Question everyone and everything now more than ever.
Corona is a generational event. Big players know these are the moments of opportunity. The chess moves made during Corona will have more impact on society than the virus.
What we are seeing now is what happens when five companies control all of our messaging. All these lies and misstatements, and no cohesive force in opposition.
I’m not stunned by government tyranny and idiocy. That’s to be expected.
But I don’t understand how many Americans in both political parties turned into frightened lemmings and begged the government to wreck us because of a virus.
A few months ago, everyone on the left was calling President Trump the next incarnation of Adolf Hitler. Fast forward to April 2020, and he is being hammered for not taking a more ‘authoritarian’ role in attacking a germ.
A good question to ask:
Why do I need to stand in a line to enter a store? This has gone on long enough. It’s time to end the fear-mongering. Open the economy and stop with the stupid face masks:
2019-2020 flu season
39-56 million infected
410-740,000 hospitalized
24-62,000 dead
Where we’re y’alls masks then?
Rather than hearing lectures from medical experts Fauci and Birx every single night for two hours, can we mix in a few economic experts and constitutional law experts? I’d like to hear what they have to say about all of this.
Of course, no one wants you to hear this. The fear-mongering over COVID-19 is really being used to suppress dissent, not for public health. When did we turn into Nazi Germany? Our local leaders are drunk with power and need to be pushed back.
Covid-19 is being used to create an environment for mandated, top-down medicine, and more importantly, it is being used to crash our economy. President Trump slogged through Russian Collusion hoaxes, Ukraine hoaxes, finally impeachment. Democrats, especially Democrat Governors such as Ralph “Blackface” Northam understand that if they can drag this out until fall, and even further (there is talk of an absurd 18-month quarantine), Trump will be toast…and they are correct.
But let’s keep going…
Fear and ignorance are being used to impose policy, a policy being imposed at the top by Dr. Anthony Fauci.
This graphic shows how tied in Fauci is to some to the world’s largest health-related initiatives.
Big Pharma has been investing a lot in R&D, but the returns have been diminishing. Even the FDA, which has been Pharma’s best friend, is really cutting back as more and more of these drugs are showing harmful side effects. Right now, the soil is ripe for major profits in new vaccines.
This is not pro or anti-vax, but more an argument against top-down, one size does not fit all medicine. That is government-mandated medicine vs. individual medical freedom. That is the right treatment, for the right person at the right time. The argument is in favor of holistic, precision medicine vs. an authoritarian top-down approach enforced by the state.
An elite few are trying to determine for the rest of us what we do. It is not in our interest but in their own economic interests.
Of course, the country that does this best, that treats their people like this is China. The reality is, the CCP used its population only to maximize profits and to basically raid the US economy–they do this by paying their people nothing for their labor. There is a reason why almost all manufacturing in the world takes place in China.
China wants to be sure to increase this hold on the world economy.
A few months ago, President Trump demanded China trade tariffs be altered to make it fairer. This is part of an ongoing trade war that has been taking a toll on China. This slight weakening created some instability, and we saw the Hong Kong protests. Even in Wuhan, the people were protesting for cleaner air and water–they demanded less pollution and a cleaner living environment.
That’s when all of this started.
For perspective, one needs to understand just how much reach the CCP has into the United States, into the economy and our universities.
An example is Wells Fargo, which is one of the leading owners of mortgages in the US. During the financial crisis, one of the leading investors in Wells Fargo was a Chinese lender. So as millions go unemployed, and can’t pay the mortgages, many of these homes will belong to folks in China.
If we look across the university system, China has tentacles into almost every major school. Recently, a professor at Harvard School of Public health was arrested for lying about his income. Essentially, he was quadruple dipping taking money from Harvard, NIH, the DoD and more importantly China. Professor Lieber, through China’s Thousands Talents program, was taking US talent and shipping it to China.
Universities across the country are involved in selling either directly or indirectly intellectual property to the Chinese government. That is why they are so quiet right now.
As a note, the Harvard School of Public Health is involved in, and controls much of the US policy involving vaccinations and immunizations, via mandated medicine.
Recently, the Harvard School of Public Health has become known as the TF Chan School of Public Health after a huge endowment to the school was donated by Gerald Chan. Chan is from a very wealthy and influential Chinese family. This firm is one of the largest investment firms in Hong Kong and China.
According to Chan, the greatest, most influential, important medical intervention for humankind is– vaccination.
Somehow, sanitation, infrastructure, nutrition, eliminating child labor, all were left out of the equation. The plumber and sanitation workers actually did more for overall human health than any vaccine.
So, this Chinese individual, who has donated over $400 million to the Harvard School of Public Health (the largest ever given to Harvard), now has a lot of say in regards to health policy in the United States.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Clinton Global Initiative, and Zuckerberg Chan are all promoters of top-down immunization, vaccination policy. And they are all tied to Big Pharma and China.
Be careful what you wish for
Vaccines, for Bill Gates, are part of a strategic philanthropy that feeds his many vaccine-related businesses (including Microsoft’s ambition to control a global vaccination ID enterprise) and gives him access to global health policy.
Promising his share of $450 million of $1.2 billion to eradicate Polio, Gates took control of India’s National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (NTAGI) which mandated up to 50 doses of polio vaccines to children. Indian doctors blame the Gates campaign for a devastating non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP) epidemic that paralyzed 490,000 children beyond expected rates between 2000 and 2017. In 2017, the Indian government slowed down the Gates’ vaccine regimen and asked Gates and his vaccine policies to leave India. NPAFP rates dropped afterwords.
In 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO) admitted that the global explosion in polio is predominantly from a vaccine strain. The epidemics in Congo, Afghanistan, and the Philippines, are all linked to vaccines. By 2018, 70% of global polio cases were vaccine strain.
In 2014, the Gates Foundation funded tests of experimental HPV vaccines, developed by Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK) and Merck, on 23,000 young girls in remote Indian provinces. Approximately 1,200 suffered severe side effects, including autoimmune and fertility disorders. Seven died. Indian government investigations charged that Gates-funded researchers committed ethical violations: pressuring vulnerable village girls into the trial, bullying parents, forging consent forms, and refusing medical care to the injured girls. The case is now in the Indian Supreme Court.
In 2010, the Gates Foundation funded a phase 3 trial of GSK’s experimental malaria vaccine, killing 151 African infants and causing serious adverse effects including paralysis, seizure, and febrile convulsions to 1,048 of the 5,949 children.
During Gates’ 2002 MenAfriVac campaign in Sub-Saharan Africa, Gates’ operatives forcibly vaccinated thousands of African children against meningitis. Approximately 50 of the 500 children vaccinated developed paralysis.
In 2010, Gates committed $10 billion to the WHO saying, “We must make this the decade of vaccines.” A month later, Gates said in a Ted Talk that new vaccines “could reduce population”. In 2014, Kenya’s Catholic Doctors Association accused the WHO of chemically sterilizing millions of unwilling Kenyan women with a “tetanus” vaccine campaign. Independent labs found a sterility formula in every vaccine tested. After denying the charges, WHO finally admitted it had been developing the sterility vaccines for over a decade. Similar accusations came from Tanzania, Nicaragua, Mexico, and the Philippines.
