.' - - - - · ·--··--- ..J. Our children MUST BE UNMASKED NOWI This is criminal and the damage being done to the mental and physical health will and is devistating. Stop this fraud being placed our these children! I have proven the fraud in the PCR testing, the fraud in the numbers. The science that children are not affected and zero cases of children infecting teachers. CASES MEAN NOTHING!!! I have shown you all the adverse health damage being done by wearing a mask. This has to end now.

1 County Commissioners,

My name is Tammy Deloye, I have spoken at the last meeting on the mask mandate, and I intend to speak at each and every meeting possible, email weekly with science documents, call until I get a sit down meeting or phone conversation with each of you to state my case backed by science. I will not go away until my goal is completed. My goal is to show you the true science, the incredible harm masks are causing both physically and mentally, and the true nature of what is really going on in our world today. My first goal is to get the mask mandate reversed. ESPECIALLY OFF OUR CHILDREN at school this is simply criminal and child abuse and is causing and will cause irreversable damage both physically and mentally to our children, brain damage due to lack of oxygen (all dis-ease is cell dis-ease, cells get dis-eased and die due to lack of oxygen) , surpresses immune system, dental hygene issues on the rise, face fungus & rashes, a high risk of bacterial pneumonia (on the rise as well) and a whole list of possible diseases that won't be evident until later down the road. The packet I have given you contains many articles covering all these basis I strongly urge you to read each of the articles, you can also look them up onlirie for the reference points to back the data stated. I am no stranger to fighting against the medical system and vaccines, I am a certified wholistic health coach and have been in this field for 12 yrs. I work with, have learned and studied under the top Naturalpathic Drs. in the world and know not only that nutritional supplementation can and does heal the body and protect it against disease. I know how to naturally heal the body and have done so in my own life. What it takes to never catch this or any virus is a healthy immune system and to have zinc, vit d and c in the body. Yet our failed medical system never says a word about this, all they say is "only a vaccine will work" this is a t otal LIE! Doctors receive only 1 hour of nutritional training if that, they know nothing about nutrition. Since this "pandemic" began, before it was even here in the USA I began learning about this "virus" daily, I was concerned just as everyone was back then, however as time went by and the data started coming in the truth began being told or censored more like, behind this plandemic. I have spent hundreds of hours and still do every night, 4 to 6 hours a day researching, reading the science journals, CDC, WHO, listening to virologists, Drs. ect. I know what scienct that has and hasn't been done. I am in the health & wellness business so I care about the health of others, but no one cares more about my daughter's health than I do. NO ONE! My daughter is 12 yrs. old (she spoke at the previous meeting) she has NEVER been vaccinated, never been on antibiotics, penicillin, never even had children's tylonal, no ear infections, nothing but few sniffles for a couple of days and she 12, who else can say that about their 12 yr old ch ild? Most kids by the age of one have had all the above. I also know with out a shadow of a doubt myself or anyone who IS NOT SICK (asymptomatic) does not spread the virus, as stated by the WHO. I do know the damage that is being done to my daughters & others health having to wear a mask all day at school & the negative psychological effects. My other main concern is the over reach of our government, taking away our constitution rights and our medical health freedom. The government has no business telling, forcing or mandating myself or anyone else anything that has to do with our

1 own health or the health of our child. Myself nor anyone else is responsible for anyone elses health period, unless you are sick, those are the people who should wear masks, this is the way it has always been to protect others from sickness spreading to other people. Healthy people should not be masked unless your intention is to have healthy people become sick, which is what is and will end up happening. I know that this "virus" which has never been isolated or been proven to even exist, it does not affect children what so ever or 99.5% of us. I know that masks actually can spread the virus worse than not wearing a mask. I also know that all of this is not about the virus, its about the globalist take over of our country and the world and masks are the first step to mandating the deadly RNA/ DNA altering vaccine. Our bodies are strong, our bodies know how to fight viruses on their own, what should be being talked about is how to have a healthy immune system if anything should be mandated it should be vit. c, d and ZINC. The one major factor in damaging our immune system is vaccines, this has been the biggest lie, disease causing issue on the planet. Now the health dept. are pushing the flu vaccine which in my opinion is where the sarscov virus is coming from in the first place but can not prove that YET, I can prove however that the flu shot has been linked to the deaths in elderly and increases your risk of getting covid by 36%. I am asking you again and will continue to ask to end the mask mandate NOW, this was a free country, we are grown adults and can make our own decisions on our own health. It should be our choice. By now most people are already so conditioned they will still wear the mask anyways. I will not send my daughter back to school if mandate is not lifted and she is crushed by this. I request to have an open mind and read the science I provided and realize that the health depts. (CDC, WHO, FDA & Fauci) do not have our best interest in mind, I am not saying the doctors, most of them only know what they are taught & told to believe by what the CDC says and the FDA, its not the doctors job to do the science, that's what the CDC, FDA are for. However they often do not tell the true science, they have their own interests and agenda. Doctors for the most part are unaware of the true science because it is withheld from them, alot of science can no longer be trusted because their funding is backed by the big pharma which is extremely corrupt. They are only out to make money period. I know you are all intelligent, so ask yourself the questions many of us ask, and tell me where the logic is in any of it. You will find there is NONE ! None of it makes any sense.

