-fighting agency is conflating viral and antibody tests, compromising a few crucial metrics that governors depend on to reopen their economies. Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas, and other states are doing the same.
GETTY / THE ATLANTICThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is conflating the results of two different types of coronavirus tests, distorting several important metrics and providing the country with an inaccurate picture of the state of the pandemic.We’ve learned that the CDC is making, at best, a debilitating mistake: combining test results that diagnose current coronavirus infections with test results that measure whether someone has ever had the virus.The upshot is that the government’s disease-fighting agency is overstating the country’s ability to test people who are sick with COVID-19. The agency confirmed to The Atlantic on Wednesday that it is mixing the results of viral and antibody tests, even though the two tests reveal different information and are used for different reasons. (See link for article)___________________**Comment**Important quote:
This is not merely a technical error. States have set quantitative guidelines for reopening their economies based on these flawed data points.
And there you have it for anyone who still cares.
The important take-away from this article is that the CDC is up to its usual bag of tricks. It just changed language on its website from stating that only viral tests are used in its figures to omitting all reference to the type of tests being used, but states:
“These data are compiled from a number of sources,” the new version read. The text strongly implied that both types of tests were included in the count, but did not explicitly say so.
The CDC loves to change parameters for its own purposes.
The article then goes on to show the reason for this change in language. The data had become more favorable showing about 1.5 million positive test results. After the CDC language change, the positive rate plummeted to 52,429.
The language change also concerns Ashish Jha, the K. T. Li Professor of Global Health at Harvard and the director of the Harvard Global Health Institute, because antibody tests typically have a lower percent-positive rate than viral tests. Blending the two types of tests will dramatically drive the positive rate down – it also makes them both “uninterpretable.”
Why would the CDC purposely want to drive the positive rate down?
Could it be to propel the “viral mania” and fear seen in everyone’s eyes? Could it be used to support the continuing draconian measures and the push for an unsafe vaccine which is riddled with problems but can track everyone’s movements?
The article also states that places where the rate of new infections aren’t falling are among the states blending the two types of testing.
Keep that fact in mind when you look at the maps reporting case counts.
What’s sad is the damage is done and most will never hear this update.
A great explanation of the two tests is given in the first article as well as the comparison of viral testing that’s used to understand how many people are getting infected, vs. antibody testing which looks back at the overall picture.
But this is all assuming the tests are accurate in the first place, which they are not.
The most common COVID-19 test, the nasal swab test, has an accuracy rate as low as 70%.
Regarding antibody testing, a report by more than 50 scientists found that only three out of 14 antibody tests gave consistently reliable results, andeven the best had flaws.
Accuracy data only become available in a database after the FDA connects real-work experiences, but after “approval” has already been given. In other words, you are the Guinea Pig providing the “real world data.”
95% of the data comes from manufacturers while only 5% come from doctors and patients. See the problem?