Public health advocates accuse Gates of steering WHO’s agenda away from the projects that are proven to curb infectious diseases: clean water, hygiene, nutrition, and economic development. The Gates Foundation only spends about $650 million of its $5 billion dollar budget on these areas. They say he has diverted agency resources to serve his personal philosophy that good health only comes from vaccines.
Question: Does anyone remember what Gates and Microsoft used to be like in the late 90s? How are we even considering him a philanthropist, and why are we not looking closer at the agenda of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation?
What we are seeing with all the Covid-19 hype and hysteria, is a manufactured fear mongered crisis, and it is being promoted by Dr.Fauci.
The deaths from Covid-19 are so small, especially compared to other diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and even medical malpractice. Why is Covid-19 creating such a freakout?
We have public health policy being hyped by Fauci to create economic benefit for some, to the detriment of the American people. We have millions out of work, and people are quarantined in their homes thinking this one size fits all model is the right thing to do.
News Flash: we have something called an immune system. When a pathogen like Covid-19 enters the system, the body builds antibodies that attack it, and eventually build up an immunity. Viruses enter the body all the time, there are millions of viruses in us right now, and the body does what it does–the body adjusts, moves to normalcy, and you get stronger. The only people that may not survive are those with compromised immune systems. As a note, the larger the pool of immunocompromised people, the larger the profits for pharma.
So, who will really profit from all this hysteria? Certainly not ordinary Americans. The real winner is already China. A virus they unleashed in their country has decimated the US economy. Meanwhile, their economy, which already controls manufacturing, as well as logistics, will only grow stronger. Here, as businesses and people go bankrupt, Chinese investors, as they have done before, will use vast reserves of US dollars to buy US assets for pennies on the dollar.
The US economy was growing at over 2%, now, thanks to the Chinese virus, we are heading close to -3%.
So yes, we are at war. An economic and psychological war.
All of you who are afraid, sitting at home with a stupid surgical mask on, realize all of your fear is being driven by fake science.
A closer look at the CDC and WHO, that work very closely together, you will find the former director-general of the WHO was a member of the Chinese Communist Party, and current director, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has very close ties with China. These are the people that are pushing the hype, however, Dr. Fauci is the one man that has somehow convinced an entire country that unless we take these draconian measures, this virus is going to kill millions.
That is just not true. Fauci has never once talked about healthy and resilient immune systems, ways to make them stronger. He never mentions that there are cheap ways to take control of and make robust your immune system. Vitamin D, A, and C are the most fundamental, all found in sunlight, leafy greens, and fruits. This is nothing new, it’s all in the literature. Yet we hear about nothing but fear and death.
Why are cheap cures like zinc and the drug chloroquine, an anti-malaria pill that was first approved in the US in 1949, not being used? Maybe because there is no patent, and no real money to be made from it?
What is the wait? Is the plan to just wait until we are so afraid, so worn down from being locked up in our homes, that we will agree to anything? Go ahead, do whatever you have to, give me all the vaccines, I don’t care what’s in them, put a chip in me even. Just let me out!
Do not be surprised if in the near future, to obtain your DMV license, part of that will be predicated on being vaccinated for coronavirus. This will not be serving the US government, but only external entities like Chan Zuckerberg, the Clinton Global Initiative, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. And this is not some deep state conspiracy, these are real entities with real agendas that they have been very clear about stating. And Fauci is laying the groundwork for them.
If Fauci, the CDC, NIH, and WHO would tell the truth about how strong our immune systems actually are, instead of lying to us, this shutdown would end right now and we would all be back to doing what Americans do best–creating, working, and building.
Instead, here we are, back to quantitative easing, as the Obama model; that is making everyone dependent on a method of running an economy that has nothing to do with market fundamentals and core foundations.
All of this fear-mongering, shutting down the economy is based on fear, and pushed by fake science. None of what they are telling you is true.
Now, you must take control of your own health, and stop bowing to fear. You can no longer trust the medical establishment and their buddies Pharma…they want you to be sick, to be immunocompromised. Fauci is doing their bidding because he wants you to be scared, he wants Trump to be scared. In a few months, it will be government-mandated top-down medicine, all done for the bidding of Big Pharma and other powerful entities.
Does that sound like America?
Paul Plante says
America?
Hmmmmm …
I actually remember reading something about some mystical place called “America,” but that is a long time ago, now, and I can’t remember much about it, other than it was either in a science fiction novel or a fantasy novel.
From the little I can recall, this don’t sound like what used to be called “America,” at all.
This is more like something out of a history book – “The History of Uganda During the Reign of Idi Amin,” or “The Soviet Union During the Reign of Jo9e Stalin,” or “Haiti During the Reign of ‘Pa Pa Doc’ Duvalier,” or that historical classic “Germany During the Reign of Adolph Hitler.”
VA Patriot says
And remember it was JOE BIDEN who said China is not the threat to the USA it is Russia. And didn’t China give JOE and HUNTER Biden 1.5 Billion dollars? Wake up America and be vigilant.
Joseph Francis Corcoran says
You say China gave the Biden’s $ 1.5 billion ? Wasn’t $ 1.5 trillion ?
Sorin Varzaru says
I.am so glad we have the mirror right here in cape Charles to point out to the entire world how we really should be dealing with it. All these countries and medical professionals are insane. This is clearly a world wide conspiracy to make money from vaccines. They just need more time to make sure that these vaccines also cause autism, like the others, then it’s going to be all out forced vaccinations.
Note: Aren’t you late for the climate change rally with Greta? Oh, wait that was last month’s crisis we are waiting for the “professionals” to address, sorry.
Paul Plante says
Sorin, dude, what it is?
And let me say what a distinct pleasure it is to have your voice back in the conversation, what with you having actually lived in a real third-world socialist ****hole with a thug-like dictator in charge, so that we can use you as a fact witness to tell us how our third-world socialist ****hole compares with the one you have real-world experience with.
Are we now more of a ****hole police state than was Rumania, or do we still have to go some more distance down to surpass them, do you think?
As to China, that story begins back in the 1940s, actually, when both Chiang Kai-Shek, a corrupt warlord we were supporting, and Mao Tse-Tung were battling each other and the Japanese.
When we backed the corrupt thug Chiang over Mao’s crowd, we set in motion every single thing that has happened between the two nations, starting with Chairman Mao sending his troops across the Yalu into Korea to get them blooded against a superior fighting force represented by the Marines, and thereby, to establish China as a world-class military force to be reckoned with, which history is well documented in China Crosses the Yalu: The Decision to Enter the Korean War by Allen S. Whiting, as well as The Coldest Winter by David Halberstam and the classic This Kind of War by T.R. Fehrenbach.
Having fought against U.S. Marines in Korea, there was no more kow-towing to The West, after that, and that brings us to today.
So, why on earth do we have anything to do with the Chinese, who conspired with Trump to keep America white by inventing COVID to kill of black people who vote the straight Democrat ticket?
Asking google the question “When did US trade with China start?” the answer we get is as follows:
1979
The U.S. trade with China is part of a complex economic relationship.
In 1979 the U.S. and China reestablished diplomatic relations and signed a bilateral trade agreement.
This gave a start to a rapid growth of trade between the two nations: from $4 billion (exports and imports) that year to over $600 billion in 2017.
In 1979, the United States president was Democrat peanut farmer president Jimmy Carter.
The Council on Foreign Relations has a well-documented historical timeline from 1949 to 2020 on their website where they tell us “Since 1949, U.S.-China relations have evolved from tense standoffs to a complex mix of intensifying diplomacy, growing international rivalry, and increasingly intertwined economies.”