First Fauci say on national T.V. don't wear masks, masks do little to protect you and your always fiddling with it touching your face which you should not be doing. He even stated it may make you feel more secure but they are unnecessary. Then after t he height of all the DEATHS they now mandate masks.

Why did Fauci and the CDC ban the use of hydroxychloroquine? A proven drug which at first Fauci was all for it until Trump brought it up and there are multiple scientific studies on hydroxychloroquine and its effect on treating sars? The answer is because there could be NO other alternative treatment to fast track a vaccine. Which Fauci stands to make a forture on along with Gates ar.id others.

2 Why would they censor any and all doctors speaking out on treatments they use and had 100% success?

Why is Bill Gates the go to advisor on viruses and vaccines? He coudn't even keep viruses off his computer software. Why is he dictating that t he WHO, CDC telling t he world how it's going to be and we will never be back to normal until maybe the 2nd generation of vaccines? (His and Fauci vaccine) and he is their now number one funder.

Why were small business closed that have small amount of people there at one t ime, but the big box stores, wa lmart, home depot got to stay open? Yet not one report of an outbreak at ANY OF THOSE STORES.

Why do you have to wear a mask to walk 6ft to your table but can then take it off once seated at your table in a restaurant?

I would like to believe that you all ran for the position your are in for the good of the people, you were trusted as our county commissioners to do what's best for the people of this community. We voted you in. I would like to believe that this county is not corrupt like I have heard many of the other counties are. I would like to believe that you are here to serve the people and that you will uphold your pledge to protect our constitutional rights and do what is right, not go along with the majority of our corrupt government. Our country is in the greatest danger ever right now, the globalists and the U.N plan is completing agenda 21/30. To take away our rights and dest roy this country. If Biden gets in he has already stated that he pl ans another lockdown for "4 to 6 weeks", yeah right like the 14 days to slow the spread over 200 days later, it will be permanent! Mandatory masks everywhere and forced vaccines which will kill more of us than a virus ever would and completely alter our DNA making us transhuman. Tracking our every move, PAPERS PLEASE!! We won't be able to travel, work, get paid, buy food, NOTHING. Our only hope for us and the future of our children, your grandchildren, is our county government, you must be on our side, not the governments. We are counting on you to save our community from this tyranny. Please end the mask mandate, its not about protecting us, it's about control and breaking us down psychologically getting us more willing to take the vaccine just so we can breath. A community group has been started of all of us against the mandates and government over reach, as of now we have about 200 members and it's growing, we are holding event after even, we will not go away we will only grow stronger. If you have any questions please contact me. Thank you for your time.

The German Corona Investigative Committee has taken testimony from a large number of international scientists and experts since July 10, 2020. Scroll down for the Video and Full Transcript of Dr. Reiner Fuellmich's presentation.

Their conclusions are the following:

• The corona crisis must be renamed the "Coron Scand I" • It is: o The biggest tort case ever o The greatest crime against humanity ever committed • Those responsible must be: o Criminally prosecuted for crimes against humanity o Sued for civil damages • Deaths o There is no excess mortality in any country o Corona virus mortality equals seasonal flu o 94% of deaths in Bergamo were caused by transferring sick patients to nursing homes where they infected old people with weak immune systems o Doctors and hospitals worldwide were paid to declare deceased victims of Covid-19 o Autopsies showed: • Fatalities almost all caused by serious pre-existing conditions Almost all deaths were very old people • Sweden (no lockdown) and Britain (strict lockdown) have comparable disease and mortality statistics o US states with and without lockdowns have comparable disease and mortality statistics • Health o Hospitals remain empty and some face bankruptcy o Populations have T-cell immunity from previous influenza waves o Herd immunity needs only 15-25% population infection and is already achieved o Only when a person has symptoms can an infection be contagious • Tests: o Many scientists call this a PCR-test pandemic, not a corona pandemic o Very healthy and non-infectious people may test positive o Likelihood of false-positives is 89-94% or near certainty o Prof. Drosten developed his PCR test from an old SARS virus without ever having seen the real Wuhan virus from China o The PCR test is not based on scientific facts with respect to infections o PCR tests are useless for the detection of infections o A positive PCR test does not mean an infection is present or that an intact virus has been found o Amplification of samples over 35 cycles is unreliable but WHO recommended 45 cycles • Illegality: o The German government locked down, imposed social-distancing/ mask-wearing on the basis of a single opinion o The lockdown was imposed when the virus was already retreating o The lockdowns were based on non-existent infections o Former president of the German federal constitutional court doubted the constitutionality of the corona mea ures o Former UK supreme court judge lord Sumption concluded there was no factual basis for panic and no legal basis for corona measures o German RKI (CDC equivalent) recommended no autopsies be performed o Corona measures have no sufficient factual or legal basis, are unconstitutional and must be repealed immediately o No serious scientist gives any validity to the infamous Neil Ferguson· false computer models warning of millions of deaths o ainstream media completely failed to report the true facts of the so-called pandemic o Democracy is in danger of being replaced by fascist totalitarian models https://www.globalresearch.ca/video-crimes-against-humanity-the-german-corona-investigation/5725795?print=1 1/8 f 11/15/2020 Video: "Crimes Against Humanity": The German Corona Investigation.

