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.

Government and Private Misconduct. Pharmacologist and ethicist David Gortler exposes unethical and tortious conduct by the FDA, CDC, NIH, and many others in matters of COVID mRNA shot promotion and efficacy/safety data. Because all of the FDA’s 18,000-plus employees had access to the same data we have, he asks: Where are the “Dear Doctor” and “Dear Pharmacist” letters with updated safety data; recommendations for follow-up symptom tracking; and Data Safety Monitoring Board? 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.

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!

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.”

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.

Lumber, petroleum, precious metals, iron, and cereal are all going to be affected by supply disruptions traceable to Russia or Ukraine.

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.

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).

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.

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.