The U.S. Library of Congress has a website on U.S. Trade with China: Selected Resources wherein is stated “This publication provides a brief overview and a selective guide to resources on U.S. trade with China.”
“The resources included address the trade situation between the two countries.”
https://guides.loc.gov/us-trade-with-china
And in 2000, Hillary Clinton’s husband Bill signed the U.S.–China Relations Act of 2000, an Act of the United States Congress that granted China permanent normal trade relations (NTR) status (previously called most favoured nation (MFN)) when China becomes a full member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), ending annual review and approval of NTR.
The Act also establishes a Congressional-Executive Commission to ensure that China complies with internationally recognized human rights laws, meets labor standards and allows religious freedom, and establishes a task force to prohibit the importation of Chinese products that were made in forced labor camps or prisons.
Actually, when she was Hussein Obama’s secretary of state, Bill Clinton’s wife Hillary made a hollow mockery of that part of the law wrt human rights.
Getting back to that hollow law, the Act also includes so-called “anti-dumping” measures designed to prevent an influx of inexpensive Chinese goods into the United States that might hurt American industries making the same goods.
It allows new duties and restrictions on Chinese imports that “threaten to cause market disruption to the U.S. producers of a like or directly competitive product.”
Prior to passage of the bill, China was subject to an annual review by Congress of China’s trade status with the United States.
Since 1980, the president has had to issue annual waivers to trade with China.
The act removed the review, eased some trade barriers, and facilitated China’s entry into the WTO.
China became a member of WTO on December 11, 2001, and its permanent normal trade relations status with the US was made permanent on December 27, 2001.
So having gotten our own selves here by our own machinations, what the **** is all the whining about how unfair China is all about?
If the Chinese now have us by the balls, who was it that put the hand there in the pocket in the first place?
OH, RIGHT IT WAS US!
People like myself who were alive back then and didn’t have our heads jammed up our asses saw that **** coming a long way back.
And now we are here.
So, tell us, Sorin, are we now a bigger ****hole than was Rumania?
Sorin Varzaru says
I’m sure there is a point somewhere in there Paul, but I’m not sure what it is. It’s certainly unrelated to my comment. Since I already made the point I was trying to make, I have nothing else to say.
Stuart Bell says
Good!
Paul Plante says
Whether or not all of them are insane or not insane is something we can’t deal with rationally right now, Sorin, not having sufficient data on which to base a decision, so there is little sense in speculating as to whether any of them might be sane, and frankly, from my own readings of what the real scientists are saying, as opposed to the stream of political bull**** pouring out of the main-stream media in a steady stream as they keep hyping how many people have died of COVID, when the fact of the matter, as we see from a medical news article entitled “How does COVID-19 kill? Uncertainty is hampering doctors’ ability to choose treatments – Doctors are reaching for drugs that dampen the immune response — but these also undermine the body’s own fight against the coronavirus” by Heidi Ledford on 09 April 2020, it may well be the exuberant immune systems of the people themselves that are killing them, to wit:
Clinical data suggest that the immune system plays a part in the decline and death of people infected with the new coronavirus, and this has spurred a push for treatments such as steroids that rein in that immune response.
But some of these treatments act broadly to suppress the immune system, stoking fears that they could actually hamper the body’s ability to keep the viral infection in check.

So, does COVID really kill people, Sorin?
What I myself am focusing my attention on, given the fact that here to the north of you, we are truly living in a third-world socialist dictatorial ****hole like your home town of Rumania, is the decisions our own Nicolae Ceaușescu, that being Democratic Socialist governor of New York Andy Cuomo, a hack lawyer who thinks he is the world’s leading expert on virology and epidemiology and the proper treatment of COVID, and being from Rumania, Sorin, you alone in here can appreciate the type, has been making with respect to causing deaths and the spread of COVID, partly by ordering by people with COVID put on BIPAP machines in positive pressure rooms, so that the aerosolized virus particles emitted by the BIPAP machine can infect the whole hospital.
Reminds me of those mill buildings in Manchester, New Hampshire that are sealed up because they are filled with anthrax spores.
You must remember that, Sorin, the Arms Mill Outbreak of 1957.
Big news when I was young, and it probably was in Rumania, as well, I would think.
60 years ago, as you will recall, Sorin, workers inside a New Hampshire textile mill began getting sick with a mysterious illness.
Over a ten week period, four of these mill workers would die, sparking a massive public health investigation.
end quotes
That was back in the days before we became a third-world ****hole with a fourth rate public health system which let this COVID in to ravage the nation today.
Getting back to that tragedy, the incident was eventually traced to an outbreak of anthrax bacteria hidden inside a shipment of goat hair.
Antonio Jette was a devout Catholic, father of seven, and employee at the Arms Textile Mill in Manchester, New Hampshire.
He rarely took vacations, but in September of 1957, he and his wife Anna drove to Rutland, Vermont to the state fair.
“They went to go to the fair cause he always wanted to go see the animals,” explains Anita Simonds, now 90, the oldest of the siblings.
But just as he entered the fairgrounds, Jette turned to his wife and told her he needed to sit down.
He was 49 years old and otherwise healthy, but Jette felt overcome by exhaustion.
He had a cough, a fever and no appetite.
The Jettes stayed in Vermont for another night, then returned to their home in Nashua.
On September 5th, he woke up as he usually did for 7am mass.
“At quarter of seven, he used to go by the convent which is right next to the church, and the sisters used to say they set their clock by him everyday,” says Simonds.
After mass, still not feeling well, Jette decided to return home.
He greeted a neighbor along the way.
“He went upstairs, he fell across the bed and when my sister came home at noon, he was unconscious on the bed.”
A doctor came to the house, where Jette was found to have a 103 degree fever.
He received penicillin, and was diagnosed with a severe cold, possibly bronchitis.
But by 4 PM, his condition had further deteriorated, and he was unresponsive.
At 6 PM, he was admitted to St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua with a temperature of 105 degrees, his breathing rapid and shallow.
Doctors flooded him with more antibiotics, while Anita, her mother and her six siblings held a vigil at his bedside.
“And that’s it.”
“He never woke up.”
Antonio Jette died on the morning of September 6th.
Over a ten week period in the fall of 1957, two other men and one woman, all employees of the Arms Textile Mill, would suffer similar fates.
It was the deadliest outbreak of anthrax in the country’s history.
end quotes
As I say, Sorin, I remember that well, and to this day, those mill buildings remain sealed because of that anthrax, and with Andy Cuomo putting COVID patients on BIPAP machines, those hospitals are going to be the same way.
That is what happens when ignorant dictators take over the reins of government and start issuing edicts and decrees about everything under the sun, including health care, and that brings me to “Gov Andrew Cuomo New York COVID-19 Briefing Transcript April 6,” on the subject of the medications Doctor Andy is ordering people to be put on, to wit:
Gov. Andrew Cuomo: And we are still New York Tough.
And New York Tough means tough.
But, tough in a New York sense also means compassionate.
It means that we are unified.
It means that we are loving because if you’re really tough … the really tough guys, they’re tough enough to show love.
And because we’re smart and that’s how we’re going to get through this.
Questions?
Speaker 1: How is the drug trial of a hydroxychlorine and chlorine going?
