AAPS News September 2021 – The Keystone

Volume 77, no. 9  September 2021     

After decades of incrementalism, with surrender of rights in exchange for promised safety or “benefits,” it is becoming plain that neither a nation nor an individual can be half slave and half free. You either have unalienable rights—or you don’t.

If you need an exemption to avoid an action that you believe immoral or potentially lethal, you have no right to liberty.

Medicine, it is said, is the keystone in the arch of socialism. But what about in the structure of freedom? If we abolish the right to bodily integrity, will all freedom collapse?

The elusive SARS-CoV-2 virus might kill fewer than one in a thousand generally healthy people that it infects, but it might be the pretext for completing the destruction of freedom.

Who’s in Charge?

KMED talk show host Bill Meyer asked this question, as have many others. Most of the time, the answer is NOT your doctor.

If you are in the hospital or seen by an employed or a contracted physician, your treatment will be determined by protocol. Doctors who deviate are likely to be fired. Hydroxychloroquine is generally not allowed, but prohibitions go much further. One physician who works in a physician-owned clinic was not allowed to order home oxygen or prednisone. One hospital posted a sign in big red letters: NO vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, or ivermectin.

Physicians may be pressured to give remdesivir (Veklury™), convalescent plasma, or baricitinib (Olumiant™) in combination with remdesivir to unlock a potential bonus payment of up to $20,000 to the hospital from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (https://tinyurl.com/4kspczaf). Under the PrEP act, the hospital enjoys full liability protection when using these “covered” treatments. Still, remdesivir is losing popularity because of ineffectiveness and frequent renal and other organ failure.

The global war against hydroxychloroquine began very early, and recently the attack on early treatment has added ivermectin as that drug has gained attention. The FDA launched a Twitter campaign @US_FDA: “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.” The message warns that use of this drug to treat COVID-19 “can be dangerous and even lethal.”

The AMA and its constituent societies leapt into action, warning about increasing calls to poison control centers. AMA,  together with American Pharmacists Association (APhA) and American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) issued a press release stating that they “strongly oppose the ordering, prescribing, or dispensing of ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19 outside of a clinical trial” (https://tinyurl.com/py5jvt8a). Physicians disagree. They have been writing about 88,000 prescriptions weekly, and. the Chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association, Haruo Ozaki, recommended that all doctors in Japan immediately begin using ivermectin to treat COVID (https://tinyurl.com/292wbnsv). But many American pharmacists are refusing to fill prescriptions, telling the patient and the doctor that “we read the data.”

A Needle in Every Arm

The only permitted answer is the shot. Immunity doesn’t matter. Having antibodies and T-cells does not get you a “green pass.” Having the shot does not prevent infection. Vaccinated and unvaccinated shed virus. Israel, the most vaccinated country in the world, is having a massive outbreak, with more COVID-19 infections per capita than any country in the world. But does the shot prevent hospitalization and death? In the UK, a majority of the COVID-19 deaths last month were among vaccinated people, with a death rate dramatically higher than a year ago, when there was no vaccine (tinyurl.com/y3eszkpz). Could the vaccine be worsening the situation? Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of mRNA vaccines, suggests that the vaccine is leading to escape mutants (tinyurl.com/9ppepjz3). It might create a “monoculture” immunity, like monoculture agriculture. A new strain might wipe out a population that had only very narrow immunity.

In the U.S., authorities claim that we are having a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” Are almost all the hospitalized or dying patients unvaccinated? Nurses on the frontlines who have access to patient charts say no. Whom should we believe?

Denialism prevails on unexpected post-jab deaths. The CDC asserts that the risk of death from [untreated] COVID is greater than vaccine risk (https://tinyurl.com/st4fk34v). However, in the period Jun 26-Jul 9, about 4,000 deaths following the shots were reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), while 3,000 U.S. COVID deaths were reported by Worldometer. Statistics are problematic, especially because of  diagnostic uncertainties involving the cycle threshold of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests that have been used as the primary test to diagnose millions of COVID cases (tinyurl.com/2rz82w9m). 

If the virus were the threat, and saving lives the object, all available weapons would be used, especially early treatment, and  open discussion and accurate reporting would be required. It appears instead that the virus is the ally of those who want to destroy the keystone of freedom, and to rule over a compliant population that dutifully shows up for its periodic booster.

“There will be NO return to the old normal”—say Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum and Dr. Tedros of the World Health Organization (tinyurl.com/55u4bvw). The anointed experts will rule, with the aid of the profiteers, once the keystone crumbles.

Showdown

A showdown is imminent for thousands or millions of once-“essential” workers, who have been serving the public since the beginning of the pandemic, if they decline to take the jab. “Once heroes, we’re now zeroes.” Religious freedom is gone in Washington State, denied by Gov. Inslee; 295 state troopers may be fired (tinyurl.com/efzype77). Health and privacy concerns are irrelevant; millions of veteran nurses may be lost (https://tinyurl.com/2dcxpypu). As many as half of front-line workers have declined the jab (https://tinyurl.com/mkvwpecz). No more free speech: Biden allies are instructing cell phone carriers to censor anti-vaccine texts (https://tinyurl.com/d8cfvknn).

COVID News

Disinfection by Light: Israel’s Ichilov Hospital is the first to use the J. Protect system, made by Israeli start-up Juganu, to disinfect spaces, starting in the imaging departments. Lower-level UV-A can be used while people are present, and UV-C when the room is empty, to deactivate all bacteria, fungi, and viruses, including COVID-1, in less than one hour. The technology, called  The Foam, goes directly into pre-existing light fixtures and can be used in any enclosed space (https://tinyurl.com/n8uk4r99).

HHS Disrupting Monoclonal Antibodies Use: After demonizing nearly every medication with the potential to reduce the severity of COVID-19 symptoms, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) finally recommended monoclonal antibodies earlier this summer.

But now a federal commission will decide when, if, and how much a center can get (tinyurl.com/3xcfykvp).

Vernon S. (“Bud”) Goltry, M.D., R.I.P.

America just lost a valiant warrior for freedom and ethical medicine to COVID. At age 86, ENT surgeon Bud Goltry was still operating, and fighting corporate medicine in Boise, Idaho, virtually single-handed. He wrote to AAPS on Aug 8 about “The Deadly Politicization of America’s Medical Care,” and on Aug 7 about “The Injection Fraud: a Sane Person’s Guidebook to the Global Pandemic.” Dr. Goltry served as president of AAPS in 1998.

Informational Flooding

This pervasive new internet propaganda tool (https://tinyurl.com/xzy2c3kh) is illustrated well in the reports on calls about ivermectin to poison control centers. Suddenly we see hundreds of articles on so-called “ivermectin poisoning.” Indeed, we see more articles published than there were telephone calls in August on ivermectin to poison control centers in the entire nation. We are asked to believe that six telephone calls to poison control about ivermectin, none of which led to hospitalization, are somehow newsworthy, yet more than 100,000 calls to poison control on Tylenol each year are not. Moreover, no one dies of ivermectin in a typical year, yet Tylenol accounts for 56,000 annual emergency room visits, 2,600 hospitalizations, and almost 500 deaths. Is a new expensive drug about to be launched?

To recognize informational flooding, look for the number of copycat stories (https://tinyurl.com/sket9uf4).

