Volume 78, no. 8

The AAPS Educational Foundation has filed suit against the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), the American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology (ABOG), the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM), and Alejandro Mayorkas, in his official capacity as the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The lawsuit concerns defendants’ “unprecedented campaigns to censor speech that they falsely disparage as ‘misinformation’ or ‘disinformation’” (tinyurl.com/y3arw78t).

“Defendants wrongly misuse their authority in a politically partisan manner to chill speech….  Defendants have acted in an apparently coordinated manner, using similar timing and terminology, to censor those who exercise their First Amendment rights on issues of public concern,” the complaint states.

It notes that the Board Defendants have certification monopolies. “Although only official state medical boards have the proper authority to regulate the practice of medicine, certifications by the Board Defendants constitute a de facto essential credential for practicing in most hospitals or participating in most networks.” Threats to revoke certification improperly chill speech, and Defendants, unlike licensure boards, have no political accountability.

ABIM and ABFM have already sent letters to physicians threatening them with revocation of their earned board certifications based on their statements on issues of public concern. Board Defendants are apparently retaliating against physicians who were praised by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., in his bestselling book The Real Anthony Fauci, in some cases expressly because of criticizing Dr. Fauci, who as a government official may be freely criticized.

ABOG has publicly warned physicians against making public statements against abortion and contraception. ABOG stridently supports universal access to abortion, with taxpayer funding, and ABOG sharply criticized the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs.

ABOG also threatens physicians for warning pregnant women against receiving the COVID vaccine, even though the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a similar warning in 2021.

The Board Defendants’ threatening letters and the creation of the Orwellian Disinformation Governance Board (“DGB”) by DHS Secretary Mayorkas closely followed on the directive by President Joe Biden, which states: “I make a special appeal to social media companies and media outlets: Please deal with the misinformation and disinformation that’s on your shows.”

Attorneys general from 20 states, led by Virginia and joined by Texas,  released a letter to Defendant Mayorkas, dated May 5, 2022, which protested the unconstitutionality of the DGB.  The letter repeated what Justice Brandeis explained in 1927 in Whitney v. California that the remedy for error is “more speech, not enforced silence.”

“The mere existence of DGB has the effect of chilling speech by Plaintiff,” the complaint argues. Public remarks by Dr. Fauci appear “to call implicitly for censorship of speech based on content that one political party disfavors.”

The complaint notes that the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC), tasked to “most effectively and appropriately address disinformation that poses a threat to the homeland, while protecting free speech and other fundamental rights,” is subject to the requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), but is violating them with respect to the DGB.

Plaintiff asks that Defendant Boards be prohibited from retaliating against physicians for speaking out on matters of public concern and that Defendant Mayorkas be required to comply fully with FACA or to abolish DGB altogether.

Information on Harm

Threatened physicians are the ones who are countering the official disinformation narrative and telling the public about the harm of denying early treatment, of lockdowns, and of COVID-19 vaccine adverse effects.

Board threats are in themselves harmful. As dozens of physicians write in an open letter to the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) and the Federation of State Medical Boards  (FSMB), “actions against the leading medical doctors, that have pioneered the development and deployment of treatment protocols against COVID-19, and who are now making similar efforts towards the treatment of patients that have been injured by the COVID-19 vaccines, threatens the right to life and the well-being of the American public” (https://tinyurl.com/ynpvkcc8). 

Most of the “public health” narratives about COVID-19 have been false—i.e., misinformation, argues former Pfizer vice-president Dr. Michael Yeadon (https://tinyurl.com/mfjeu983).

Adverse events do follow COVID-19 injections: more than 1.3 million have been reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), including nearly 30,000 deaths, as of July 1 (tinyurl.com/2xtfe8wx), but certified physicians dare not mention them because that might promote “vaccine hesitancy.” For the newly described Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS), the proposed explanations include: sleeping position, drinking tea, eating eggs, cold weather, solar storms, climate change, and too much or too little exercise (tinyurl.com/yc6uyudh).

Upon hearing of ABIM’s threat to remove Dr. Peter McCullough’s certification, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) offered to have an open expert panel on the scientific issues. ABIM declined. “What constitutes ‘misinformation’ shall be exclusively determined by a board of doctors THEY appoint” (tinyurl.com/msunp6yj).

Prescience or Planning?

James Gruhl, Ph.D., summarizes the series of globalist-run pandemic simulations described in Robert F. Kennedy’s book The Real Doctor Fauci. The series started with Topoff 2000. Dark Winter 2001 added vaccines, the CDC, the U.S. Air Force, Big Pharma, and the CIA. Project Bioshield 2004 added the Departments of Homeland Security and Defense, the FDA, and ATF. Atlantic Storm added WHO. Global Mercury coordinated all Western nations and added the Department of State. SLC Simulation 2005 added the Rockefeller Foundation and massive Orwellian surveillance. MARS 2017 added the World Bank and  the Koch Institute and planned how to blame busy wet markets in Wuhan. SPARS 2017 was run by Bill Gates and planned strategies for squashing therapeutics and keeping up interest in the vaccine through social media death counts. CLADE X 2018 included a healthcare collapse, stock market crash, FDA/CIA/CDC, total military control, and a vaccine in which Gates and Fauci had already invested enormous resources. Crimson Contagion 2019 specifically avoided off-label therapeutic possibilities. Event 201 practiced removal/canceling of vaccine critics from all social media platforms and coordinated all parts of government, media, corporations, foundations, and academies. This is a partial list (https://tinyurl.com/49baxd9k).

All aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including a shortage of masks and number of deaths, were predicted.

Unnatural Origin? 

 A 2015 book, The Unnatural Origins of SARS and Man-Made Genetic Weapons of New Human Viruses, edited by Dezhong Xu and Feng Li, published by the Military Medical Science Press (Beijing), provides extensive historical and scientific background regarding the SARS-CoV-1 virus.

According to the translators’ 2021 foreword,  “This book serves as a framework and protocol to guide the PLA [People’s Liberation Army] to create SARS-CoV-2, or COVID-19, which is a ‘contemporary genetic bioweapon.’” They also state that another purpose is to “cover up its earlier publication in Nature back in 2013 revealing the true origin of SARS-CoV and…to shift the blame to other countries, like the United States.” 

The translators ask, but do not answer, whether the COVID vaccine is also a genetic weapon (ibid.).

GAO Reports Political Interference on COVID

A 37-page report by the U.S. General Accounting Office  warned that American federal agencies that have managed the pandemic public policy response (including vaccine and drug development) have no mechanism to stop political interference in scientific decision-making and no mechanisms for receiving whistleblower reports. These agencies include the CDC, the FDA, the NIH, and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR).  A GAO investigation, involving semi-structured interviews and a confidential hotline, found many instances of such interference.  Employees said they did not report because they feared retaliation, were unsure about how to report issues, or believed agency leaders were already aware (https://tinyurl.com/2d46emjn).

COVID: Crisis of the Administrative State

The administrative overreach, dishonesty, mismanagement, and ethical breaches throughout the crisis result from a perverted bureaucratic system of governance, which is completely insulated from functional oversight by elected officials, writes Dr. Robert Malone. “The arc of the history of the COVID crisis encompasses collusive planning between a wide range of corporate interests, globalists, and the administrative state (Event 201); subsequent efforts to cover up administrative state culpability in creating the crisis; followed by gross mismanagement of public health policies, decision making, and communication all acting in lockstep with the preceding planning sessions” [see above].

Within the agencies, he explains, “In a Machiavellian sense, these senior administrators function as The Prince, each federal health institute functions as a semi-autonomous city-state, and the administrators and their respective courtiers act accordingly.  To complete this analogy, congress functions [like] the Vatican during the 16th century, with each Prince vying for funding and power by currying favor with influential archbishops.”

Dr. Malone examines the legal underpinnings and the history of these developments. Since the 2001 anthrax spore incidents, “HHS has increasingly been horizontally integrated with the intelligence community as well as with the Department of Homeland Security to form a health security state with enormous ability to shape and enforce ‘consensus’ through widespread propaganda, censorship, ‘nudge’ technology and intentional manipulation of the ‘Mass Formation’ hypnosis.”

Dr. Malone warns of “inverted totalitarianism” and the fusion of mega-corporations with the administrative “deep state,” of which HHS is the leading branch (tinyurl.com/4wasm2u9).

Not just our profession, but the American system of government is at stake.

FDA Crusade against Ivermectin Illegal

The Food and Drug Administration’s relentless effort to cause doctors to shun ivermectin appeared to be a misinformation campaign instituted at the top of the agency. Dr. Ben Carson and attorney C. Boyden Gray write that this violated “both fundamental ethics and the law.” Congress was explicit in its intentions in the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that the FDA was not to “interfere in the practice of medicine, which includes prescribing drugs off-label.” The FDA also pressured umbrella boards and licensing organizations to, in turn, pressure their members on a state-by-state basis to avoid the drug.

The agency displayed “insatiable arrogance,” refusing “to be satisfied with its authority over market entry and labeling, and instead tried to commandeer the role of doctors in treating their patients as well” (https://tinyurl.com/4rj6tnjn).

FDA Empowers Pharmacists, Bans Doctors

“In 2021, we witnessed one of the most remarkable dynamics unfold in the history of American medicine,” writes Daniel Horowitz. “An order came down through the corporate pharmacy cartel to start illegally practicing medicine by denying prescriptions written by doctors to treat COVID patients…. It wasn’t just ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, but doctors had prescriptions for antibiotics, steroids, and nebulizer treatments denied because ‘there are no treatments for COVID’” (tinyurl.com/yrhysks5).

Then, in July 2022, the FDA approved any pharmacist to “prescribe” Pfizer’s Paxlovid on the spot without a prescription! 

AMA president, Jack Resneck, Jr., M.D., writes: “Paxlovid is an important treatment and critical tool in the fight against COVID-19.” But, “whenever possible, prescribing decisions should be made by a physician” (https://tinyurl.com/ymyh2dvj).

Horowitz notes that there are no long-term safety studies on Paxlovid, and it contains an AIDS drug, ritonavir, which has an FDA black-box warning for potential death when prescribed with several fairly common drugs that seniors might be taking. 

He concludes that “if a certain product becomes part of the ‘spirit of the age,’ all laws, prudence, science, and medical norms are thrown out the window in order to promote the new idol.” Pharmacists admitted to him that they gave shots to patients in age cohorts not yet authorized. However, if a product might challenge the idol of the age, then no law or social, scientific, or medical norm will stop them from banning the drug.

Doctors Sue Twitter over Censorship

Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Peter McCullough, and Dr. Bryan Tyson have filed a lawsuit against Twitter, alleging that the social media giant silenced them for posting truthful information about COVID-19. While admitting that as a private company Twitter is not bound by the First Amendment, it is bound to follow its own policies. Truthful tweets do not violate those policies (https://tinyurl.com/ywrch2sk). A letter from the doctors’ attorney states: “Twitter received express and implied threats from government officials to censor certain viewpoints and speakers, lest Twitter face the amendment or revocation of Section 230, or antitrust enforcement. This was a financial decision for Twitter” (https://tinyurl.com/2jhbzb82).

Tip of the Month: If you receive a letter from a specialty board threatening to discipline your board certification, which many who have publicly criticized the Covid vaccine have received, then compel the specialty board to follow its own procedures. It should provide you with all of the documentation that it has to show that any statements against the vaccine were false. So far specialty boards have failed to provide such documentation, even though their procedures require it. Contact AAPS for our templates of responses. Consider citing statements against Anthony Fauci by Sen. Rand Paul, M.D. All physicians have a First Amendment right to speak about matters of public policy, including criticizing government officials, and we are defending against this unfair retaliation by specialty boards.

Court Rules: Canadians Can’t Have Private Care

British Columbia’s highest court has dismissed Dr. Brian Day’s appeal of the decision that denied the right of Canadians to pay for private care when waits for public care became too long (AAPS News, August 2021). The B.C. Court of Appeal ruled that the long waiting times in the public system did violate the patient plaintiffs’ fundamental rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms: “The risk of death has increased for an unknown number of individuals suffering from life‑threatening conditions who wait beyond the benchmark for certain procedures and who, but for the impugned provisions, would otherwise have been able to access private care and mitigate the wait.” But the breach of their rights is justified to protect those who can’t afford private care, the justices found.

Dr. Day opened the Cambie Surgery Center in 1996, and the legal saga began in 2009. He is expected to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada (https://tinyurl.com/29h4e839).

COVID-19 Rulings

Punishment of USAF Members Blocked. U.S. District Court Judge Matthew McFarland issued  a temporary restraining order preventing the Biden administration from taking any action for at least 14 days against any Air Force member who submitted a verified request for religious exemption from the COVID-19 vaccine since September 2021. The ruling also grants “class status” to all the 12,000 airmen whose requests for religious exemption were denied or not yet acted upon. Only 104 applications have been approved (https://tinyurl.com/485dwkbt). 

New York Quarantine Rules Unconstitutional. Acting Justice of the Supreme Court of Cattaraugus County (N.Y.) Ronald D. Ploetz struck down the COVID-19 Isolation and Quarantine procedures, known as Rule 2.13, enacted by the Hochul administration with no debate or authorization from the legislature.  Persons could be involuntarily detained at home, or in residential or temporary housing, subject to what the public health authority determined to be “appropriate” conditions.

