It’s deja-vu all over again with the W.H.O. declaring “pandemics” that result in gold rushes for pharmaceutical companies who swoop in with vaccines to save the day. But are they actually saving anyone? Or do serious adverse events such as the very real narcolepsy epidemic that we saw in the swine flu “pandemic” of 2009—which many researchers tie to GSK’s Pandemrix—counter any perceived benefits of these rushed vaccines? The Jab breaks down what happened in 2009 and why it’s critical that we understand this today.
In the summer of 2009, the CDC secretly stops counting Swine Flu cases in America, because the overwhelming percentage of lab tests from likely Swine Flu patients shows no sign of Swine Flu or any other kind of flu.
THERE IS NO SWINE FLU EPIDEMIC.
Then, the CDC estimates there are 22 MILLION cases of Swine Flu in the US.
So…the premise that the CDC would never lie about important matters like, oh, a vaccine causing autism…you can lay that one to rest.
The CDC will lie about anything it wants to. It will boldly go where no person interested in real science will go.
Children’s Health Defense (CHD), founded by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., created “The Jab” video, which highlights the gold rush that occurred for pharmaceutical companies when the World Health Organization declared swine flu a pandemic in 2009
It was June 11, 2009, when WHO declared H1N1 swine flu to be a Phase 6 global influenza pandemic, even though it had caused only 144 deaths worldwide
The pandemic declaration put previously arranged “sleeping contracts” into an active state, to the tune of $18 billion directed to the production of H1N1 vaccines, including GSK’s Pandemrix
Pandemrix was causally linked to childhood narcolepsy but GSK didn’t face any repercussions
Prior to the pandemic’s declaration, WHO changed their definition of “pandemic,” removing the previous requirement that it cause “enormous numbers” of deaths
Now, in the midst of another controversial pandemic, we’re facing an eerily similar playbook — with pharmaceutical companies eager to cash in on the first COVID-19 vaccine, begging the question, “Are we are being played — again?”
Lyme disease caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb or B. burgdorferi) is the most common vector-borne, multi-systemic disease in the USA. Although most Lyme disease patients can be cured with a course of the first line of antibiotic treatment, some patients are intolerant to currently available antibiotics, necessitating the development of more effective therapeutics. We previously found several drugs, including disulfiram, that exhibited effective activity against B. burgdorferi. In the current study, we evaluated the potential of repurposing the FDA-approved drug, disulfiram for its borreliacidal activity.
Our results indicate disulfiram has excellent borreliacidal activity against both the log and stationary phase B. burgdorferi sensu stricto B31 MI. Treatment of mice with disulfiram eliminated the B. burgdorferi sensu stricto B31 MI completely from the hearts and urinary bladder by day 28 post infection.
Moreover, disulfiram-treated mice showed reduced expressions of inflammatory markers, and thus they were protected from histopathology and cardiac organ damage.
Furthermore, disulfiram-treated mice showed significantly lower amounts of total antibody titers (IgM and IgG) at day 21 and total IgG2b at day 28 post infection.
FACS analysis of lymph nodes revealed a decrease in the percentage of CD19+ B cells and an increase in total percentage of CD3+ T cells, CD3+ CD4+ T helpers, and naive and effector memory cells in disulfiram-treated mice.
Together, our findings suggest that disulfiram has the potential to be repurposed as an effective antibiotic for treating Lyme disease.View Full-Text
While health experts in the U.S. and many other countries are warning of a second wave of COVID-19 as we move into fall and winter, Sweden does not expect a reemergence of widespread contagion as herd immunity appears to have been established
Rather than locking down the whole country, Sweden only temporarily closed high schools and colleges, banned gatherings of more than 50 people and asked seniors over the age of 70 to self-isolate
Anders Tegnell, the chief epidemiologist in charge of Sweden’s coronavirus response says the primary goal has been to slow the spread to avoid overwhelming medical services
As of mid-September 2020, Sweden’s infection rate had reached an all-time low and COVID-19 related deaths were at zero; 22 of 31 European countries, most of which enacted strict lockdowns, had higher infection rates
As a result of their sensible approach to the pandemic, Sweden has also largely escaped the financial ruin and skyrocketing mental health problems experienced in other areas, including the U.S.
While health experts in the U.S. and many other countries are warning of a second wave of COVID-19 as we move into fall and winter, one nation that does not appear to worry about a resurgence of people testing positive for the virus and/or hospitalizations and deaths attributable to COVID-19 is Sweden.