Massive Reporting Fraud

According to former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson, now banned from social media, vaccine adverse reactions are grossly underreported. Moderna received 300,000 reports of side effects over a 3-month period following the launch of its COVID-19 shot, according to an internal report from IQVIA, a company that helps drugmakers manage clinical trials. Its “Q2 2021 update” was labeled “Confidential – For internal distribution only.” 

In 2021, the number of COVID shots administered so far (309 million) is roughly the same as all other vaccines administered in 2020 (316 million). But 36 times more deaths were reported this year from COVID shots than were reported last year from all other vaccines combined. Independent researcher Virginia Stoner suggests that death may be one of the most underreported vaccine injuries of all—the victim may not have a relative or doctor who knows about VAERS and is willing to go through the onerous process of filing a report.

A letter from Doctors for COVID Ethics states that official sources from the EU, UK, U.S., and Switzerland report a combined 34,052 COVID-19 injection-related deaths and more than 5.46 million injuries reported as of Aug 1.

“The Signal of Harm is now indisputably overwhelming, and, in line with universally accepted ethical standards for clinical trials, Doctors for Covid Ethics demands that the ‘Covid’ vaccine programme be halted immediately.”

Despite the dearth of negative media reports and the censorship on social media,  the public has become increasingly skeptical. States have administered 52 million fewer doses than have been distributed to them (https://tinyurl.com/9hae5cv4).

FDA Approval Bait and Switch

The announcement that the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is now “fully approved” by the FDA was immediately followed by the Biden Administration’s call for mandates—but in fact this product was instead granted an extension of its EUA (https://tinyurl.com/ethr29j9). Approval was granted to the “nearly identical” but legally different BioNTech product labeled Comirnaty, which is not yet available. Comirnaty is supposed to follow  the “gene therapy” checklist of 5-year follow-up studies, specifically for myocarditis, stated Dr. Robert Malone in an interview with Steve Bannon (https://tinyurl.com/4rs2cmwm).

It is puzzling that FDA took this action despite the fact that the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted for CDC to recommend Pfizer at its Aug 30 meeting. They did so without considering the CDC data on waning immunity and variants that were presented to the panel AFTER the vote was taken. They did not discuss safety signals showing 176 times the number of deaths/person vaccinated compared with flu vaccines.

In 1976, the swine flu vaccine was deemed dangerous and removed from the market after 53 deaths.

Los Angeles Police and Firefighters: Firefighters for Freedom and Roll Call 4 Freedom are planning to sue to stop the mandate for all City employees. The mandate affects some 60,000 persons, including 3,350 firefighters, of whom only about half have chosen to take the shot. Roll Call 4 Freedom encourages members not to submit anything, including a religious exemption, because it is “a form of self-reporting.”  Roll Call states that “we must be willing to die on this hill, otherwise there won’t be another to fight on!” (https://tinyurl.com/4xevnxfj).

In particular, Army Regulation 40-562 (AR 40-562) “provides documented survivors of an infection, a presumptive medical exemption from vaccination because of the natural immunity acquired as a result of having survived the infection.”  The action is a class action on behalf of active-duty and reserve service members (https://tinyurl.com/pd5enrbn).

AAPS Demands Withdrawal of NPDB Report

AAPS filed an amicus brief in the Texas Supreme Court in  Van Boven v.

Although Dr. van Boven prevailed on every point in the complaints brought against him, the TMB refused to withdraw its unjustified, disparaging adverse entry, which continues to harm the doctor. “A Data Bank entry lasts forever, or until it is voided,” writes AAPS. “Sovereign immunity does not apply when state government officials misinterpret, misapply, or misrepresent their powers Properly pleaded ultra vires suits do not implicate sovereign immunity because they do not attempt to exert control over the state but, instead, attempt to reassert control of the state over one of its agents.

Vote with Governor—or Else?

If an elected official holds an occupational license, can he be threatened with loss of livelihood if he votes the wrong way?

Sports medicine physician Jeremy Henrichs, who is an elected  member of the Mahomet-Seymour Board of Education and is on the faculty of the University of Illinois Carle College of Medicine, is being subjected to an investigation by the medical licensure board for alleged unprofessional conduct. The issue appears to be his opinion on a school masking mandate. Illinois Sen. Chapin Rose filed a complaint with the Office of the Executive Inspector General (OEIG) asking for an investigation of the investigation.

Intimidating a public official is a potentially criminal activity, “part of a pattern of abuse of power that the Pritzker administration is undertaking to tamp out any dissent,” Rose said. “Who knows how many others will have their licenses threatened” in fields such as insurance, real estate, and banking “unless they vote with the governor?” (https://tinyurl.com/74m8wtn7).

Correspondence

 “Time to End Excuses and Issue Mandates.”  The people who are so eager to impose their will on others are now using the word “refusenik.” Liberal political commentator Eugene Robinson declares that now that FDA has “fully authorized” Pfizer’s vaccine (sic), “the last remotely plausible rationalization for refusing to get vaccinated is gone.” If patriotism won’t convince reluctant Americans, “maybe the threat of not being able to work, go to school or lead anything like a normal life will do the trick.” Robinson writes that some of the “refuseniks” are following “looney bin advice” to take ivermectin. The acknowledged fact that vaccinated people can get infected and transmit disease “is not a reason to conclude that the vaccines don’t work.” To get a paycheck, “get the shot” (https://tinyurl.com/4u2wneta).

No Control. To give any young person a coronavirus vaccine should be considered malpractice and a crime against humanity, because they do not spread COVID significantly, are at almost zero risk of serious disease or death from it, if sick can get early effective treatment (in the face of determined opposition from organized medicine and political forces because vaccines cannot get EUA if there is an effective treatment)—and yet mandates are exploding all over the country. Some suggest that what appears to be an irrational, inexplicable phenomenon—a desperate push to get every single human vaccinated—may be an effort to eliminate any large “control” group of never vaccinated so their health can not be compared with the vaccinated. The original control groups in the mRNA vaccine trials have begun to be vaccinated, as the companies making them (and untold billions of dollars) argue that it is “unethical” to leave some unvaccinated and vulnerable.

Worse than the Disease? Increasingly, vaccine manufacturers and government officials are following the sarcastic maxim from Samuel Shem’s novel of medical residency, The House of God: “If you don’t take a temperature you can’t find a fever.” In other words, if we don’t critically look at the actual recorded patient damage, we won’t find our products to be defective (tinyurl.com/m38p7ats). Before taking these genetic agents, do  your research: see wonder.cdc.gov/vaers.html. Look for truth by looking at censorship. Resist all government and business attempts to mandate. Do not be coaxed by false promises of more freedom if you take the injections. If you don’t own the rights to your own body, you are a slave.

Gone “Woke.” At the end of a survey by the alumni of Albert Einstein College of Medicine, I commented that the College began to side with big government when it instituted a gowning ceremony in which they told fledgling students that they needed to concern themselves with societal needs, not just with the patient. That is a clear conflict of interest. The practice of medicine is One on One—for the patient. Since then the College’s philosophy has become still more in tune with government dictates—a sad commentary on a once solidly ethical medical school.

