A new study finds that lockdown orders didn’t reduce overall mortality, and may have even increased it. ife under lockdown was hard for all of us. From economic destruction to social isolation, the costs of restrictive government policies intended to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 have been steep. But now, yet another study suggests that the benefits wrought by our collective sacrifice were negligible at best—and that stay-at-home orders may even have increased overall mortality. In a new paper, economists from the University of Southern California and the RAND Corporation examined the effectiveness of “shelter-in-place” (SIP) mandates, aka stay-at-home orders,...

Are we beginning to see evidence of ‘Antibody Dependent Enhancement’ (ADE) due to the Covid-19 vaccines in the United Kingdom? The latest data on hospitalisations and deaths allegedly due to Covid-19 certainly suggests so.ADE can arise in several different ways but the best-known is dubbed the ‘Trojan Horse Pathway’. This occurs when non-neutralizing antibodies generated by past infection or vaccination fail to shut down the pathogen upon re-exposure.Instead, they act as a gateway by allowing the virus to gain entry and replicate in cells that are usually off limits (typically immune cells, like macrophages). That, in turn, can lead to...

Yes, the pandemic does appear to mercifully be coming to an end. How you spent it will have an impact on how you emerge from it. For many of us, working never stopped, but a lot of movement did. For others, they never got a break from anything, as if their life wasn’t impacted at all. And still others ended up in a horrible financial or mental state from which it will take much time and work to emerge. Everyone, one way or another, has been impacted by the last year in a way we will have to deal with,...

Connect the dots. How do you think they will get this technology inside you?Now you know why Bill Gates is so interested in the mRNA gene therapy. https://youtu.be/sL2I8Fqu9HI

Cells contain machinery that duplicates DNA into a new set that goes into a newly formed cell. That same class of machines, called polymerases, also build RNA messages, which are like notes copied from the central DNA repository of recipes, so they can be read more efficiently into proteins. But polymerases were thought to only work in one direction DNA into DNA or RNA. This prevents RNA messages from being rewritten back into the master recipe book of genomic DNA. Now, Thomas Jefferson University researchers provide the first evidence that RNA segments can be written back into DNA, which potentially...

On June 10, Dr. Robert Malone, creator of mRNA vaccine technology, joined evolutionary biologist Brett Brownstein, Ph.D., for a 3-hour conversation on the “Dark Horse Podcast” to discuss multiple safety concerns related to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.In this short outtake from the full podcast, Malone, Brownstein and tech entrepreneur Steve Kirsch touch on the implications of the controversial Japanese Pfizer biodistribution study. The study was made public earlier this month by Dr. Byram Bridle, a viral immunologist.CLICK ABOVE ARTICLE LINK FOR THE VIDEO OF THE INTERVIEW They also discuss the lack of proper animal studies for the new mRNA...

The horror that pervades life right now is almost indescribable. Trusted medical and scientific institutions have been weaponised against us with the aid of a corrupt media industry. Healthcare is being used to subvert society at the foundational level. A dangerous gene therapy technology is being mis-sold to a terrified public as a safe and effective vaccine. A single fact — the bioavailability of toxic spike proteins throughout the body — tells the whole genocidal story. The hideous prospect is of mass infertility, leukaemia, strokes, neurodegeneration… and death. We can only hope and pray that mitigations are in place and...

A malaria drug which Donald Trump was condemned for hailing as a possible COVID-19 treatment can increase survival rates by up to 200 per cent, scientists say. Scientists found that, when ventilated patients with a severe version of COVID were given high doses of hydroxychloroquine with zinc, their survival rates could increase dramatically. Trump said in March 2020 he was taking it to prevent him catching the virus, rather than treat it. He did not become infected until October, and was not treated with the drug.

@alisonannyoung My latest in ⁦@USATODAY: Fauci describes backstory of secretive Feb. 2020 meeting where an elite, international group of scientists discussed concerns the Covid-19 virus may have been engineered.

The masks are coming off. States are reopening. Vaccination rates are still rolling. The level of infection is low. Deaths are down. News outlets, like Axios, are nixing their weekly COVID maps because there’s no need. The pandemic is over. The New York Giants recently announced the stadium will not only be operating at full capacity, but there will be no mask requirement, no negative COVID test requirement, or proof of vaccination. Tailgating will also be allowed. It’s key since if one organization is going to do it, they all will. Look how long it took for Yankee Stadium to...

...I realized in March 2020 that Americans were doing masks wrong. People were constantly taking the same mask off and then putting it on again after it had spent time in pockets, purses, car seats, and backpacks, or just been dangling under their chins. In my OCD imagination, I could see the cross-contaminants grow and fester. This is especially true for healthy, normal children who are grubby disease vectors. I was right. Parents in Florida sent five kids' masks and one adult mask to a lab at the University of Florida. The results were scary and disgusting, for the masks...