Gov. Andrew Cuomo: We’ve allowed usage of the hydroxychloroquine with the Azithromycin packs … pack in hospitals.
At their discretion.
The federal government is going to increase the supply to New York pharmacies.
We had a 14 day limit on how much you could buy because so many people were trying to buy it.
If the federal government increases the supply to New York, which they say they’re going to do, then we could lift the 14 day limit.
There are a lot of people who are relying on this, who were relying on it, people with lupus, et cetera.
The tests in the hospital, they won’t say that they are … there too shorter period of time to get a scientific report.
Hospital administrators, doctors want to give, have a significant data set before they give a formal opinion.
Anecdotally, you’ll get suggestions that it has been effective, but we don’t have any official data yet from a hospital or a quote unquote, “Study.”
Which will take weeks if not months before you get an official study.
Is that a fair statement?
Speaker 2: So, promising, but not conclusive, it sounds like.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo: On which?
Speaker 2: On that that type of treatment in hospitals.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo: Yeah.
There has been anecdotal evidence that it is promising.
That’s why we’re going ahead.
Doctors have to prescribe, but there are some people who have preexisting conditions where it doesn’t work or they’re taking medication that’s not consistent with this treatment.
But, anecdotally it’s been positive.
We’ll have a full test once they have a large enough sample and data set, Jesse.
But, anecdotally it’s been positive.
And if we get an additional supply we can, which the federal government says they’re going to send, I’m going to mention it to the president actually when I call him this afternoon, with the comfort, I’m going to make a note right now, if they increase the supply, we can lift the 14 day limit ban.
end quotes
When Doctor Andy speaks of anecdotal evidence concerning the usage of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID, he is referring to a French study which he came across on YouTube, which in turn brings us to an article in The Mercury News entitled “French hydroxychloriquine study called into question by publisher” by Elizabeth Cohen and Dr. Minali Nigam on April 10, 2020, concerning the so-called “anecdotal evidence” Andy Cuomo is relying on when he approved that drug to be used to treat COVID in New York, to wit:
But now the medical society that published the French research has issued a statement saying they’re reviewing the study again and “a correction to the scientific record may be considered.”
Dr. Kevin Tracey, president and CEO of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research in New York City, gave an even more pointed assessment of the French research.
“The study was a complete failure,” he said.
“It was pathetic,” added Art Caplan, head of the division of medical ethics at the New York University School of Medicine.
Tracey and Caplan pointed out that several patients who took the drug, and ended up faring poorly, dropped out of the trial, and their outcomes were not factored into the study’s final conclusions.
The International Society of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy published the study online in its journal, the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, on March 20.
The society and the publisher of the journal, Elsevier, issued a joint statement that “concerns have been raised regarding the content, the ethical approval of the trial and the process that this paper underwent to be published within International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents.”
According to the statement, the study authors had been contacted to address concerns, and that “additional independent peer review is ongoing to ascertain whether concerns about the research content of the paper have merit.”
In its statement, the society that published the paper mentioned concerns about “the lack of better explanations of the inclusion criteria” in the study, which took place at the Méditerrannée Infection University Hospital Institute in Marseille, France.
The study started out with 26 patients taking the hydroxychloroquine, but six were “lost in follow up during the survey because of early cessation of treatment,” according to the study.
Three left because they ended up in the intensive care unit, another patient died, and a fifth stopped treatment due to nausea.
It turned out the sixth patient didn’t actually have coronavirus.
Leaving out the five patients who took the drug and didn’t fare well is “cherry picking,” said Caplan, the bioethicist.
“That’s not science,” he said.
“You’ve got your thumb on the scale.”
The remaining 20 patients took hydroxychloroquine, some with the antibiotic azithromycin and some without, and their outcomes were compared with patients who did not take either drug.
The study authors wrote that “100%” of patients who took the drug combination were “virologically cured” compared to 57.1% of the patients who took hydroxychloroquine alone and 12.5% of the control group.
The authors did not fully explain what they meant by “virologically cured.”
Caplan added that even without the “cherry picking” issue, a study with such a small number of patients is basically meaningless.
“It’s just a jumbled mess,” he said.
end quotes
And yet, a jumbled mess is what is driving the COVID response in New York state, which takes us in turn to an Albany, New York Times Union article entitled “Why have deaths in New York soared above other states?” by Anne Snabes and Chris Bragg on April 11, 2020, where the following rhetorical question is raised, to wit:
Cuomo has received widespread praise and attention for his calm, commanding daily press briefings, which are viewed as reassuring by many across the country and are often contrasted with the statements made by President Donald J. Trump at his daily appearances.
But the praise has dampened in recent days as it’s become clear that — at least so far — the crisis has hit New York much harder than anywhere in the country.
How much responsibility lies with elected officials such as Cuomo, Trump and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio remains a point of contention.
end quotes
First off, as we can see with Cuomo’s reliance on that bogus French study, anyone relying on Andy Cuomo for medical advice has got to be an empty-headed moron.
Andy Cuomo is a hack lawyer who doesn’t know doodly-squat about medicine or public health, but such is the ignorance of his mindless, fawning, adoring, sycophantic followers, that they accept every word of his as the gospel truth, even if it puts their life in jeopardy, like drinking Jonestown Kool-Aid.
And secondly, who is responsible is Cuomo.
Trump has absolutely no responsibility for public health protection in New York state, afterall.
And thanks for going out of your way, Sorin, to bring all of that up for some much-needed public discussion.
Karen Gay says
Thanks, Wayne for putting this all together. I am very familiar with the Children’s Health Defense article outlining the corruption from Bill Gates to the WHO. It is a travesty that all of our mainstream media (all of them!) are dependent on the pharmaceutical companies for advertising money and the articles they produce are aimed at making people fearful so they rely on advice from the most corrupt people who unfortunately are running our CDC and FDA. I am not saying people should discount everything we are told, nor should we (for now) disobey instructions to remain physically distant from others. However, reading the independent media is very eye-opening and leads one to better critical thinking. If people are holding out for a vaccine to an ever-mutating virus, and feel that this is the magic bullet that will make everyone safe, then this is what the media and Pharma is aiming for. There are big dollars involved with this new type of mRNA vaccine and skipping animal testing and providing indemnification (immunity from prosecution, as requested by Bill Gates) ought to open eyes. However, I fear it will not. We have all been taught in elementary school that all vaccines are safe and effective. I read scientific studies and the reality is very different. Questions that would be prudent to ask before getting the CV or any other vaccine are: 1. What’s in it; 2. Where do the ingredients come from; How long were the clinical trials; 3. What was in the placebo it was tested against?; 4. If I am injured, what recourse do I have? If your doctor can’t answer any of these questions, this is where critical thinking is important!

Karen, Are referencing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s article here: https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/government-corruption/gates-globalist-vaccine-agenda-a-win-win-for-pharma-and-mandatory-vaccination/
For those who don’t want to go to the site, below are some excerpts. Like any medicines, some vaccines are good, and others are not as we see below. Likewise, some philanthropists are genuine, and others use the title cynically to advance their own self-interests. One should always have the facts and use the critical thinking skill of discernment to make up one’s own mind. Let the facts below fall where they may on your spectrum.
From the article:
Vaccines, for Bill Gates, are a strategic philanthropy that feed his many vaccine-related businesses (including Microsoft’s ambition to control a global vaccination ID enterprise) and give him dictatorial control of global health policy.