AAPS News July 2021 – Surfside & Weimar: Metaphor & Prologue

Volume 77, no. 7  July 2021

More than 100 residents were sleeping comfortably in their $600,000 apartments in the 12-story Champlain Towers in Surfside, Florida, when the building suddenly collapsed, burying the residents in the rubble. There had been indications of problems for a time—such as exposed rebar in concrete columns, or a balcony that looked slanted (https://tinyurl.com/xxcjptd6). The town is built on a barrier island, which is made of a loose mixture of sand and mud.  Geologists have long warned that these islands cannot be developed responsibly (tinyurl.com/5yfvxjf2). The building was sinking at a rate of about 2 millimeters a year in the 1990s (https://tinyurl.com/32h74hvx). We don’t know exactly why the collapse occurred when it did—or the risk to the other $3 trillion worth of similar developments.

Is this a metaphor for the U.S., whose moral foundations, industry, and currency have been eroding and sinking for decades?

As the Fed is creating trillions of dollars out of nothing, and people are beginning to notice rising prices and a declining standard of living, the specter of Weimar hyperinflation looms. But there was much more to Weimar—and we must not forget that it was Weimar that led to the rise of Hitler.

Past Is Prologue

The American musical Cabaret portrays a highly sanitized version of Weimar craziness and debauchery. The German public became fed up with filth under the pretext of “sexual freedom” and voted for a party that promised a return to moral sanity.

 In the opinion of a German immigrant who has extensively read the history of the era, most Americans never learned the truth about Weimar because the American historians who wrote about it were the refugees of the Weimar Regime or their descendants. Arguably, Cultural Marxism, which has become the ruling ideology in academia and other institutions, is Weimar’s toxic gift. 

Weimar was not an enlightened pure democracy that was destroyed by fascists. Paul Bookbinder is one of the few American historians to acknowledge the bad choices made by Weimar politicians and elites (https://tinyurl.com/234ufrh8).

Although he was publishing in liberal post-war Germany, Karl Dietrich Bracher (Die Auflösung der Weimarer Republik: eine Studie zum Problem des Machtverfalls in der Demokratie) was able to point out the inconvenient  truth that the German people were simply appalled by Weimar politicians who pushed fringe liberal ideas (like degenerate arts and the normalization of perversions) while promoting big liberal government as “solutions” to the many economic and cultural crises. For instance, archetypal Weimar leader Heinrich Bruning responded to increasing poverty by increasing taxes, freeing violent offenders from prisons, and calling for legal protection of pedophilia and transvestitism.  These things had no mass support but pleased the German liberal elites. One can argue that by enacting so many fringe policies Bruning was an unwilling helper of Hitler’s rise to power.

Historian Fritz Fischer gained popularity in early West Germany with a theory that provided an excuse for Nazism as an “inevitable event caused by fate” (Sonderweg). Even he presented the Weimar Republic as an asylum run by the inmates.

Hans-Ulrich Wehler, one of the founders of the Bielefeld School of Historical Analysis, aggressively promoted the Sonderweg theory, but uniquely noted that Weimar was a Potemkin Village or façade from behind which the Elites were ruling the “peasantry” mercilessly, while pretending to embrace “modern ideas.”

Hans Mommsen and Fritz Stern, although Cultural Marxists, are good sources of facts about the Weimar establishment. Both confirm the existence of the movement within the Weimar penitentiary system to literally coddle sexual predators, since they were considered to be “true victims of society.”

Does any of this sound familiar?

If the American Republic collapses, will there be a Sonderweg theory to excuse those passive, well-off, open-minded persons who could have done something, but didn’t?

Phony War of the Elites

American “peasants” may be in the streets or at rallies, but are they truly represented by either political party?

It appears that Democrats want to change decorations (get new flag and new anthem, destroy old monuments and possibly replace them with St. George Floyd, etc.); change ideology (replace the American Way with Critical Race Theory and LGBTQ cult); change religion (from Christianity—when Islam didn’t work out, replace it with Wokeism); expand entitlements but not work opportunities; and defund police. Republicans would keep the decorations and possibly add trendy new ones; replace ideology with hypocrisy (outwardly keep American Way but block industry and upward mobility); maintain pseudoreligion (keep some outward forms but abandon the faith and tolerate the intolerable, such as seduction of children); cut entitlements without allowing work opportunities to desperate people; and militarize the police.

The left-wing upper middle class, mostly the professional managerial class, and the right-wing upper middle class both expect to preserve the economic status quo for themselves. Those not in the commanding heights are deeply divided: those who revere the old Republic vs. those who oppose or are uninterested in its restoration.  Angelo Codevilla asks, “Is it possible to rescue and re-found our Republic?” (https://tinyurl.com/yy9ye2mp).

---

Re-founding a Nation

If a large enough proportion of a people is alienated, the body politic loses the capacity to act as a whole. Resetting the country on its original principles—or outright resuscitation—amounts to re-founding a nation, and as Machiavelli wrote that is much more difficult than founding one in the first place. Codevilla (ibid.) notes the enormity of the problem:

“The changes that have taken place in the bipartisan ruling class that controls nearly all our institutions have explicitly denied and denigrated what had made America itself. Today’s ruling class leads and even forces Americans to act, speak, and think as if all that they had thought good were bad, and vice versa. Almost as if a vengeful power had conquered the country.”

There are historical examples of nations rescued and re-founded, most of which involve overthrowing the dominion of foreigners rather than of mutated ruling classes. [Americans might recognize an external threat even if the current Administration has deep ties to it. China, for example, is apparently building 100 new ICBM silos (https://tinyurl.com/2k6w7xm5).]

But “rescuing disrespected constitutions has always required …undoing any number of enemies.” And “lost civic virtue is almost as unrecoverable as lost virginity.”

Silent secession by alienated individuals, the tacit hemorrhage of legitimacy, dooms regimes—but does not by itself re-found.

“Federalism as never before” is key to successful restoration.

The Fed’s ‘Doom Loop’

America is in the throes of virulent underlying inflation, writes David Stockman (tinyurl.com/5adpma3w). In financial markets, it has already fostered huge asset bubbles and a massive shift of wealth to the tippy-top of the economic ladder. Now, soaring prices for everyday goods and services threaten main street jobs, incomes, and hard-earned savings. With unbridled furious money printing, the Fed’s balance sheet has ballooned from the historic 3-5% of GDP and post-dotcom crash of 6.5% to 37%. There is roaring inflation in stocks, bonds, housing prices,  baseball cards, and other collectibles. Through financial fraud, the Fed is the most profitable private company in the world. Over three decades, the financial assets of the top 1% increased 9.5 times, while that of the bottom 50% only 4.3 times, with most of the paper gains trapped in their homes.

Fed chairman Jerome Powell insists that the Fed’s money-pumping madness has nothing to do with America’s rapidly metastasizing wealth disparities, but that is blatant sophistry, Stockman says. The coming inflation will hurt the poor far more.

“The Fed’s perverse redistribution of wealth to the top will also elicit a populist revulsion against the rich, which, in turn, threatens punitive taxation of the very producers and risk-takers who make capitalist prosperity possible. Indeed, Washington is threatening the golden goose like rarely before.”

‘Surprise’ Billing Rules Published

Interim final rules for the bipartisan No Surprises Act have requirements for opting out of the balance billing ban, which is only allowed in certain non-emergency situations, beginning at  the bottom of page 124 of 411 (tinyurl.com/m3j7kdkd). The rules go into effect in 2022.

