White House updates http://COVID.gov to a website outlining how the pandemic originated from a Chinese lab leak

It really spiraled into a long, arduous journey of learning what happens when big corporate interests overtake the needs of an individual," said Brianne Dressen. ... She struggled to survive a COVID vaccine clinical trial, but Brianne Dressen’s story led to a global movement and a historic court battle. ... In 2020, Dressen was a busy mom, a preschool teacher, and married to a PhD chemist. She volunteered to be part of the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine trial. “It just seemed like second nature to me. I was watching what was going on on the news. Medical professionals are in my...

Joe Biden’s senior aides are conducting a vigorous internal debate over whether to issue preemptive pardons to a range of current and former public officials who could be targeted with President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House, according to senior Democrats familiar with the discussions. Biden’s aides are deeply concerned about a range of current and former officials who could find themselves facing inquiries and even indictments, a sense of alarm which has only accelerated since Trump last weekend announced the appointment of Kash Patel to lead the FBI. Patel has publicly vowed to pursue Trump’s critics. The White...

he United States vaccine injury compensation system is grappling with significant challenges in handling claims tied to COVID-19 vaccines. The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic warns that without major reforms, clearing the backlog in the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) could take almost 10 years, revealing significant system inefficiencies. The CICP, designed to handle emergencies on a smaller scale, has struggled to adapt to the demands of a global vaccination effort. According to a report from the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, "The current backlog would take nearly a decade to eliminate without accounting for any new...

A year before American voters’ anger over the cost of living helped Donald J. Trump win the presidency, similar sentiments in New Zealand thrust in the nation’s most conservative government in decades. Now, New Zealand bears little resemblance to the country recently led by Jacinda Ardern, whose brand of compassionate, progressive politics made her a global symbol of anti-Trump liberalism. The new government — a coalition of the main center-right party and two smaller, more populist ones — has reversed many of Ms. Ardern’s policies. It has rescinded a world-leading ban on smoking for future generations, repealed rules designed to...

Uncle Sam infected by a different strain of “long Covid”... As the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) carries out widely-criticized responses to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, officials say the agency’s Disaster Recovery Fund is incapable of handling a third major storm. While some are circulating false accusations that disaster funds have been diverted to immigrants or poured into the proxy war in Ukraine, a review of the agency’s 2024 outlays reveals a different, ongoing drain on FEMA’s coffers: Long after the end of the declared Covid-19 emergency, FEMA is still pumping out billions of dollars to pay for pandemic expenses...

The senior scientific advisor to then-National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci bragged about helping Fauci evade the Freedom of Information Act by using Fauci's private email address or just handing him documents in person, according to newly disclosed emails. The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic published the evidence ahead of a hearing with that advisor, David Morens, related to his own communications in which Morens admits to intentionally evading FOIA by using a personal Gmail address. Chair Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, accused Morens of obstructing the panel's investigation in a subpoena earlier this month. Originally scheduled...

At long last, National Institutes of Health (NIH) principal deputy director Lawrence Tabak admitted to Congress Thursday that US taxpayers funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China in the months and years before the COVID-19 pandemic. “Dr. Tabak,” asked Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-Ariz.) of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, “did NIH fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology through [Manhattan-based nonprofit] EcoHealth [Alliance]?” “It depends on your definition of gain-of-function research,” Tabak answered. “If you’re speaking about the generic term, yes, we did.”

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released previously hidden reports of facial paralysis and other adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination. The 780,000 reports were received shortly after the COVID-19 vaccines were rolled out, and show people experienced a wide range of post-vaccination problems, including heart inflammation, miscarriages, and seizures. “Loss of consciousness and seizure immediately following injection. Went to ER by ambulance,” one person reported. “Diagnosed with Bells Palsy today due to left-sided facial numbness and paralysis,” another said. People lodged the reports with V-safe, a text-message system created by the CDC to monitor for possible...