Judge Ploetz stated that the rule merely gives “lip service” to constitutional due process: “Involuntary detention is a severe deprivation of individual liberty…. [It] may have far-reaching consequences such as loss of income (or employment) and isolation from family.” He added that there was “no scientific data or expert testimony” to back up the rule (tinyurl.com/49uamhty).

The Hochul administration has appealed the ruling.

“Flipping” Healthcare. Like people who “flip” houses to make a big profit, some of private equity firms “flip” entities that control the practice of medicine for profit. According to NBC News, more than 40% of the country’s hospital emergency departments—the biggest net generator and a  huge profit center for most hospitals—are overseen by for-profit care staffing companies owned by private equity firms (tinyurl.com/4e9akwnd). These companies decide how many patients a doctor must see, can direct some of the testing protocols, and can determine what kind of “provider” will see a patient. To circumvent laws in 33 states that require medical care to be provided by entities owned by licensed practitioners, the firms simply pay a physician to put his name on ownership documents. If a physician dares to complain that patients are being harmed, he is summarily fired and told: “There is a responsibility as the corporate representative to support the corporation’s objectives.”

Canadian Doctors Are Sorry, but…. they do not know what to do as they will be cancelled and fired, and lose income and their careers. Many met with me and said they feared for their safety. They “had to go along.” Many doctors in Ontario use early treatment themselves or for their families and have fake vaccine cards—perhaps at least two on the College of Physicians and Surgeons Ontario board, who took medical doctors’ licenses away for using early treatment and giving medical exemptions.

Vaccine Skepticism Grows. Through the course of my career, I never questioned vaccines. I assumed they were safe and effective; it wasn’t my area of research. When I was asked to support a vaccine, like the 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine in adult medicine, I did so. But with what has happened with COVID, I have begun to question other vaccines. I found that the efficacy for that pneumococcal vaccine for protection against hospitalization and death is 9%! Standard acceptance criteria would be at least 50% vaccine efficacy, and it should last at least a year. Even the generally uncontroversial pneumococcal and influenza vaccine are nowhere close to being acceptable. I’m dropping them (https://tinyurl.com/4367tfrv).

Accessories by Silence. How many lives were lost because of bureaucratic medical and health system malfeasance? James Stansbury’s compelling analysis (tinyurl.com/4wz874fk) mirrors the points made by Dr. Peter McCullough. Not only the actively malignant CDC and NIH but also organized medicine and corporate medicine were complicit. Consider the remarkable benefits of early treatment in India. Despite poverty, an ethical medical profession serves patients better than an affluent but corrupt system that censors and harasses dissenters. At what point does the system’s conduct become criminal?

All Your Data. The Left’s latest strategy to bring Marxism into medicine is via Social Determinants of Health (SDOH). I learned from congressional staff that SDOH, which is advanced by the  American Recovery Act, is “popping up everywhere” in legislation. Every detail of your life (education, housing, food, transportation, etc.) is deemed part of SDOH and thus a target for government intervention and intrusion.

Harmful Use of Data. The CIA has a secret bulk data collection program, authorized under Executive Order 12333, without any of the oversight that comes with Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) data collection, write Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.). The COVID crisis has been used to usher in new surveillance measures, as well as new definitions as to what is a domestic terrorist (such as being critical of the public health response). And data—such as was collected when I obtained a security clearance—has leaked and could be used by state-sponsored media, hackers, and foreign governments for nefarious purposes (tinyurl.com/2p893h5x).

Access to Energy Saved—for Now. On Dec 31, 2021, the UN Security Council moved to vote on a climate-change resolution that would have significantly expanded the criteria for UN intervention in armed conflicts. It is claimed that 100 countries support it. Members who failed to take “drastic” measures recommended by “experts” to “green” their economies immediately would have been considered aggressors against global governance. Russia vetoed the measure. India and China abstained. These three countries, with one-fifth of the world’s land surface and almost half its population saved hydrocarbon fuels. I am not sure who or what is going to save a weakened America from its Marxist regime in control in Washington, D.C.

Volume 78, no. 7  July 2022

These days being called an “anti-vaxxer” is likely an indelible stain, which implies that one is anti-science and pro-disease. Anyone who voices a concern about any vaccine is likely to be tarred with this label. Almost everyone who writes about vaccine adverse effects prefaces the remarks with “I am not an anti-vaxxer. I’ve had all my vaccines, and so have my children, and my patients, and I firmly believe the creed that vaccines are the greatest medical advance in history, that they have saved millions of lives, and that without them we’d have vast epidemics of horrible diseases.”

This profession of faith may be as effective as proclaiming that “I am not a ***ist or ***phobe—I have friends who are black, ‘Latinx,’ gay, trans, or Jewish.” But change could happen.

COVID-19 vaccines have made a hole in the dike.

“The Gish Gallop of the panicked pro-vaxxers,” as described by one physician, has appeared (NY Times Mag 5/25/2022). (The Gish Gallop is a debate technique of overwhelming an opponent with an excessive number of weak arguments and half truths.)

“A wave of parents has been radicalized by Covid-era misinformation to reject ordinary childhood immunizations—with potentially lethal consequences.” Quoting Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, the article states that the anti-vaccine movement is “so strong, so well organized, so well funded, I doubt it will stop at Covid-19 vaccines…. I think it’s going to extend to childhood vaccinations.” A few parents are declining baby shots, and the number of fully vaccinated kindergartners has dropped from 95% to 94% over a year (https://tinyurl.com/mamkk3nf).

Pro-vaxxers blame “grifters” who manage to raise some money, conspiracy theorists, “right-wing” political leanings, and the strategy of emphasizing personal freedom. They ask “how much autonomy any individual should surrender for the greater good and how to apportion risk between individuals and society” (ibid.). There are apparently no inalienable rights.

Vaccines—Greatest Advance and Only Answer?

Sir William Osler wrote that the greatest medical advances were cinchona (source of quinine, of which hydroxychloroquine is a derivative), vaccination, and the principle of  asepsis (surely he would not under-rate sanitation). Very few vaccines (e.g., (smallpox, tetanus, and rabies) had been developed in Osler’s time.

Smallpox is the only disease that vaccination is claimed to have eradicated—and it took 100 years. The original attempt, variolation, was based on the idea of causing a mild case so that the patient would be resistant when encountering a larger inoculum. This was dangerous—if even one organism evaded the immune system, a full-blown case might result. Next, patients were inoculated with a related but less dangerous disease, cowpox, which was observed anecdotally to be protective. Now, live virus vaccines use an attenuated strain made by passage through tissue culture. Since the immune response is generally not strong enough, an adjuvant is added, usually an aluminum compound. Thimerosal, a mercury-containing organic compound once used as a vaccine preservative, has adjuvant as well as disinfecting properties. Adjuvants have a nonspecific stimulating effect on the immune system—which is not well studied and could provoke allergies or autoimmunity.

So what is in vaccines? Never mind “accidental contaminants” like trace amounts of industrial chemicals or peculiar micro-debris. Vaccines are prepared in living cells, which contain a huge number of viruses, including retroviruses. We learned about SV-40 in polio vaccine—after millions got it, but what about others? As to mRNA, exactly what does it code for? And what if they change the formulation? It is impossible to determine.

Even if the initial purpose is laudable and some vaccines achieve that purpose, vaccination is a potential cover for injecting who-knows-what into non-consenting people, directed by powerful institutions that are known to be corrupted, tyrannical, and arrogantly incompetent. The escalation from “individual choice of medical procedure” into mandatory violation of bodily autonomy is built into the mass vaccination concept. Potential sinister motives range from undeserved profits to population control.

For those reasons, vaccine skeptics who are free to act might consider saying, “Yes, I am openly anti-vax; how can anyone be pro-vax after COVID vaccine tyranny? It is too prone to abuse.”

Questions to ask: Do ethical physicians and scientists oppose human sacrifice? (And does that include imposing a risk on one person to protect another?) How about experiments without adequate control groups (such as the use of “placebos” that contain adjuvants)? Lack of rigorous after-market surveillance for long-term effects such as infertility, cancer, chronic disease, developmental disability, and birth defects? Shielding malefactors from liability? Suppressing alternate modalities? Calling dissent “misinformation” and “canceling” dissenters? Depriving people of liberty or property without due process of law?

Anti-vaxxers need to challenge pro-vaxxers to change my mind. Are the above effects acceptable? Have they not occurred or can they not result from mass vaccination?

One public commenter to the NYT article writes: “The COVID situation allowed regular people to realize that that the governments and mainstream news outlets have lied to them, repeatedly and relentlessly. The radical skepticism of the establishment was an inevitable consequence of these sorts of deceptions, and is fully warranted.”

What Vanquished Infectious Disease?

To credit vaccines or antibiotics for the precipitous decline in infectious disease mortality is even worse than assuming that correlation proves causality or falling into the Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc fallacy. Mortality was already in steep decline—in measles, diphtheria, and pertussis before vaccines (tinyurl.com/2s36y3vk), and in tuberculosis, typhoid, scarlet fever, and pneumonia before antibiotics. This was not because of the miracles of modern medicine, but thanks to first-generation public health measures including slum reforms, food and factory inspections, and most importantly, sanitary engineering to safely remove and treat human waste and provide clean water. We are indebted to plumbers, not doctors, for these wonderful results.

Aggressive vaccination programs have failed to eradicate measles. What works better? Toilets (tinyurl.com/5vs6aj98).

This seems counterintuitive for a respiratory disease, but the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), or “Clean India Campaign,” which had the lofty goal of eliminating open defecation, found that for every 1% increase in households in a district with toilets, there are 0.33 fewer measles cases per 1,000 children under age 5. In a few short years, it appears that getting toilets into homes has reduced the burden of measles more than jabbing 80% of Indian children with two doses of measles vaccine in the first two years of life.

Authors of a report in BMJ Open (tinyurl.com/mu2kr2ex) calculated that about 12% of the decline in measles cases is due to a drop in growth stunting caused by environmental enteropathy, which impairs immune function. Availability of toilets may also have enhanced the impact of vitamin A supplementation, which reduces the risk of death from measles by 87% for children under two years of age.

Eradicating measles does not necessarily confer a net health benefit. Getting childhood measles is associated with a lower risk  of dying of cancer at ages 15–60 years, acquiring lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia, developing Parkinson disease, or having allergic disease or asthma, among other possible benefits.

In terms of lives saved, vaccines cannot come close to the record of vector control. DDT is estimated to have saved 500 million lives from malaria alone (tinyurl.com/yckjmdhr).

The U.S. is conducting an uncontrolled experiment in bringing back open defecation in homeless camps, and hampering vector control through rigid environmental regulations.

Prenatal Tests: Chinese Gene Harvesting 

One of the most popular prenatal tests in the world, called NIFTY for Non-Invasive Fetal TrisomY, is the source of genetic and population data for BGI, a company that works in cooperation with the Chinese military. With the aid of artificial intelligence, data from millions of women could be used not only to diagnose genetic diseases but to try to “improve population quality.” Large data sets could expose genetic vulnerabilities to disease in a population, which an adversary could exploit in a targeted genetic attack. Some women prefer to use a different test when they learn about the secondary research done with their DNA—and their child’s (https://tinyurl.com/3j4yytcx).

Data Related to Viral Origin Suppressed

Questions about the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus are unanswered, but the National Institutes of Health restricted public access to genetic sequencing data from the Wuhan Institute of Virology at the lab’s request. The documents, obtained  by Empower Oversight Whistleblowers and Researchers (EO) through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, seem to suggest that the epidemic did not originate in the Huanan market and thus to reinforce claims of some experts that the virus likely escaped from the WIV. The EO report claims that NIH staff members were using off-the-record emails to influence media coverage. Dr. Anthony Fauci and NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins were prominently mentioned (tinyurl.com/3nhec3tu).

Immunofudging on Shots for Kids

In FDA advisory committee hearings on authorizing COVID shots for children under age 5, Pfizer and Moderna used the  “immunobridging” statistical trick to compensate for lack of actual health benefits, writes Toby Rogers, Ph.D. They compared antibody levels in 300 kids (10% of the trial subjects) in each age group against antibody levels in 300 adults ages 18–25 from a previous clinical trial. Antibody levels being similar, Moderna claims, “Therefore it will prevent disease in the future in kids!”

Additional ways of rigging the game included releasing risk benefit documents (190 pages, single-spaced) one to two days before the meeting. “Endless layers of complexity [were added] to hide how bad the data really is.” One “expert” after another acknowledged that there are no “correlates of protection” for these vaccines: “You cannot use antibodies (or B-cells, T-cells, or any other proxy) to predict whether someone is immune or not.”

Eric Rubin, a committee member and the editor of the NEJM stated it bluntly, “We know what kind of antibody response can be generated, we just don’t know if it works.” 

Since data were collected in mid-2021, the Omicron variant has replaced the earlier strains, and neither Moderna nor Pfizer shots are effective against the current variant. 