I am Reiner Fuellmich and I have been admitted to the Bar in Germany and in California for 26 years. I have been practicing law primarily as a trial lawyer against fraudulent corporations such as Deutsche Bank, formerly one of the world's largest and most respected banks, today one of the most toxic criminal organizations in the world; VW, one of the world's largest and most respected car manufacturers, today notorious for its giant diesel fraud; and Kuehne and Nagel, the world's largest shipping company. We 're suing them in a multi-million-dollar bribery case. I'm also one of four members of the German Corona Investigative Committee. Since July 10, 2020, this Committee has been listening to a large number of international scientists' and experts' testimony to find answers to questions about the corona crisis, which more and more people worldwide are asking. All the above-mentioned cases of corruption and fraud committed by the German corporations pale in comparison in view of the extent of the damage that the corona crisis has caused and continues to cause. This corona crisis, according to all we know today, must be renamed a "Corona Scandal" and those responsible for it must be criminally prosecuted and sued for civil damages. On a political level, everything must be done to make sure that no one will ever again be in a position of such power as to be able to defraud humanity or to attempt to manipulate us with their corrupt agendas. And for this reason I will now explain to you how and where an international network of lawyers will argue this biggest tort case ever, the corona fraud scandal, which has meanwhile unfolded into probably the greatest crime against humanity ever committed.

