Research shows the U.S. had reached what some scientists believed to be "herd immunity" status against Covid-19 last May, with more than 80% of the population immune to Covid either through natural infection or vaccination. And the actual number of immune Americans may be higher. That's because the new study, funded by the Centers or Disease Control (CDC), factored in only 20% of the population as being protected through natural infection after recovering from Covid-19. But over three months ago, CDC estimated the naturally-infected population to be substantially higher: more than 120 million or 36%. And after the spread of...

Rolling Stone had to retract a false story it published claiming an Oklahoma hospital had been overrun by people who poisoned themselves with the Covid-19 treatment ivermectin, and that that had resulted in gunshot victims and others being turned away or were left waiting for emergency care. The story was published amid propagandists working overtime to try to controversialize the Covid-19 therapy ivermectin, which public health officials disparage and recommend against, but many physicians and scientists insist is proving highly effective in some cases. Much of the misleading propaganda implied ivermectin is a horse medicine dangerous to people. It omitted...

The same false information that top immunization advisers and officials at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) promulgated months ago somehow worked its way into an article in the medical journal Science published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). The information incorrectly claimed, once again, that a new study showed people with natural immunity to Covid-19 after infection benefit further if they still get vaccinated, anyway. The writer of the article appeared to use the misinformation to try to undercut the findings of the large study in Israel that found natural immunity is far superior to...

In a television news interview, Giroir was pressing for more people to get vaccinated against Covid-19 when host Dana Perino asked about the role of natural immunity. "So natural immunity, it’s very important," acknowledged Giroir. "There are still no data to suggest vaccine immunity is better than natural immunity. I think both are highly protective." There are still no data to suggest vaccine immunity is better than natural immunity. I think both are highly protective. Dr. Admiral Brett Giroir, Former Asst. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Continuing on, Giroir said, "But I think you, if you have proof...

What many scientists feared at the beginning of the Covid-19 "stay-at-home" orders proved true. And President Trump proved correct on this point-- though few appeared to wish to credit him. "Early look at data from 100 New York hospitals shows that 66% of new admissions related to the virus are people who were at home, Cuomo said... 66% of new admissions were from people who had largely been sheltering at home. The next highest source of admissions was from nursing homes, 18%. If you notice, 18% of the people came from nursing homes, less than 1% came from jail or...

According to studies: ADE can make vaccinated people more susceptible to serious infection from the virus "ADE may be a concern" for those who have been vaccinated for Covid-19 With ADE, after people get vaccinated for an initial virus, infection by a subsequent variant or strain of the virus can result in "increased viral replication and more severe disease, leading to major safety risks" ADE can also "occur when neutralizing antibodies (which bind the virus and stop it from causing infection) are present at low enough levels that they don't protect against infection. Instead, they can form immune complexes with...

Israelis who were vaccinated were reportedly 6.72 times more likely to get infected after the shot than after natural infection.. According to reports from Israel: recovered Covid patients are "far less likely to become infected" than vaccinated people. That data comes from Israel's Health Ministry regarding the country's latest wave of the pandemic. The data reportedly shows: 7,700 new cases of Covid during wave starting in May.. 3,000+ (40%) were reported in people who had been vaccinated.. 72 (<1%) were reported in people previously infected.. According to reports, 835,792 Israelis are known to have recovered from Covid. So 72 reinfections...

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has published the most extensive statistics yet involving reports of adverse events among children who received Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine.According to CDC, there were about 400 cases of myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle, reported in young people aged 12-17 after the Pfizer-BioNTech shot as of July 16.According to the data, about 8.9 million children aged 12-17 had gotten the Pfizer-BioNTech shot as of July 16.The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) received 9,246 reports of illnesses after the Pfizer shots in the youth age group; the vast majority for what CDC considers "nonserious...

We’d have more confidence in our public health experts and agencies if they would admit what they don’t know rather than pretending to know what they don’t. Today’s podcast looks at this week's confusing landscape mask recommendations, Covid-19 vaccines, and adverse events. Are the vaccines wearing off? Are masks for kids good or bad? And what are the most common adverse events reported so far after Covid-19 vaccines? I have an original analysis.

