Prominent medical scientists and physicians have been warning for more than a year that the mRNA vaccines were ineffective and posed serious health risks. Now, a major German newspaper is reporting that doubts are increasing among virologists, epidemiologists and pharmacologists about whether the information provided by the manufacturers is correct. Die Welt reports the scientists are demanding an independent review of the studies that led to the approval of the BioNtech/Pfizer and Moderna shots. The primary data supporting the studies, they argue, have been kept under lock and key by the manufacturers. Last week, a top London cardiologist who was...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), one of the most ardent proponents of several lockdown policies during the coronavirus pandemic, though often skirting his own rules, tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, he announced on social media. Newsom used emergency powers to shut down businesses and even churches throughout the pandemic, gaining notoriety for having some of the most draconian policies in the country. At the same time, he also defied his own rules, infamously having dinner, maskless, with lobbyists at the elite French Laundry restaurant shortly after telling people to avoid restaurants, and taking off his mask during the NFC...

After nearly 16 months of observation, CDC and U.K. government data indicate that the COVID-19 vaccines not only are ineffective in preventing cases and transmission, they rapidly lose protection against severe illness or death while posing risks. "So what DO they do, and WHY are we using them?" asked Dr. Meryl Nass, a board-licensed internal physician and medical researcher who analyzed the data. She recalled CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky telling CNN's Wolf Blitzer last August that the vaccines were "working exceptionally well" during the delta variant wave to prevent "severe illness and death" while no longer preventing transmission of...

The first South African doctor to alert the authorities about patients with the omicron variant has told The Telegraph that the symptoms of the new variant are unusual but mild. Dr Angelique Coetzee said she was first alerted to the possibility of a new variant when patients in her busy private practice in the capital Pretoria started to come in earlier this month with Covid-19 symptoms that did not make immediate sense. They included young people of different backgrounds and ethnicities with intense fatigue and a six-year-old child with a very high pulse rate, she said. None suffered from a...

Americans should pay attention to the severe coronavirus-related restrictions on civil liberties in Australia, Canada and now Austria, said the inventor of the mRNA vaccine technology, warning the virus increasingly is becoming a "platform for advancing other agendas." "The future of global totalitarianism is here, it's just not evenly distributed," said Dr. Robert Malone, an immunologist and virologist who researched the use of messenger RNA in vaccines at the Salk Institute in the 1980s. He said in an interview Monday with Steve Bannon's "War Room" that Austria -- the first country to require that every citizen be vaccinated -- is...

Speaking during an interview with Fox News Monday afternoon, former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield said that more than 40 percent of people who have recently died from Wuhan coronavirus in Maryland were fully vaccinated. "A lot of times people may feel it's a rare event that fully vaccinated people die. I happen to be the senior advisor to Governor Hogan in the state of Maryland. In the last 6-8 weeks, more than 40 percent of people who died in Maryland were fully vaccinated," Redfield said, responding to the death of former Secretary of State Colin...

"If I catch COVID, there is zero chance I will die." So I told my father a few weeks ago while discussing the never-ending government restrictions and my unwillingness to take the experimental COVID vaccine against a petty coronavirus. Then, earlier this month, I caught the trendy virus. Secretly, I had some angst that somehow karma would hit me and send me to the hospital, mostly dreading the "I told you so" scolding of the vaccine bullies. But just as I suspected, my sickness was easily managed, and the symptoms were those of a mild to moderate flu. For two...

Like many employers across the nation, the Washington State Patrol is "on a collision course with a staffing crisis" due to a vaccine mandate that has virtually removed any exceptions. Some WSP staffers were warned in emails Thursday that Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee's mandate does not allow for religious exemptions, reported Jason Rantz, a talk-host for KTTH radio in Seattle. Rantz pointed out that for more than a year, troopers have successfully worked without a vaccine, using personal protective gear. Rantz obtained an internal poll of the State Patrol Troopers Association conducted Aug. 9-17 that found 295 troopers said they...

What can we say about the harms masks do to children? Is there any evidence that could inform parents about dangers of these masks, whose ineffectiveness we have established in Part 1? We wish to raise some key issues. During April to October 2020 in the U.S., emergency room visits linked to mental health problems (e.g., anxiety) for children aged 5-11 increased by nearly 25% and increased by 31% for those aged 12-17 years old as compared to the same period in 2019. During the month of June 2020, 25% of persons aged 18 to 24 in the U.S. reported...

The question on whether to wear a face mask or not during the COVID-19 pandemic remains vexing, emotional and highly contentious. This question about the utility of a face covering (which has taken on a talisman-like life) is now fraught with steep politicization regardless of political affiliation (e.g., Republican or liberal/Democrat). Importantly, the evidence was never there to support mask use for asymptomatic people to stop viral spread during a pandemic. While the evidence may seem conflicted, the research (including the peer-reviewed studies) actually does not support their use and leans heavily toward masks having no significant impact in stopping...

Rapper Kanye West is many, many, many things, but a conformist he most certainly is not. The entertainer is holding a second listening party for his forthcoming album, "Donda," named for his late mother, and while the music world is mostly abuzz with the apparent delay of the album's formal release, the event has captured headlines for a different reason. And no, it’s not the reported replica of his childhood home that’s been constructed in Chicago’s Soldier Field for the occasion, although that’s got tongues wagging, too, as the New York Post reported. The venue will not be requiring fans...

“Politicians will never stop promising that they can solve our problems if only given more power, but the public may finally be starting to see the limitations and failures of big government."

March 16, 2020 at 1:35 PM CDT - Updated March 16 at 4:35 PM>br> LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - Gov. John Bel Edwards said Monday that all bars, gyms and movie theaters will close in an effort to keep coronavirus from spreading. Restaurants will be limited to delivery and drive-thru orders only. Edwards said on Twitter: “Today, I am taking additional measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 by further limiting gatherings to fewer than 50 people, closing casinos, bars & movie theaters and limiting restaurants to delivery and drive-through orders only. "More aggressive steps are necessary to fight the...