Anders Tegnell, the chief epidemiologist in charge of Sweden’s coronavirus response, has stated1he does not believe Sweden will see a second wave with widespread contagion as the country is seeing a rapid decline in positive tests, indicating herd immunity has been achieved.2
Sweden’s Trajectory Shows How Unnecessary Lockdowns Are
Sweden, one of the few countries that did not shut down schools and businesses or mandate strict social distancing or mask wearing rules, choosing the route of natural herd immunity development instead, has been sharply criticized by many over the past several months.
Rather than locking down the whole country, Sweden only temporarily closed high schools and colleges, banned gatherings of more than 50 people and asked seniors over the age of 70 to self-isolate. All others were simply asked to respect physical distancing recommendations, and to work from home whenever possible.
Tegnell told The Guardian3 that the primary goal has been to slow the spread to avoid overwhelming medical services. As you may recall, this was the original plan just about everywhere.The difference is, Sweden actually stuck to the original goal, whereas other nations have twisted response plans to, apparently, prevent infection transmission altogether, even among those for whom the risk of such an infection is vanishingly minor.
At this point, Sweden is proving to be a valuable test case, demonstrating just how ineffective and unnecessary the global shutdowns have been. Countries that enacted draconian freedom-restrictions are faring no better than Sweden, which allowed its citizenry to largely go about their business as usual. As noted by the National Review back in April 2020:4
“In theory, less physical interaction might slow the rate of new infections. But without a good understanding of how long COVID-19 viral particles survive in air, in water, and on contact surfaces, even that is speculative …
It is possible that the fastest and safest way to ‘flatten the curve’ is to allow young people to mix normally while requiring only the frail and sick to remain isolated.
This is, in fact, the first time we have quarantined healthy people rather than quarantining the sick and vulnerable. As Fredrik Erixon, the director of the European Centre for International Political Economy in Brussels, wrote5in The Spectator(U.K.) last week:
‘The theory of lockdown, after all, is pretty niche, deeply illiberal — and, until now, untested. It’s not Sweden that’s conducting a mass experiment. It’s everyone else.'”
UK Enacts New Restrictions in Face of Mounting ‘Cases’
Despite Sweden’s tactical success, many countries are continuing to enforce and even enact new lockdown restrictions due to new upticks in positive tests. For example, September 22, 2020, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced6 new restrictions, which he predicts may remain in place for the next six months, warning that if Britons fail to follow the rules, they may be looking at a second lockdown.
This, even though there’s no concomitant rise in hospitalizations or deaths.
The vast majority of people testing positive at this point remain asymptomatic.
Johnson’s announcement came on the heels of dire — and completely implausible — predictions by professor Chris Whitty and Sir Patrick Vallance, whose models predict the U.K. may be looking at 50,000 new “cases” (i.e., positive tests) per day by mid-October unless new restrictions are put into place.
In the video below, journalist Ben Swann reviews why such predictions are likely to be a gross overestimation, and one that is unlikely to result in a dramatic increase in hospitalizations or deaths.
Sweden’s Death Rate Hits Zero
Meanwhile, in Sweden, infection rates have reached an all-time low. As reported by The Guardian, September 16, 2020:7
“According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), the Scandinavian country’s 14-day cumulative total8 of new caseswas 22.2 per 100,000 inhabitants on Tuesday, against 279 in Spain, 158.5 in France, 118 in the Czech Republic, 77 in Belgium and 59 in the UK, all of which imposed lockdowns this spring.
Twenty-two of the 31 European countries surveyed by the ECDC had higher infection rates. New cases, now reported in Sweden only from Tuesday to Friday, are running at roughly the rate seen in late-March, while data from the national health agency showed only 1.2% of its 120,000 tests last week came back positive …
Thirteen Covid-19 patients are in intensive care in Swedish hospitals, and its seven-day average of coronavirus-related deaths is zero.”
The two graphs from The Guardian, below, show Sweden’s infection rate and deaths per million, compared to other countries that enforced stricter lockdown rules.
High Mortality Was Due to Nursing Home Failures
Initially, Tegnell’s approach came under fire as Sweden’s death toll soared five to 10 times higher than its neighboring countries, Denmark, Norway and Finland. However, Tegnell insists this early spike in deaths was not due to a lack of lockdowns or social distancing in general, but rather due to a failure to prevent infection in nursing homes, where a majority of the deaths actually occurred.
“Of course something went wrong there,” Tegnell told The Guardian.9 Other than that, Swedish authorities insist the strategy to encourage and trust citizens to take personal responsibility for their health and well-being has been the correct one.