HHS claims that it is “important that these consumer protections do not present a barrier to obtaining out-of-network care, when an individual knowingly seeks out such care.” However, the requirements are quite detailed and must be presented at least three hours before a service is rendered. Consumers must be made aware that “payment made by the individual might not accrue toward meeting any limitation that the plan or coverage places on cost sharing, including an explanation that the payment might not apply to an in-network deductible or out-of-pocket
maximum under the plan or coverage.”

Providers and facilities will need to translate the standard notice-and-consent documents into the 15 languages most common in the area. If the patient prefers oral communication, a qualified interpreter must be provided.

As an article in the Buffalo News points out, the required form tells patients, “If you sign this form, you may pay more because you are giving up your protections under federal law.”

Dr. Lawrence Huntoon writes: “Regardless of the exact process that will be used to determine a ‘fair’ price for services, fees will undoubtedly be pegged to the Medicare Resource-Based Relative Value Scale (RBRVS) system via some percentage, as HMOs do now. RBRVS, of course, is based on Marxist labor theory.

“Insurers already discriminate against out-of-network physicians by covering substantially less of the bill. Now that insurers will essentially have complete control over all fees, this discrimination will likely be enhanced.

“I strongly suspect that HHS will judge all patients who presents to an ED as ‘emergencies’ so that the waiver will not apply.  But its use will cause undue delay in treatment or put the physician at high risk of termination of privileges if he abides by the required delay of three hours before treating the patient.

“This new law was absolutely designed to eliminate independent practice by out-of-network physicians.”

‘By Any Means Necessary’

The Florida law, SB 2006, which prevents companies and organizations operating there from requiring “vaccine passports” also contains this provision: “If the individual poses a danger to the public health, the State Health Officer may subject the individual to isolation or quarantine. If there is no practical method to isolate or quarantine the individual, the State Health Officer may use any means necessary to vaccinate or treat the individual.”

“Any order of the State Health Official given to effectuate this paragraph is immediately enforceable by a law enforcement officer under s. 381.0012” (https://tinyurl.com/ypkvtv77).

Canadian Physicians Persecuted

Physicians insisting on informed consent for giving COVID jabs to children and adolescents are having their ability to work terminated by organized medicine—despite the World Health Organization’s statement that children under 18 should not get the shot. Five physicians are interviewed by Dr. Sam Dubé (https://tinyurl.com/upnr5cf8). Of special interest at the end of the video is a secret audio recording of the inquisition of Dr. Francis Christian, who is being urged to take advantage of “physician health” resources to cope with the distress he must be feeling as his professional life is being destroyed. Remember the history of Soviet psychiatric “hospitals.”

Tip of the Month: Granting multiple medical exemptions from the COVID vaccine can result in unfair harassment by medical boards, and the medical exemptions may not be accepted by employers and universities. One state medical board is already harassing a good physician about this, and demanding medical records about the patients. This retaliation occurs despite reports that the second dose of Pfizer’s and Moderna’s products has caused heart inflammation in college-aged students. The religious exemption is more difficult for an employer or college to reject.

French, UK Groups Call for Stopping Jabs

A regional independent drug assessment center, the CTIAP (Centre territorial d’Information indépendante et d’Avis pharmaceutiques), has stated that COVID jabs were submitted to insufficient clinical testing, and that the quality of the active substances, their excipients, and the manufacturing processes are problematic.

“Prudence would even dictate that, in all countries where these vaccines against COVID-19 have been marketed, all the batches thus ‘released’ should be withdrawn immediately; and that these [marketing authorizations] that have been granted should be suspended, or even canceled, …until further notice.”

All are “subject to further studies that reach as far as 2024 and even beyond, and these will be almost impossible to be completed because of the way the vaccines are now being distributed,”  said the CTIAP report. Releasing these products is like launching a car manufacturing line without testing quality of the parts, such as the brakes (https://tinyurl.com/32s2tyys).

The Evidence-Based Medicine Consultancy based in the UK, in a report to the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), states the MHRA now has more than enough evidence from the Yellow Card system “to declare the COVID-19 vaccines unsafe for use in humans” (tinyurl.com/wdn25nt2).

Are Colleges, Employers Liable?

The William J. Olson law firm requests colleges to commit to assume financial liability for death, disability, or illness of students being required to take the COVID jab.

 Vaccine Pass. Originally supposed to be “optional and voluntary,” to cost $2.4 million, and to become obsolete, New York’s  Excelsior Pass has already been used to restrict access to sporting events. The highly secretive “Phase 2”  has shocked even the left-biased Buffalo News. Apparently, it will include “health records, proof of age and driver’s licenses” and create a “new, inescapable web of geolocation tracking, building out a map of our most intimate moments.” The state’s 3-year contract with IBM requires IBM to develop a road map to expand the pass to all 20 million New Yorkers. The total cost could end up being $17 million.

Crit Theory and the Hate America Left. Reflecting on the Frankfurt School, postmodernism, and crit theory, Michael Walsh writes: “Wielding their pseudo-intellectual doctrine of Critical Theory,” men who at first seemed like “a bunch of nutty professors with Dr. Strangelove accents” undertook to “undermine every legal and social American institution, from the family, to traditional sexuality, to academe, pop culture, government, and even the military.” Everything is seen as a “construct,” a plot by the “privileged” against the “oppressed” (https://tinyurl.com/ddwtep9r).

Domestic Enemies. Branded and sold as Democratic Socialism, American Marxism is the fight between corporate technocrats and Americans who love their country. The former are aided by corrupt congressmen and bureaucrats and the woke military, police, teachers, professors, administrators, and media. At the bottom rung are activists and useful idiots. Half of America bought the lie and empty promises of “free stuff,” while the rest get lawlessness, protests, burning, and looting. History shows that law and order disappear prior to the complete societal takeover by tyrants, who  present it as a necessity to quell the lawlessness.

AAPS News June 2021 – COVID: Fauci, NIH, et al.

Volume 77, no. 6  June 2021

The best and perhaps only government oversight mechanism available to the American people—the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)—has yielded more than 3,000 emails sent and received by Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has headed the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) for decades.

Dr. Fauci is the highest paid of 4 million federal employees including the President, (tinyurl.com/3jnx2jt5), and probably the most revered. Howard Bauchner, M.D., then editor-in-chief of JAMA Network, called him a “national treasure” in September 2020 (https://tinyurl.com/4jp9eyuf). 

Even after the email release, the Biden Administration press secretary Jen Psaki said that Dr. Fauci has been an “undeniable asset in our country’s pandemic response” and there was no intention to “relitigate emails from 17 months ago.” She did not need to circle back when asked whether there was any circumstance under which Biden would fire Fauci: “No!” (https://tinyurl.com/2hdyfyka). Chris Wallace of Fox News was quick to defend Dr. Fauci, claiming that he sees no actual “smoking gun” in the emails and saying that it’s important to “take the politics out of this” (https://tinyurl.com/24tf7rwf).

Donald Trump asserted that the emails show that the SARS-CoV-2 virus came from the Wuhan lab and demanded that “China should pay Ten Trillion Dollars to America, and the World, for the death and destruction they have caused!” (https://tinyurl.com/jwfjfar8). This misses the main point: what did Dr. Fauci and NIH know about research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), and did they help to fund it?