Promising his share of $450 million of $1.2 billion to eradicate polio, Gates took control of India’s National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (NTAGI), which mandated up to 50 doses (Table 1) of polio vaccines through overlapping immunization programs to children before the age of five. Indian doctors blame the Gates campaign for a devastating non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP) epidemic that paralyzed 490,000 children beyond expected rates between 2000 and 2017. In 2017, the Indian government dialed back Gates’ vaccine regimen and asked Gates and his vaccine policies to leave India. NPAFP rates dropped precipitously.

Gates’ Globalist Vaccine Agenda: A Win-Win for Pharma and Mandatory Vaccination
By Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Chairman, Children’s Health Defense
Vaccines, for Bill Gates, are a strategic philanthropy that feed his many vaccine-related businesses (including Microsoft’s ambition to control a global vaccination ID enterprise) and give him dictatorial control of global health policy.
Gates’ obsession with vaccines seems to be fueled by a conviction to save the world with technology.
Promising his share of $450 million of $1.2 billion to eradicate polio, Gates took control of India’s National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (NTAGI), which mandated up to 50 doses (Table 1) of polio vaccines through overlapping immunization programs to children before the age of five. Indian doctors blame the Gates campaign for a devastating non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP) epidemic that paralyzed 490,000 children beyond expected rates between 2000 and 2017. In 2017, the Indian government dialed back Gates’ vaccine regimen and asked Gates and his vaccine policies to leave India. NPAFP rates dropped precipitously.
In 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO) reluctantly admitted that the global explosion in polio is predominantly vaccine strain. The most frightening epidemics in Congo, Afghanistan, and the Philippines, are all linked to vaccines. In fact, by 2018, 70% of global polio cases were vaccine strain.
In 2014, the Gates Foundation funded tests of experimental HPV vaccines, developed by Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK) and Merck, on 23,000 young girls in remote Indian provinces. Approximately 1,200 suffered severe side effects, including autoimmune and fertility disorders. Seven died. Indian government investigations charged that Gates-funded researchers committed pervasive ethical violations: pressuring vulnerable village girls into the trial, bullying parents, forging consent forms, and refusing medical care to the injured girls. The case is now in the country’s Supreme Court.
During Gates’ 2002 MenAfriVac campaign in Sub-Saharan Africa, Gates’ operatives forcibly vaccinated thousands of African children against meningitis. Approximately 50 of the 500 children vaccinated developed paralysis. South African newspapers complained, “We are guinea pigs for the drug makers.” Nelson Mandela’s former senior economist, Professor Patrick Bond, describes Gates’ philanthropic practices as “ruthless and immoral.”
Karen Gay says
Hello Capybara, yes, this was the article I was referencing. I read mainstream reports from the CDC, FDA and others as well as opposing points of view. I find the Children’s Health Defense quite credible as they provide all of the sourcing links to verify they are reporting correctly. Of course the sourcing documents could be inaccurate, but over time I’ve seen patterns to conclude that the CDC has too many conflicts of interest to be honest. High level CDC/FDA employees leave to go work for vaccine companies (Julie Gerberding left to head up the Merck vaccine division, as an example) and vice versa, and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) (this is the board which decides vaccines to be recommended) is stacked with industry insiders who overlook safety issues, and worst of all, Health and Human Services is tasked with rolling out vaccine programs as well as handling safety issues and paying parents for injuries (well over $4 billion paid out since 1987). FOIA requests discovered the while the CDC was mandated to report to Congress every two years on safety advances, they never did this once.
I’ve been studying vaccines since several years ago I saw that there was a lot of division over the issue and several of my acquaintances thought that vaccines had injured their children. I wanted to know why and how. The more I read, the more I realized that there are agendas all over the place and we must dig deeper to find our truth.
And let me say that while I appreciate your post, Capybara, I believe that people should have the courage of their convictions and use their real names.
Sorin Varzaru says
I’m really glad that there is an outlet where all these global conspiracies are … revealed. I definitely suggest to the posters to refrain from using vaccines , antibiotics and whatver else you are concerned about and let nature (prayer also seems popular) take it’s course. That’s how evolution works.
Note: We understand they are looking for non-essential, non-contributing members of society for clinical trials. Maybe you should give them a call?
Karen Gay says
Hi Sorin, everything that I say above can be verified, but you’d need to expend some effort to do it. I’m guessing that you won’t because you believe everything you read, it seems.
So, a superficial read of the CDC website should comfort you. Frankly, it alarms me with what’s not there. Here’s an example that you can research, unless you’re only interested in controversy. You can easily find on the CDC website a statement that they are investigating vaccines for viruses and retroviruses. Here is the link. https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/biologics-research-projects/investigating-viruses-cells-used-make-vaccines-and-evaluating-potential-threat-posed-transmission This seems great! Thank goodness they’re checking.
Now the reality …. In the 1950s I lined up in elementary school to get my polio sugar cube vaccine. Unbeknownst to everyone, this vaccine contained the SV-40 virus from monkey cells that the polio was grown in. This virus was passed on to me and to 98 million other people. This study (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10472327/) indicated increased rates of ependymomas (37%), osteogenic sarcomas (26%), other bone tumors (34%) and
mesothelioma (90%) among those in the exposed as compared to the unexposed birth cohort. I and 98 million other people are more susceptible to cancer because of this vaccine.
Now, let’s go back to the CDC website. They’ve been producing vaccines for well over 60 years and now they are just investigating? I’d like to know exactly how they are investigating, and what viruses they found in all of the animal and human fetal tissue they used to grow their antigens. Wouldn’t you want to know this? I am not anti-vaccine, but I believe they should be safe.
If we chose not to question anyone in authority we’ll end up with institutions that are more corrupt than we already have. I traveled through Eastern European countries in the 1970s and saw firsthand how those who could not question ended up. I am profoundly grateful that I can write what I research without official repercussions.
tokenny says
Hey Karen what happens if you find the exact opposite information that doesn’t support your theory – what do you do then???
Here’s a link https://www.chop.edu/centers-programs/vaccine-education-center/vaccine-ingredients/sv40 and at the bottom it has all it’s references.
It says: “Polio vaccines used in the late 1950s and early 1960s were contaminated with a virus called simian virus 40 (SV40) present in monkey kidney cells used to grow the vaccine. Subsequently, investigators found SV40 DNA in biopsy specimens obtained from patients with cancers such as mesothelioma (lung), osteosarcoma (bone) and non-Hodgkins lymphoma (lymph nodes). However, several facts should be noted:
SV40 was present in cancers of people who either had or had not received the polio vaccines that were contaminated with SV40.
SV40 has not been present in any vaccine since 1963.
People with cancers who were born after SV40 was no longer a contaminant of the polio vaccine were found to have evidence for SV40 in their cancerous cells.
Epidemiologic studies do not show an increased risk of cancers in those who received polio vaccine between 1955 and 1963.
Taken together, these findings do not support the hypothesis that SV40 virus contained in polio vaccines administered before 1963 cause cancers. In addition, available evidence suggests that SV40 virus is likely be transmitted to people by a mechanism other than vaccines.
Just because you find one study – doesn’t make it true.
