**UPDATE June, 2022**

Now, according to a top EU politician, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, head of the WHO, confessed that COVID sprang from a lab, that lost control of it.  But, publicly the WHO speaks a different tune and states that ‘all hypotheses remain on the table.’  Read on for more duplicity.

Reporter at U.S. Right to Know, Emily Kopp, describes recent steps to get to the bottom of the United States’ involvement in gain of function research in Wuhan.

  • A FOIA lawsuit has been filed by U.S. Right to Know against the State Department for documents related to a State Dept. investigation of the origins of COVID, Ecohealth Alliance, gain-of-function research, dual use research of concern and the Global Virome Project.
  • Kopp gave a fitting quote: “The problem with modern society is that we have medieval institutions but godlike technology.”
  • EcoHealth Alliance concealed COVID Research data in effort to preserving funding.
  • A recent NIH public talk had virologists and lobbyists representing life sciences professionals pushing back on the idea we need to take a second look at how we regulate dangerous research that could lead to pandemics. Further, these virologists want to limit FOIA requests.
  • American virologists & lab directors stated they had more access to what was going on in Wuhan than what they actually did, making it a fairly one-sided collaboration without oversight.
  • Privately, these U.S. virologists worry about a lab leak but publicly assure the public it’s all good.

For more:

If it weren’t for these FOIA requests we wouldn’t know a half of what we now know.  These scientists need to be held accountable for their work and transparency is required, particularly with dual research as it can be dangerous and have long-term ramifications to the public.

Top US Scientist Tried to Help Wuhan Lab Counter Virus Leak Concerns

Efforts coincide with push to deepen collaboration with China
By Eva Fu
Updated: May 16, 2022

As the pandemic engulfed the world in 2020, a top U.S. scientist that had for years worked with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) actively tried to help Chinese researchers at the lab counter concerns that the virus might have originated from the facility, newly released emails show.

These efforts include alerting Chinese scientists of U.S. investigations into the lab and providing them with a list of questions to answer to help respond to outside concerns.

Meanwhile, the U.S. scientist James LeDuc, the then-director of the Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), and his colleagues, engaged in a concerted effort to strengthen their partnership with the Wuhan institute, even as scrutiny over the lab as a potential source of the outbreak mounted as the pandemic progressed, the emails revealed.  (See link for article)

__________________

SUMMARY:

  • Due to an email trove released under the Texas Public Information Act requests made by U.S. Right to Know and Judicial Watch we now know prominent U.S. scientists publicly and privately came to the defense of their colleagues at the WIV and China’s health agencies.
  • LeDuc offered suggestions to his Chinese contemporaries on how to counter “misinformation.”
  • The Chinese government has not allowed outside investigators to inspect records and data from the facility.
  • The lab collaborated with the Chinese military and has actively suppressed information – particularly that staff were hospitalized with COVID-like symptoms in Nov., 2019.
  • The Galveston National Laboratory is a federally-funded P4 facility that has trained staff from the WIV and conducted joint research projects with them since 2013. LeDuc and other senior UTMB staff maintained close contact with WIV scientists, including Shi.
  • A 2017 signed memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and with the WIV entitles the WIV to request the destruction of “secret files” of virtually any and all documents.
  • A 2020 draft statement on Galveston letterhead describes Shi’s bat-associated coronavirus research from a 2015 meeting where she states there was significant potential risk of transmission of some of these viruses to humans.
  • LeDuc publicly defended Chinese initial response to the pandemic as he and some colleagues privately expressed frustration at the Chinese scientist’s lack of response.

Ticks killed nearly 90 percent of moose calves tracked by scientists in 2 Maine counties last year

Maine is home to the largest moose population in the lower 48 states. But in one of the moosiest corners of the state, nearly 90 percent of the calves tracked by biologists last winter didn’t survive their first year.

And the culprit? A tiny critter that is thriving in parts of Maine as the climate warms.

“You look at one data sheet after another of what we found in the woods on these moose and it’s the same profile every time: it is winter tick,” said Lee Kantar, the lead moose biologist with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.