China probably covered up early cases and destroyed evidence. But the Chinese Communist Party was not in charge of the American pandemic response. That would be the responsibility of American officials, acting on NIH “guidance” supported unquestioningly by academics, medical journals, organized medicine, media, Big Tech censors, and corporate-owned hospitals. Firing the 80-year-old mouthpiece, who was busily appearing on television or answering emails after midnight, would accomplish little.

Laura Ingraham’s “Medicine Cabinet”—Harvey Risch, M.D., Ph.D., Peter McCullough, M.D., M.P.H., and Jay Bhattacharya, M.D., Ph.D.—discussed what Dr. Fauci and NIH got wrong on many issues, and the disastrous results (tinyurl.com/2ba7wamh).

Their policies assured maximum casualties by suppressing early at-home treatment with false claims about dangers of hydroxychloroquine, and recommending therapeutic nihilism based on alleged lack of “adequate” evidence. Meanwhile, Dr. Fauci threw evidence-based medicine and cost-benefit analysis overboard in his gyrations on destructive lockdowns and controversial masks, betting the country on an unprecedented vaccine.

Natural or Laboratory Origin?

The idea that SARS-CoV-2 might have escaped from a laboratory was “strongly condemned” as a “conspiracy theory” in a letter to The Lancet on Feb 19, 2020, drafted by a group of virologists led by Peter Daszak, who declared that they had “no competing interests.” Daszak is, however, president of EcoHealth Alliance, which funded research at WIV. EHA received more than $123 million in grants from the federal government from 2017 to 2020, some from NIAID. The Pentagon funneled almost $39 million to the group since 2013 (tinyurl.com/64249kch).

For 20 years virologists have been creating viruses more dangerous than found in nature. Genetic engineering and “gain of function” research is what their laboratories do. Newer methods of cutting and pasting viral genomes, called “no-see-um” or “seamless” approaches, leave no tell-tale marks of manipulation.

At WIV, scientists led by Shi Zheng-li or “Bat Lady” were using methods taught them by Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina to engineer bat coronaviruses to attack other species, often under Biosafety Level 2 conditions—about as stringent as in a U.S. dental office. It is quite plausible to think that SARS-CoV-2 escaped from this lab, although it can’t be proved because records of Dr. Shi’s work have been sealed, writes Nicholas Wade (Bull Atomic Sci 5/5/21, https://tinyurl.com/4rbswx5d).

The most damning evidence for a laboratory origin is the presence of a double CGG code for arginine in the cleavage site of the SARS CoV-2  spike protein. This coding sequence is rare in nature, but common in the lab, and has not been found in any other coronaviruses (https://tinyurl.com/3xs6z7dt).

Emails showed that Dr. Fauci helped to “debunk” the lab leak theory (https://tinyurl.com/w4c5hbm). In 2012, Dr. Fauci said that the benefit of manipulating bat viruses was worth the risk of a pandemic (tinyurl.com/cj6c5rz7). According to Trump’s Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, NIH tried to block his department’s investigation of WIV research. Then-acting undersecretary for Arms Control and International Security, Chris Ford, reportedly was also hostile to an investigation. In a January 2021 memo he wrote: “I would also caution you against suggesting that there is anything inherently suspicious…about People’s Liberation Army (PLA) involvement at WIV…. [I]t would be difficult to say that military involvement in classified virus research is intrinsically problematic, since the U.S. Army has been deeply involved in virus research in the United States for many years” (Daily Mail 6/8/21, https://tinyurl.com/ver6urrn).

  Dr. Fauci brands the furor over the emails as “nonsense” and told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow that “it’s really very much an attack on science” (https://tinyurl.com/32em8j3f).

Early Warning Signals

Early warning systems work only if they are turned on—and only if there is a response.

Vaccine Breakthrough: A total of 10,262 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine breakthrough infections had been reported to CDC as of Apr 30, 2021; among these, 995 patients were known to be hospitalized, and 160  died.  Beginning May 1, CDC transitioned to monitoring only cases involving hospitalization or death (https://tinyurl.com/3m2j4p8s). As of Jun 1,  2021, 3016 hospitalized or fatal vaccine breakthrough cases had been reported (tinyurl.com/2utarf79).

VAERS: Data entry into the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System is severely backlogged. Over a few months, the number of entries related to platelet problems increased 17-fold, from 370 to 6290 (jpands.org/vol26no2/merritt.pdf). Data entry and retrieval in the antiquated system is very difficult and time-consuming.  One person working with the system estimates that nonetheless 100,000 adverse events are being entered every month (https://tinyurl.com/yrnfddxm). Today, openvaers.com/covid-data lists 5,185 deaths, 571 miscarriages,  3,994 disabled.

Infertility: Infertility from vaccinating the college-age population would not be seen for years. The earliest effect would  appear in infertility clinics. After a previously successful egg donor got the COVID shot, zero of 30 embryos from her fourth donation survived past 5 days, and sperm from vaccinated donors were also nonviable (https://tinyurl.com/vk27vedj).

Precedent for Grooming

The term “grooming” is often used for victims of pedophiles.  But one member suggested that the Gleiwitz Sender (radio-station) incident might be applied to compulsory vaccination.

German operatives needed dead bodies dressed in enemy (Polish) uniforms as a prop in staging their false-flag Gleiwitz radio-station attack. Those corpses were supposed to serve as “proof” that an enemy assault had occurred and many attackers had been  killed by the brave defenders. The problem was how to procure so many dead bodies. Historical accounts are contradictory and mixed with propaganda. Medical details are buried in obscure, difficult-to-access German journals. The corpses were prison inmates, who had reportedly been accustomed to receiving periodic injections of vitamins mixed with low-dose amphetamines and morphine. They learned that those injections didn’t harm them and even made them feel better. On the day of the operation, a toxin was added (likely a mixture of acetonitrile and acetone, resulting in delayed production of hydrogen cyanide). Dead prisoners (“canned goods”) dressed in enemy uniforms were shot to imitate combat wounds. All was done quickly and efficiently with minimal personnel.

Children, parents, and physicians have experience with multiple vaccinations that have (mostly) been harmless. They trust the government and our scientific experts. We are not, after all, prison inmates in a totalitarian country.

Biodistribution of Vaccine Components

The mRNA vaccines contain mRNA coding for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein enveloped in lipid nanoparticles. According to the European Medicines Agency, (only) one biodistribution study, for a different (“surrogate”) type of mRNA that produces luciferase protein, has been carried out in male Sprague-Dawley rats. EMA reviewers stated that “No traditional pharmacokinetic or biodistribution studies have been performed with the [Pfizer] vaccine candidate BNT162b2” (tinyurl.com/5m3wj44m).

Low levels of surrogate mRNA were found in all examined tissues except kidney, including brain, “indicating that the mRNA/LNP platform crossed the blood/brain barrier, although to very low levels” (https://tinyurl.com/483686y3). The virus itself cannot do this. One may ask, what is to stop the immune system from attacking cells such as brain cells that express spike protein? A substantial fraction of VAERS reports involve neurological manifestations.

A FOI request showed that TGA (Therapeutic Good Administration), the Australian drug regulator, did not even request Pfizer raw data (tinyurl.com/fbrph7xa).