Contrary to other nations, Sweden’s decision has also resulted in consistent public messaging about disease prevention, thereby avoiding the confusion, frustration and distrust that comes from getting mixed messages.
In April 2020, Emma Frans, science communicator and a postdoctoral researcher in medical epidemiology at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, told the National Review:10
“The strategy in Sweden is to focus on social distancing among the known risk groups, like the elderly. We try to use evidence-based [measures]. We try to adjust everyday life. The Swedish plan is to implement [measures] that you can practice for a long time.”
The Vanishing Middle-Class
As a result of their sensible approach to the pandemic, Sweden has also largely escaped the financial ruin experienced in other areas, including the U.S. This also means they’ve minimized the impact of the pandemic on mental health. As Tegnell told11 The Daily Mail, April 4, 2020, “We can’t kill all our services. And unemployed people are a great threat to public health. It’s a factor you need to think about.”
Indeed, preventing healthy people from working is upending the middle-class in the U.S. and elsewhere, and has (as expected) resulted in a massive rise in suicide and other tragedies. As noted by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in “How the Government Uses Fear to Control,” research from the 1980s found that for every 1-point rise in unemployment there were 37,000 excess deaths, 4,000 excess imprisonments and 3,300 excess admissions into mental institutions.
Kennedy also cites recent data from a hospital in San Francisco that stated they saw one year’s-worth of suicides in a single month, a 1,200% increase, and British research showing that while there were 30,000 excess deaths in nursing homes during a five-week period during the lockdown, only one-third of them were due to COVID-19.
In other words, the death rate from isolation was double that of the virus itself. People didn’t get the proper medical care for chronic conditions and so on. Kennedy also rightly points out that what we will see — and are already seeing — is the obliteration of the middle-class and the shift of wealth from the poor to the already ultra-rich.
A September 20, 2020, article12 in The Wall Street Journal highlights the financial devastation experienced by the American “loan-laden white-collar” middle-class. Journalist AnnaMaria Andriotis tells the story of Alysse Hopkins, a Rockland County, New York foreclosure and personal-injury lawyer:
“In a good year, the 43-year-old lawyer and her husband, Ian Boschen, 41, together brought in about $175,000, the couple said — enough to cover the mortgage, two car leases, student loans, credit cards and assorted costs of raising two daughters in the New York City suburbs.
After the coronavirus halted many foreclosures and closed courts, her work dried up. Unemployment benefits have helped, Ms. Hopkins said, but the family is running low on savings and can’t keep up with $9,000 in monthly debt payments including mortgage installments. ‘It frustrates me to not be able to earn a living,’ she said. ‘I have a law degree, almost 20 years of practice’ …
While lower-wage workers have borne much of the brunt, the crisis is wreaking a particular kind of havoc on the debt-laden middle class … The coronavirus has spared few industries and expanded unemployment benefits designed to replace the average American income didn’t cover all the lost pay of higher-earning workers, especially in or near expensive cities.
The extra $600 weekly payments expired in July, putting them even further behind. ‘What I see happening here is a core assault on successful college-educated families, which are the new breed of middle-class American families,’ said Anthony Carnevale, director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce. ‘There’s a professional workforce that’s getting slammed.'”
Lockdowns Have Likely Done More Harm Than Good
So far, most efforts to curb COVID-19 infection have proven to be ill advised. Evidence shows the illness spreads mostly indoors,13,14,15 for example, casting doubt on the sanity of closing parks and beaches, especially during the summer.
Importantly, the total all-cause mortality is not significantly different than in previous years, as discussed by my interview with Denis Rancourt. Many other deaths have been shifted to COVID-19, bringing a high spike in deaths, but when you look at the area under the curve for total deaths, it really doesn’t differ from previous years.
This statistic has also been highlighted by the American Institute for Economic Research.16 As early as April 2020, they referred to the COVID-19 pandemic as “An egregious statistical horror story” that resulted in “a vandalistic lockdown on the economy,” which:
” … would have been an outrage even if the assumptions were not wildly astronomically wrong. Flattening the curve was always a fool’s errand that widened the damage …
The latest figures on overall death rates from all causes show no increase at all. Deaths are lower than in 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2015, slightly higher than in 2016. Any upward bias is imparted by population growth.
Now writing a book on the crisis with bestselling author Jay Richards, [statistician William] Briggs concludes: ‘Since pneumonia deaths are up, yet all deaths are down, it must mean people are being recorded as dying from other things at smaller rates than usual.’ Deaths from other causes are simply being ascribed to the coronavirus.
As usual every year, deaths began trending downward in January. It’s an annual pattern. Look it up. Since the lockdown began in mid-March, the politicians cannot claim that their policies had anything to do with the declining death rate.
