ICYMI, here’s a chart from a recent post by my good friend Mathew Crawford. It basically shows, the more you vaccinate, the more cases and deaths you get.Critics would argue, “it’s confounded! more elderly are vaccinated.” But the same critics cannot show us this is false. They can only do “hand-waving” arguments that it must be wrong. Not very convincing.But to be fair, we can’t cite this as definitive proof either that the vaccines are unsafe.Governments won’t release the data to show vaccinations are safe. I wonder why?We actually agree with the critics that it is confounded but here’s why:...

A mangrove is a shrub or tree that grows in coastal saline or brackish water, first appearing during the Late Cretaceous to Paleocene epochs, and became widely distributed in part due to the movement of tectonic plates. The San Pedro Martir mangrove forest was once on the shores of a vast ocean where the temperature was much warmer, but is now situated more than 170 kilometres inland due to climatic changes in sea levels. The forest offers a snapshot of the ancient past, allowing scientists to understand how environments adapted to changing sea levels as the global climate changed... In...

“So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul" (Proverbs 6:29-32).

(CNN)Using the Johnson & Johnson vaccine as a booster for people initially immunized with the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine produces a strong immune response and may do more to elicit protection against severe disease, researchers reported Sunday. Their small study of 65 volunteers who all initially got two doses of Pfizer/BioNTech's vaccine showed that using the J&J Janssen vaccine as a booster produced a slower but more sustained antibody response against the original strain of the virus, as well as the Delta and Beta variants, they said.... ...after four weeks, antibody levels began to drop off in people who got boosted with...

Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) on Sunday blasted Dr. Fauci for his failed Covid response and for sabotaging early treatment using cheap, available, generic drugs. “I ask a simple question, did Dr. Fauci’s response to COVID-19 work? 788,000 lives lost, many because he ignored and sabotaged early treatment using cheap, available, generic drugs in favor of a vaccine that is not as safe or effective as we all hoped it would be. The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively this past year on the effects of hydroxychloroquine in treating the COVID-19 virus.There have now been 67 Ivermectin COVID-19 controlled studies that show...

Even though she's still in primary school, the Australian pre-teen has created her own company called Pixie's Fidgets - with her mum Roxy's help of course. The mum-and-daughter officially launched the toy business in May - and in the first 48 hours, their colourful popping toys had completely sold out. What's more, PR guru Roxy told Stellar that the company turned over $200,000 [£105k] in its first month.

If anything Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, and the minions of Big Pharma told us was true, there is no way a Norwegian Cruise Line ship could be having an outbreak of Covid-19. Every single person onboard the ship is “fully vaccinated,” meaning that if the vaccines worked a lick at stopping the spread of Covid, the ship should be the safest place on earth from the disease.Instead, they’re experiencing a “major outbreak” of Covid-19 as vaxx-nannies scramble to suppress the story and control the narrative. According to eTurboNews:Despite the requirement that all ship’s passengers and crew had to be vaccinated...

If the results of this election can be overturned, it paves the way for others to be as well.More than 19 months after Tarus Mack was certified the winner of an Eatonville Florida Town Council election, a judge has ordered Mack to be removed from his position due to evidence uncovered by his opponent suggesting votes were illegally cast or procured.“I was very...

The North Carolina Senate passed a bill that proposes to ban private funding of state and county election boards.The push for Senate Bill 724, also known as “Zuck Bucks,” came from what some have described as a record amount of private funds flooding into the 2020 election.If the bill is not signed or vetoed after ten days of reaching Gov. Roy Cooper’s desk it becomes law.Among those private organizations donating funds to local election boards was the Chicago nonprofit Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL).Before the 2020 election, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, put $350...

The Chinese regime may be downplaying how fast its population is shrinking, and a recent policy to promote three-child families has poor chances of improving birth rates, a fertility expert told the Reuters Next conference on Friday.Fuxian Yi, senior scientist in the obstetrics and gynecology department at the University of Wisconsin, said he estimated that the regime’s 2020 population was 1.28 billion rather than the 1.41 billion census number reported and that fertility rates were lower than reported.Yi estimates that China’s population has been shrinking since 2018.The Chinese regime did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The country’s rapidly...

The World Health Organization’s (WHO) chief scientist says the new Omicron COVID-19 variant could displace the Delta variant, which emerged earlier this year as the dominant strain, while researchers recently announced that Omicron may have picked up genetic material from the common cold.Soumya Swaminathan said it’s not yet clear whether Omicron is milder than other CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus variants, while casting doubt on whether it emerged in southern Africa.“It is possible that it could become [the] dominant variant,” Swaminathan said during a Reuters event on Dec. 3, adding that it’s impossible for scientists to make that prediction. The...

Dr. Omar Hamada on Dec. 1 said that the Omicron variant of COVID-19 may provide natural immunity without inducing severe illness, as the symptoms so far resemble more of a “mild, common cold” in South Africa.In an interview with NTD’s “Capitol Report,” the emergency room doctor and former U.S. Army Special Forces lieutenant colonel said that even though “we’re seeing an uptick in [the] number of people affected, the severity of disease seems to be, at this point, minimal.”“If the infectivity is greater, but the virulence or severity is less, this may be actually something good in terms of getting...

One week after the US media and its "scientists" rolled out a full-blown panic parade over the Omicron variant, setting the stage for a new round of lockdowns as a result of a strain which nobody knew much about, yet which was conveniently viewed as a greenlight for trillions more in stimmies, the narrative is gradually turning.First a note out of South African's Medical Research Council discussing the recent development in the Tshwane District, which is the global epicenter of the Omicron Outbreak, and the Gauteng Province Fourth Wave, with the weekly number of cases rising exponentially over several weeks.........

Remember when Anthony Fauci and other government paid medical “professionals” said that American’s needed to mask up and stay home for two weeks to “flatten the curve” on the covid pandemic? Remember when they came back two weeks later and said they needed another couple of weeks? Remember how they backed off of the lockdowns a little and then came right back with demands for more? Remember in 2019 when people weren’t cowering in their homes and behind masks over a virus with an average IFR (Infection Fatality Rate) of only 0.27%? Remember that?At the very beginning of the pandemic...