This spring, the Supreme Court will review the federal government’s alleged efforts to pressure social media companies to censor protected speech. The Covid-19 pandemic revealed a split between those who believe that the government has broad authority to control every aspect of the economy and society in the name of the public good, and those who believe that such intrusions are beyond the government’s constitutional authority. A pending case gives the U.S. Supreme Court the opportunity to decide whether the purported need to protect public health can trump the First Amendment. The Court granted certiorari to hear an appeal of...

one of the more bizarre moments at the Covid Inquiry so far, Professor Neil Ferguson, the architect of Britain’s lockdown, today denied ever calling for the first national stay-at-home order – in the latest instance of lockdown backpedalling. The Mail has more. Professor Neil Ferguson’s terrifying March 2020 models warned that 500,000 Brits would die unless tougher action was taken to curb the virus’s spread. It spooked Boris Johnson into adopting draconian restrictions that saw the country told they “must stay at home.” Vaccines — considered the only safe route out of the pandemic — were still months away from...

NYU professor Scott Galloway, once a proponent of strict lockdown measures during the COVID plandemic, asked for “forgiveness” for pushing those disastrous policies that decimated children’s education and crippled businesses. During a panel discussion on Bill Maher’s “Real Time”, Galloway admitted he was “wrong” for advocating for prolonged lockdown policies. “I was on the board of my kids’ school during COVID. I wanted a harsher lockdown policy. In retrospect, I was wrong. The damage to kids of keeping them out of school longer was greater than the risks,” Galloway confessed Friday. But here’s the bottom line: myself, our great people,...

Former White House top doctor Anthony Fauci netted $2 million in earnings during the Covid pandemic, records show. A Freedom of Information Act request filed at the end of his tenure revealed Fauci and his wife Dr Christine Grady had a net worth that exceeded $11 million in 2022 - up from $7.6 million in 2019. As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and later chief medical advisor to President Joe Biden, Dr Fauci, now 82, was the best-paid public servant in the US, earning about $480,000 per year - more than the president's yearly salary...

A little more than a week ago, during a session to discuss pandemic lessons learned, Anthony Fauci was asked if there was another pandemic of disease X: Would the shutting down of schools and businesses would be part of the response to it? His response is astounding. It proves he has learnt nothing and that the saying “once a liar, always a liar” holds some truth. On 15 August, Fauci responded to the question put to him by Dr. Teena Chopra, Wayne State University’s Dean of Coaching and Professional Development:“Lockdowns have to have an end game. You have a reason...

Documents recently obtained from the National Institutes of Health suggest public health officials used inaccurate information and misrepresented medical research to advance their policy objective that masks prevent severe COVID-19 and virus transmission—despite opposing scientific evidence received from experts. In a recently obtained letter (pdf) sent in November 2021 to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), top epidemiologist Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, and seven colleagues informed the agency it was promoting flawed data and excluding data that did not reinforce their narrative. The letter warned...

VIDEOWatch as these Australian bureaucrats of the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration), which is equivalent to the American FDA, attempt to explain their COVERUP of deaths caused by the COVID vaccine. As you can see, they are reduced into pathetic mumbling messes trying to dodge responsibility for hiding the death reports made by doctors.

A growing number of people, including prominent scientists, are calling for a full retraction of a high-profile study published in the journal Nature in March 2020 that explored the origins of SARS-CoV-2. The paper, whose authors included immunology and microbiology professor Kristian G. Andersen, declared that evidence clearly showed that SARS-CoV-2 did not originate from a laboratory. “Our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus,” the authors wrote in February. Yet a trove of recently published documents reveal that Andersen and his co-authors believed that the lab leak scenario was not just...

Children are being indoctrinated into everything that subverts traditional values these days, and in Canada that includes bringing children along when a loved one is being euthanized — which goes by the euphemism MAID for medical assistance in dying. Children are introduced into the medical killing fields by Canadian Virtual Hospice with its Medical Assistance in Dying Activity Book, described as being for children ages 6–12. In it, the child is taught how a person is killed during euthanasia: The three medicines work like this: The first medicine makes the person feel very relaxed and fall asleep. They may yawn...

“Misinformation” is an elastic term. It can cover anything from intentional falsehoods to incorrect information to contested claims to unverified claims.But it’s hard to argue that it covers things known to be truthful.Now I am, to say the least, not a fan of any efforts to suppress “misinformation” because it empowers some authority somewhere to impose a standard of what is true and what is not, and doing so is dangerous in itself. While I would agree that in a perfect world everything we read, hear, and speak would be entirely true and completely in context, the reality is that...