Employees Sue Houston Methodist

Houston Methodist, a seven-hospital system, is being charged with wrongful discharge and violating a federal law dictating “that where a medical product is ‘unapproved’ then no one may be mandated to take it.” The 117 plaintiffs, including nurses, receptionists, technicians, and administrators, are asking for a temporary injunction against the firings. Employees can apply for religious or medical exemptions, but none of the 12 requests were granted. “It is unfortunate,” said CEO Marc  Boom, “that the few remaining employees who refuse to get vaccinated and put our patients first are responding in this way” (tinyurl.com/mc6dc9j8).

Plaintiffs include Jennifer Bridges, R.N., who has become the  voice of workers who object to mandatory vaccination, and Bob Nevens, the hospital’s former director of corporate risk.

Correspondence

Freedom Is Expendable. The very day we learned of the Houston Methodist lawsuit, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) came out with guidance telling employers they can legally require their employees to get a COVID vaccination (WSJ 5/29/21). The article states: “And employers that are administering vaccines to their employees may also offer incentives as long as the incentives aren’t coercive.” The “incentive” being offered to the plaintiffs is that if they submit to taking the vaccine, they will be allowed to continue earning a living, paying their bills, and feeding their families.  How is that not coercive?

Minions at the FDA are currently working hard and fast to provide formal FDA approval of the jabs. That will moot some of the plaintiffs’ arguments. Operation “warp approval” will cut corners and take shortcuts like never seen before. In the meantime, this EEOC proclamation is clearly designed to discourage the flood of lawsuits that they recognize is coming, and to demoralize people to believe there is no hope.

In the lawsuit, David Bernard, CEO of Houston Methodist San Jacinto Hospital is quoted as saying: “100% vaccination is more important than your individual freedom. Every one of you is replaceable. If you don’t like what you are doing you can leave and we will replace your spot.”

Boom for Billionaires. On Jan 21-24, 2020, the World Economic Forum met in Davos, Switzerland, and Moderna representatives, business leaders, and World Health Organization (WHO) director Dr. Tedros were there, discussing the mRNA jab. On Jan 30, WHO declared a public health emergency. A huge increase in wealth followed immediately. Michel Chossudovsky, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Ottawa, explained how the “killer virus” fear campaign and global lockdowns redistributed the losses of ordinary people from their pension funds, mutual funds savings, and investments to the rich who profited greatly from the “fore-knowledge.” The combined wealth increase of the 15 billionaires with the greatest growth in absolute wealth was $563 billion or 82%. Billionaires will buy out  bankrupt assets for pennies on the dollar.

It’s about Population Control. Socialism is misanthropic to the core.

It would involve integration of nanotechnology into the human body so that humans can be controlled remotely by the state. Klaus Schwab’s books go into excruciating detail about the digitalization of life—the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Robert Ehrlich, one of their ideological forebears, suggested putting sterilizing agents into food and water. Gates said that  if “we” do “a really great job on vaccines…, we could lower [world population] by perhaps 10 to 15 percent.”

Dr. Fauci a Key Player. Because there IS effective COVID treatment, which Fauci opposes, the vaccine EUAs are fraudulent.  Most of his recommended and at times mandated interventions are worse than futile. It’s the greatest medical disaster in history.

AAPS News April 2021 – Transhumanism

Volume 77, no. 4  April 2021

The desire of certain human beings to conquer the world and to mold other humans to conform to their will began at the dawn of history. In Aristotle’s time, the worst possible form of government was “tyranny”—defined as the rule of one person, or of a small group of people, in their own interests and according to their will. Totalitarianism only became possible after the emergence of modern science and technology. Herodotus recounts that in Persia it was considered illegal even to think about something that was illegal to do, but the Persians were not able to enforce this, writes Larry Arnn (Imprimis 12/20, tinyurl.com/3tphn3r4).

The totalitarian dystopian novel, featuring constant spying, pervasive indoctrination, and psychological manipulation often supplemented with drugs, is a 20th century phenomenon—which the real world increasingly resembles. In the 21st century, some seek to transcend humanity entirely.

The anticipated Great Reset would bring a world in which giant corporations and government would seamlessly merge. Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, predicts a “fusion of our physical, digital, and biological identities” in his book Shaping the Future of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Microchip and other technology will “lift humanity into a new collective and moral consciousness.” It will allow authorities to “intrude into the hitherto private space of our minds, reading our thoughts and influencing our behavior” (Whistleblower, November 2020).

COVID-19: Facilitating the Transition

Pandemic fears have led people to embrace a 2,000-year-old discovery that forcing people to cover their nose and mouth broke their will and began to delete their individuality. As AAPS past president Lee Hieb Merritt, M.D., points out, rituals of the old religion (Satanism) involve wearing masks, washing hands, and standing in a circle 6 feet apart. Masks are traditional occult symbols of obedience, submission, and transformation.

French philosopher Emmanuel Levinas theorized that human relationship and responsibility spring from an epiphany that occurs primarily in the face-to-face encounter. We dehumanize the enemy by seeing him as faceless (tinyurl.com/y4dhe9tb).

In his 1932 dystopian novel The Worker, Ernst Jünger predicted ubiquitous face masks to enforce conformity. As Thomas Crew explains in his article “The Dystopian Age of the Mask,” our “readiness to obscure the face reflects the dehumanising tendencies that…underlie the modern period, [which]…has a habit of reducing the human being to a functional object. Everything “non-essential”—everything…that makes us human—is blithely discarded.” In 1984, George Orwell described the masses as “[300] million people all with the same face” (tinyurl.com/3wzyxusr).

 Human-Digital Interface

Big Tech aims to have everyone interfaced with its computer  technology. Tracking that is rationalized as a means of pandemic control can be used to control all contacts. The health or social-credit pass is now in smart phones in Israel, Los Angeles schools, and China. This could be replaced by an implantable microchip, which could contain financial information as well as vaccination and other health data. It could be like an advanced wearable health-monitoring device, or a swipe card that you cannot lose. Members of a Swedish transhumanist community are experimenting with it (https://tinyurl.com/e9yha9e4).

Such technology, which can turn humans into digital assets in the new order, enables a cashless society. One’s ability to buy and sell could be instantly cancelled (tinyurl.com/26apce8m).

To prevent forgeries of “immunity licenses,” Govind Persad and Ezekiel Emanuel suggest cryptographic or biometric-based features (JAMA 5/6/20, https://tinyurl.com/2396xm4f).

Brain-computer interface systems similar to Neuralink “will eventually become vital to the development of augmented reality products” such as “smartglasses,” states Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg (https://tinyurl.com/dt9up7zh).

And what are the implications of “augmented” (virtual) reality? In 1984, Winston Smith believes that truth is grounded in reality. O’Brien corrects him: “…reality is not external. Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes: only in the mind of the Party, which is collective and immortal.”

The Human Genome

The mRNA vaccines do not affect the human genome, we are assured. However, Moderna’s chief medical officer, Tal Zaks, states in a TED talk that “we are actually hacking the software of life.” Moderna describes our genes and their transcription into proteins as “our operating system” (tinyurl.com/n9jys4zb) and its vaccine as a “computer operating system” (tinyurl.com/y3zjfcud). Genetic engineering, along with robotics, molecular nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence, is seen as a tool for transforming humanity into a post-human species. “The Covid-19 pandemic is providing gene-based vaccines a chance to break through into the global health market” (https://tinyurl.com/cnfjmzr4). China is in the forefront of the competition, and it reportedly already has the world’s largest database of genetic material—80 million profiles (https://tinyurl.com/539cfxvf). It is collecting more, with coronavirus test kits supplied by a firm financed by Bill Gates (https://tinyurl.com/n7t8z6hb).