Crimes against humanity were first defined in connection with the Nuremberg trials after World War II, that is, when they dealt with the main war criminals of the Third Reich. Crimes against humanity are today regulated in section 7 of the International Criminal Code. The three major questions to be answered in the context of a judicial approach to the corona scandal are: 1. Is there a corona pandemic or is there only a PCR-test pandemic? Specifically, does a positive PCR-test result mean that the person tested is infected with Covid-19, or does it mean absolutely nothing in connection with the Covid-19 infection? 2. Do the so-called anti-corona measures, such as the lockdown, mandatory face masks, social distancing, and quarantine regulations, serve to protect the world's population from corona, or do these measures serve only to make people panic so that they believe - without asking any questions - that their lives are in danger, so that in the end the pharmaceutical and tech industries can generate huge profits from the sale of PCR tests, antigen and antibody tests and vaccines, as well as the harvesting of our genetic fingerprints? https://www.globalresearch.ca/video-crimes-against-humanity-the-german-corona-investigation/5725795?print=1 2/8 .. 11/15/2020 Video: "Crimes Against Humanity": The German Corona Investigation. "The PCR Pandemic" - Global ResearchGlobal Research 3. Is it true that the German government was massively lobbied, more so than any other country, by the chief protagonists of this so called corona pandemic, Mr. Drosten, virologist at charity hospital in Berlin; Mr. Wieler, veterinarian and head of the German equivalent of the CDC, the RKI; and Mr. Tedros, Head of the World Health Organization or WHO; because Germany is known as a particularly disciplined country and was therefore to become a role model for the rest of the world for its strict and, of course, successful adherence to the corona measures? Answers to these three questions are urgently needed because the allegedly new and highly dangerous coronavirus has not caused any excess mortality anywhere in the world, and certainly not here in Germany. But the anti-corona measures, whose only basis are the PCR-test results, which are in turn all based on the German Drosten test, have, in the meantime, caused the loss of innumerable human lives and have destroyed the economic existence of countless companies and individuals worldwide. In Australia, for example, people are thrown into prison if they do not wear a mask or do not wear it properly, as deemed by the authorities. In the Philippines, people who do not wear a mask or do not wear it property, in this sense, are getting shot in the head. Let me first give you a summary of the facts as they present themselves today. The most important thing in a lawsuit is to establish the facts - that is, to find out what actually happened. That is because the application of the law always depends on the facts at issue. If I want to prosecute someone for fraud, I cannot do that by presenting the facts of a car accident. So what happened here regarding the alleged corona pandemic? The facts laid out below are, to a large extent, the result of the work of the Corona Investigative Committee. This Committee was founded on July 10, 2020 by four lawyers in order to determine, through hearing expert testimony of international scientists and other experts: 1. How dangerous is the virus really? 2. What is the significance of a positive PCR test? 3. What collateral damage has been caused by the corona measures, both with respect to the world population's health, and with respect to the world's economy? Let me start with a little bit of background information. What happened in May 2019 and then in early 2020? And what happened 12 years earlier with the swine flu, which many of you may have forgotten about? In May 2019, the stronger of the two parties which govern Germany in a grand coalition, the CDU, held a Congress on Global Health, apparently at the instigation of important players from the pharmaceutical industry and the tech industry. At this Congress, the usual suspects, you might say, gave their speeches. Angela Merkel was there, and the German Secretary of Health, Jens Spahn. But, some other people, whom one would not necessarily expect to be present at such a gathering, were also there: Professor Drosten, virologist from the Charite hospital in Berlin; Professor Wieler, veterinarian and Head of the RKI, the German equivalent of the CDC; as well as Mr. Tedros, philosopher and Head of the World Health Organization (WHO). They all gave speeches there. Also present and giving speeches were the chief lobbyists of the world's tvvo largest health funds, namely the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Wellcome Trust. Less than a year later, these very people called the shots in the proclamation of the worldwide corona pandemic, made sure that mass PCR tests were used to prove mass infections with Covid-19 all over the world, and are now pushing for vaccines to be invented and sold worldwide. These infections, or rather the positive test results that the PCR tests delivered, in tum became the justification for worldwide lockdowns, social distancing and mandatory face masks. It is important to note at this point that the definition of a pandemic was changed 12 years earlier. Until then, a pandemic was considered to be a disease that spread worldwide and which led to many serious illnesses and deaths. Suddenly, and for reasons never explained, it was supposed to be a worldwide disease only. Many serious illnesses and many deaths were not required any more to announce a pandemic. Due to this change, the WHO, which is closely intertwined with the global pharmaceutical industry, was able to declare the swine flu pandemic in 2009, with the result that vaccines were produced and sold worldwide on the basis of contracts that have been kept secret until today. These vaccines proved to be completely unnecessary because the swine flu eventually turned out to be a mild flu, and never became the horrific plague that the pharmaceutical industry and its affiliated universities kept announcing it would tum into, with millions of deaths certain to happen if people didn't get vaccinated. These vaccines also led to serious health problems. About 700 children in Europe fell incurably ill with narcolepsy and are now forever severely disabled. The vaccines bought with millions of taxpayers' money had to be destroyed with even more taxpayers' money. Already then, during the swine flu, the German virologist Drosten was one of