Karen Gay says
Hi, tokenney, you wanted to know what I do when I find evidence that contradicts a hypothesis….. I go back and review the data. If I am wrong, I’ll say so. That said, when I searched Pub Med I discovered over 13,000 references to SV40. A quick search found both pros and cons. Here’s a study from 2020 in which the abstract states “Together this evidence suggests that SV40 may contribute to the development of mesotheliomas in humans. However, epidemiological evidence to support this hypothesis is lacking.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32206570. The latest study from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is from 2004. It appears that there is general confusion on the issue. It’s not surprising that SV40 virus is found in not just those who took the polio vaccine. As we are learning these days, viruses pass from person to person quite easily.
Now a word on the doctor who did the research on SV40 for the hospital. Dr. Paul Offit is quite famous for his championing of mandatory vaccines for all and for his collaboration with Merck in the development of the Rotavirus vaccine. He is the Director of Vaccine Education Center at the hospital now but in the past he was one of the original members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the CDC board that approves vaccines for adult and childhood schedules. Part of his fame stems from the Majority Staff Report from the Committee on Government Reform in the U.S. House of Representatives. This report from 2000 was entitled “Conflicts of Interest in Vaccine Policy Making” and detailed how after he and Merck had developed their version of the Rotavirus vaccine in the ACIP committee meetings Offit voted yes three times on Rotavirus issues for which he had a clear conflict of interest.
You would think science of all things would be cut and dried, but it is full of intrigue, jealousy and backstabbing.
tokenny says
Karen, this is becoming fun. The second article you referenced from Pubmed, has 3 contributors, one of which is on the original study you referenced. So this 2nd article in support of the first is invalid.
As far as your view on Dr Offit, your view seems to be if I’m an expert in my field then I must be suspect. I would think that anyone in the vaccine world would have some ties to drug companies.
Polio was almost wiped off the face of the world but we have people like you to “thank” for it sticking around. It has nothing to do with science. It’s all about “Big” must be bad, incomplete or bad studies supporting minority views and conspiracy theories. If you were being honest and stacked the negative studies against the positive, the positive studies would far outweigh the negative. The conspiracist would probably point out that a good bit of the positive studies are supported by pharma. My response would be … um, yeah who else would sponsor the study – Dairy Farmers???
Karen Gay says
Hoo boy, tokenny, you’re determined to prove me wrong about everything! I am enjoying the repartee also, I only wish you had the courage of your convictions to tell us who you are. You are right, (see, I said it), that the author of the second study I mentioned is indeed the same author of some studies mentioned by the CHP. However, this study concluded “Together this evidence suggests that SV40 may contribute to the development of mesotheliomas in humans. However, epidemiological evidence to support this hypothesis is lacking.” You can see that the authors say that SV40 may cause cancer. Dr. Offit chose to take the route of “no epidemiological studies” to discount the idea of SV40 contributing to cancer (in other words, ignorance) rather than accept the doubt plainly articulated in this study. I’ve chosen to accept the possible contribution of SV40 to cancer. Both approaches are supported by this article.
Now you bring up a good point about experts. I do not discount all so-called experts. There are plenty of them who do not support the idea of forced vaccinations for all. Pediatricians Dr. Bob Sears and Dr. Paul Thomas have written books about a better and slower way to vaccinate people. They’ve seen vaccine injuries in their practices and recognize that not all two children are the same. They’ve worked out less extreme ways to get kids vaccinated than recommended by the CDC. These experts and many others are routinely attacked by the media when they are trying to reduce injury. If you were a parent, wouldn’t you want a doctor to look at your child individually, especially if he or she developed encephalitis after the last round of vaccines? And before you say that rarely happens, just take a look at the vaccine insert for the ENGERIX B Hepatitis B vaccine recommended by the CDC for all infants on day one of their lives. https://www.fda.gov/media/119403/download
1. Hepatitis B is a virus which is passed from one sexual partner to another, or by drug users sharing needles. Why does an infant need this vaccine?
2. Section 6.1 states they tested 5,071 children (13,495 doses) for 4 days. There are less than 4 million children born each year. If a child in the study died on day five, all is good and this is not included in the trial.
3. Section 6.1 continues with the innocuous reactions that accumulated during the 4 day period.
4. Section 6.2 lists post marketing reactions that have been reported after the virtually untested vaccine was released to the public. Some of the adverse event are: meningitis, anaphylaxis, encephalitis, encephalopathy, multiple sclerosis, seizures, and transverse myelitis. But because parents reported these symptoms they are discounted.
5. Section 13.1 states “ENGERIX-B has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or for impairment of male fertility in animals.”
The FDA material I reference above is why there are more and more educated people skeptical of vaccine safety. Educated people read labels and then they think.
Again you state propaganda when you say that polio was wiped off the face of the earth. Unfortunately the polio vaccine is causing more cases than the wild type virus. https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2019/11/25/health/ap-af-med-africa-polio.html
https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/new-oral-polio-vaccine-to-bypass-key-clinical-trials-66859
No issue is all one way or another. You seem to be trying to prove that my perspective is one-sided and without evidence. I’ve stated plenty of mainstream sources for reasons to be educated and cautious about what we put in our bodies. As far as I’m concerned, the perspective “vaccines are all good” is what we hear in the mainstream press. This is not the case and anyone with children should exercise caveat emptor with vaccines as well as any other product they consume.
Paul Plante says
tokenny, dude, we know you are generally over-emotional in the best of times, but here, your stress level has you reaching ever higher levels of being shrill and hysterical which has you sounding, frankly, like you are going insane.
I have no dog in this hunt, as they say, having been inoculated for all kinds of **** before going to VEET NAM, and having grown up with quarantines, and friends afflicted with polio, and pictures of kids in iron lungs on cards we would put a dime a week in to fund a polio vaccine which I took somewhere back then when I was young.
So I am unclear as to where on earth, or heaven, for that matter, to be all-inclusive here as to your sources, did you come up with this preposterous idea that Karen Gay wants to bring back polio in the world?
For those too young to remember, the first major polio epidemic in the United States occurred in 1916 and reached its peak in 1952.
Of the 57,628 reported cases, there were 3,145 deaths.
Three years later, Dr. Jonas Salk developed a vaccine.
By 1962, the average number of cases dropped to 910.
The CDC reports that the United States has been polio-free since 1979.
The American polio epidemic of 1916 started in New York City and caused 27,000 cases and 6,000 deaths in the United States.
The disease mainly affects children and sometimes leaves survivors with permanent disabilities, such as my friend who had a shriveled leg.
Polio epidemics occurred sporadically in the United States until the Salk vaccine was developed in 1954.
As the vaccine became widely available, cases in the United States declined.
The last polio case in the United States was reported in 1979.
Worldwide vaccination efforts have greatly reduced the disease, although it is not yet completely eradicated.
I’m missing where that is any fault of Karen Gay’s?
And surely, tokenny, and here I am making reference to Medical Microbiology. 4th edition by Gary R. Klimpel, a text I am sure you know quite well from your own considerable training in the subject, in Chapter 50 Immune Defenses, where we were all told as follows, to wit:
The location of the virus in the host is important not only for understanding the immune response, but also for developing and administering a vaccine.
end quotes
That, tokenny, is as basic as basic can get with this subject, as I am sure you would have to agree.