Winter ticks, which are sometimes called moose ticks, have been pestering Maine moose for about a century and likely longer. But their numbers have exploded in parts of Maine, New Hampshire, Minnesota and southern Canada. It’s not uncommon for biologists or hunters to find moose infested with 40,000, 75,000 or even 90,000 ticks. Some infested moose rub themselves virtually bald trying to scrape off the irritating ticks, creating the phenomenon known as “ghost moose.”

Many adult cows can survive such a massive tick load. Calves are another story, however. (See link for article)

__________________

SUMMARY:

  • Winter or moose ticks hunt in packs unlike deer and dog ticks.  Another tick that is becoming more of a problem and also forms clusters is the Asian Longhorned tick.
  • While the article focuses on shortened winters and longer falls and calls this “climate change,” an independent tick researcher has shown that ticks are virtually impervious to weather conditions.  Further, nobody wants to discuss the very real climate engineering our government and nefarious players are doing that is to blame.
  • They are studying whether reducing the adult moose populations in the same areas where the calves were collared can improve overall health by lowering tick numbers.
  • Research suggests ticks are leading to fewer moose births.
  • One moose Kantar did a field necropsy on showed bony hips, patches of missing hair, bone marrow devoid of fat, and white organs suggesting severe anemia caused by the lack of blood due to tick infestation.  Even while being dead 4 days, the carcass is covered with ticks. Her unborn calf never would have made it due to being malnourished.

A Maine Farmer’s Tick Is So Bad, She’s Going to Burn Up Her Property

After relocating from Florida last year to start an organic farm in Maine, Elizabeth Jimenez is on a mission to rid her land of ticks.

Part of his tick management plan is getting scorched.

Jimenez, along with Guy Johnson and Adrian Sotropa, are turning the three-acre farm in Friendship into organic parks and orchards. She and a team of volunteers are also starting a Karuna Healing Center on the property. (See link for article)

__________________

SUMMARY:

  • Jimenez stated he was surprised from the amount and the aggressiveness of ticks.
  • He decided to conduct a series of controlled burns using a propane torch as he wanted to avoid chemicals.
  • The manager of The University of Maine’s tick lab states that it was even worse last year.
  • Local farmers are talking to fire department officials on how to safely and effectively burn.
  • After the burn, Jimenez plans to build a wide buffer of wood chips to discourage them from going back inside. The wood chips are not tick deterrents; however, and really only serve as a visual cue to humans.
  • Research shows that burning underbrush in woodland settings to be very effective in reducing tick populations short term.  The problem is once vegetation reproduces it creates a perfect tick habitat, requiring ongoing tick management techniques
  • Once winter arrives Jimenez plans to keep the field plowed and snow free so the ticks are exposed to the cold which may kill dog ticks but will probably have little to no effect on deer ticks that tend to be in more woodland areas.
  • The best way to target ticks is a multidisciplinary approach using multiple methods.

Tick-borne diseases and co-infection: Current considerations

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ttbdis.2020.101607Get rights and content

Abstract

Over recent years, a multitude of pathogens have been reported to be tick-borne. Given this, it is unsurprising that these might co-exist within the same tick, however our understanding of the interactions of these agents both within the tick and vertebrate host remains poorly defined. Despite the rich diversity of ticks, relatively few regularly feed on humans, 12 belonging to argasid and 20 ixodid species, and literature on co-infection is only available for a few of these species. The interplay of various pathogen combinations upon the vertebrate host and tick vector represents a current knowledge gap. The impact of co-infection in humans further extends into diagnostic challenges arising when multiple pathogens are encountered and we have little current data upon which to make therapeutic recommendations for those with multiple infections. Despite these short-comings, there is now increasing recognition of co-infections and current research efforts are providing valuable insights into dynamics of pathogen interactions whether they facilitate or antagonize each other. Much of this existing data is focussed upon simultaneous infection, however the consequences of sequential infection also need to be addressed. To this end, it is timely to review current understanding and highlight those areas still to address.

**UPDATE June, 2022**

Please learn about the recent action to obtain information from the NIH on royalty payments.

NIH Research Executive Received 70 Secret Royalty Payments; Colleague Got 7

By Mark Tapscott
Updated: May 18, 2022

Two key National Institutes for Health (NIH) executives in positions of influence on decisions about who gets grants from the agency received a total of 77 previously undisclosed royalty payments from outside firms between 2010 and 2014.