By fall of 2021, 26 high-quality studies from outside the U.S.  showed a two- to seven-fold increased risk of myocarditis from mRNA shots. FDA, CDC, and Kaiser-Permanente fixers massaged it down to 7% to 50% higher.

“The public health establishment has abandoned science, logic, reason, rationality, empathy, health, and medicine. The FDA is more than happy to sacrifice children in order to ingratiate themselves further with the cartel,” Rogers concludes (https://tinyurl.com/2jrvxc9t).

Medical Board Ordered to Void NPDB Entry

In a stunning 8-to-1 decision (tinyurl.com/5evhzna3), the Texas Supreme Court held that the Texas Medical Board must issue a Void Report to the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB), which it had refused to do although Robert Van Boven, M.D., D.D.S., had been exonerated on all accusations (AAPS News, September 2021).

Dr. Bowden stated: “I provided treatment when other doctors told my patients to stay home. I have kept over 3,900 patients out of the hospital, but it hasn’t been easy. Sadly, fighting the system has been a much bigger challenge than fighting the disease.”

The FDA’s efforts to prevent use of ivermectin “ignore both statutory limits on the FDA’s authority and the significant body of scientific evidence from peer-reviewed research, over 80 medical trials, and results from ivermectin’s use in medical settings worldwide, showing the safe and effective use of the drug in fighting COVID-19,” said Dr. Marik (https://tinyurl.com/4kdxvkvz).

Attempts by the FDA to influence or intervene in the patient-physician relationship amount to interference with the practice of medicine, and breach the critical boundary between federal and state authority, the Complaint argues. As Dr. Apter notes, FDA statements, even if FDA cannot legally enforce them, affect the practice of medicine, which is now highly driven by standards and guidelines (https://tinyurl.com/yd8rp6wf).

Nurse Sentenced for Medical Error

Nurse RaDonda Vaught of Tennessee was sentenced to three years’ probation after being convicted of criminally negligent homicide and impaired adult abuse. The charges stemmed from the death of a 75-year-old patient when the nurse inadvertently administered vercuronium instead of Versed, having overridden several alerts. (Nurses typically have to override alerts in the electronic medical record to get anything done.) No mens rea needed to be demonstrated. Vaught could have been sentenced to years in prison. The prospect of error in a dangerous, high-pressure environment being criminalized is causing many nurses to consider a career change (https://tinyurl.com/538ssbdu).

While Nurse Vaught reported her error immediately, though too late for the patient, Vanderbilt University Medical Center failed to notify the medical examiner or CMS as required. Serious system problems were found only when an anonymous tip prompted an unannounced federal inspection a year later (https://tinyurl.com/rdfdepur).

Vaccine Injury Claims

More than 10,000 Australians were planning to file claims for COVID-10 vaccine injuries under the government’s no-fault indemnity scheme last November (tinyurl.com/c3ys6jej), but so far only 861 have done so, and only one has been paid. The scheme covers only clinical conditions that are diagnosed by a treating doctor and are included in the product information document. Patients reported that “there was often resistance from doctors to link their symptoms to the vaccine” (tinyurl.com/53vn3aey).

In the UK, a single tax-free payment of €120,000 is said to be available to persons suffering from a vaccine injury (https://tinyurl.com/6zpwwc8t). As of Feb 27, 920 compensation applications linked with COVID-19 vaccination injury had already been filed, compared with a usual 100 per year, but no payments have been made yet. (https://tinyurl.com/5n8axxnk).

Missouri Protects Right to Prescribe

Despite the fact that it is perfectly lawful to prescribe FDA-approved drugs off-label, many patients have been unable to obtain hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin for COVID-19 because physicians and pharmacists are intimidated by threats to their licensure. The Missouri legislature passed, nearly unanimously, a law protecting the right to prescribe and dispense these drugs (https://tinyurl.com/4wfvt64e).

Tip of the Month: Hospital mergers result in a loss in price transparency. Decreased competition makes it more difficult for patients to find out what services will cost. Despite hospitals’ complaints about reduced business due to COVID-19, in an increasing percentage (now 16%) of mergers the acquired hospital had billion-dollar revenues. Fortunately, some independent hospitals are refusing to be acquired by a big hospital chain, so the number of mergers decreased despite their increased size. Patients and physicians are better off with more independent hospitals.

Hospital Monopolies Sued

Three giant hospital systems are being challenged for anti-competitive behavior: HCA Healthcare, Hartford Healthcare Corp., and Advocate Aurora Health. Fairmark Partners LLP is bringing the lawsuits, supported by funding from Arnold Ventures, a philanthropic organization founded by the ex-energy trader John Arnold and his wife Laura.

“I don’t think there’s really any enforcement failure that’s had a larger negative economic impact for consumers than the failure to enforce antitrust laws against hospitals,” said Fairmark’s Brennan Bilberry. “Supporting employers and workers suing hospitals for price gouging and anticompetitive contracting is one way to overcome the imbalance of power in the market,” said Erica Socker, vice president of health care for Arnold Ventures.

Since 2010, there have been 979 deals among hospitals, and by 2016, 90% of the nation’s metropolitan hospital markets were highly concentrated. Formerly locally owned community institutions are now part of vast networks.

Arnold has also announced that his philanthropy “will break the insulin oligopoly by bringing $30 insulin to market” (Wall St J 6/11/22, https://tinyurl.com/3bjjrhxp).

FDA: Ministry of Bias and Illogic. Yet another generic drug to treat early COVID is rejected by the FDA—fluvoxamine. One large randomized controlled trial in Brazil found that those who stuck to the treatment regimen were 66% less likely to be hospitalized and 91% less likely to die. Other drugs the FDA has approved for emergency use authorization (EUA) haven’t done as well. The author of a WSJ editorial writes that there is no evidence that regulators are trying to protect drugmaker profits by limiting access to repurposed generics, but her own op-ed reviews the evidence for this (https://tinyurl.com/wzneaae3).

Pfizer Trials Stopped Early. When I was an employee in the Trump HHS in August 2020, I wrote a letter to the FDA regarding my concerns that Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins were saying they would stop the COVID-19 vaccine trials early and not collect the safety data. I stated the need for at least 500 events to occur if a vaccine trial was to be stopped for benefit. I said that stopping at an event number of 150 or so was devastating and bogus and will be an over-estimation of vaccine effect, and that safety surveillance long term was critical. I sent  this paper to high-level people in government and was told that I had to find a way to withdraw it from circulation. I did not do so, and resigned under threat of being fired (tinyurl.com/ms2ypum8).

Loss of Trust. No one believes public health agencies any longer. That public health has acted for a century as if it were entitled by a “noble lie” to its methods for manipulating the public is now shown to be only a lie.  There is nothing noble about pandering to special interests over population health.

Evidence for benefit of early treatment need not be strong. What matters is strong evidence for safety. There is no evidence of harm from hydroxychloroquine used in COVID outpatients, and 65 years of prior safe use. Yet there is a summary relative risk of a five-fold mortality reduction with HCQ in a dozen or more studies of 40,000 subjects. If that isn’t a “striking effect,” then nothing is. But no evidence will be good enough for the scoffers.

A Tool for Intellectual Tyranny. In Plato’s Dialogues, Socrates explains how the “Noble Lie” is useful for achieving political harmony. It has been a constant feature of politics and is the foundation of the administrative state, a way to control the populace with the presumption that the elite knows what is best.

No Thinking Allowed. When the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines engage in war planning, they have a blue team that presents a proposal, and then a red team that tries to tear that proposal apart and search for any weaknesses. The U.S. Public Health Service is officially part of the military, but eschews military best practices and instead requires groupthink and censors unfavorable data. So, we get all of the worst aspects of military hierarchy, but none of the responsibility and commitment to excellence. Event 201 and pandemic preparedness exercises conducted by Johns Hopkins University, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, CIA, etc., did not include a red team to identify deficiencies in their carefully prepared scripts.

Volume 78, no. 6  June 2022

Even if the majority of our population still believes in it, Paul Ehrlich’s “population bomb” has not only fizzled but is imploding. If something does not change, we will have a situation unprecedented in world history, worse than even the Black Plague, Elon Musk pointed out in 2018. A video based on Our World in Data concerning number of children per woman from 1950 until 2020 shows fertility plummeting everywhere. Almost all the places that exceed replacement level are in Africa (https://twitter.com/TexasLindsay/status/1527722818053586950).

“Reproductive rights” championed by the AMA—and proposed as a fundamental human right by progressive politicians—mean almost exclusively the right not to reproduce. Sexual stimuli are pervasive, promoted even in kindergarten by vendors of “comprehensive sex education”—along with contraception, unlimited abortion, and forms of gratification that cannot produce a child (but can transmit infections that impair fertility).

Many young people do not want to have children, often because they have no hope for the future. Climate change, or pollution, or nuclear war will kill us all, they are told. Economic prospects are dismal. The “smart” future is life in the pod—no self-owned cars, no wide open spaces, every act or thought tracked.

And if there is no future, no frontier, and no opportunity to build or create something new, why work more than necessary to subsist and be entertained? And if there are no children? “Why do men work, says the poet Charles Peguy, if not for their children? The father throws himself away in hope,” writes Anthony Esolen (https://tinyurl.com/bdh2hwsp).

What if we do away with fatherhood, or “patriarchy,” as radical feminists demand? “Think of the hopelessness of the secular world, which has set its face in stubborn self-destruction against the figure of the father,” writes Esolen. “It is not just a gray life without fathers. It is a severely constricted life, bound to the present, not a culture but a mirthless floating along with the suggestions of mass phenomena.”

The global elite desires immortality, not through children, but rather through transhumanism (AAPS News, April 2021). World Economic Forum advisor Yuval Noah Harari claims that humans can gain “divine powers” (https://tinyurl.com/jvk85spv). Would a human cyborg be like the Head in C.S. Lewis’s 1945 novel, That Hideous Strength?

The Inverted Pyramid

An inverted population pyramid will collapse, as Musk pointed out. How will the shrinking number of workers support all the frail elderly? Medicare is already paying out more than it takes in, and digital dollars can’t answer call buttons or turn into bread.

 Was it “culling the herd” to send COVID-infected residents back to nursing homes? Age-related rationing in medical care is alive and well, writes AAPS past president Marilyn Singleton, M.D., J.D. (tinyurl.com/2pn9kv99).

U.S. life expectancy is at its lowest in 25 years, having fallen by 1.5 years in 2020 (https://tinyurl.com/2p9ywwn6), and continuing to fall in 2021. COVID is only part of the explanation and does not account for an alarming increase in death rates of working age people coinciding with COVID vaccine rollouts (AAPS News, March 2022). In a CNN interview, FDA chief Robert Califf, M.D., said that American lives are, on average, 5 years shorter than in other high-income countries, and that “misinformation” is the leading cause of death—regarding heart disease and other big killers as well as COVID. No one who is completely up to date on injections and gets the new antivirals should die of  COVID, he claims (tinyurl.com/2s44eeck).

Dr. Califf is former head of medical strategy at Google parent company Alphabet, and has worked closely with many pharmaceutical companies, including Merck and AstraZeneca.

Global elitists are more concerned about absolute numbers, not age distribution, and the total is about seven times more than our fragile planet can sustain, they say. Either we cut carbon emissions (achievable only by measures that will cut population) to prevent climate change, or climate change will cause mass death.

Dennis Meadows of the Club of Rome says he hopes we can achieve the needed depopulation (down to about 1 billion) by “civil (nonviolent) means”—he hopes by slow and “relatively equal” means. We can have 8 or 9 billion only with a strong dictatorship and much reduced consumption (tinyurl.com/pwtran8j).

Anti-COVID and anti-“climate change” policies are surely making the middle class more equal to government-dependent welfare recipients and less able to resist. A huge wealth transfer from small business to multinational corporations has occurred. The Woke professional managerial class in government agencies, academia, media, and corporations is doing fine—for now.

Will the “people rise up”? Yellow Vests were in the streets for 3 years, and Macron got re-elected. Canadian truckers and any who supported them are being financially ruined by Trudeau.

Successful revolts, such as the American Revolution, don’t come from the proles, but from elites with means, who fight on principle or because their own interests are threatened. The greatest threat to the global Left is men like Donald Trump or Elon Musk, who can afford the fight and are too rich to be bought, at least not with money. Where are our right-minded elites?

We may soon see massive depopulation from sickness, sudden death, infertility, and starvation. The result is the intention.

The ‘LGBTsQewing of America’

According to a February 2022 Gallup poll, about 20% of Generation Z (born 1997–2003) now identify as LGBTQ, as do 7% of Americans as a whole, double the rate in 2012. This is part of the solution to the “mystery” of the declining birth rate.

This shows that, “as history and science convincingly demonstrate,” sexuality is “highly malleable and amenable to social cues, norms, and proscriptions”—not biologically determined as advocates insist, writes attorney Alexander Zubatov. He states that what has occurred is a predictable result of the “undermining of all erstwhile sources of stability and meaning.” Self-centered individuals are on a “hedonic treadmill,” with society degenerating into a “spinning centrifuge unceremoniously hurling more and more of us outward toward irreconcilable opposite poles.” To save our young, we must “re-enchant our traditions…that the counterculture has done its utmost to uproot” (https://tinyurl.com/4wc7uwtc).