A recent study finds people who have already had Covid-19 are unlikely to get any benefit from vaccination, because they already have immunity from their infection. The study was conducted on employees of the Cleveland Clinic Health System. It's in line with the initial studies by vaccine makers Moderna and Pfizer, which also did not find a benefit to vaccinating people who have already had Covid-19. The findings directly contradict false guidance distributed by CDC. Top CDC officials and the vaccine advisory committee falsely stated that studies showed Covid-19 is effective in people who have already had Covid-19. Once the...

(H/T rodguy911)Sharyl Attkisson investigates Covid-19 originsNumerous scientific insiders are signing onto the “lab origin” theory for Covid-19 and a link to controversial research funded by your tax dollars. High profile health figures who have worked to “debunk” lab origin questions are linked to funding and vaccine research partnerships with China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).The U.S.- Chinese research involved genetically engineering bat coronavirus to make it infect human airway cells in mice, in order to invent vaccines and other therapeutics.U.S. taxpayer money supported the controversial vaccine research with Chinese scientists through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the U.S....

The FDA has just approved a new treatment for early Alzheimer's that's being billed as the first potential "cure" that addresses the root cause rather than just treats symptoms. The drug, aducanumab, could provide hope to millions of patients and families impacted by the terrible disorder. However, there are numerous controversies surrounding the medicine and its approval. First and foremost, not one of the FDA's advisers recommended approving it.

1. U.S. Taxpayer Money Did Go to Controversial ‘Gain of Function’ Research Thanks to some confusing verbal gymnastics by Dr. Anthony Fauci, some in the media are giving the impression that there’s no proof U.S. tax money funded “gain of function” research or that, perhaps, the research didn’t qualify as gain of function. However, the evidence on this point is clear cut.A 2015 published study specifically discloses that the research is gain of function research that took bat coronavirus that was harmless to people—and made it infectious in humans. The study further states that the National Institutes of Health (NIH)...

The Republican audit of Maricopa County, Arizona 2020 election ballots has already turned up "three serious issues." According to a letter from Karen Fann, President of the Arizona State Senate, sent to the Maricopa Board of Supervisors, the county continues to flout valid, legislative subpoenas, refusing to hand over virtual images of routers. The county has also allegedly failed to provide the passwords necessary to access vote tabulation devices for the audit. "...attorneys for Maricopa County have refused to produce virtual images of routers used in connection with the general election." Karen Fann, Arizona Senate President A second issue flagged...

The scientists I talked to don’t want to be quoted by name for fear of repercussions in today’s politically-charged environment. They're highly critical that a U.S. research collaboration was allowed with China— a communist nation that has an active bioweapons program and, is arguably, our biggest world competitor and foe. Scientists from the U.S. and the Wuhan lab joined up on experiments that involved making bat coronavirus more infectious, to try to invent a vaccine. It’s called “gain of function” research, and it’s controversial because it could create a lethal virus that escapes and causes a pandemic. So risky, the...

“That’s what the propagandists know… If the same thing is said over and over again, regardless of how untrue it is, it ultimately sinks in,” says Sharyl Attkisson. A five-time Emmy Award-winning journalist, Attkisson never imagined she would see her profession become plagued by the bias and censorship she now sees in media today. How did things get to this point? Tonight, we discuss the proliferation of third-party fact-checkers, how big tech is controlling online discourse, and what she expects will happen if Trump launches his own social media platform.

So far, at least 8 cases involving multiple instances of alleged voter fraud in 2020 and other recent elections have been brought in Georgia, New Jersey, Texas, Pennsylvania, Northern California and Mississippi.Five people in Wheaton, Illinois were recently charged with multiple crimes involving election fraud during the 2020 general election.The DuPage State Attorney's Office and the County Clerk's Office coordinated investigations into 32 cases of alleged election fraud.

According to news reports, the CDC is soon to release its guidelines on what it will say is safe for "fully [Covid] vaccinated" people to do: "only socialize with other vaccinated people at home."The following is an excerpt from an article in WebMD:The CDC will recommend that vaccinated people try to only socialize with other vaccinated people at home. They should still wear masks elsewhere while observing other safety measures, such as social distancing, reported Politico, citing two unnamed senior administration officials.