those who stirred up panic in the population, repeating over and over again that the swine flu would claim many hundreds of thousands, even millions of deaths all over the world. In the end, it was mainly thanks to Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg and his efforts as a member of the German Bundestag, and also a member of the Council of Europe, that this hoax was brought to an end before it would lead to even more serious consequences. Fast forward to March of 2020, when the German Bundestag announced an Epidemic Situation of National Importance, which is the German equivalent of a pandemic in March of 2020 and, based on this, the lockdown with the suspension of all essential constitutional rights for an unforeseeable time, there was only one single opinion on which the Federal Government in Germany based its decision. In an outrageous violation of the universally accepted principle "audiatur et altera pars", which means that one must also hear the other side, the only person they listened to was Mr. Drosten. That is the very person whose horrific, panic-inducing prognoses had proved to be catastrophically false 12 years earlier. We know this because a whistleblower named David Sieber, a member of the Green Party, told us about it. He did so first on August 29, 2020 in Bertin, in the context of an event at which Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. also took part, and at which both men gave speeches. And he did so afterwards in one of the sessions of our Corona Committee. The reason he did this is that he had become increasingly sceptical about the official narrative propagated by politicians and the mainstream media. He had therefore undertaken an effort to find out about other scientists' opinions and had found them on the Internet. There, he realized 1hat there were a number of highly renowned scientists who held a completely different opinion, which contradicted the horrific prognoses of Mr. Drosten. They assumed - and still do assume - that there was no disease that went beyond the gravity of the seasonal flu, that the population had already acquired cross- or T-cell immunity against this allegedly new virus, and that there was therefore no reason for any special measures, and certainly not for vaccinations. These scientists include Professor John Ioannidis of Stanford University in California, a specialist in statistics and epidemiology, as well as public health, and at the same time the most quoted scientist in the world; Professor Michael Levitt, Nobel prize-winner for chemistry and also a biophysicist at Stanford University; the German professors Kary Moiling, Sucharit Bhakti, Klud Wittkowski, as well as Stefan Homburg; and now many, many more scientists and doctors worldwide, including Dr. Mike Yeadon. Dr. Mike https://www.globalresearch.ca/video-crimes-against-humanity-the-german-corona-investigation/5725795?print=1 3/8 , 11/15/2020 Video: "Crimes Against Humanity": The German Corona Investigation. "The PCR Pandemic" - Global ResearchGlobal Research Yeadon is the former Vice-President and Scientific Director of Pfizer, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. I will talk some more about him a little later. At the end of March, beginning of April of 2020, Mr. Sieber turned to the leadership of his Green Party with the knowledge he had accumulated, and suggested that they present these other scientific opinions to the public and explain that, contrary to Mr. Drosten's doomsday prophecies, there was no reason for the public to panic. Incidentally, Lord Sumption, who served as a judge at the Bri~ish supreme court from 2012 to 2018, had done the very same thing at the very same time and had come to the very same conclusion: that there was no factual basis for panic and no legal basis for the corona measures. Likewise, the former President of the German federal constitutional court expressed - albeit more cautiously - serious doubts that the corona measures were constitutional. But instead of taking note of these other opinions and discussing them with David Sieber, the Green Party leadership declared that Mr. Drosten's panic messages were good enough for the Green Party. Remember, they're not a member of the ruling coalition; they're the opposition. Still, that was enough for them, just as it had been good enough for the Federal Government as a basis for its lockdown decision, they said. They subsequently, the Green Party leadership called David Sieber a conspiracy theorist, without ever having considered the content of his information, and then stripped him of his mandates. Now let's take a look at the current actual situation regarding the virus's danger, the complete uselessness of PCR tests for the detection of infections, and the lockdowns based on non-existent infections. In the meantime, we know that the health care systems were never in danger of becoming overwhelmed by Covid-19. On the contrary, many hospitals remain empty to this day and some are now facing bankruptcy. The hospital ship Comfort, which anchored in New York at the time, and could have accommodated a thousand patients, never accommodated more than some 20 patients. Nowhere was there any excess mortality. Studies carried out by Professor Ioannidis and others have shown that the mortality of corona is equivalent to that of the seasonal flu . Even the pictures from Bergamo and New York that were used to demonstrate to the world that panic was in order proved to be deliberately misleading. Then, the so-called "Panic Paper" was leaked, which was written by the German Department of the Interior. Its classified content shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that, in fact, the population was deliberately driven to panic by politicians and mainstream media. The accompanying 1rrespons1ble statements of the Head of the RKI - remember the [German] CDC - Mr. W1eler, who repeatedly and excitedly announced that the corona measures must be followed unconditionally by the population without them asking any question, shows that that he followed the script verbatim. In his public statements, he kept announcing that the situation was very grave and threatening, although the figures compiled by his own Institute proved the exact opposite. Among other things, the "Panic Paper" calls for children to be made to feel responsible - and I quote - "for the painful tortured death of their parents and grandparents if they do not follow the corona rules", that is, if they do not wash their hands constantly and don't stay away from their grandparents. A word of clarification: in Bergamo, the vast majority of