A global study17 published in Israel by Professor Isaac Ben-Israel, chairman of the Israeli Space Agency and Council on Research and Development, shows that ‘the spread of the coronavirus declines to almost zero after 70 days — no matter where it strikes, and no matter what measures governments impose to try to thwart it.’
In fact, by impeding herd immunity, particularly among students and other non-susceptible young people, the lockdown in the U.S. has prolonged and exacerbated the medical problem.”

**Comment**
The news states that there is an uptick in cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in Wisconsin from COVID. Please keep in mind a few things:
Since the data from Sweden proves harsh draconian lockdowns don’t work, we should adjust policies to reflect this fact rather than continue the fear-mongering and isolation. Remembering the goal of ‘slowing the spread,’ we should allow and encourage the young and healthy to freely move about, while protecting the elderly and infirm.
Dr. Richard Horowitz, lead-author: Effect of dapsone alone and in combination with intracellular antibiotics against the biofilm form of B. burgdorferi
New in vitro study on dapsone (diaminodiphenyl sulfone), and dapsone combination therapy (DDS CT) was just published by Dr. Richard Horowitz et al. and provides hope of effective treatment for patients with persistent Lyme disease.
The study is suggestive that dapsone combination therapy may well characterize both a novel and successful option to treat Borrelia burgdorferi persister cells in the form of biofilm. There are several hypotheses causing great controversy regarding the persistent symptoms that greater than 10-20% of patients are experiencing after infection with B. burgdorferi. The study evaluated the effectiveness of dapsone against B. burdorferi biofilm forms of the bacteria by testing in individual as well as in combination therapy with several drugs including cefuroxime, doxycycline, rifampin, and azithromycin in vitro.
The results were robust, showing that using dapsone alone or in various combinations with the above stated drugs significantly reduced the mass and protective glycosaminoglycan layer affecting the capability of the biofilm form of B. burdorferi. DDS CT efficacy on the B. burgdorferi biofilms was also determined by ascertaining the biofilm polysaccharide matrix content, glycosaminoglycans (GAG).
Study results showed the most efficient single use antibiotic at reducing biofilm was dapsone at both 10 µM and 50 µM concentrations, showing 69% and 58% residual viability respectively. Used individually, other antibiotic treatments (doxycycline, cefuroxime, and azithromycin) proved to be less efficient and, in some cases, even caused an increase biofilm mass. In contrast, triple and quadruple combination antibiotic therapies showed greater efficacy.
The most significant finding was that dapsone used individually or in combination therapy with rifampin, and a tetracycline and/or a macrolide and/or a cephalosporin showed great promise in the treatment of persistent Lyme patients, with prior clinical studies demonstrating improvement in many of the debilitating symptoms that patients suffer including fatigue, pain, neuropathy, sleep disturbances, cognitive dysfunction, sweats and flushing.
It is urgent that randomized trials are launched to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of DDS CT as the spread of Lyme disease continues to increase on a global scale.
This is great news. If you suffer from chronic symptoms you may want to discuss this with your doctor and consider it in your treatment arsenal. I have heard the side-effects from Dapsone are substantial so make sure you and your doctor read up on those and ways to mitigate them. I know Dr. Horowitz utilizes many supplements for this purpose when using Dapsone.
Sadly, those RCTs are far down the research pipeline. Unfortunately the ‘sexy’ topic of climate change trumps effective treatments that would make life bearable for patients.
(Natural News) Back in 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) hoodwinked the world with a so-called “swine flu” pandemic that resulted in the U.S. government needlessly stockpiling deadly vaccines along with $1.5 billion worth of Tamiflu, an influenza drug that just so happened to enrich the estates of Donald Rumsfeld and other key deep state actors. Now in 2020, we are watching the same thing happen all over again with the Wuhan coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic, a manufactured crisis that once again exposes global “public health” initiatives as nothing more than corporate-government fraud.
From the very start of this latest worldwide scare, the WHO has contended that there is nothing anyone can do about the Wuhan coronavirus (covid-19) other than to take Remdesivir, an antiviral drug manufactured by Gilead Pharmaceuticals, and simply wait for a future vaccine – in self-isolation with your mask on, of course. The WHO has further denigrated hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as dangerous and useless, citing a bogus study that was authored by a porn star and sci-fi writer under the direction of a questionable U.S. healthcare analytics company.