June 16 (UPI) -- A single dose of one of the two-shot COVID-19 vaccines prevented an estimated 95% of new infections among healthcare workers two weeks after receiving the jab, a study published Wednesday by JAMA Network Open found. The first dose of the Moderna vaccine was 78% effective at preventing new cases just one week after clinical staff were inoculated, the data showed. Still, 39, or just over 1%, of the nearly 3,400 health workers who received the vaccine later became infected with the virus, said researchers, from the VA Boston Healthcare System. These "breakthrough" infections occurred at least...

A previously symptomless 86-year-old man received the first dose of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. He died 4 weeks later from acute renal and respiratory failure. Although he did not present with any COVID-19-specific symptoms, he tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 before he died. Spike protein (S1) antigen-binding showed significant levels for immunoglobulin (Ig) G, while nucleocapsid IgG/IgM was not elicited. Acute bronchopneumonia and tubular failure were assigned as the cause of death at autopsy; however, we did not observe any characteristic morphological features of COVID-19. Postmortem molecular mapping by real-time polymerase chain reaction revealed relevant SARS-CoV-2 cycle threshold values in...

A Florida appellate court delivered a devastating blow to government-induced forced public masking in the state on Friday with a narrow 2-1 decision that finally took into account citizen privacy rights that have often been ignored throughout the pandemic. In overturning and sending back for reconsideration the decision of a circuit judge in favor of Alachua County's mask requirement, the 1st District Court of Appeal panel cited the state Supreme Court's interpretation of privacy rights "so broad as to include the complete freedom of a person to control his own body," Fox13 reported. A panel of the 1st District Court...

With millions of people inexplicably still listening to Dr. Anthony Fauci despite all measures of credibility lost, his latest pitch for vaccines comes in the form of fearmongering on behalf of the “Delta Variant” of Covid-19. Formerly known as the Indian Covid Variant before the name was changed over unhinged cries of racism, the Delta Variant appears to be more easily spread than the “Alpha Variant” that still accounts for the bulk of cases in the United States.Fauci and his cronies are attempting to scare more people into taking the Covid vaccines. There’s a problem with their logic. In the...

Vaccinated members of the House of Representatives will no longer be required to wear a face covering when on the House floor after the Capitol Attending Physician lifted the chamber's mask mandate Friday afternoon. "The guideline document reflects that fully vaccinated individuals may discontinue mask wear and 6-foot social distance separations in most situations consistent with the CDC revision regarding fully vaccinated individuals of May 13, 2021," explained the new guidance that came almost a month after the federal government decreed masks and social distancing precautions were no longer necessary for vaccinated Americans. Fox News's Chad Pergram reported that the...

A COVID-19 VACCINE INSURGENCE MAY BE BREWING First, a video by Dr. Peter McCullough has appeared, linked below. It’s an hour and three-quarters long, so most folks won’t take the time to watch it. So, here’s a summary: a. Multi-drug regiments for early outpatient treatments (hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, azithromycin + other drugs) were actively suppressed by institutions and governments. Such regiments could have saved many lives. In spite of studies that showed their effectiveness, doctors were threatened with removal of their license―or worse (jail time). b. Mass vaccination of bio-actively vaccines have never been used before or even tested. These vaccines...

Philadelphia, PA - Department of Human Services (DHS) Acting Secretary Meg Snead, Acting Physician General Dr. Denise Johnson, and Acting Commissioner of the Philadelphia Department of Public Health Dr. Cheryl Bettigole today visited the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia to outline guidance to keep children and their families safe while children under the age of 12 are not yet eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine. “As adults and older children continue to get vaccinated, many parents may have questions about what activities are safe for them to do with their children this summer. The Wolf Administration remains committed to helping parents...

Fox News's Chris Wallace came to the defense of White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci on Friday as the nation's leading infectious disease expert faces scrutiny from conservatives over newly released emails. Wallace told colleague John Roberts during a discussion on the network about COVID-19's origins that he had read reports on Fauci's emails and "a number of the emails" himself, concluding, "There's no smoking gun there." "This is highly political. ... You're seeing it as a major talking point for Republicans," Wallace said, predicting that former President Trump would go after Fauci during an appearance in North Carolina...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). One drug that has attracted interest is the antiparasitic compound ivermectin, a macrocyclic lactone derived from the bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis. We carried out a docking study to determine if ivermectin might be able to attach to the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain bound with ACE2. Materials and methods: We used the program AutoDock Vina Extended to perform the docking study. Results: Ivermectin docked in the region of leucine 91 of the spike and histidine 378 of the ACE2 receptor. The binding energy of ivermectin...
