"Because this is the road to hell. "It's really a road to World War Three. "Whoever decides to continue the war will be making a very dangerous mistake."

Dr Anthony Fauci is again recommending that people don face masks as Covid cases rise. The number of infections is increasing as part of another summer surge - even though hospitalizations and deaths from the virus remain at historic lows. On Monday, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease said: 'The message is that if you are in a risk category you have got to take this seriously.' The 83-year-old told people with comorbidities and seniors 'you should be wearing a mask' in crowded places. He also revealed he had contracted Covid about two weeks...

At the end of a monetary era a number of dominoes will keep falling, initially gradually and then suddenly as Hemingway explained when asked how you go bankrupt. Some of the important dominoes the world will see falling are: Political, Geopolitical, Currency, Debt and Investment Assets. The consequences will be unthinkable – Social Unrest, War, Hyperinflation, Deflationary Implosion of Assets, Debt Defaults and much more. But when things settle down, there will also be offsetting forces such as the emergence of powerful BRICS nations often backed by commodities. Gold will play a major role during this process. Both central banks,...

President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that South Korea would be making "a big mistake" if it decides to supply arms to Ukraine and that Moscow would respond to such a move in a way that would be painful for Seoul. Putin, who was speaking at a news conference in Vietnam, was reacting to a report from Yonhap news earlier on Thursday which said South Korea would review the possibility of supplying weapons to Ukraine after Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un signed a mutual defence pact a day earlier. He warned Seoul against moving to supply weapons to...

Left-wingers are too distraught over the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade to celebrate Independence Day this year. According to an interview conducted by Yahoo News with an anonymous woman, she has decided to skip the celebration of America by "staying home and catching up on chores" because she can no longer get an abortion. "I want the day to feel as normal as possible when everything around us is absolutely abnormal," she told Yahoo. The Pennsylvania native said that she refuses to partake in July 4 activities "as a direct result of my rights and bodily autonomy...

Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN on Monday Americans should stay away from large gatherings for New Year's Eve even if people are fully vaccinated with boosters because they would not know if others are fully vaccinated for COVID-19. "I do wonder we are approaching New Year’s Eve at the end of this week, a lot of people have got events and gatherings planned, and I know you said it’s OK to be with friends and family if you’re vaccinated and boosted, but what is your advice to people about larger settings for New Year’s parties?" CNN's Kaitlan Collins asked. "Kaitlan,...

Property owners and businesses in York are being encouraged to display new signs to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Dr. Matthew Howie, with the city health bureau, said the signs are a way to remind people of the importance of masks and social distancing. The new graphics can be downloaded from a city website and printed. "Historically, businesses have been very open to this sort of messaging," he said. There are five messages, including one that says, "Masks still help." Another says, "Spread kindness, not COVID-19. " "This is one of the challenging messages to get out there because...

Dr. Anthony Fauci dished out more unwanted advice on Wednesday, telling people to check the vaccine status of friends and relatives coming to their homes during the holiday season. "One thing that vaccinated people can feel comfortable with, for example — let's take the holiday setting, you're with your family, you have grandparents and parents and children, when you get vaccinated and you have a vaccinated group and you are in an indoor setting, you can enjoy, as we have traditionally over the years, dinners and gatherings within the home with people who are vaccinated," Fauci said during a live...

Wow, the opposition press isn't what it used to be! In a Sunday interview with "The Sexiest Man Alive," Anthony Fauci, CNN's Jake Tapper played a clip of Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., criticizing Fauci for keeping the public in a state of raw panic over COVID. Johnson: "Fauci did the exact same thing with AIDS. He overhyped it. He created all kinds of fear, saying it could affect the entire population, when it couldn't. And he's doing -- he's using the exact same playbook for COVID." At that point, the anchor is supposed to say something like, "Dr. Fauci?" and...

If you’re going to Home Depot, you will have to wear a mask once again, regardless of your vaccination status. With the spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19, the national home-improvement chain announced Monday they are requiring all associates, contractors and vendors to wear masks while indoors at all U.S. Home Depot stores, distribution centers, and offices, as well as in customers’ homes and businesses. Home Depot is also asking customers to wear masks while in their stores, and the company will continue to offer masks to those who don’t have one. “Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, our number one...

Earlier this week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced it was now recommending masks for everyone – regardless of vaccine status – if they live in an area of high COVID transmission. The CDC changed another recommendation as well. Previously, the CDC said fully vaccinated people did not need to be tested if they were exposed to coronavirus unless they began exhibiting symptoms. Now, the guidance said vaccinated people should be tested 3-5 days after exposure even if they don’t show symptoms. “You should also wear a mask indoors in public for 14 days following exposure or until...

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...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have finally, at long last, changed their mask guidelines. It’s a bit frustrating because it’s something that everyone knew prior, but better late than never, right? Meh, not really. It’s still infuriating especially since the people we're talking about right now are most of those who have been vaccinated for months. Members of Congress still weak masks inside in a transparent display of political theater. Sorry, Dr. Fauci, Rand Paul was right; it’s theater. You were wrong…again. We need to be finished with this clown and Nancy Pelosi too, though ripping the speaker’s...

President Biden on Wednesday warned Americans they may have to cancel “small” outdoor gatherings on the Fourth of July if there’s a slowdown of COVID-19 vaccinations. More than 51 percent of American adults have received at least one vaccine dose, according to CDC data, indicating that herd immunity and the pandemic’s end are near

Some 5,800 Americans have contracted COVID-19 despite being fully vaccinated against the virus that causes it, federal officials said April 15. The Americans contracted the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19, despite getting both doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told The Epoch Times via email. Of the 5,800 fully vaccinated people who were confirmed as so-called breakthrough cases, nearly 400 required treatment at hospitals and 74 died. A little over 40 percent of the infections were in people 60 years of...

Young adults have fueled the latest surge in COVID-19 cases on a national level, according to the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Dr. Rochelle Walensky on Monday blamed the increase in cases on young adults taking part in “youth sports and extracurricular activities,” as well as an increasing spread of more highly transmissible variants from the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, according to a White House press release. The CCP virus, commonly referred to as the novel coronavirus, causes the disease COVID-19 and originated from China early last year, turning into a worldwide pandemic....

President Biden on Friday lamented that people are letting their guard down amid the coronavirus pandemic even though the country is not in the clear yet. "Too many Americans are acting as if this fight is over. It is not," he said Friday during remarks about the “promising” jobs report, which showed 916,000 jobs were added in March and the unemployment rate fell to 6 percent. He reiterated his stance that if Americans just complied with all of the government’s health edicts maybe they could have a small barbecue on Independence Day with close friends and family. "I've told people...

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Monday pointed to young adults in four specific neighborhoods as driving the city's "troubling" increase in coronavirus cases. At a news conference announcing a new vaccination site for union members in the city, Lightfoot noted that although Chicago is progressing in its vaccine distribution, "we are not out of the woods yet by a long shot." "Right now we are seeing a troubling uptick in our case positivity and daily case rates," Lightfoot said. "Folks, I just want to tell you, it was about three weeks ago that we were still on a downward trend...

March 25 (UPI) -- Wearing masks in public and practicing social distancing may be part of the "new normal" in the United States for a while, even as the percentage of those vaccinated against COVID-19 increases, experts from Johns Hopkins University said Thursday. Although daily new case totals across the country have "plateaued" at about 50,000, the country will need to see a "continued decline in the number of [infections], hospitalizations and deaths" before restrictions can be relaxed, according to Keri Althoff, an associate professor of epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore. In addition,...