So, with that basic bottom line established, as it were, let’s go back to the science, as follows:
For example, local infections on surfaces such as the mucosa of the respiratory or gastrointestinal tract may elicit local cell-mediated and humoral (IgA) immune responses, but not necessarily systemic immunity.
end quotes
That, of course, is directly relevant to this subject of COVID and how it is that COVID seems to be evading or defeating those immune responses, but that is for another day, because right now, it is polio vaccine we are interested in, so let’s go back to the science once again, as follows:
The reverse is also true: systemic immunity does not always lead to local mucosal immunity.
For example, the Salk polio vaccine, which consists of killed virus administered systemically, elicits serum IgG as the major antibody and induces little or no secretory response.
As a result, the immunized individual resists systemic infection, but may become a temporary carrier, with virus persisting at the intestinal portal of entry because of the lack of secretory antibody.
The orally administered, live Sabin polio vaccine, on the other hand, induces secretory antibody in the intestine and is effective in preventing replication and subsequent mucosal penetration by the virus.
end quotes
Whether or not that relates to the concerns Karen Gay might have about the vaccines, that is what the science has to say on the subject.
And I’m always happy to stop by and help you out on these things as a fellow American.
Paul Plante says
Interestingly, Sorin himself is from a repressive Eastern European ****hole, so he should know first hand exactly what you are saying.
And while we are on that subject, as to COVID, as of 14 April 2020, Romania, the Eastern European ****hole in question, had 6,879 Covid-19 cases on Tuesday, April 14 (at 13:00), the Strategic Communication Group with the Interior Affairs Ministry announced.
A total of 246 new cases were reported in the past 24 hours, since the last official report.
Of the confirmed cases, 1,051 people were declared cured and were discharged from the hospital.
At the same time, 346 Covid-19 patients died after contracting the novel coronavirus.
A total of 241 patients are currently admitted to intensive care units.
end quotes
So Romania is doing far better with respect to COVID than is the third-world ****hole of New York under Andy Cuomo.
Blue Hoss says
If the government announced cattle cars are ready to transport people to ‘Virus Protection Camps’ the sheeple would line up for it.

Dem’s Mantra: You need our protection. We know what is best for you. Obey your governor.
Good Sheep.
Paul Plante says
If one were to drop back in time, Hoss, as we country folks are doing up to the north of you in SUPER-MAX GULAG NEW YORK, where we are on constant lock-down except for being allowed out in the yard periodically for solitary exercise, and where we are amusing ourselves by watching re-runs of the Cape Charles Mirror, to July 24, 2016, and the thread “On Alleged Progressivism In America in 2016,” http://www.capecharlesmirror.com/news/paul-plante-on-alleged-progressivism-in-america/ one would come across the following statement, to wit:
In the name of “progressivism,” which it most assuredly is not, if brought into power in this up-coming presidential election, the Democratic Party in the United States of America intends to impose on these United States of America a tyranny not seen in this land since the time of the tyranny of King George III back in 1776, a tyranny similar to that now on-going in Turkey under Erdogan where Turkish society is being “purged” of Gulenist elements.
end quotes
That was four years ago now, and as we all remember, come November of that year, Trump defeated Hillary Clinton and threw a monkey wrench into those plans,
And here we are now, four years later and we are living in a police state here to the north of you where the person who swore an oath stating “I do solemnly affirm that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the position of governor according to the best of my ability and perform my duties in a manner consistent with the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of New York” has abrogated that oath by abolishing the New York State Constitution and declaring himself our dictator.
And not a peep, Hoss, not a peep, at all, especially from the media which fawns on Andy Cuomo as their MESSIAH.
And notwithstanding that §13 of ARTICLE III of our Constitution, titled Legislature, states in clear and unequivocal language that “(T)he enacting clause of all bills shall be ‘The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows,’ and no law shall be enacted except by bill,” we are in fact no longer represented in Senate and Assembly, and Andy himself is enacting laws without bills, having done away withy the legislature, which is what a tyrant dictator does in a third-world repressive socialist ****hole like Iraq under Saddam Hussein or Syria under Basher Assad.
And not a peep, Hoss, not a peep, at all.
I think the French actually managed to hold out for three days before they fell to Nazi tyranny.
We didn’t even last three minutes.
And as we saw with Saddam, once a dictator has absolute power over a people, there is nothing that can make him relinquish it, as we are seeing with Cuomo and his endless series of EDICTS.
By the way, Hoss, the word up this way on the news was that over the weekend, Ralph Northam signed a flurry of new laws.
What do you think that was all about?
Are you now living in a tyrannical police state too, where by decree, your governor can declare your Constitutio0n dead, and your laws null and void?
Paul Plante says
Anyone who has been reading the Cape Charles Mirror for content and the mood of the nation since 2016, before the November 2016 presidential election where Democrat Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump, and leading up to the November election and everything that was to follow, which brings us in an unbroken line to today, cannot say with any truthfulness that they didn’t see this police state we are now living in coming, where governors like Andy Cuomo of New York, and perhaps Ralph Northam of Virginia, have been transformed into tyrants in the mold of George III of England in 1776.
In support of that statement, I would simply take us back to the August 28, 2016 edition of the Cape Charles Mirror and the thread entitled “On the now-vanished Virginia Constitution and what that should mean to all of us” http://www.capecharlesmirror.com/news/paul-plante-on-the-now-vanished-virginia-constitution-and-what-that-should-mean-to-all-of-us/ where was stated as follows:
In recent commentary in the Cape Charles Mirror, I made reference to a thoughtful, well-researched, well-reasoned and scholarly essay from the University of Richmond Law Review entitled “A VANISHING VIRGINIA CONSTITUTION?” by The Honorable Stephen R. McCullough, Judge, Court of Appeals of Virginia wherein these three issues were raised by Judge McCullough in his capacity as a loyal citizen of the Commonwealth of Virginia, to wit:
1) The Constitution is the fundamental law of Virginia;
2) It is the charter by which our people have consented to be governed; it sets forth the basic rights and principles sought to be maintained and preserved in a free society; and
3) In recent decades, however, the most fundamental rights protected for Virginians by the Virginia Constitution have been, for all practical purposes, steadily vanishing.
end quotes
2016, Hoss, just four years ago – the Constitution was the fundamental law of Virginia, and it was the charter by which the people of the Commonwealth of Virginia, yourself, Wayne Creed, Stuart Bell, Slide Easy, consented to be governed, with it setting forth the basic rights and principles sought to be maintained and preserved in a free society!
And four short years later, society is free no more!
Locked down as if America were a police state, which is what it has become.
Getting back to that CCM thread from 2016:
Subsequent thereto, as the lawyers are wont to say, in a Good Morning America article entitled “Va. Gov. Terry McAuliffe Restores Voting Rights of Felons” by Margaret Chadbourn on 22 August 2016, we, the people, and the candid world, as well, were informed of recent political actions taken by Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, a self-proclaimed rabid partisan of Democrat presidential contender Hillary Rodham Clinton, and statements made, as follows:
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe today restored voting rights to 13,000 felons, circumventing a court ruling and defying objections to his earlier attempts from Republican legislators.
“We’re not going to waste any time about arguing about the old Virginia way,” McAuliffe, a Democrat, said while making the announcement at the Civil Rights Memorial on Capitol Square in Richmond.
“Let me put this in plain English: We will proceed,” he said.
end quote
“We’re not going to waste any time about arguing about the old Virginia way,” McAuliffe, a Democrat, said.
