People infected with the COVID-19 virus in 2020 may have double the risk for future heart attacks, strokes or premature death from any cause up to three years later – even if they never showed signs of severe illness, according to new research. The risk may be considerably higher in people hospitalized for COVID-19 in the first year of the pandemic. The findings suggest that being hospitalized for COVID-19 in 2020 was a "coronary artery disease risk equivalent," conferring a higher risk for future heart attacks, strokes or death in people without a history of cardiovascular disease than the risk...

Intrepid journalist Alex Berenson recently dissected a much-undiscussed study from last June that, ostensibly, points to higher asthma rates developed in vaxxed versus unvaxxed children post-injection as the takeaway — until one, as he did, digs deeper into the data for a much bigger and damning conclusion. After being infected with COVID-19, the study concluded, 4.7% of unvaxxed children developed asthma versus 8.3% of vaxxed children who developed the condition – nearly double the rate in the vaxxed vs. unvaxxed. Via Infection (medical journal) (emphasis added): “Two cohorts of children aged 5 to 18 who underwent SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR testing were...

The tragedy of the COVID-19 pandemic appears to be entering the containment phase. Tens of thousands of Americans have died, and Americans are now desperate for sensible policymakers who have the courage to ignore the panic and rely on facts. Leaders must examine accumulated data to see what has actually happened, rather than keep emphasizing hypothetical projections; combine that empirical evidence with fundamental principles of biology established for decades; and then thoughtfully restore the country to function. Five key facts are being ignored by those calling for continuing the near-total lockdown.

Can any government statistics on COVID-19 deaths be trusted? It is an open question now that we are learning that the highly respected, world-class Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been lying to us. This revelation comes a few days after I wrote here at American Thinker that New York City was lying about COVID-19 deaths. The normal rules about reporting deaths have been violated by that city in the rush to inflate the body count, presumably to steer more taxpayer money to the Big Apple. That the CDC isn’t telling the truth to Americans is no conspiracy...