One commenter noted that we are witnessing deliberate social engineering—not with graphene or nano-chips, but with the skewing of education and culture. In a Christian culture, reproduction is naturally robust. The culture of “uneducated bigoted hillbillies” is being replaced by cosmopolitan modernism where people are self-absorbed and detached from reality. Population control has been surreptitiously achieved for “people of Pallor” who might be troublesome to the ruling Woke elite.

Elon Musk Gets Mad

Words from the 1976 movie Network sound eerily prescient. News anchor Howard Beale told his viewers: “I don’t have to tell you things are bad…. Everybody’s out of work, or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel’s worth, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter, punks are running wild in the street…. I don’t know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first, you’ve got to get mad!”

After making a buyout bid for Twitter, Elon Musk, reputedly the world’s richest man, got the right to examine the books. Unhappy Twitter employees started to out themselves as operatives of the Democratic Party. Musk learned that the Left’s  diversity sloganeering is a sham, and that what he thought was the kindness party is the party of division and hate. He suggested he might start voting Republican, and, as he predicted, the far Left’s hatestream against him commenced (tinyurl.com/yckkhzhm).

FDA’s ‘Future Framework’ for COVID Vaccines

No more clinical trials will ever be needed for COVID vaccines if FDA adopts the proposed framework, which is modeled on the procedure for influenza vaccines. Every year a new formulation is approved and deemed “safe and effective” because it is “biologically similar” to existing shots. Toby Rogers, Ph.D., calls this “the most reckless idea in the history of public health. It shows that the FDA has completely abandoned science and its…duty to protect the public” (tinyurl.com/29ekp5yv).

‘Mysterious’ Hepatitis

Spain’s Health Ministry sounded the alarm about 650 cases of acute hepatitis worldwide, with no epidemiologic connection (https://tinyurl.com/pdjnbx5u). In a letter to the editor of the Journal of Hepatology, Hersh Shroff et al. report a case series of 16 patients with post-COVID-vaccination liver injury. Authors write:  “We emphasize that our intent is not to promote vaccine hesitancy. The overwhelming benefits of these and other highly efficacious vaccines in the setting of a global pandemic greatly surpass any potential risk of liver injury that may exist (https://tinyurl.com/ycku3f9k). (Also see p 4.)

“Hepato-symptom laundering?” asks Jessica Rose, Ph.D. She notes that 60,442 liver-related adverse events had been reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) as of May 27 (https://tinyurl.com/ybayrs7y).

Vaccine Efficacy

The FDA vaccine efficacy threshold should be lowered to below 50%, proposes Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) (https://tinyurl.com/m2daxaer). Though the number is “fluid,” Pfizer and Moderna are claiming efficacy of 80% in children under 5 years old, ahead of a Jun 15 meeting. “Is the FDA seriously considering basing national policy, that impacts 18 million children, by relying on a study with only 10 cases?” asks Toby Rogers, who also notes that nearly all children have natural immunity by now (tinyurl.com/bp7268vm).

Vaccine efficacy falls rapidly with time (tinyurl.com/56rfnvuc), and some suggest that it reaches 0% or even negative efficacy (tinyurl.com/48nf99rs). The “well-run” Pfizer trial used to claim 90+% efficacy is riddled with flaws and alleged fraud, writes statistician Mathew Crawford: “the house of cards shakes” (https://tinyurl.com/5cua89f2). The vaccine may impair long-term immunity by reducing neutralizing anti-nucleocapsid antibodies (https://tinyurl.com/yckhm9dt).

In the real world, Portugal, which has virtually no one left to vaccinate, has had multiple waves of COVID; currently, about 30 people (the equivalent of 1,000 Americans) die every day. In Oklahoma, about half vaccinated, nearly 80% of COVID hospitalizations in mid-May were in partly or fully vaccinated patients. Some health departments have stopped breaking out COVID reports by vaccine status (tinyurl.com/27bmbjs4).

Special Districts, Special Privileges

The Florida legislature, in response to Disney World’s  criticism of the state law to protect schoolchildren from LGBT indoctrination, dissolved its unaccountable kingdom, the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which was created in 1967 so Disney could control its affairs without interference from voters.

In 1934, President Franklin Roosevelt urged the formation of special districts to skirt laws that limited local debt or required voter referendums to issue debt. There are now more than 38,000. After the tax revolt in the 1970s, they became a convenient way for government to escape new limitations on taxes. They have increased spending faster than other types of government because voters don’t know how to stop them; collectively, they spend more than $200 billion a year. In Nassau County, N.Y., 140 different special districts cost the average homeowner $1,000 a year in property taxes. Such districts do almost everything a city can do, but without most of the constraints. (Wall St J 4/25/33, https://tinyurl.com/2p9h3nax).

If the cancellation is fully implemented, Disney will be subject to county zoning and regulatory agencies, such as building codes and highway requirements.

Perhaps Reedy Creek won’t be the last to be brought to heel.

Administrative State Loses One

In Jarkasy v. SEC, “the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals just handed the administrative state its head on a platter,” states AAPS secretary Lawrence Huntoon, M.D., Ph.D. “No more can these administrative agencies try cases in their own administrative tribunal where they act as prosecutor, judge, and jury. The Court reapplied the ‘chains of the Constitution’ to bind them down.”

George Jaskasy, a hedge fund founder and investment adviser, was accused, convicted, and sentenced for securities fraud for allegedly inflating the value of assets. The Dodd-Frank Act allows the Securities and Exchange Commission to use its own tribunal. The Court ruled that this violates the right to a trial by jury and the separation of powers doctrine. The ruling applies only to the SEC but could encourage challenges to other independent agencies. If appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court it might threaten the 1935 Humphrey’s Executor  precedent that upheld limitations on the President’s ability to remove members of bipartisan independent agencies (WSJ 5/22/22, https://tinyurl.com/3webkbyu).

Tip of the Month: Some of the onerous COVID-19 vaccination requirements are quietly expiring, and it is worth checking your own state regulations. For example, Rhode Island imposed a mandatory COVID vaccination requirement on health care workers beginning Oct 21, 2021. But that requirement expired in March, and the left-leaning state replaced it with a masking requirement instead. This enables physicians and others in Rhode Island who declined to be vaccinated to begin working again, albeit while being told to wear an N95 mask when in contact with patients.

‘Disinformation’ Patrols

The Biden Administration’s controversial “Minitrue,” the Disinformation Governance Board (tinyurl.com/3v46e9pa), has been “paused,” but organizations such as the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) are there to hold doctors accountable.

ABIM president Richard Baron stated: “We’re not regulating speech. People can say whatever they want, but as the [ABIM], we have an interest in being sure that our credential means something and that people who hold it are differentiated from people who don’t hold it.” He is apparently threatening to decredential doctors for statements made in a legislative hearing or court proceeding, if ABIM somehow determines them to be clearly false, egregious, or “crossing the line” (https://tinyurl.com/ycktjjzt).

At the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki reassured the elites that BigTech will continue to control the narrative. The weaponization of information has been going on for at least 5 or 6 years. “I think we’ve come a long way,” she said. “If…you do a search…,when it comes to sensitive topics, you’re going to see them coming from more authoritative sources” (tinyurl.com/4saw69v8).

Disinformation Kills

The narrative is that vaccines are “safe and effective” but CO₂ is deadly. The Dept. of Health and Human Services has asked “healthcare stakeholders” to take the pledge to “At a minimum, reduce organizational emissions by 50% by 2030…and achieve net-zero by 2050, publicly accounting for progress on this goal every year” (https://tinyurl.com/2p9ytmjz).

The result of this narrative is that millions of people are likely to starve to death in the next year. “Inflation, particularly of fossil fuels, and the crop failures caused by lack of fertilizers (again, exacerbated by lack of fossil fuels), will mean mass starvation,” writes Kurt Schlichter. Regime adherents are not willing to do “what it will take to derail the death train roaring down the tracks.” He attributes this to their “pagan climate religion” and the power they get from denying others access to fuel. The result is “not happenstance but a plan”  (tinyurl.com/3vp8ecp3).

King Fauci?  The Doctor Who Would Be King, reviewed in the Wall St J (https://tinyurl.com/3dva8zwk), is likely the dream book of progressives/liberals/socialists. Dr. Jean Joseph David became known as “King David” in French Cameroon in 1939–1944. His task was to “reinvent a new society based on healthy foundations,” encapsulating the idea of a “civilizing mission,” a “fundamental principle” of European colonialism. France was treating an African tract as a laboratory where modern medicine could show “its capacity to transform society and cultivate life.” David’s methods were brutal. Dr. Fauci might envy his power.

The review notes that the French super-doctor ended his career in a suburb of Paris as a medical sales rep for a drug company. Once a king in a Conradian Heart of Darkness, “he petered out in the heart of drabness.”

70 Years of Brainwashing. We already live in an advanced cultural Marxist society even though half of the country is still lulled in the false sense that we are still a Constitutional Republic. The globalists have transformed young generations into pliable communist drones. People whisper to their friends that they do not like what is going on, but they are too afraid to speak out for fear of losing their jobs or licenses, or of public shaming and ridicule. Generations of children have been B.F. Skinner’s lumps of clay who have been shaped into citizens who hate their own country.

The Mainspring of Disinformation. During my short stay in D.C. I was told by high-level people at CDC, NIH, and FDA that their aim with each announcement was to “make the U.S. unmanageable and ungovernable under Trump.” They released bogus CDC reports on COVID deaths, suppressed reports of daily suicides in children, and misled Trump on the effects of lockdowns and of the fraud vaccine, which they knew had huge problems of safety and effectiveness. It was all about forcing every man, woman, and child on the globe to take the vaccine. Almost all the media worked in unison with the insiders, the politicians, and the deep-state bureaucracy. They hated Trump so much and did not care about the U.S. There is no negotiating with these people. Trump should have never ever played nice. They savaged him for it; he did not know they repay decency in D.C. with more hate and brutality. They win at all costs, and they will destroy the nation to get their way—look around you.

Nothing on COVID by CDC, NIH, Health Canada, Public Health Agency of Canada, the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE)—nothing was based on data or science. So-called experts were corrupted, inept, illogical, irrational, sloppy, and reckless. We need a proper public legal inquiry, and if we find that any did wrong and that their decisions cost lives, they must be held accountable. I want an acute focus on vaccines in children. I think people know that children will die, but they do not care. Their careers, grants, and fame are more important.

Every one of the injuries that have become an epidemic is listed as a side effect on the manufacturer’s inserts of the 72 vaccine doses that are now mandated for our children.

Autoimmune Hepatitis. Yet another scientific article points to the danger of current COVID vaccines given to children, and  is another reason I believe mandates for these vaccines for children should be criminal. Just a few weeks after the rollout of this vaccine for children, WHO issued a global alert about higher than usual rates of hepatitis in previously healthy children, after ruling out the common viral causes. Many cases were so severe the patients required a liver transplant or died. The Journal of Hepatology (tinyurl.com/2p98twab) reported a case showing that “COVID-19 vaccination can elicit a distinct T cell-dominant immune-mediated hepatitis.” The American Academy of Pediatrics, CDC, FDA, et al. are going to create ever-increasing mistrust (justifiably), the longer they ignore a rising mountain of evidence.

We know that both soldiers and civilians are tragically dying in Ukraine. War propaganda being what it is, we don’t know the accurate casualty count, but we know the general mechanism of death (explosion, gunshot wound, etc.), and how it might be stopped (make peace). But while people watch the exciting war footage on television, young, healthy people outside the war zone are silently dropping dead, one by one. Why? What to do?

We do not know the number of persons who died from as opposed to with COVID-19. We also don’t know the death count from “friendly fire.” How many died because their social contacts were disrupted or their businesses destroyed? Was any real person’s life actually saved because you couldn’t get a haircut or doctor’s appointment, or is the trade-off in lives purely a guess by self-interested authorities imposing the lockdowns? How many died or will die because of COVID vaccine effects?

There’s a war on, so expect war propaganda. In war, it is unpatriotic or even treasonous to criticize the leaders.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), states Dr. Peter McCullough, is sitting on reports of 24,000 deaths shortly after a COVID injection (tinyurl.com/ms5trsyp). Would deaths of these people be justified, in case mass vaccination might save some other people who might catch the disease from an unvaccinated person? Are they simply the collateral damage of war?

The “winter of severe illness and death” that Biden predicted in December for the unvaccinated did not happen. Raw data from Public Health Scotland show that over the 4-week period ending on Feb 4, deaths per million population in the twice-vaccinated were three times as high as in the unvaccinated, and in the once-boosted were twice as high as in the unvaccinated. After this, PHS stopped releasing such data (https://tinyurl.com/38jeu3m9).

Most of the post-injection deaths have occurred in the first week. However, a second wave of deaths peaking around 180 days in seven states (KY, TN, GA, MI, MN, TX, and FL) is pointed out by researcher Craig Paardekooper. These states have a many-fold higher death rate. In the early peak, cardiac arrest is the most frequent cause of death; in the later, “COVID-19” or possibly misdiagnosed similar illness. Late deaths suggest that a toxin is persisting longer, say by evading the natural immune system, or  is being replaced. Paardekooper states that Pfizer was developing three different types of vaccine, using non-modified RNA, nucleoside-modified RNA that contains pseudouridine (p 2), or self-amplifying RNA (tinyurl.com/3dr2mrrs).