deaths, 94% to be exact, turned out to be the result not of Covid-19, but rather the consequence of the government deciding to transfer sick patients, sick with probably the cold or seasonal flu, from hospitals to nursing homes in order to make room at the hospitals for all the Covid patients, who ultimately never arrived. There, at the nursing homes, they then infected old people with a severely weakened immune system, usually as a result of pre-existing medical conditions. In addition, a flu vaccination, which had previously been administered, had further weakened the immune systems of the people in the nursing homes. In New York, only some, but by far not all hospitals were overwhelmed. Many people, most of whom were again elderly and had serious pre-existing medical conditions, and most of whom, had it not been for the panic-mongering, would have just stayed at home to recover, raced to the hospitals. There, many of them fell victim to healthcare associated infections (or nosocomial infections) on the one hand, and incidents of malpractice on the other hand, for example, by being put on a respirator rather than receiving oxygen through an oxygen mask. Again, to clarify: Covid-19, this is the current state of affairs, is a dangerous disease, just like the seasonal flu is a dangerous disease. And of course, Covid-19, just like the seasonal flu , may sometimes take take a severe clinical course and will sometimes kill patients. However, as autopsies have shown, which were carried out in Germany in particular, by the forensic scientist Professor Klaus Puschel in Hamburg, the fatalities he examined had almost all been caused by serious pre-existing conditions, and almost all of the people who had died had died at the very at a very old age, just like in Italy, meaning they had lived beyond their average life expectancy. In this context, the following should also be mentioned: the German RKI - that is, again the equivalent of the CDC - had initially, strangely enough, recommended that no autopsies be performed. And there are numerous credible reports that doctors and hospitals worldwide had been paid money for declaring a deceased person a victim of Covid-19 rather than writing down the true cause of death on the death certificate, for example a heart attack or a gunshot wound. Without the autopsies, we would never know that the overwhelming majority of the alleged Covid-19 victims had died of completely different diseases, but not of Covid-19. The assertion that the lockdown was necessary because there were so many different infections with SARS-COV-2, and because the healthcare systems would be overwhelmed is wrong for three reasons, as we have learned from the hearings we conducted with the Corona Committee, and from other data that has become available in the meantime: A. The lockdown was imposed when the virus was already retreating. By the time the lockdown was imposed, the alleged infection rates were already dropping again. B. There's already protection from the virus because of cross- or T-cell immunity. Apart from the above mentioned lockdown being imposed when the infection rates were already dropping, there is also cross- or T-cell immunity in the general population against the corona viruses contained in every flu or influenza wave. This is true, even if this time around, a slightly different strain of the coronavirus was at work. And that is because the body's own immune system remembers every virus it has ever battled in the past and from this experience, it also recognizes a supposedly new, but still similar, strain of the virus from the corona family. Incidentally, that's how the PCR test for the detection of an infection was invented by now infamous Professor Drosten. At the beginning of January of 2020, based on this very basic knowledge, Mr. Drosten developed his PCR test, which supposedly detects an infection with SARS-COV-2, without ever having seen the real Wuhan virus from China, only having learned from social media reports that there was something going on in Wuhan, he started tinkering on his computer with what would become his corona PCR test. For this, he used an old SARS virus, hoping it would be sufficiently similar to the allegedly new strain of the coronavirus found in Wuhan. Then, he sent the result of his computer tinkering to China to determine whether the victims of the alleged new coronavirus tested positive. They did. And that was enough for the World Health Organization to sound the pandemic alarm and to recommend the worldwide use of the Drosten PCR test for the detection of infections with the virus now called SARS-COV-2. Drosten's opinion and advice was - this must be emphasized once again - the only source for the German government when it announced the lockdown as well as the rules for social distancing and the mandatory wearing of masks. And - this must also be emphasized once again - Germany apparently https://www.globalresearch.ca/video-crimes-against-humanity-the-gerrnan-corona-investigation/5725795?print=1 4/8 . 1111512020 Video: "Crimes Against Humanity": The German Corona Investigation. "The PCR Pandemic" - Global ResearchGlobal Research became the center of especially massive lobbying by the pharmaceutical and tech industry because the world, with reference to the allegedly disciplined Germans, should do as the Germans do in order to survive the pandemic. C. And this is the most important part of our fact-finding: the PCR test is being used on the basis of false statements, NOT based on scientific facts with respect to infections. In the meantime, we have learned that these PCR tests, contrary to the assertions of Messrs. Drosten, Wieler and the WHO, do NOT give any indication of an infection with any virus, let alone an infection with SARS COV-2. Not only are PCR tests expressly not approved for diagnostic purposes, as is correctly noted on leaflets coming with these tests, and as the inventor of the PCR test, Kary Mullis, has repeatedly emphasized. Instead, they're simply incapable of diagnosing any disease. That is: contrary to the assertions of Drosten, Wieler and the WHO, which they have been making since the proclamation of the pandemic, a positive PCR-test result does not mean that an infection is present. If someone tests positive, it does NOT mean that they're infected with anything, let alone with the contagious SARS-COV-2 virus. Even the United States CDC, even this institution agrees with this, and I quote directly from page 38 of one of its publications on the coronavirus and the PCR tests, dated July 13, 2020. First bullet point says: "Detection of viral RNA may not indicate the presence of infectious virus or that 2019 nCOV [novel coronavirusJ is the causative agent for clinical symptoms." Second bullet point says: "The performance of this test has not been established for monitoring treatment of 2019 nCOV mfect,on.