The secret royalty payments, which were first reported by The Epoch Times, are among thousands estimated to total at least $350 million paid between 2010 and 2020. Former NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins received 14 payments, Anthony Fauci, who heads NIH’s National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), received 23, and Clifford Lane, Fauci’s chief deputy, got eight payments.

Acting NIH Director Lawrence Tabak conceded during questioning last week by Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) that the undisclosed royalties had the “appearance of a conflict of interest,” but he insisted that the agency has sufficient internal safeguards to prevent such problems. Federal law and ethics regulations bar federal employees from activities that present either the appearance or an actual conflict of interest. (See link for article)

___________________

SUMMARY:

  • NIH deputy Director for intramural research, Dr. Michael Gottesman, also received 70 payments from 2010-2014.  Gottesman provides guidance for the entire program, oversees and approves hiring of al NIH principal investigators, and is responsible for human subjects research protections, research integrity, technology transfer, animal care and use at NIH, created the post-baccalaureate training program which permits grad students to conduct thesis research, implemented loan repayment programs, created an intramural tenure track and new career track for clinical investigators, created the NIH intramural database, and spearheaded other programs in diversity, equity, research integrity, and leadership.
  • Gottesman announced his resignation in July 2021, pending selection of a successor, and plans to remain as chief of the laboratory of cell biology  in the NIH National Cancer Institute.
  • The NIH ignored the request for information until a FOIA lawsuit was filed.  It has also redacted payment amounts and payers’ identities so details remain a mystery.
  • NIH associate director for international research, Roger Glass, also received 7 royalty payments of unknown amounts from unknown payers.
  • Congressional Democrats were silent when asked about the secret royalty payments, while Republicans are calling for full disclosure with one senator calling the NIH a “dark money pit.”
  • Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) called for an investigation, noting: “Of course it’s a direct conflict of interest for scientists like Anthony Fauci to rake in $350 million in royalties from third parties who benefit from federal taxpayer-funded grants.  “Anthony Fauci is a millionaire that has gotten rich off taxpayer dollars. He is a prime example of the bloated federal bureaucracy. This royalty system should be examined to ensure it isn’t making matters worse.”

DOD Edits Medical Database to Hide Military COVID-19 Vaccine Injuries as U.S. Military is Decimated by the Mandatory Shots

by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News

Lt. Col. Peter Chambers has a 38-year career in the military. He is a Green Beret Commander having served in the Special Forces, and he is a military doctor, serving as a flight surgeon and combat medic. He has earned the Purple Heart and Bronze Star Medal, as well as other military awards for his service.

Lt. Col. Peter Chambers became a whistleblower after suffering neurological issues following mandatory COVID-19 vaccines, and seeing similar vaccine injuries in other soldiers, including: strokes, blood clots, cerebral bleeding, and various neurological injuries.

He began to research vaccine injuries following the COVID-19 vaccines that were mandated for service members, in the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) sponsored by the DOD.

He has most recently been deployed in Texas, near the Texas-Mexico border as a task force surgeon, where he began to provide “informed consent” counseling to over 3000 soldiers at the border regarding the COVID-19 vaccines, sharing with them the data he had uncovered in DMED, VAERS, NIH and other government sources.

Being in Texas, he also informed them that doctors could prescribe early treatments for COVID, such as Ivermectin, which are very effective in overcoming the symptoms associated with COVID-19.

As a result, only 6 service members out of 3000 decided to comply with the COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

Dr. Chambers was approached by a 2-star general who asked why his vaccination rates were so low, to which he replied:

Sir, we have a regulation, AR 40-562 chapter 8 paragraph 4, clearly states that under emergency use authorization, I must do informed consent. It’s a regulation.

Sir, I do things legally, morally, ethically, and first of all “do no harm.”

The general allegedly became very angry with Dr. Chambers and stated:

You will cease and desist giving those informed consents.

Dr. Chambers looked at him straight in the eye and replied:

Sir, that is an unlawful order, and I will not follow that order.

The general then allegedly fired him on the spot, and Dr. Chambers’ military career was basically over at that point.