Different vaccine lots also differ greatly in the integrity of the active ingredient, mRNA. In some, only 55% is intact, far below the generally accepted manufacturing standard yet intentionally accepted by regulators, states Sasha Latypova (ibid.).

The extreme variability in adverse event reports between batches, with 1 in 200 lots having more than 1,000 reports in VAERS, suggests that vaccine manufacturers are doing toxic dose range testing without consent, writes James Hill, M.D., J.D.

“Paardekooper’s VAERS analysis should be replicated or refuted by others, including government investigators, as soon as possible” (tinyurl.com/2p94evrm).

In a Pfizer contract with the EU, the section on labeling redacts the phrase “shall not be serialized” from the public version. Making vials untraceable would enable mixing increasing numbers from “hot lots” into safe lots. Then an increasing incidence of heart attacks or strokes could not be attributed to supposedly unchanging vaccines (tinyurl.com/tmwtescj).

The knowing distribution of adulterated or mislabeled products signals intent. Establishing fraud would remove the manufacturers’ liability shield; thus, investigation must be suppressed.

Purging Dissent

U.S. military servicemembers who decline the COVID vaccine or apply for a religious exemption are being terminated regardless of their skill level or natural immune status. Yet commanders are issuing illegal orders in violation of  Army regulations issued in the Sept 14, 2021, Fragmentary Order (FRAGO) number 5, which states: “Commanders will ensure sufficient doses of Department of Defense approved vaccines are on hand and available for their unit.” The Secretary of Defense himself told every servicemember in his Aug 24, 2021, memo that the only vaccines for use will “receive full licensure from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in accordance with FDA-approved labeling and guidance.” To date, however, there are no FDA-approved fully licensed vaccines available on any U.S. military installation (https://tinyurl.com/yc5ycvs9). So, the order is ignored.

It is estimated that in these times of escalating world tensions, the U.S. Air Force is already short 2,000 pilots (https://tinyurl.com/mv6wdcax). We do not know how many are or will be disabled by mandated injections. We do know that Russian and Chinese soldiers are not given mRNA vaccines.

Dissenting physicians are being purged (“disciplined”) for mentioning possible adverse effects—as presented by America’s Frontline Doctors’ “Doc Tracy” (tinyurl.com/2p8sjy4r).

Biowarfare?

While there’s talk of biowarfare labs in Ukraine, half the world population may harbor a biologic time bomb. “It’s beyond any shadow of a doubt that the vaccines are causing a large number of deaths,” states Dr. McCullough  (tinyurl.com/2p92v2be).

History Lesson: Cause or Effect?

Angela Merkel may have decided that Russia could never be reconciled with the West based on Putin’s “tirade against the decadence of democracies, whose decay of values, he said, was exemplified by the spread of ‘gay culture’” (tinyurl.com/54e2auz2).

Why is the LGBTQ agenda a litmus test for the Woke West?

Gay culture was a feature in the fall of Greece, the fall of Rome, the French Revolution with Jacobins, and the Weimar Republic. Friedrich Nietzsche, who was an outstanding historian specializing in the history of the culture of ancient Rome and Greece, observed in Twilight of the Idols:

“Church and morality say: ‘A people or a society are destroyed by vice and luxury.’ My revalued reason says: when a people degenerates…, then the result is vice and luxury (that is, the craving for ever stronger and more frequent stimulation necessary to arouse an exhausted nature)…. The newspaper reader says: this party destroys itself by making such a mistake. My higher politics says: a party that makes such a mistake has already reached its end (it is finished)” [trans. by H.B.].

Not Really mRNA

Pfizer, Moderna, and BioNTech claim that the messenger RNA in their products is quickly degraded. However, writes Dr. Robert Malone, it is known to persist for at least 60 days in lymph nodes. In fact, the vaccine mRNA differs from natural mRNA in having pseudouridine randomly incorporated during the manufacturing process. Unlike uridine, pseudouridine can pair with all other bases, not just adenine. This could account for interference with the innate immune response and the reactivation of latent DNA viruses. Failure of regulators to investigate these effects before authorizing widespread use is “appropriately classified as ‘willful ignorance’” (https://tinyurl.com/ycktp47f).

  “I get asked all the time ‘what can I do to eliminate the RNA vaccines from my body,’ to which I have to answer—nothing,” writes Dr. Malone (ibid.).

Do Flu Shots Work?

As Alex Berenson pointed out, the number of flu shots increased from 12 million in 1980 to almost 200 million in 2020, but influenza deaths did not decrease (tinyurl.com/2p84av2w). Difficulties in interpretation include population increase and the definition of an influenza death. Using additional data from Berenson (https://tinyurl.com/46ay923m): In the 1980-1981 flu season, 12 million of the U.S. population of 227 million (5%) got flu shots, and about 20,000 people died from flu (80 per million). In the 2017-2018 flu season, 155 million of 327 million people (47%) got flu shots, and 52,000 died from flu (about 160 per million). This obviously doesn’t prove that flu shots kill people with flu, but it certainly does not show them to be helpful.

“The symbols Russia values most are the Icon and the Axe: Faith and Power…. Her revolution was the search for a new absolute….  In 1917…  the Bolsheviks thought they were at the gates of heaven, but we know now they were at the gates of hell. Evil is never more terrible than when it wears the mask of goodness. Ideology without pity always leads to crime.”

Tricking the Children

Children are often resistant to taking the COVID jabs. More than 70% of COVID shots are received at pharmacies, as fewer people visit doctors, states are permitting pharmacists to administer more shots, and pharmacists have found ways to avoid having screaming children in their aisles. One clinic directed children with colored armbands, identified by their parents as potential screamers, to the “VIP lounge” so they don’t frighten others. The clinic featured live music, jugglers, and vaccinators wearing superhero capes. The post-shot waiting room had a librarian reading stories, a magician, the chance to write a thank-you note to vaccine developers, and a life-size cutout of high priest Anthony Fauci (WSJ 11/23/21, tinyurl.com/3n8maebv).

Mandate Voted Down in Germany

With 76.6% of the country having received at least one jab, more than 200,00 daily new cases of COVID are still reported. The Bundestag rejected a proposal to mandate vaccination for everyone over age 60 by a 378–296 vote. Chancellor Olaf Scholz was disappointed, saying the government will try to persuade more people to get jabbed (https://tinyurl.com/43d299h9).

More Revelations from Pfizer Documents

After getting the EUA (Emergency Use Authorization), Pfizer hired 600 people within 3 months to process adverse event reports and expected to need 1,800 more (tinyurl.com/24cudrbv).

No genotoxicity or carcinogenicity studies were done on RNA LNP-based products (tinyurl.com/yc32mcmy).

The rate of myocarditis was recognized to be as high as 1 in 1,000 in an informed-consent document. A previous study on a smallpox vaccine “suggested an incidence of possible subclinical myocarditis (based on cardiac troponin T elevations) 60-times higher than the incidence rate of overt clinical myocarditis” (https://tinyurl.com/2ayr3pcf).

Pfizer obscured the effects of natural immunity (0 severe cases in either trial or placebo groups with previous infection) by combining patients with and without previous infection in their efficacy analysis (ibid.).

The second document dump reveals that Pfizer deliberately did not tell people that in the initial days post shot they were susceptible to infection—not just from COVID—and should not be out and about. Moreover, in calculating efficacy Pfizer attributed infections during the first 14 days to the unvaccinated. Pfizer and government officials knew that failure to account for the period of negative efficacy is fraud (tinyurl.com/yckhx4xf).

It Might Take Just One

From my collection of videos, this one showing a lion attacked by a clan of hyenas (https://tinyurl.com/39r9yj37) is emblematic of sham peer review attacks occurring in hospitals, writes Lawrence Huntoon, M.D., Ph.D. The attackers pounce on the victim from all angles. But, as the attackers bite him repeatedly and tear at his flesh, another of his kind (representing ethical physicians) enters the scene, and the odds change. The video illustrates that sometimes all it takes to save the victim being attacked by sham peer review is a single person to come to his aid. 

Tip of the Month: Increasingly, federal convictions are based on allegations of false statements to federal agents, rather than underlying conduct. Rep. Jeff Fortenberry of Nebraska was a charismatic, popular congressman being investigated for a relatively small $30,000 in campaign contributions, supposedly made illegally by a foreigner. FBI agents from California visited his home as he returned from working to clean up after a big storm. The agents questioned him then and again in a follow-up interview when his attorney was present. Similar contributions by the same foreigner had been made to Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign and to other politicians. But only Fortenberry was indicted, and then convicted on Mar 24, based on charges that he allegedly made false statements to the federal agents. And his trial was not in Nebraska but in Los Angeles based on the investigation originating there, even though Fortenberry’s attorney repeatedly objected to that venue. Speaking to a federal agent is not required, and restarts the statute of limitations, so why take the risk of being accused of misstating something? If approached by an agent, you might say: “Submit your questions to me in writing so I can have an attorney review them.” Strongly consider not answering questions orally, and maybe not in writing either.

AAPS Files Amicus in United Airlines Case

United Airlines has required that its employees receive a COVID vaccine or be placed on unpaid leave. It also demoted to unpaid leave employees who obtained a religious exemption. Employees sued in Sambrano v. United Airlines. United lost its appeal, and on March 10 filed an unusual motion to vacate the panel opinion against it, or, in the alternative, rehear it en banc. On the same day, United abruptly announced that it will allow the employees who have religious exemptions to return to work, saying that moots this lawsuit.

In its amicus brief supporting UA employees, AAPS writes: “The panel opinion is a landmark ruling against abuse of power under the pretext of public health, and this splendid opinion should be fully published rather than vacated.”

AAPS counsel Andrew Schlafly calls this one of the “watershed opinions” that “reject exploitation of a crisis to infringe on basic rights.” Instead of being withdrawn, it “should become a foundational precedent against similar future violations of individual rights, particularly the unwanted injection of biological agents that have irreversible life-changing effects.”

“By abruptly reversing its position in this case, United has done the equivalent of a U-turn on the runway and this Court should have a healthy skepticism about its explanation from its cockpit,” states Andrew Schlafly. “Are we taking off or landing?” he asks about United’s odd effort to erase an appellate panel’s opinion while also seeking to get it reconsidered by the full court.

The brief notes that United is heavily dependent on Congress for massive subsidies to the airline industry that totaled $54 billion for COVID prior to this year, and thus United is hardly a mere independently acting “private firm” as it claims.

AAPS writes (https://tinyurl.com/5n8nssvc) that:

Vaccine mandates are an alarming gateway to promote public allowance of abortion (through use of fetal cells in mandated vaccines), infringe on parental rights (the D.C. law at issue in Booth v. Bowser…), violate the patient-physician relationship (by overriding physicians who advise against the vaccine), erode private medicine (by revoking medical licenses of physicians who speak publicly against a mandated vaccine), control the right to assemble (through vaccine passports), and limit the ability to earn a living (as shown in this case). In essence, United booked a ticket on this flight to tyranny, whether intentionally or not. Fortunately, United’s flight landed before its ill-fated destination. Time to deboard….

D.C. Vaccine Mandate Enjoined

 Minors aged 11 and up in Washington, D.C, are temporarily no longer eligible to receive vaccines without parental knowledge or consent after a federal court for the District of Columbia granted a preliminary injunction against the Minor Consent for Vaccination Act (MCA) in Booth v. Bowser, a case brought by Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) (tinyurl.com/ycksus9r).

In an amicus brief, AAPS writes: “The requirement of informed consent is as fundamental to medical ethics as it is to law. A medical procedure without informed consent constitutes battery, and minors are generally incapable of making legal decisions or providing informed consent (tinyurl.com/32mrh59b).

If this Act stands, AAPS argues, “there is no stopping point against future infringements with other medical injections or treatments. The Act is conceptually similar to the notorious mandatory sterilization of a woman a century ago, pursuant to Virginia law, because she was perceived not to be smart enough.”

The AMA’s amicus brief supports mandating the vaccine if authorities were to speculate that its overall good was greater than its overall harm, despite severe individual harm. It fails even to address the possibility of COVID-19 vaccine “harm” to anyone.

A Fraud to Cancel Global Debt?

When COVID hit, Wall Street executive Edward Dowd had been worrying about global debt. “If there’s a sovereign debt bubble, the people who created it were not going to take the blame. So,…would they start a war or something like that? They had to cause some distraction.” COVID could be used as a “system of control to prevent riots when the current bubble pops.” He writes: “If I can show that Pfizer committed fraud, the house of cards has a better chance of coming down.” He observes that Pfizer had failed the all-cause mortality endpoint in clinical trials: 21 in deaths in drug group vs. 17 in placebo. No drug with more deaths than placebo can be approved. Also, a whistleblower showed that 1,000 participants had been unblinded—enough to destroy Pfizer’s claim of 95% efficacy (tinyurl.com/y9e3jruv).