Time to do things a new way, folks, not the way the Constitution and law say, but the way Democrat Terry McAuliffe, a rabid Hillary Clinton, dictates instead, which is Rule of Man, not Rule of Law as is supposed to be guaranteed to the people of Virginia by the Virginia Constitution Democrat Governor Terry McAuliffe appears to have just forsaken in seeming contempt of Virginia Law 98, A Bill Prescribing the Oath of Fidelity, and the Oaths of Certain Public Officers, 18 June 1779, wherein the oath of office of the Virginia Governor, in this case Democrat and Hillary partisan Terry McAuliffe is stated as follows:
“I, (name), elected Governor of Virginia, by the representatives thereof, do solemly promise and swear, that I will, to the best of my skill and judgment, execute the said office diligently and faithfully, according to law, without favour, affection, or partiality; that I will to the utmost of my power, protect the citizens of the commonwealth in the secure enjoyment of their rights, franchises, and privileges, and will constantly endeavour that the laws and ordinances of the commonwealth be duly observed, and that law and justice, in mercy, be executed in all judgments; and, lastly, that I will peaceably and quietly resign the government, to which I have been elected, at the several periods to which my continuance in the said office is or shall be limited by law, and the constitution.”
“So help me God.”
end quote
For those unfamiliar with the term, WIKIPEDIA defines “Rule of man” as absence of rule of law, a society in which one person, in this case Democrat Terry McAuliffe, or a group of persons, the Hillary Clinton Campaign, rules arbitrarily.
A society in which the Sovereign, in this case Democrat Terry McAuliffe, exercises absolute authority and is not bound by any law.
In other words, as he appears to be doing when he states above “We’re not going to waste any time about arguing about the old Virginia way,” he as a person now stands outside law.
And his political “out” is right there in front of us in the statement in the Governor’s Oath, “I will, to the best of my skill and judgment, execute the said office diligently and faithfully.”
What Terry McAuliffe is saying, or admitting here, is that he really didn’t have any skill or judgment with which to execute the Office of Virginia Governor diligently and faithfully, and the people of Virginia are now stuck with the result, the loss of their Constitutional protections in Virginia, because they were fool enough to put Democrat Terry McAuliffe in the State House to “protect the citizens of the commonwealth in the secure enjoyment of their rights, franchises, and privileges.”
In other words, “SORRY, SUCKERS, THAT IS WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING STUPID IN THE VOTING BOOTH.”
end quotes
And now, here we are, living in a police state, in fact, which raises the existential question of really, should anyone be surprised that it has come to this?
Did we lose our rights?
Or is it more a case of where we simply handed them away?
As Sallust said: “At the end, only a few preferred liberty; as for the rest, all they wished for was a kind master.”
And now, we are here!

I’m trying to point out to you that your method of “research” isn’t really research and that your bias to vaccines are harmful to society.
I assume you don’t have a PhD in any of the appropriate medical fields pertaining to the studies. I’ll also assume you don’t look at the methodology of the study or read the peer reviews of the study. Therefore your research is really equivalent to purchasing a car based on the color of the vehicle.
All drugs have side effects.

The FDA requires those notations for ENGERIX-B because of our legal system. In your “research” you failed to uncover or just dismissed “child under 5 are are less likely to have symptoms but are at greater risk of developing chronic hepatitis B. On average, symptoms appear 90 days (or three months) after exposure, but they can appear any time between six weeks and six months after exposure.” Though sex and needle sharing are common for teenagers and adults. Childbirth and blood exposure are also dangers for infants, it’s possible for the birth mother to pass the infection onto the baby, which is known as a perinatal infection. I don’t know seems like a valid reason to me that you would vaccinate new borns.
You also seem to be playing a little loose with the insert information. 6.1 Was adults and children, not just children as you stated. There were no deaths, only adverse reactions. Again show me a drug where there isn’t any adverse reactions in some people. 4 days, 5 days, I assume the low number of days for the trial is for a control. Any deaths outside of the 4 day trial would be listed in 6.2 Post Marketing Experience and don’t you think it should be medical personnel reporting that and not parents?
“Section 13.1 states “ENGERIX-B has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or for impairment of male fertility in animals.” Have you looked up ….”has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or for impairment of male fertility in animals.” Do you know what that means? It’s an FDA label requirement that essentialyl says no animal testing has been done – care to kill a couple of bunnies or monkeys??
Karen your tilted perspective is what’s putting other people at risk. There are people who legitimately can’t get vaccinated and look to others to be vaccinated in order to protect themselves. From 2006 through 2018, 3,454,269,356 doses of vaccine have been given. 7,104 of individuals have file petitions for compensation through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (https://www.hrsa.gov/sites/default/files/hrsa/vaccine-compensation/data/data-statistics-report.pdf). Feel free to triple the number and then do the percentage. That is a small percentage. I rely on my physician for guidance, that’s what I pay them for. If you believe that you know more maybe you just have a shitty doctor.

You’re not kidding, tokenny, when you say ALL drugs have side effects many times worse than what you are taking them for, which always seemed real stupid to me, listen to all that bad **** that is going to happen to you if you take this pill to cure the dry skin on your elbows, and then be actually stupid enough to spend money to buy that **** to make yourself real sick and then you die.
Talk about Darwinism in action, alright.
I’m over 70 and in good health precisely because I stay far away from all that **** and its side effects that you are touting above here as good for you, and I stay away from those called MDs who push that **** on you, as well, and life for me is just fine.
And thanks for taking the time to point that out to us, tokenny!
Think how many lives you just saved there by shouting out that vital warning like a modern-day Paul Revere in here.
As always, your patriotism is highly appreciated by a grateful nation that clamors for stand-up heroes like yourself on these subjects in this day and age of grifters and frauds.

Coronavirus
Is it possible to test negative for COVID-19 and still be infected with the virus?
Yes.
This is possible.
There are several reasons for “false negative” test results — meaning you really DO have COVID-19 although the test result says you don’t.
Reasons for a false negative COVID-19 test result include:
• You were tested too early in the course of illness.
The virus hasn’t multiplied in your body to the level that it could be detected by the test.
• A good specimen was not obtained.
The healthcare personnel may not have swabbed deeply enough in the nasal cavity to collect a good sample.
There could also be handling errors and transportation errors, as the sample must be transported to a lab to be tested.
• The COVID-19 test itself was not sensitive or specific enough to detect COVID-19.
“Sensitivity” refers to the ability of the test to detect the smallest amount of virus.
“Specificity” refers to the ability of the test to detect only the COVID-19 virus and not other similar viruses.
Many different commercial and hospital laboratories have developed tests for COVID-19.
All must meet standards, but no test is 100% sensitive and 100% specific for COVID-19.
This is why there is always a possibility of “false negative” and “false positive” tests.

Suicide is a leading cause of death in the US.
Suicide rates increased in nearly every state from 1999 through 2016.
Mental health conditions are often seen as the cause of suicide, but suicide is rarely caused by any single factor.
In fact, many people who die by suicide are not known to have a diagnosed mental health condition at the time of death.
Other problems often contribute to suicide, such as those related to relationships, substance use, physical health, and job, money, legal, or housing stress.
Making sure government, public health, healthcare, employers, education, the media and community organizations are working together is important for preventing suicide.
Public health departments can bring together these partners to focus on comprehensive state and community efforts with the greatest likelihood of preventing suicide.
States and communities can:
• Offer activities that bring people together so they feel connected and not alone.