• Third bullet point says: • This test cannot rule out diseases caused by other bacterial or viral pathogens.• It is still not clear whether there has ever been a scientifically correct isolation of the Wuhan virus, so that nobody knows exactly what we're looking for when we test, especially since this virus, just like the flu viruses, mutates quickly. The PCR swabs take one or two sequences of a molecule that are invisible to the human eye and therefore need to be amplified in many cycles to make it visible. Everything over 35 cycles is - as reported by the New York Times and others - considered completely unreliable and scientifically unjustifiable. However, the Drosten test, as well as the WHO-recommended tests that followed his example, are set to 45 cycles. Can that be because of the desire to produce as many positive results as possible and thereby provide the basis for the false assumption that a large number of infections have been detected? The test cannot distinguish inactive and reproductive matter. That means that a positive result may happen because the test detects, for example, a piece of debris, a fragment of a molecule, which may signal nothing else than that the immune system of the person tested won a battle with a common cold in the past. Even Drosten himself declared in an interview with a German business magazine in 2014, at that time concerning the alleged detection of an infection with the MERS virus, allegedly with the help of the PCR test, that these PCR tests are so highly sensitive that even very healthy and non-infectious people may test positive. At that time, he also became very much aware of the powerful role of a panic and fear-mongering media, as you'll see at the end of the following quote. He said then, in this interview: "If, for example, such a pathogen scurries over the nasal mucosa of a nurse for a day or so without her getting sick or noticing anything, then she's suddenly a MERS case. This could also explain the explosion of case numbers in Saudi Arabia. In addition, the media there have made this into an incredible sensation." Has he forgotten this? Or is he deliberately concealing this in the corona context because corona is a very lucrative business opportunity for the pharmaceutical industry as a whole? And for Mr. Alford Lund, his co-author in many studies and also a PCR-test producer. In my view, it is completely implausible that he forgot in 2020 what he knew about the PCR tests and told the business magazine in 2014. In short, this test cannot detect any infection, contrary to all false claims stating that it can. An infection, a so-called "hot" infection, requires that the virus, or rather a fragment of a molecule which may be a virus, is not just found somewhere, for example, in the throat of a person without causing any damage - that would be a "cold" infection. Rather, a "hot• infection requires that the virus penetrates into the cells, replicates there and causes symptoms such as headaches or a sore throat. Only then is a person really infected in the sense of a "hot" infection, because only then is a person contagious, that is, able to infect others. Until then, it is completely harmless for both the host and all other people that the host comes into contact with. Once again, this means that positive test results, contrary to all other claims by Crosten, Wieler, or the WHO, mean nothing with respect to infections. as even the CDC knows, as quoted above. Meanwhile, a number of highly respected scientists worldwide assume that there has never been a corona pandemic, but only a PCR test pandemic. This is the conclusion reached by many German scientists, such as professors Bhakti, Reiss, Melling, Hockertz, Walach and many others, including the above-mentioned Professor John Ioannidis, and the Nobel laureate, Professor Michael Levitt from Stanford University. The most recent such opinion is that of the aforementioned Or. Mike Yeadon, a former Vice-President and Chief Science Officer at Pfizer, who held this position for 16 years. He and his co-authors, all well-known scientists, published a scientific paper in September of 2020 and he wrote a corresponding magazine article on September 20, 2020. Among other things, he and they state - and I quote: "We're basing our government policy, our economic policy, and the policy of restricting fundamental rights, presumably on completely wrong data and assumptions about the coronavirus. If it weren 't for the test results that are constantly reported in the media, the pandemic would be over because nothing really happened. Of course, there are some serious individual cases of illness, but there are also some in every flu epidemic. There was a real wave of disease in March and April, but since then, everything has gone back to normal. Only the positive results rise and sink wildly again and again, depending on how many tests are carried out. But the real cases of illnesses are over. There can be no talk of a second wave. The allegedly new strain of the coronavirus is .. : - Dr. Yeadon continues - " ... only new in that it is a new type of the Jong-known corona virus. There are at least four corona viruses that are endemic and cause some of the common colds we experience, especially in winter. They all have a striking sequence similarity to the coronavirus, and because the human immune system recognizes the similarity to the virus that has now allegedly been newly discovered, a T-cell immunity has long existed in this respect. 30 per cent of the population had this before the allegedly new https://www.globalresearch .ca/video-crimes-against-humanity-the-german-corona-investigalion/5725795?print=1 5/8 < 11/15/2020 Video: "Crimes Against Humanity": The German Corona Investigation. "The PCR Pandemic" - Global ResearchGlobal Research virus even appeared. Therefore, it is sufficient for the so-called herd immu_nity that 1~ to 25 per cent of the p~pulation are infected with the allegedly new coronavirus to stop the further spread of the virus. And this has long been the case. Regarding the all-important PCR tests, Yeadon writes, in a piece called ·ues, Damned Lies and Health Statistics: The Deadly_ Danger of False Positives", dated September 20, 2020, and I quote • The likelihood of an apparently positive case being a false positive is between 89 to 94 per cent, or near certainty."