What, then, is humanity? Or reality? Or ethics?

Anti-Lockdown Protests Sweep Globe

Greatly underplayed by the American media, protesters chanting  “freedom” in several languages took to the streets in some 40 countries on the first anniversary of coronavirus lockdowns. Dr. Simone Gold called it “one of the largest global protests in history” (tinyurl.com/8ruxpv7z). The largest occurred in London, where people were also protesting the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, which will crack down on demonstrations. One London protester said people may ask  what it achieves, but “resistance breeds resistance,” and the large numbers of ordinary people instilled a “feeling of hope” he thought many had given up (https://tinyurl.com/y3xb6sy5).

Vaccination Reports

$4 Billion Pledge: The Biden Administration has pledged $4 billion to the COVAX program to purchase 1.3 billion vaccine doses for poor countries and for a no-fault compensation program for vaccine injuries in 92 low- and mid-income countries (https://tinyurl.com/t7yhrn56).

Chinese Vaccine Gambit: Three companies are developing  inactivated whole-virus vaccines, and one is using an adenovirus vector to carry the spike gene. Since China now has too few cases to do efficacy testing, it has brokered deals to test in 14 countries.  It could probably turn out 1.5 billion doses within a year. “A strategic goal of the Chinese government is to achieve hegemonic influence in the bioeconomy within the next decade.” The vaccine program is helping to build good will for its Belt and Road Initiative, which has been called “ ‘debt-trap’ diplomacy that is a form of neo-colonialism.” (Science 12/11/20).

Mandates: Boris Johnson: “Care home workers will be required by law to have the vaccine.” Vladimir Putin: “Vaccination, of course, is a voluntary decision for every person.”

Ovarian Function: Studies of the effect of COVID vaccines on ovarian reserve are just now beginning. Completion is expected in February 2022 (clinicaltrials.gov).

Astra-Zeneca Product “Safe” despite Blood Clots: Countries

that suspended use because of a higher-than-expected incidence of clotting resumed it after the European Medicines Agency said its benefits continue to outweigh risk—although “causality cannot be excluded” (https://tinyurl.com/b2fetbyt).

W. Daniel Jordan, M.D.: R.I.P.

Dr. W. Daniel Jordan, a vascular surgeon who joined AAPS in 1966, died Mar 11, 2021, at age 86. He was president in 1978-79, treasurer from 2010-2020, and a member of the board of directors in some capacity almost continuously since 1975. He is the author of the AAPS Principles of Medical Ethics. For many years, he was our volunteer meeting planner. A tireless advocate for the sanctity of the patient-physician relationship, his contributions are immeasurable.

Whom Can We Trust?

Johnson & Johnson: J&J has paid billions in criminal settlements and has never produced a vaccine before. Its history includes a “phantom recall” of Motrin 1B tablets; marketing Topamax, Natrecor, and Risperdal for unapproved uses; supplying opioid for making OxyContin (https://tinyurl.com/3ej84se5).

CDC: Screenshot from cdc.gov/nCoV dated 2/5/20: “DO NOT use facemasks” (emphasis in original). “Limited person-to-person spread, most associated with close contact with a patient with confirmed 2019-nCoV, has been seen outside of China.”

Pfizer:  In 2009, Pfizer paid $2.3 billion to settle the largest healthcare fraud case in history because of illegal marketing of Geodon, Zyvox, Lyrica, and Bextra, and submitting claims that did not qualify for payment. Bextra, promoted for uses and at dosages the FDA declined to approve owing to safety concerns, was pulled from the market in 2005  (tinyurl.com/jy8b7emt).

FDA: A whistleblower alleged that FDA “failed to address ‘biohazard nightmare’ at Merck vaccine plant.” It is not even clear whether FDA will require full inspections of manufacturing plants because transparency has been “notably absent in Operation Warp Speed” (https://tinyurl.com/fmpnnpej).

Gilead Sciences: The maker of remdesivir has “21 billion reasons” to discredit hydroxychloroquine, based on its share price. “In the history of medicine, no single drug has been so singularly attacked by the media, World Health Organization, government officials and institutional health experts,” writes James Todaro, M.D., who details Gilead’s influence on clinical investigations and the approval process (https://tinyurl.com/4w8ve2v4).

NIH: Judicial Watch (JW) has sued for records pertaining to grants provided to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (tinyurl.com/rfvwscz8). Previously, JW obtained 300 pages of emails of Dr. Anthony Fauci related to WHO’s support of China’s response to COVID (https://tinyurl.com/xhcknd34).

Merck: After praising its now-out-of-patent drug ivermectin (IVM) since the end of the 1970s, Merck issued a Feb 4 press release claiming there is no scientific evidence for its efficacy in COVID-19 (tinyurl.com/58z696da). Based solely on this press release, Le Moniteur des Pharmacies declared that “ivermectin is out” (https://tinyurl.com/yf6fp4n3). The release was instantly shared by lobbyists. Approval of IVM for COVID would cost the industry about €10 billion, and could disrupt the mass vaccination, tracking, and other globalist campaigns (tinyurl.com/3j85vs). On Jan 25, Merck announced that it was dropping two vaccine candidates because they were inferior to natural immunity, but it is  working on an oral antiviral (https://tinyurl.com/52nahcf4) and  helping to manufacture the J&J vaccine.

Suspicious Orders Report System (SORS)

A long list of entities, including practitioners (formerly known as physicians), pharmacies, labs, and narcotic treatment programs, are now legally required to report “suspicious orders” of controlled substances to a centralized database (tinyurl.com/vke329vk).  “The bar for ‘suspicious’ seems pretty low,” writes Dr. Lawrence Huntoon, “and I anticipate that this will become yet another ‘tool’ in the sham peer review toolbox.”

Teachers Sue over Mandatory COVID Vaccine

Employees of the second-largest school district in the U.S. filed suit last week to prevent the district from mandating COVID-19 vaccines as a condition of employment. Guidance from the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) told employees that “You will provide proof of vaccination via the DailyPass.”

DailyPass is a COVID-tracking system developed by Microsoft that will scan employees and students using a barcode before they can enter school each day. It will coordinate health checks, COVID tests, and vaccinations. Data will be reported to public health authorities and LAUSD healthcare collaborators.

Employees were not informed that they must by law have the option to refuse products available only under an Emergency Use Authorization (EAU) (tinyurl.com/kkabt3tk).

The complaint filed by California Educators for Medical Freedom states that the right “to avoid the imposition of human experimentation is fundamental, and has its roots in the Nuremberg Code of 1947.” It is codified in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations and adopted by the California Legislature. “The standard is indeed so universally recognized that it constitutes a jus cogens norm under international law” (tinyurl.com/4rrchmth).

Doctors Destroyed by Criminal Justice System

A longtime urologist and renowned researcher Joseph E. Oesterling, M.D., was acquitted of all criminal charges, but at age 64 left medicine, trained as a mechanic, and bought an auto repair business. His nightmare began with a SWAT-style raid on his practice while he was preparing a patient for a procedure. At the same time, agents were shattering glass to break into his home. He had “helped out” by taking over a family practice until a replacement could be found; many of the patients were on chronic pain meds. After he won his acquittal, he faced new charges of placing false information in patient records, owing to the auto-population features of the electronic health record. At that point, he accepted a plea agreement (https://tinyurl.com/e395srn6).