Correspondence

Maybe We Should Consider Risks. After 1,626 cases of myocarditis had been reported, with average onset within two days of receiving a COVID mRNA shot, Matthew Oster of CDC et al. concluded that “this risk should be considered in the context of the benefits of COVID-19 vaccination” (JAMA 1/25/22). The highest rate was in adolescent males following the second shot. Many more cases have surely occurred since August 2021.

Biological Warfare. Those who wanted to wage a biological attack on a population or world should create a vaccine just like the COVID vaccine, one that drives sub-optimal, non-sterilizing, non-neutralizing immunity, and implement roll-out during a raging pandemic. If the aim is to slowly harm the population and kill, not massively at first, but increasingly over time, the COVID vaccine strategy would be quite appropriate.

Is the $6.5 billion dollar funding not enough? “The selective omission of public health information is more than clinical malpractice; it is scientific fraud.” Gortler says that the professional licenses of agency employees should be at risk (https://tinyurl.com/2czwwm68).

Metamorphosis. In the 1950s, when I entered practice, physicians were independent and paid by their patients. Many facilities as well as physicians provided free care to those unable to pay. During the 1960s, employers’ and government’s “free insurance” programs turned a patient-driven enterprise into an investor-owned and profit-driven business system. As always, bearers of gifts became the masters of those receiving them. Free facilities closed. Medical societies developed a self-serving agenda focused on third-party reimbursement. The physician leadership vacuum was filed by government and the insurance industry. Employed physicians are becoming the sacrificial lambs, and their patients’ services will be rationed.

Scary Thought. Could the Feds take over a state legislature and governorship? It has happened before. When it became clear  that Missouri was going to secede in 1861, as a “slave state,” the Feds came in and chased out the legitimate state government, who had to go into hiding, while the Federals put in a puppet government. I did not learn this in public school; I was taught that Missouri was “neutral.” Far from that! This is the state where brother literally fought with brother, neighbor with neighbor, and with the border war with Kansas still fresh, Missourians fought with Kansas jayhawkers, and grew guerilla fighters from whence came Frank and Jesse James. It can and may well happen again.

Volume 78, no. 3  March 2022

President Biden proclaimed his first State of the Union message to be about setting a “unity agenda” for the nation. The nation is indeed sharply divided—between those standing for freedom and those accepting totalitarian measures on the pretext of fighting a virus. Biden did not acknowledge this state of war on Americans and their guaranteed Constitutional liberties. Instead, he led with the war in Ukraine (https://tinyurl.com/2p8u6x37).

Have our congressional representatives ever before waved  foreign flags at a presidential address? Sen. Chuck Schumer wore a blue jacket with a yellow tie; one woman displayed a Ukrainian blue and yellow scarf. “We stand with Ukraine” is the bipartisan message—without stating just how far that goes, if say a Russian steps one inch over the border of an Article 5 NATO country. Biden promises to defend every square inch of NATO with “the full force of our collective power.” He listed American ground forces, air squadrons, and ship deployments. He did not mention nuclear weapons—but Putin did.

Anyone who dares to disturb unity by raising a question about the Ukrainian narrative is likely to be accused of being pro-Putin—just as those who question the COVID-19 narrative are for disease and death—and is likely to be canceled.

Notably, those who have Ukrainian flags on their Twitter profiles and seem willing to risk war for nationalism, borders, gun rights, civil liberties, and free speech for Ukraine have no problem with sacrificing these things for Americans.

Vladimir Putin has always been an oligarch and ruthless dictator, like so many world leaders. This didn’t seem to bother most Americans during the Obama “reset.” Russophobia was ginned up by Democrats’ and media allegations that Trump colluded with the Russians to defeat Hillary  Clinton.

Putin is also a Russian nationalist who opposes Wokeism and its anti-Western civilization, pro-LGBTQ++ ideology.

Americans did not care about Ukraine when Stalin was starving kulaks and seizing their land. Most gave no thought to any of the Captive Nations before the Soviet empire fell, and probably even less to former Warsaw Pact members afterward. Why now?

Is it moral sensibility about a bigger country invading a smaller country, as Kamala Harris explained (tinyurl.com/bdsrr9jd)?

There was no similar, apparently coordinated world outcry over Hong Kong, Yugoslavia, Iraq, or Georgia, and one is unlikely over Taiwan, if China invades that island.

Non-military Coercion

The Biden Administration is relying on economic sanctions. The threat did not deter an invasion, but will increasingly severe pressure cause Russia to surrender? As Biden said, “We are cutting off Russia’s largest banks from the international financial system, preventing Russia’s central bank from defending the Russian ruble.” He boasted that the ruble has already lost 30% percent of its value, and the Russian stock market, 40%.

This economic warfare may inconvenience the oligarchs but will seriously harm the Russian people. If Russia is excluded from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) (https://tinyurl.com/4brv8s4r), retaliation will possibly end the reign of the petrodollar (p 2).

Other Crises

Ukraine has displaced the 24-hour scare coverage of COVID-19, as well as the Pfizer documents revealing the adverse effects of its vaccine. Dr. Anthony Fauci seems to have vanished from the limelight, likely because of polling data showing that Americans are fed up (https://tinyurl.com/bddwm34w). Some mandates are being rolled back, but Biden is not lifting the declaration of emergency or the CMS vaccine mandate. Biden takes credit for an alleged economic recovery, but no responsibility for the destruction, saying that few pieces of legislation had “done more at a critical moment in our history to lift us out of crisis” than his American Rescue Plan. It provided economic relief and “fueled our efforts to vaccinate the nation and combat Covid-19.”

If Congress will just pass his bills, he pleaded, we can revitalize American manufacturing and fight inflation by “lowering costs.” He said we can “cut energy costs for families an average of $500 a year by combating climate change”—another existential crisis, in the name of which, according to Sen. Ted Cruz, Biden  imposes harsher restrictions on American than on Russian oil.

What Are the Two Sides?

“In the battle between democracy and autocracies, democracies are rising to the moment, and the world is clearly choosing the side of peace and security,” Biden said. Or is it the side of a global totalitarian technocracy that rules by fear?

What is Ukraine? A free, independent, prosperous democracy? Or a World Economic Forum/NATO puppet after a NATO-engineered putsch with regime change in 2014 (tinyurl.com/yckpzkr8), and a money-laundering center for corrupt billionaires? Ukrainians have been fleeing since 2014 (tinyurl.com/3xr43snr), becoming low-wage servants to less-impoverished people as in Poland. Heroic Ukrainians are fighting for their homes, but what is the agenda of those who are promoting war?

The real war is against Western civilization, sovereign nations, and self-government that protects individual rights. Watch what the magician’s other hand is doing behind a blue and yellow flag.

Financial Warfare

The Russian convoy slowly approaching Kyiv is getting more mainstream media attention than the truck convoy to Washington, D.C., or the one that converged on Ottawa. The latter is also, although entirely peaceful, deemed a threat to the regime, triggering the Canadian Emergencies Act (formerly the War Measures Act). This forbids participation in, travel to, or hosting on private property assemblies deemed “unlawful.” It also orders financial institutions to cease dealing with anyone involved in funding these protests (https://tinyurl.com/2p8h3764).

While the government is unable to account for $600 billion in public spending, Canada’s deputy prime minister and finance minister Chrystia Freeland can find out who donated $20 to truckers and may freeze their bank accounts. Trudeau’s government has shut down 39 trucking companies in Ontario for participating on the convoy. The names of the companies and proceedings are secret (https://tinyurl.com/2s35vzn3).

Total financial war on Russia has followed Western examples.

Conservative pundit Michelle Malkin was banned from Airbnb for speaking at an American Renaissance conference (tinyurl.com/bdh9z9fe). Less than a month later, all Russians were booted. For years, social media has banned conservative voices; now the whole of Russia is banned. Why can’t Fox News be canceled too? Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal are suspending operations in Russia—are Red States next?

What are the consequences—intended  and unintended—of economic warfare? Is it a great thing to destroy Russia’s economy and impoverish her people? Overnight, Russia’s $630 billion in currency “reserves” were declared worthless. If the dollar is revocable, whether it “belongs” to someone who honked a horn in Ottawa, “enabled” an illegal protest, or is defined as an “oligarch”—or to a bank in a sanctioned country, who will hold American currency (tinyurl.com/mupxk85w)?

The dollar is hardly fighting from a position of strength. Its share of trade settlements between Russia and China slipped from 90% in 2015 to 46% in 2020 (tinyurl.com/2p85ss66). Visa and Mastercard might be replaced with Russia’s Mir system and China’s UnionPay (https://tinyurl.com/2p8fsv4n).

The barrage of sanctions amounts to the “weaponization” of dollar-based money, as described by former Société Générale strategist Dylan Grice: “You only get to play the card once,” he tweeted. “China will make it a priority to need no USD before going for Taiwan. It’s a turning point in monetary history” (https://tinyurl.com/mr3stny9).

As the ruble crashes, what happens to creditors who are paid in rubles (https://tinyurl.com/4fswvkzn), and to American public pension plans, which may be heavily invested in Russia (https://tinyurl.com/3hc4y4xk)?

The collapse of the world banking system’s house of cards might usher in a global digital currency. If people have one digitized account as envisioned by the World Economic Forum, tied to their record of vaccination, travel, and ESG   (environmental, social, and governmental) score, their spending could be minutely controlled, and they could even be depersoned. They will own nothing—and will they be happy?

“A person may cause evil to others not only by his action but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury.”

Not in the News

As of Mar 1, Pfizer has released 150 documents comprising 50,000 pages pertaining to its COVID-19 vaccine—which it had tried to keep secret for 75 years. They are posted at https://phmpt.org/pfizers-documents/. Document 5.3.6, Cumulative Analysis of Post-authorization Adverse Event Reports (https://tinyurl.com/y6z4rvzp), states that there were 42,086 case reports (25,379 medically confirmed and 16,707 non-medically confirmed) containing 158,893 events. An underreporting factor was not calculated but could be as high as 100. Appendix 1 is a 9-page tightly packed list of “adverse events of special interest.” Steve Kirsch in his preliminary analysis (tinyurl.com/3ujdeus8) writes that there is nothing that should surprise those who have read the VAERS reports, but this should be harder to ignore.

Checking Compliance

At the World Economic Forum, Albert Bourla discussed the “first electronic pill” approved by the FDA. It contains an electronic chip that sends a signal once the pill is dissolved in the stomach so that one knows the patient has taken the drug (tinyurl.com/m68a6j9j). Much more reliable than pill counting!

Albert Bourla, D.V.M., holds a Ph.D. in the biotechnology of reproduction, worked with Pfizer for 25 years, holding many senior global positions, and became CEO in 2019. He is an agenda contributor to the World Economic Forum.

Chrystia Freeland is keeping some bank accounts frozen even after Trudeau lifted the Emergencies Act.  For years, she misled Canadians about her Ukrainian grandfather’s work as a Nazi propagandist. In 2014, while working in Moscow as a financial journalist, she was blacklisted for advocating western sanctions against Russia. Since 2019, she has been a member of the board of trustees of the World Economic Forum, and she is working on an authorized biography of George Soros (tinyurl.com/2p938da6).

Volodymyr Zelenskyy was elected president of Ukraine in a landslide victory in 2019, on a promise to ease tensions with Russia. He is lionized by the international press as a fearless hero fighting for democracy, but some call him a NATO puppet and note that tensions with Russia have only worsened steadily (tinyurl.com/5a4uwrbr). He admires Justin Trudeau (tinyurl.com/yckjh3brand). Zelenskyy proposed that the WEF become a stakeholder in the “new Ukraine” (tinyurl.com/3hnvxnsb). Republicans are attacking Rep.

‘Emergencies’ and the Rule of Law

In a remarkable coincidence, as the rationale for the emergency powers to fight the COVID-19 pandemic started to wane, the government started pushing for confrontation with Russia and assuming war powers. Tucker Carlson noted that Biden immediately declared total economic war on Russia without pausing for public debate or congressional authorization. After destroying the ruble, he began seizing the private property of persons affiliated with that country without a trial or due process of any kind, or naming the crime that had supposedly been committed. This is unprecedented; the U.S. has always stood for the rule of law.

Instead of worrying about being declared an enemy of the state and having their bank account confiscated, Americans are only thinking about Ukraine. The other unprecedented development, Carlson stated, is the control that the tech monopoly exerts over Americans’ emotions. They are changing their social media avatars from BLM signs or mask-up slogans to Ukrainian flags.

One topic cannot be hidden: inflation. Biden denies that government spending has anything to do with it, but Carlson recalls that in the 2008 financial crisis the government assumed emergency powers to “save the economy”—with measures that have continued for 14 years. The Fed being out of tricks, as the allegedly roaring economy is based on asset inflation, not production, government is trying two measures: denying that it is happening, and blaming someone else: Vladimir Putin. [Note: U.S. inflation is more than twice as severe as in peer European countries.]

Attacking and destabilizing the global financial system will destroy the U.S.—not Putin. When the fog clears, the response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will be seen as the most destructive thing a President has ever done to America—and to the world, says Carlson (https://tinyurl.com/5n8smesz). Worse than the response to COVID-19?