Dr. Chambers replied:

OK. But Sir, I am the only medical doctor down here on the border. Do you have anybody else? We’re getting shot at once in a while, you know that, I am a combat trauma doctor, and I’ve stopped a lot of bleeding.

After informing the general that he had filed a whistleblower complaint, the general did some checking, and about an hour later stated that Dr. Chambers was not fired, but that he would be replaced.

Dr. Chambers had joined Dr. Theresa Long, another military doctor who is also a flight surgeon, in a lawsuit filed by Attorney Thomas Renz against the U.S. Military’s mandatory COVID-19 vaccination program.

Go to top link to listen to the whole interview between Dr. Chambers and Steve Kirsch recorded back in March of this year. It is 21 minutes long, and WELL WORTH the time.

At the end of this interview, Dr. Chambers stated:

“If we don’t stop this, our military is going to be decimated.”

Within a day or two of this interview, their whistleblower case reached the U.S. Supreme Court which ruled 6-3 against Navy Seals being entitled to a religious exemption for COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

At the same time, New York City Mayor Eric Adams issued an executive order that exempted professional sports players and the entertainment industry from having to comply with COVID-19 vaccine mandates. See:

Insanity is the New Norm in the U.S. as Professional Sports Players can be Exempt from COVID Vaccine Mandates but Navy Seals Cannot

Now, Just the News is reporting that Dr. Chambers and other military medical doctor whistleblowers can no longer depend upon the data in DMED because:

“[The] DOD took down, edited and restored the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database earlier this year after whistleblowers including Chambers testified on the reported spike (in vaccine injuries) in a legal challenge.”

The department told PolitiFact …. the 2021 spike was the product of a “glitch” that caused severe underreporting of 2016-2020 figures. That would mean the military underreported cases by about 20 million a year during that period, whistleblower lawyer Tom Renz said.

Chambers told Just the News that DMED used to be more trustworthy than the government’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System but now it’s “completely unusable” because DOD changed many diagnoses that suggested vaccine injury after the military doctors went public.

Working on the border with the Texas National Guard, he personally observed highly unusual problems in “a healthy population that should not be seeing these things,” from myocarditis to “brain bleeds,” and continues to receive similar reports in his “retirement section.”

Chambers said he developed demyelination after getting the Moderna vaccine in January 2021, which led him and Lt. Col. Theresa Long, another whistleblower, to review DMED.

**Comment**

Our military is in harms way, not just from bullets but from mandatory “vaccines” as well as tick-borne infections that do not get proper recognition.  The COVID shots in particular have been linked with heart inflammation specifically in a study involving the U.S. military.

If you are unfamiliar with the story on how the DOD “recalibrated” health surveillance data, see this article, as well as this article which states the Pentagon’s reaction only seems to be concerned with exonerating the “vaccine,” not fixing its own alleged health surveillance problem.

SUMMARY:

  • The DOD magically and suddenly discovered 5 years of “false data” only after attorney Renz came forth with shockingly dramatic increases in medical diagnoses among the military.
  • According to Horowitz, the DOD is only concerned with downplaying any potential culpability of the vaccine, not explaining how military health data could be so wrong.
  • This means the CDC was looking at data for months that showed insane safety signals and did nothing about it, and somehow nobody in HHS or the DOD all along thought the data was a “glitch.”
  • Horowitz further states that there is no way the “new” data could be updated so quickly.
  • Just take a look at the two graphs, the first of which shows the original data of total outpatient diagnoses before the Pentagon changed it:

And here is the top-line tally for 2016-2020 based on the new numbers added:

  • The mysteriously sudden changes make 2021 look exactly in line with every other year, despite COVID and “vaccine” injuries
  • The initial data downloaded by military whistleblowers makes more more sense because it accommodates both COVID and “vaccine” injury,
  • The updated data is makes zero sense as all active duty soldiers are medically screened, and obesity, diabetes, and heart conditions are very rare among this healthy population. If there is truly over 20 million diagnoses every year in the military there is something seriously wrong.
  • The silence both from the media and congressional members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees is astounding.
  • One of two things is true:
    • there was mass “vaccine” injury in the military
    • our military is very unhealthy and the Pentagon completely lost control over epidemiological surveillance of these health issues for years
Either way, it doesn’t look good.
