According to a startling recent study on the COVID-19 vaccinations, the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine has long-term health risks that have not historically been disclosed, including “ALS, Alzheimer's, and other neurological degenerative diseases.” The new RNA-based SARSCoV-2 vaccines were approved in the United States under an emergency order without rigorous long-term protection monitoring, according to the article. “In this study, the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine was assessed for its ability to cause prion-based disease in vaccine recipients.” According to the CDC, prion-based disorders are a type of neurodegenerative disease, which means that the Pfizer vaccine is likely to cause long-term brain injury...

Dr Surya Kant said it was only after Australia started including Ivermectin in its protocol for COVID-19 treatment significantly, the WHO started thinking about the drug. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recently recommended that antiparasitic drug Ivermectin must be used to treat COVID-19 patients within the clinical trials only. The WHO sighted lack of conclusive data behind this recommendation, which is applicable to “patients with COVID-19 of any disease severity.” Despite this, some states – including Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Maharashtra – are using the drug off-label for not only the treatment of coronavirus patients but also as prophylaxis against...

(...) Medical Doctor and Study Coordinator Sentenced to Prison in Scheme to Falsify Clinical Trial Data A Florida medical doctor was sentenced to 63 months in prison after pleading guilty to her role in a scheme to falsify clinical trial data regarding an asthma medication. Dr. Yvelice Villaman Bencosme, 64, of Miami, previously pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud related to her work at Unlimited Medical Research in Miami. Bencosme is the second defendant to be sentenced in connection with the scheme. On March 5,...

Wyoming’s US representative, Liz Cheney, envisions a dark future for her home state under Joe Biden. If the new administration extends its pause on new oil and gas drilling on public land, it would endanger Wyoming’s economy, kill 18,000 jobs and cause the energy state to lose out on critical education, infrastructure and healthcare funding. Biden would be “cutting off a major lifeline that Americans have relied on to survive during this time”, she has said. But there is a problem with Cheney’s forecast. The numbers she is relying on came from an analysis that is the brainchild of the...

•100% of the 35 studies to date report positive effects. Early treatment is more successful, with an estimated reduction of 84% in the effect measured using a random effects meta-analysis, RR 0.16 [0.08-0.33]. Prophylactic use also shows high effectiveness. •100% of the 17 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) report positive effects, with an estimated reduction of 71%, RR 0.29 [0.17-0.51].•The probability that an ineffective treatment generated results as positive as the 35 studies to date is estimated to be 1 in 34 billion (p = 0.000000000029).IntroductionWe analyze all significant studies concerning the use of ivermectin for COVID-19. Search methods, inclusion criteria,...

Wearing a used mask could be more dangerous than not wearing one at all when it comes to warding off COVID-19, a new study has found. A new three-layer surgical mask is 65 percent efficient in filtering particles in the air — but when used, that number drops to 25 percent, according to the study published Tuesday in the Physics of Fluids

Face shields aren’t really shielding much. A new study is the latest science casting doubt on plastic face shields in the fight against COVID-19. The study included a video to illustrate how a sneeze from a person infected with the coronavirus carries “vortex rings” of contagious particles under a face shield, rendering the PPE useless, according to the findings published by Fukuoka University researchers in Japan in the journal Physics of Fluids.

171 studies regarding early treatment with hydroxychloroquine, 107 of them are peer reviewed, 100% of the studies report positive effects of hydroxychloroquine. That's the number to date, and this number grows rapidly by the week. You can click on the individual studies at this link. Pay particular attention to the most relevant studies that use HCQ in combination with Azithromycin and zinc: https://c19study.com/#early

Dr. Anthony Fauci recently called for a national mask mandate That, in addition to survey evidence showing that people are still not wearing masks in public places, led Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for the last three decades, to advocate for a national mask mandate. Previously, Fauci has generally stopped short of saying that the American people should be required to wear masks under a mandate.The authors of the new University of Washington study arrived at their figures by using a model based on the following assumptions: Masks when worn properly offer a 40%...

The number of Americans living in poverty grew by 8 million since May, according to a Columbia University study, which found an increase in poverty rates after early coronavirus relief ended without more to follow. Although the federal Cares Act, which gave Americans a one-time stimulus check of $1,200 and unemployed workers an extra $600 each week, was successful at offsetting growing poverty rates in the spring, the effects were short-lived, researchers found in the study published Thursday.

Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention put out a “study” claiming that the imposition of mask mandates in Arizona reduced new COVID cases by 75 percent. This is just another example of the weak “science” that the CDC has spewed for months. The piece is simply a report, not a study. And it isn’t a particularly good report. It suffers from extreme justification bias. In other words, the authors of the report had a desired outcome when they put their report together. In fact, one of the authors of the report is the head of the Arizona Department...

Highlights • Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) 2400 mg over 5 days was used in Belgium for COVID-19.• Impact of HCQ on mortality among 8075 patients with COVID-19 was assessed.• Lower mortality in HCQ-treated patients as compared to supportive care.• Lower mortality was irrespective of symptom duration. ABSTRACT Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has been largely used and investigated as therapy for COVID-19 across various settings at a total dose usually ranging from 2400 mg to 9600 mg. In Belgium, off-label use of low-dose HCQ (total 2400 mg over 5 days) was recommended for hospitalised patients with COVID-19. We conducted a retrospective analysis of in-hospital mortality...

Contrary to corporate media narratives, up to 95 percent of this summer’s riots are linked to Black Lives Matter activism, according to data collected by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED). The data also show that nearly 6 percent — or more than 1 in 20 — of U.S. protests between May 26 and Sept. 5 involved rioting, looting, and similar violence, including 47 fatalities. ACLED is a nonprofit organization that tracks conflict across the globe. Its U.S. project that collected the summer protest data is supported by Princeton University. The project’s spreadsheet collating tens of thousands...

These studies tell a consistent story in which political discrimination strongly impacts conservatives, creating a hostile climate for their beliefs. Imagine denying results like these if five consecutive studies reported that one in three academics would discriminate against a black applicant, or that half of women reported a hostile climate against them in their department.

A groundbreaking new study commissioned by Revolver News concludes that COVID-19 lockdowns are ten times more deadly than the actual COVID-19 virus in terms of years of life lost by American citizens. Up until this point there had been no simple, rigorous analysis that accurately and definitively conveys the true costs of the COVID-19 lockdowns. Accordingly, Revolver News set out to commission a study to do precisely that: to finally quantify the net damage of the lockdowns in terms of a metric known as “life-years.” Simply put, we have drawn upon existing economic studies on the health effects of unemployment...

Republican and independent voters are twice as likely to not reveal their true preference for president in a telephone poll, a study found. CloudResearch, an online market research and data collection company, found that 11.7% of Republicans and 10.5% of independents said they wouldn't share their true opinion, while only 5.4% of Democrats said the same. "That raises the possibility that polls understate support for President Donald Trump," Bloomberg reported Friday.

The American Journal of Medicine recently published a paper about deaths associated with firearms. The paper misleads in the first sentence of the abstract. The lie is in the unstated, false assumption. It is a subtle but important shift in causation. The first sentence in the abstract is: News media and policy makers frequently discuss deaths from firearms, drug overdoses, and motor vehicle accidents. The shift in causation is done when the author inserts the word from before firearms and associates firearms with drug overdoses and motor vehicle accidents. The correct word would be with. The correct usage would differ...

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert, said a new study could explain the extraordinary range that people experience with the novel coronavirus, from having no symptoms at all or a mild case to hospitalization or death. The discovery, which found potential signs of immunity in people who had previously been exposed to other types of coronavirus, could also expand the hunt for a long-lasting COVID-19 vaccine.

A study conducted by a Professor at San Diego State University has discovered that people who are easily offended make terrible employees because they never get anything done. The study, conducted by Dr. Jeremy Berneth, involved asking almost 400 employees, aged 25.9 on average, across seven US colleges about different events that have recently gotten “substantial media attention”. The study notes that the events consisted of “17 items developed to assess the proclivity to be offended, eight moral outrage items, 11 microagression items and nine political correctness items.” It noted that some people have a high “proclivity to be offended”...

First, the highly respected Lancet medical journal retracted a major study about hydroxychloroquine. And now, the esteemed New England Journal of Medicine has yanked another study, this one concerning COVID-19 and blood pressure drugs. Both studies relied on data supplied by a U.S. analytics company called Surgisphere. “A Guardian investigation can reveal the US-based company Surgisphere, whose handful of employees appear to include a science fiction writer and an adult-content model, has provided data for multiple studies on Covid-19 co-authored by its chief executive, but has so far failed to adequately explain its data or methodology,” The Guardian reported. "A...