Also in on the ruse are other key deep state players such as the infamous Anthony Fauci, who 15 years after publicly stating that HCQ is effective against coronaviruses is suddenly now opposed to the drug’s use. As it turns out, Fauci has financial ties to new drugs that are being pushed through the pipeline as alleged remedies for the Wuhan coronavirus (covid-19), which explains his anomalous opposition to HCQ, which he once promoted.
Every doctor and medical professional who has bravely come forward in support of HCQ during the current pandemic, by the way, despite the deep state’s opposition to it, has faced ridicule and persecution. Dr. Didier Raoult of France says he has actually received death threats simply for announcing that HCQ combined with the antibiotic drug azithromycin successfully cured 80 of his own patients.
“By administering hydroxychloroquine combined with azithromycin, we were able to observe an improvement in all cases, except in one patient who arrived with an advanced form, who was over the age of 86,” Dr. Raoult is quoted as saying, noting that HCQ-plus-azithromycin had a 91 percent success rate with zero side effects when used in more than 1,000 patients.
Dr. Raoult published these and other findings in an online journal, only to be threatened with death for daring to spill the beans. And according to Great Game India, this death threat came from a top financial recipient of none other than Gilead Pharmaceuticals, which apparently wants to maintain a corner on the available oral drug options for the Wuhan coronavirus (covid-19).
“Professor Raoult testified that, shortly after he started to talk about HCQ as a treatment, in March, he received anonymous death threats,” reports indicate. “He filed a complaint with the police, and an enquiry was opened by the French judiciary.”
“The medical doctor behind the threats was found and happens to be from a Nantes university hospital. It happened to be the person who received the most money from Gilead over the past 6 years.”
Dr. Raoult’s full testimony before the French Parliament, which took place on June 24, is available for viewing at this link.
Gilead Science has “dark history” of “bioterrorism,” claims Great Game India
With the help of the WHO, which at the current time is colluding with both deep state government entities and corrupt pharmaceutical interests to keep the Wuhan coronavirus (covid-19) plandemic going, Gilead was able to strongarm the federal government back in 2009 into buying up stocks of Tamiflu, enriching the pocketbooks of not just Rumsfeld but also George Schultz, a former U.S. secretary of state. Rumsfeld chaired Gilead while Schultz sat on the company’s board.
“The interesting part is, Gilead was part of the vaccine lobby at whose behest the WHO faked the H1N1 pandemic in 2009, and kept it a secret from people until committees were setup (sic) which exposed the entire racket,” reports Great Game India.
As a background, Gilead appears to be a creation of the military-industrial complex with a dark history of bioterrorism, according to Great Game India.
Despite its benign image as a mere pharmaceutical manufacturer, Gilead has been accused of engaging in illegal bioweapons research programs in the country of Georgia, where 73 people are said to have died at the hands of Gilead researchers who were testing deadly chemicals on them.
Igor Giorgadze, a former minister for state security in Georgia, is on record as claiming that the illegal tests were conducted by The Richard Lugar Center for Public Health Research near the nation’s capital of Tbilisi. More than 100,000 pages of classified information shows that Gilead was involved in conducting military research, biological weapons research, and other clinical experiments there that resulted in the deaths of Georgian citizens.
Equally disturbing are Gilead’s ties to the Pentagon, as the company has been accused of bombing a competitor’s manufacturing facilitywith the deep state entity’s approval, all under the guise of “fighting Al-Qaeda.”
As for Remdesivir, which currently maintains “orphan drug” status, it remains to be seen where the drug ends up in the world and at what cost – or as Great Game India puts it, we will have to see “what countries does Gilead choose to donate to and beyond the donations, whether Gilead prices Remdesivir reasonably, particularly in developed countries.”
More stories about the Wuhan coronavirus (covid-19) plandemic and the corporate-government corruption that is keeping it going can be found at Pandemic.news.
Please keep this all in mind when you read science journals and/or listen to the news. These conflicts of interest run deep and are prolific, and don’t kid yourself – affect what tests & drugs are chosen and what drugs aren’t chosen to treat people.
Lyme/MSIDS patients often have to learn the hard way that tests and treatments are dictated by a ‘higher power’ that has a strangle-hold on most doctors. These ‘authorities’ entrusted with public health vilify any tests or treatments that they don’t have patents on and then bully doctors into submission by a constant threat of being persecuted by state medical boards for not obeying their directives. Just know that this same thing is playing out for other diseases – and right now in front of our eyes with COVID.
It’s unfathomable that even one human would choose profit over patients, but that in fact is what is happening at every level of medicine and research.
No one cares about your health more than you do. If you can’t get help in one place, go to another until you get help. Be persistent, be tenacious in finding that help. You are worth it.