Two Dallas spine surgeons were convicted, as almost always happens at trial. Dr. Michael Rimlawi was sentenced to 7.5 years in prison and Dr. Douglas Won to 5 years. These talented surgeons helped pioneer innovative techniques that cut the risk of infection and sped up recovery. They received  payment  for referrals to Forest Park Medical Center as part of an allegedly illegal bribery and kickback scheme (tinyurl.com/yhahh6ed). According to AAPS general counsel Andrew Schlafly, Dr. Rimlawi obtained a legal opinion confirming that the practice was lawful before he participated in it, but was prosecuted anyway. Previously,  2 to 3 years was a long sentence for a physician, but longer terms are increasingly common. Is success in medicine now a crime?

Tip of the Month: HIPAA and e-Prescribing. E-prescribing alone does not trigger HIPAA covered entity status because e-prescribing is not a covered transaction. HHS has not defined standards for e-prescribing. HHS provides a list of what it considers to be covered transactions (https://tinyurl.com/688jth6v). Generally, standard transactions are those that involve an insurance inquiry, transaction, claim, or authorization for payment. They do not usually include electronic transmissions unrelated to insurers. A 2014 publication from AmeriCares states: “Even though e-prescribing involves an electronic transaction that contains health information, it is not a standard transaction for purposes of HIPAA.” However, if the e-prescribing software you use is also used to electronically handle a prior authorization with the insurer, then it might trigger HIPAA because prior authorizations are a covered transaction type. But if insurance is not involved then that likely won’t be an issue. Or the doctor could perhaps not enter any insurance information into the e-prescribing tool and let the pharmacy handle that on its end.

Israel Sued in International Criminal Court

Anshei Emet (People of Truth) has filed suit in The Hague, asserting that Israel’s warp-speed vaccination campaign is a medical experiment that violates the Nuremberg Code and is a crime against humanity. It asks the court to demand an immediate stop to the vaccination campaign, a repeal of sanctions against those who do not take the vaccine, and a cancellation of Israel’s agreement with Pfizer. The suit even claims that “the Ministry of Health openly admitted that 41% of police persons, military, education and medical personnel who were vaccinated suffered severe side effects and life-endangering” (tinyurl.com/vnyph2xu).

Compensation for Vaccine Injuries

Medical countermeasures for COVID-19 are covered under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act) of 2005.  The PREP Act provides immunity from legal liability for manufacturers, distributors, program planners, licensed health professionals, and others authorized to administer a vaccine, except for “willful misconduct.” It authorizes a Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP), distinct from the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) that applies to FDA-approved products. CICP claims must be filed within 1 year of the injury, and are adjudicated by an administrative, not a judicial process. Available benefits include unreimbursed medical costs for serious physical injuries, lost employment income, and survivor death benefits—but not legal costs. The standard of proof for a vaccine-related injury is higher than in the VICP, and rests on results of blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trials.

The CICP received 494 claims related to a covered countermeasure in the 2009 influenza A/H1N1 epidemic; 450 claims were deemed ineligible for compensation. Since the program began, compensation has been provided for only 29 claims totaling more than $6 million (JAMA 2/23/21, tinyurl.com/35jdcdnh).

“To date, the authorized vaccines appear to be extraordinarily safe. People should understand that the benefit for individuals and for society far exceeds the risk of harm from a vaccine,” concludes author H. Cody Meissner, who is a member of two government advisory committees on vaccines.

“Normal” Side Effects. A nurse volunteer in a phase 3 trial for the Pfizer vaccine experienced a fever of 104.9, the highest in her life, a splitting headache, and injection site pain so severe she could hardly move her arm. She said we need to fight vaccine misinformation and make people understand that what they may experience is normal. Clinicians “should reassure patients that the symptoms come because the body is training itself to fight the virus” (tinyurl.com/j2nkprwu). But there are many things that we don’t know, such as what effects the vaccine may have on people with autoimmune disorders. A fever of 105 could worsen an underlying condition, sometimes permanently. Remember that some patients subjected to the hot bath test to diagnose multiple sclerosis never recovered from the deficits it provoked.

Drop by Drop. “Gutta cavat lapidem, non vi sed saepe cadendo” (a drop cuts through stone not by force, but by constant dripping), wrote Ovid. The tool used to replace capitalism with communism was disinformation, drop by daily drop, aided by a Marxist media, corrupt politicians, and corrupt teachers, over a long period of time, carving permanent holes, and building mighty stalactites and stalagmites, in cavernous darkness, away from the sanitizing sunlight. This was explained by Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest ranking Soviet Bloc defector to the West. Gen. Pacepa called disinformation the “bubonic plague” of our modern life. Stalin used disinformation to “dispossess a third of the world and to transform it into a string of gulags.” Unimaginable wealth had been confiscated and 100 million political dissenters and innocents killed to facilitate such theft of wealth and power. In America, communist disinformation has over many decades manipulated all religions, public education, politics, all levels of government, the military, mainstream media, books, magazines, Hollywood, and higher education. It will take generations to reverse the dangerous trend once the web of deceit has been spun so masterfully.

Reduce Air-borne Spread.  Advice from Dr. Quinyang Chen, professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue, editor-in-chief of Building and  Environment, and expert on HVAC systems: Most rooftop systems for small commercial buildings and unitary systems for hotels and dormitories could have 100% intake of fresh outside air; check your system. Install non-stop exhaust fans in toilets and waiting rooms—you certainly want those risk areas to have a lower pressure. Always close the toilet lid before flushing.

Nothing Happens Naturally Anymore. A line from a 1972 book entitled The Master, a collection of autobiographical stories by Bryan MacMahon, seems very applicable to life in 2021: “For the first eleven years of my life Ireland was part of the British Empire, with all the indignities that connoted. I then experienced the first fever of liberty; I now dread the new imperialism of materialism, its prime weapon manipulation. In my bones and brain I am convinced that nothing happens naturally any more, that everything and everyone is engineered by schemers and conditioned by image, projection, package, and presentation.”

Warning Ignored. At age 94, during my months of quarantine in  my independent living facility, I am recording my reminiscences, my thoughts from the “old school.” In the 1970s, I was much criticized by my peers because I warned them that the insurance that was providing them income never before considered possible  was going to become their master. They were blinded by those incomes. They abandoned their leadership roles in hospitals and  national, state, and local medical societies. My recommendation to start a unified society of M.D.s and D.O.s to challenge government and corporate entry into medical care received no support.

The mRNA Vaccines. The Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna COVID vaccines insert genetic material into your cells, and as Bill Gates has described it, “you essentially turn your body into its own manufacturing unit”: you become a spike protein factory. You literally become a GMO. This approach will generate immunity, but could possibly result in long-term auto-immune reactions. We just don’t know.

GMO crops produce better yields, yet many people are suspicious and only buy foods that say “non-GMO” on their labels. I wonder whether those people will take a vaccine that turns them into GMOs, or will they remember the purple cow poem and think: “I never saw a GMO,/ I never hope to see one;/ But I can tell you, anyho’,/ I’d rather see than be one.”