Tip of the Month: Surprise office visits by a government agent are rare, but sometimes happen. It is important that you or your staff first verify the visitor’s identity by requesting a business card. Then it is typically unwise to answer questions without invoking your right to have an attorney present for you. One effective approach is to ask the visitor to email you any questions so that you can review and respond to them thoroughly at a more convenient time. The government agent will be insistent on asking “just a few questions” immediately, but be aware that innocent people are prosecuted merely for supposedly misleading a federal agent. There is no obligation to answer questions by an investigator, particularly someone who failed to schedule an appointment.

Doctors Sue California over Assisted Suicide

Legislation permitting assisted suicide, passed in 2016, promised an opt out for conscientious objection. But the amended law, SB 380, signed last fall,  while claiming that “participating” in assisted suicide is “voluntary,” defines “participation” very narrowly. Physicians could be liable for civil, criminal, administrative, or other penalty for refusal to take steps that authorize intentional killing. The Christian Medical and Dental Associations (CMDA) have filed a lawsuit requesting injunctive relief from SB 380’s provisions that violate medical professionals’ right to refrain from speech or action to assist intentional death (tinyurl.com/2p86xb33).

Information and Culture Wars

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been collecting COVID data for 2 years, with specific information on age, sex, vaccination status, race, hospitalizations, and deaths, but has been deliberately withholding it from the public. When it finally did release some data in February, it withheld figures on the effectiveness of boosters in 18–49-year-olds.

CDC cited “fear that the information might be misinterpreted”—for example, as showing “the vaccines being ineffective.” As Samuel Scarpino of the Rockefeller Foundation’s Pandemic Prevention Institute noted: “The CDC is a political organization as much as it is a public health organization.”

The American Academy of Pediatrics got an answer on the length of disease infectiousness from the New York Times. “[CDC has] known the answer for a year and a half, right, and they have not told us…. You can’t find out anything from them (NYT 2/21/22, https://tinyurl.com/2zxj2vps).

“By deliberately withholding data that did not support the government-approved narrative, and simply continuing with the mantra of wear masks and get vaccinated, the CDC has been one of the premier spreaders of true misinformation,” writes AAPS past president Lawrence R. Huntoon, M.D., Ph.D.

From CDC data, equity investment advisor Edward Dowd calculates that Millennials, age 25 to 40, experienced an 84% excess mortality in the fall of 2021, coinciding with vaccine mandates and boosters—a Vietnam War-size event. Dowd also examined the Pfizer clinical trial data obtained by whistleblower Brook Jackson, concluding that the data and the attempt to hide it “point to clinical fraud”  (https://tinyurl.com/2vkbph32).

The Defense Medical Epidemiological Database (DMED) has shown a startling increase in conditions that have been observed to be adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccines, but not in other conditions such as trauma. Because the information was widely shared, Dr. Anthony Fauci and the NIH must have known about it. Yet there was no mention of it until whistleblowers Samuel Sigoloff, Peter Chambers, and Theresa Long released unclassified raw data (https://tinyurl.com/24dd6ea3).

Only now has the Defense Health Agency’s Armed Forces Surveillance Division reviewed data in the DMED “and found that the data was incorrect for the years 2016-2020.”

Compared with 2020, reports of nervous system diseases, for example, are up by 968% in 2021, Guillain-Barré syndrome up 520%, and myocarditis up 184% (tinyurl.com/3xzk929c).

Just as with the war in Ukraine, there is an information war on the COVID front, with intelligence and counter-intelligence, psy-ops, censorship, and breakdown of the rule of law. What is the role of our once-trusted agencies and institutions: FBI, CIA, Dept. of Defense, CDC, NIH, FDA, organized medicine, and our once-great universities? Where do all parties stand on culture and governance? Are they for traditional Western civilization and ethics, or for radical Wokeism? For limited government and respect for inalienable individual rights, or for a totalitarian technocracy in the name of safety and security?

COVID-19 has allegedly claimed 9 million victims in the U.S. alone. How many were lost to the lockdowns or to vaccines—or to treatment denied? Was there mere incompetence—or also intent, and thus criminal liability? Are innocent people dying in Ukraine or from COVID measures due to a hidden agenda?

Denial at the CDC. There have been 57 cases of myocarditis or pericarditis following COVID-19 vaccination. The two boys cited in this article (tinyurl.com/vh24fe3u) were autopsy-proven cases of fatal myocarditis a few days following vaccination. Both were healthy before getting the shot. How can a CDC spokesman tell the Epoch Times that “we don’t have any confirmed deaths from myocarditis suffered post-vaccination at this time.”

 Lawrence R. Huntoon, M.D., Ph.D., Lake View, NY

Heart Damage. As of Jan 16 there were 463 athlete cardiac arrests, with 263 dead, post COVID vaccine. The media pretends that this is not happening. There is no such thing as “mild” myocarditis. The heart muscle cells that die are not replenished, and the heart is scarred long-term.

The Status of Physicians. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that if you are a private citizen, working for a private company, it is unconstitutional for you to have a medical treatment forced upon you.  But if you are a medical worker, you do not have that same protection. The cancer of Medicare/Medicaid that our profession allowed to metastasize throughout virtually all of medicine has now begun to actively consume us. It apparent that the COVID panic/reaction was about population control, not keeping people healthy, and that the public health apparatus views patient and physician autonomy as dispensable as the truth.

The decision is based on false information. Why should we believe any claims from the factory that has produced an unbroken string of failure and lies? It is not about “saving lives,” but rather using the bodies of subject workers to offer to the public as trophies in the unending War on COVID. We are the servant class, not to be trusted or respected, and our value lies only in our obedience. We are living in a 1984 state of medicine.

Get Prepared. The sanctions on Russia might have only a modest impact there, especially if China does not join them. But Americans had better prepare. Lumber, petroleum, precious metals, iron, and cereal are all going to be affected by supply disruptions traceable to Russia or Ukraine. Do not rely on the legacy media to tell you what to think and how to respond. They cannot be trusted to tell the truth. They will spin everything and say whatever the government (or the World Economic Forum) wants them to say (https://tinyurl.com/3pz5red4).

Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid. Recent actions of the Canadian government show that it is concerned only about protests against its policies, not about COVID-19. Justice Minister David Lametti dodged questions about the terms and conditions the government is using to instruct financial institutions, but finally, after equating the Trudeau order to the same principles around terrorism, he said: “If you are a member of a pro-Trump movement who is donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to this kind of thing, then you ought to be worried” (tinyurl.com/mr36uz3a). Canada’s dragnet will encompass every part of the financial system (including securities dealers) in order to cut off the truckers from funding. Trudeau has been accused of almost  crashing the Canadian economy of banking, insurance, and real estate, single-handedly in just a few days.

The Great Reset. Diverse sources (tinyurl.com/5n7y82vz, tinyurl.com/2p8rvdd2, tinyurl.com/5a3w46hv) lead to the conclusion that the Great Reset is the over-arching background within which vaccine and other mandates must be understood. Historic de facto dismissal of foundational personal rights and draconian control of dissent and resistance are embedded into the entire pandemic response and utilize the pandemic itself as a tool or weapon to seize autocratic power. Big Government, Big Tech, Big Finance, Big Pharma, and even organized medicine are either purposefully, or unwittingly caught into the web of deception and  are complicit in allowing this all to happen.

Genetic Targeting? From a letter to Gov. Ron DeSantis: The FDA should be aware of the racial specificity of the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 as potentially or actually causing racially specific harm…. The spike protein…involves both furin and TMPRSS2 protease cleavage sites. Both…seem to be preferentially found in black, brown and Native American populations…. [Also,]…the specific ACE2 receptor binding domain (RBD)…attracts black, brown, and Native American…ACE2 receptors but repels the ACE2 receptors of K26R found in [certain] others.

These findings suggest that not only should the Pfizer vaccine not be approved for young children but that the Pfizer vaccine stop being mandated in anyone until racially specific short-term and long-term damage may be elucidated utilizing computer modeling rather than human experimentation…. Please consider asking companies or intelligence units that have done computer modeling of the spike protein…[to] turn over their data to the FDA and unbiased physicians and others for review.

Volume 77, no. 12  December 2021

A state of emergency, as from a tornado, flood, wildfire, civil unrest, or even a plague, is temporary. Something that permanently cancels traditions, civil rights, existing law, family ties, friendships, and long-standing institutions is a revolution.

In 1665, the Black Plague killed up to 100,000 of London’s population of about 460,000, about 20%. The 1918 pandemic influenza killed about 675,000 of 103 million Americans, about 0.66%. To date, nearly 800,000 U.S. deaths are attributed to COVID-19, or 0.26%. It is said to have “become the deadliest pandemic in American history” (https://tinyurl.com/yu3nrk2n)—and the only one to threaten our way of life.

Alarming daily news reports about this respiratory virus continued, even when the excess all-cause mortality rate had fallen to nearly normal. The majority of adults responded by getting the COVID-19 jabs, yet the mortality rate is now rising rapidly (tinyurl.com/5bf2vb83). In 24 countries and 16 states, cases reached all-time highs after vaccine rollouts (tinyurl.com/4avtnbwf). The least vaccinated continent, Africa, with only 6% jabbed, is the least affected by COVID-19. Yet the Biden regime is blaming the unvaccinated and rushing to jab the one age group in which all-cause mortality is less than baseline (ages 0–14).

Does “the science” tell us to assume that things would have been even worse without the jabs?

The question of vaccine-caused damage and mortality is so radioactive that a press conference sponsored by U.S Senator Ron Johnson, featuring testimony by vaccine-injured people or their parents (tinyurl.com/9kx7v974) is suppressed. An edited version of a panel discussion with medical experts and patients held by Sen. Johnson is available on YouTube (tinyurl.com/26nf9m7y).

If this testimony were on network television, vaccination centers would be still emptier, even if Dr. Fauci followed with reassurances about rarity and coincidences. To the “benefits greatly outweigh the risks,” most people would reply that a one-in-a-million risk of that person’s horrible outcome is not worth it.

Civil Rights Emergency

The long tradition of liberty in Western countries is the target of extremist government measures that treat the unvaccinated as Untermenschen. Austria has become a dictatorship, stated Herbert Kickl of the “far-Right” Freedom party, which has also advocated “scientifically unproven” early treatment with drugs such as ivermectin. Austria entered its fourth national lockdown on Nov 22,  which is supposed to be lifted for fully vaccinated people by Dec 12. (“Fully vaccinated” status expires in 7 months.) In February, vaccination will be mandatory for all, with certain medical exceptions. Austria, said to be the least vaccinated country in Western Europe, will be the first to implement a universal mandate. Persuasion has not worked in 34%, noted Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg, so now there will be fines, and prison for those who cannot or will not pay (https://tinyurl.com/wenyxwcr).

Throughout the world, millions were in the streets on Nov 20, protesting vaccine passports and COVID-19 vaccine mandates (tinyurl.com/949ezf89). U.S. mainstream media was only concerned about protests of the Rittenhouse not-guilty verdict.

In some places in India, persons with leprosy—formerly a lifelong, incurable disease—still cannot get a driver’s license or ride on trains. Otherwise, people have not, until now, been treated as pariahs because of health status, certainly not because they might contract a disease that would be contagious for 2 weeks. Recall the uproar about briefly quarantining people who had been exposed to Ebola. AIDS-infected victims were never subjected to government edicts barring them from private businesses or from employment or from receiving their pensions or needed goods and services. Today, there is outrage about the social discrimination that did occur (tinyurl.com/yufebenv).

Washington Post columnist and former Planned Parenthood head Leana Wen, M.D., said: “We need to start looking at the choice to remain unvaccinated the same as we look at driving while intoxicated.” Noam Chomsky said the unvaccinated should be isolated, and trouble getting food was “their problem” (ibid.).

Medical Emergency

The healthcare sector has lost nearly half a million workers since February 2020. Some 18% quit, and 12% were laid off. Vaccine mandates are likely to result in the loss of many more.

An article in The Atlantic blames poor pay and working conditions and the stress of dealing with COVID-19. “Most” patients, it claims, are unvaccinated and may be “belligerent and vocal.”  Some might have “yelled for hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin, neither of which has any proven benefit for COVID-19.”

It is now much harder to get good medical care for anything, author Ed Jong notes. Workers suffer “moral distress” from being unable to do what they know is right (tinyurl.com/f8bkss78).

Moral Emergency

As stated by Jörg Hacker, former president of the Robert Koch Institut (2008–2010), “Almost all have participated or remained silent. For the violation of humanistic principles, for the breach of dignity and bodily integrity, there has never been a justification, even when the majority tolerates or actually demands it” [ed. translation] (tinyurl.com/sm6w5ude). As the current RKI head says there is an emergency, RKI might support  a mandate.

Precedent

During World War II, 120,000 Japanese men, women, children were hauled off without trial and imprisoned for 3 years or more in a hellish camp, on the basis of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066. This was later legalized by Congress and upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in Korematsu v. U.S. The majority of the victims were U.S. citizens, some World War I veterans. Not one was ever found guilty of spying or sabotage for Tokyo, although 10 Caucasians were. Meanwhile, 156,000 persons of Japanese descent remained free in Hawaii, where only 4,000 leaders were imprisoned. The Supreme Court precedent stands, and not one single official was ever held accountable for up-ending the lives of innocent individuals (Richard Maybury’s Early Warning Report, December 2021).

‘A War Is Not Lost Until You Consider It Lost’

The attack on Pearl Harbor was based on the concept of Kantai Kessen, or the Decisive Battle Doctrine, which holds that a nation-state may hope to prevail over a much more powerful adversary only by bringing the opponent to battle on a field of the weaker nation’s choosing. The Pearl Harbor sneak attack was a brilliant tactical success for Japan, but a strategic catastrophe in the long run. Admiral Yamamoto issued the prophetic warning: “I fear that all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve.” Americans were furious, but did not seek the decisive battle the Japanese hoped for. Instead, they waited, building up their strength. The Imperial Japanese Navy lost the war the second the Americans refused to follow the script the Japanese had laid out for them (tinyurl.com/2p8u53xr).

Over the past year or two, all elements of the “Woke” contingent—media, universities, nongovernmental organizations, tech companies, radicals, the Democrat Party, “never-Trumper” Republicans, the Deep State, upper echelons of big business—have come together like a Japanese carrier group. The shock-and-awe campaign against the Deplorables might appear to be a smashing success. But: “it is all well and good to sink all the ships in Pearl Harbor, but what do you do if the enemy then refuses to concede defeat? Well, you lose, that’s what, provided your enemy can hold onto his patience, his resolve, and his nerve long enough” (https://tinyurl.com/2p9a4yey).

In America’s current class war, the imbalance between the credentialed classes with “email jobs” and the forgotten people who keep the lights on and the garbage from piling up, or drive trucks or fly planes, is even greater than that between America and Japan in World War II.  But how to direct this strength?

COVID Vaccination Red Flags

Neurologic Injury. In the 2.5 months after obtaining an EUA, Pfizer received reports of 158,893 adverse events, with 25,957 being “nervous system disorders.” Attorney Adam Siri testified that 11 physicians had serious neurologic effects dismissed by the medical system as psychogenic (https://tinyurl.com/393rb8zj).

PULS Cardiac Test. Protein biomarkers that predict the 5-year risk of acute coronary syndrome increase dramatically after mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Researchers conclude that inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle may account for increased thrombosis, cardiomyopathy, and other vascular events following vaccination (Circulation, Nov 8, 2021, https://tinyurl.com/2p8nfrby).

Deadly Lots. An investigation of VAERS reports showed that 100% of COVID-19 vaccine deaths with identified lot numbers were associated with just 5% of batches produced. These lot numbers were disproportionately sent to Republican-controlled states, researchers said (tinyurl.com/yc8aakfj).

Unpublishable Observations. An informal review of charts in a cardiology practice showed that 87 patients with previously stable conditions who received vaccine at a retail pharmacy  experienced various cardiac complications including sudden death; all had elevated troponins. Of 32 more privileged patients who received vaccine at an elite academic center, none had worsening of cardiac status and no troponin elevation. Generally, vaccination site is not used as a primary variable in VAERS. Clearly, not all lots or vaccination sites are equal.

UK Death Rates. According to the Office of National Statistics (ONS), all-cause mortality in vaccinated people age 10–59 has been double that in unvaccinated people (about 2.9 vs. 1.4/100,000) since April 2021 (tinyurl.com/ytrnn5dk).

Heart Disease in Athletes. Since December 2020, 183 professional athletes, coaches, and college and youth athletes have abruptly collapsed, and 108 have died, mainly of cardiac problems. There were 21 cases of sudden unexpected death or sudden cardiac deaths in FIFA athletes, five times the pre-vaccination annual average of 4.2. Most have to have the COVID jab to be allowed to play (https://tinyurl.com/2p987fub).

Tumors. There are no studies of carcinogenicity of COVID vaccines. VigiAccess, a WHO database, reports 3,709 cases of “neoplasms”; the UK’s Yellow Card system, 731 neoplasms; and VAERS, hundreds of brain, breast, oral, skin, and colon cancers that appeared suddenly (tinyurl.com/2p9c87nx).

ACTION OF THE MONTH

If you offer early treatment for COVID-19 by protocol similar to those at c19protocols.com, please add your name to a list we are compiling to help patients at bit.ly/covidearlytx.

Can Patients Drop out of Medicare?

Only patients who pay Premium-Part A can drop Part A. To drop out of Part B, patients need to send Social Security a signed written request. Anyone who wants to get back in will have to wait until the next General Enrollment Period (Jan 1–Mar 31), and coverage won’t start until July. Also, a monthly late enrollment penalty based on the time without coverage will be charged as long as the person has Part B (tinyurl.com/2ke9t4dj).

In 2022, Part B monthly premiums will increase by 14.5%, from $148.50 to $170.10, more if one’s modified adjusted gross income was $88,000 or more (for single individual) 2 years ago. 

Patients are asking about dropping out of Part B because they feel it is not worth it. Also, they cannot get non-Medicare-approved services except from an opted-out physician, though most are not yet aware of this.

OK Bill Would Allow Suits for Vaccine Damage

Oklahoma Senate Bill 1106 would allow employees to sue their employers for up to $1 million over medical issues connected to treatments required as a condition for employment. Commenters noted that this was not nearly enough to replace lifetime income and benefits but would send a message. They asked who would decide whether a COVID-19 shot was responsible. A few said that those who agreed to take the shot shared in the responsibility (https://tinyurl.com/3u6yw2n3).

OSHA Mandate Blocked in Fifth Circuit

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit has reaffirmed its stay on enforcement of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) emergency temporary standard (ETS) requiring all businesses with 100 or more employees to require COVID-19 vaccination or weekly testing. It slammed this rule as “staggeringly overbroad” and “fatally flawed,” and said it “grossly exceeds OSHA’s statutory authority” (tinyurl.com/yckwx9r4).

The vaccine mandate “threatens to substantially burden the liberty interests of reluctant individual recipients,” wrote Judge Kurt D. Engelhardt. “Likewise, the companies seeking a stay in this case will also be irreparably harmed in the absence of a stay, whether by the business and financial effects of a lost or suspended employee, compliance and monitoring,… or stiff financial penalties on companies that refuse to punish or test unwilling employees” (https://tinyurl.com/ss9jrxy9).

The mandate does not allow consideration of natural immunity. Tests must be performed by a laboratory or proctored. Extensive record-keeping is required. Since OSHA has only 1,850 inspectors, enforcement would have to rely on snitches.

“While OSHA remains confident in its authority to protect workers in emergencies, OSHA has suspended activities related to the implementation and enforcement of the ETS pending future developments in the litigation,” according to its website (https://www.osha.gov/coronavirus/ets2).

Biden press secretary Jen Psaki, along with the AMA, told businesses to implement the mandate anyway. The Administration is confident that it has the authority to impose the rule and is still working under the guise that businesses will meet the Jan 4 deadline, Psaki said (https://tinyurl.com/yanu8a2u).

Tip of the Month: The DEA fully accepts a home address as the principal place of business of a physician. But guess what? That subjects his home to unexpected inspections at any time, based merely on an administrative subpoena rather than a real warrant signed by a judge. The Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures of one’s home are waived by anyone who uses a home address on his DEA registration. Also, “an individual practitioner or mid-level practitioner whose DEA-registered location is a home must comply with the established recordkeeping requirements (see 21 CFR 1304 and 1305) and security requirements,” the DEA recently announced.

CMS Mandate Challenged

The CMS mandate requiring COVID-19 vaccination of everyone who works in a healthcare facility that receives federal funding has been challenged by at least three lawsuits.

A case brought by the attorneys general of Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah, and West Virginia alleges that the mandate violates the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution by seeking “to commandeer state-employee surveyors to become enforcers of CMS’s unlawful attempt to federalize national vaccine policy and override the States’ police power on matters of health and safety” (tinyurl.com/mrxbjmdx). 

A case brought by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton states that “amid a harrowing worker shortage, the Biden Administration has prioritized this unlawful vaccine mandate over the healthcare of all Americans” (tinyurl.com/2p8dax4e).

The Missouri suit, joined by Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming, states that CMS violated the Administrative Procedure Act and ignores circumstances that “foreshadow an impending disaster in the healthcare industry” (tinyurl.com/yckv5mrm).

Pending Litigation

Natural Immunity. Aaron Kheriaty, M.D., sued the Univ. of California over COVID-19 vaccine mandates in recovered patients. The CDC, stated attorney Adam Siri, cannot cite a single instance in which a recovered patient has transmitted COVID, though vaccinated persons have (tinyurl.com/5eayuset). Dr. Keriaty was placed on investigatory leave (tinyurl.com/9jt5hsnu).

FOIA Complaint. In Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency v. FDA, PHMPT seeks to obtain data relied upon by  FDA to license the Pfizer Vaccine (tinyurl.com/48jacpdd). FDA has asked the judge to give it until 2076 to release the 329,000+ pages of documents, at the rate of 500 pages/month. FDA purportedly reviewed them all in 108 days (tinyurl.com/tvb2jv54).

Hospitals’ Treatment Bans. Lawsuits demanding that hospitals allow ivermectin use in dying patients have mixed results. DuPage County Circuit Judge Paul Fullerton ordered a hospital to step aside and allow Alan Bain, D.O., to administer the drug; the patient is recovering (tinyurl.com/2p93xm2b). Chief Justice Bonnie Sudderth of the Texas Second Court of Appeals in Fort Worth reversed a trial court decision, and Texas Health Hughely is blocking administration of the drug (tinyurl.com/4yna667c). Mary Talley Bowden, M.D., who recommended it, had her privileges suspended by Houston Methodist (tinyurl.com/2p97bhnu).

Support the Jab—or Else. After a hospital complained to the licensure board about a doctor’s writing medical exemptions for its employees, the board suspended his license for 30 days, alleging deceit, fraud, or unprofessional conduct. It is open season on doctors who fail to bow down to the vaccine idol.

Doctors who reject the COVID-19 jab for themselves, for whatever reason, often have their employment terminated, and this may not be the end of the matter. The hospital or university may lure the doctor into resigning, while withholding the fact that a peer review investigation is underway. If the doctor has an automatic termination-of-medical-staff-privileges provision in his contract, the hospital can report to the National Practitioner Data Bank that he has “resigned while under or to avoid investigation,” with no right to a peer review hearing or appeal. AAPS has saved many careers by advising doctors not to resign in these situations.

Notification. I received a notice in the monthly electronic newsletter from the Maine licensure board citing the Federation of State Medical Board’s statement about “COVID-19 vaccine misinformation” (tinyurl.com/5ru7b968) and the joint supporting statement from the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Pediatrics (tinyurl.com/4kj53fek). The Maine Board “also applies this standard to all misinformation regarding Covid-19, including non-verbal treatments and preventative measures. Physicians…who spread Covid-19 misinformation, or practice based on such misinformation, erode public trust in the medical profession and may endanger patients.” Treatments and recommendations that “fall below the standard of care as established by medical experts,” or issuing a vaccine exemption without an “appropriate” examination and without finding a “legitimate medical reason…within the standard of care” may place a doctor’s license at risk.

Michael Ciampi, M.D., South Portland, ME

Non-vaccine Is Failing. Joe Biden’s own senior health officials such as CDC Director Walensky have been telling us since August that the COVID-19 shot does not prevent infection or  transmission of the virus. That’s why the CDC changed its official definition of the term “vaccine” to exclude the term “immunity.”  They say you must take the shot because it may prevent serious illness, but we know there are plenty of other things that may prevent serious illness from the virus—such as ivermectin. On Nov 4, Nature reported a study of 800,000 veterans 6 months after the shot. Between March and November, the effectiveness of the Moderna shot fell from 85% to 58%; Pfizer, from 85% to 45%; and J&J, from 86% to 15%. Factoring in natural immunity, one could argue that the vaccines are nearly worthless. Resistance to the  mandate is growing, with thousands preferring to be fired rather than taking the shot. With the country on the edge of an economic abyss, Biden is doubling down. How far is he willing to go to enforce this tyranny?

Marxism Comes to America. When I was growing up under Soviet-style communism in Romania, we experienced tyranny and deprivation. Now, in the U.S., there are looming shortages, falsified data, bribes for a COVID diagnosis, indefinite detention of citizens without charges, denial of life-saving drugs not on the NIH protocol, strip-searches even without an arrest, and refusal of care to noncompliant persons. Doctors’ visits have been transformed into virtual pretend-care. American Marxists, who are both “D’s” and “R’s,” can easily cut access to necessities and your bank account. The old communists had to hire an army of informers and wiretappers to get a fraction of the information that now resides with our techie controllers. They had Pravda. America has an alphabet soup of fake media to spread propaganda. With technology, Marxism is much worse.

Medicare Ad Blitz. Celebrities such as Joe Namath and William Shatner are on TV urging seniors to get benefits like dental care, eyeglasses, and free rides to the clinic when they sign up for Medicare Advantage plans—which are restricted-access networks. Noncompliant physicians are terminated when they do not follow company rules specifying access to them and the content and value of the medical care they provide.