Dr. Yeadon, in agreement ..;,ith the professors of immunology Kamara from Germany, Kappel from the Netherlands, and Cahill from Ireland, as well as the microbiologist Dr. Arve from Austria, all of whom testified before the German Corona Committee, explicitly points out that a positive test does not mean that an intact virus has been found. The authors explain that what the PCR test actually measures is - and I quote: "Simply the presence of partial RNA sequences present m the intact virus, which could be a piece of dead virus, which cannot make the subject sick, and cannot be transmitted, and cannot make anyone else sick." Because of the complete unsuitability of the test for the detection of infectious diseases - tested positive in goats, sheep, papayas and even chicken wings - Oxford Professor Cart Heneghan, Director of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, writes that the Covid virus would never disappear if this test practice were to be continued, but would always be falsely detected in much of what is tested. Lockdowns, as Yeadon and his colleagues found out, do not work. Sweden, with its laissez-faire approach, and Great Britain, with its strict lockdown, for example, have completely comparable disease and mortality statistics. The same was found by US scientists concerning the different US states. It makes no difference to the incidence of disease whether a state implements a lockdown or not. With regard to the now infamous Imperial College of London's Professor Neil Ferguson and his completely false computer models warning of millions of deaths, he says that - and I quote: "No serious scientist gives any validity to Ferguson 's model." He points out with thinly veiled contempt - again I quote: "It's important that you know, most scientists don't accept that it ... " - that is, Ferguson's model - ·was even faintly right. But the government is still wedded to the model." Ferguson predicted 40 thousand corona deaths in Sweden by May and 100 thousand by June, but it remained at 5,800 which, according to the Swedish authorities, is equivalent to a mild flu. If the PCR tests had not been used as a diagnostic tool for corona infections, there would not be a pandemic and there would be no lockdowns, but everything would have been perceived as just a medium or light wave of influenza, these scientists conclude. Dr. Yeadon in his piece, "Lies, Damned Lies and Health Statistics: The Deadly Danger of False Positives, writes: "This test is fatally flawed and must immediately be withdrawn and never used again in this setting, unless shown to be fixed." And , towards the end of that article, "I have explained how a hopelessly performing diagnostic test has been, and continues to be used, not for diagnosis of disease, but it seems solely to create fear". Now let's take a look at the current actual situation regarding the severe damage caused by the lockdowns and other measures. Another detailed paper, written by a German official in the Department of the Interior, who is responsible for risk assessment and the protection of the population against risks, was leaked recently. It is now called the "False Alarm" paper. This paper comes to the conclusion that there was that there was and is no sufficient evidence for serious health risks for the population as claimed by Drosten, Wieler and the WHO, but - the author says - there's very much evidence of the corona measures causing gigantic health and economic damage to the population, which he then describes in detail in this paper. This, he concludes, will lead to very high claims for damages, which the government will be held responsible for. This has now become reality, but the paper's author was suspended. More and more scientists, but also lawyers, recognize that. as a result of the deliberate panio-mongering, and the corona measures enabled by this panic, democracy is in great danger of being replaced by fascist totalitarian models. As I already mentioned above, in Australia, people who do not wear the masks, which more and more studies show, are hazardous to health, or who allegedly do not wear them correctly, are arrested, handcuffed and thrown into jail. In the Philippines, they run the nsk of getting shot, but even in Germany and in other previously civilized countries, children are taken away from their parents if they do not comply with quarantine regulations, distance regulations, and mask-wearing regulations. According to psychologists and psychotherapists who testified before the Corona Committee, children are traumatized en masse, with the worst psychological consequences yet to be expected in the medium- and long-term. In Germany alone, to bankruptcies are expected in the fall to strike small- and medium-sized businesses, which form the backbone of the economy. This will result in incalculable tax losses and incalculably high and long-term social security money transfers for - among other things - unemployment benefits. Since, in the meantime, pretty much everybody is beginning to understand the full devastating impact of the completely unfounded corona measures, I will refrain from detailing this any further. Let me now give you a summary of the legal consequences. The most difficult part of a lawyer's work is always to establish the true facts, not the application of the legal rules to these facts. Unfortunately, a German lawyer does not learn this at law school but his Anglo-American counterparts do get the necessary training for this at their law schools. And probably for this reason, but also because of the much more pronounced independence of the Anglo-American judiciary, the Anglo-American law of evidence is much more effective in practice than the German one. A court of law can only decide a legal dispute correctly if it has previously determined the facts correctly, which is not possible without looking at all the evidence. And that's why the law of evidence is so important. On the basis of the facts summarized above, in particular those established with the help of the work of the German Corona Committee, the legal evaluation is actually simple. It is simple for all civilized legal systems, regardless of whether these legal systems are based on civil law, which follows the Roman law more closely, or whether they are based on Anglo-American common law, which is only loosely connected to Roman law. Let's first take a look at the unconstitutionality of the measures. A number of German law professors, including professors Kingreen, Morswig, Jungbluth and Vosgerau have stated, either in written expert opinions or in interviews, in line with the serious doubts expressed by the former president of the federal constitutional court with respect to the constitutionality of the corona measures, that these measures - the corona measures - are without a sufficient factual basis, and also without a sufficient legal basis, and are therefore unconstitutional and must be repealed immediately. Very recently, a judge, Thorsten Schleif is his name, declared publicly that the German judiciary, just like the general public, has been so panic-stricken that it was no longer able to administer justice property. He says that the courts of law - and I quote - "have all too quickly waved through coercive measures which, for millions of https://www.globalresearch.ca/video-crimes-againsl-humanity-the-german-corona-invesligalion/5725795?prinl=1 6/8 1 11/15/2020 Video: "Crimes Against Humanity": The German Corona Investigation. "The PCR Pandemic" - Global ResearchGlobal Research people all over Germany, represent massive suspensions of their constitutional rights. He points out that German citizens - again I quote - "are currently experiencing the most serious encroachment on their constitutional rights since the founding of the federal republic of Germany in 1949". In order to contain the corona pandemic, federal and state governments have intervened, he says, massively, and in part threatening the very existence of the country as it is guaranteed by the constitutional rights of the people. What about fraud, intentional infliction of damage and crimes against humanity? Based on the rules of criminal law, asserting false facts concerning the PCR tests or intentional misrepresentation, as it was committed by Messrs. Drosten, Wieler and WHO, as well as the WHO, can only be assessed as fraud. Based on the rules of civil tort law, this translates into intentional infliction of damage. The Gem,an professor of civil law, Martin Schwab, supports this finding in public interviews. In a comprehensive legal opinion of around 180 pages, he has familiarized himself with the subject matter like no other legal scholar has done thus far and, in particular, has provided a detailed account of the complete failure of the mainstream media to report on the true facts of this so-called pandemic. Messrs. Drosten, Wieler and Tedros of the WHO all knew, based on their own expertise or the expertise of their institutions, that the PCR tests cannot provide any information about infections, but asserted over and over again to the general public that they can, with their counterparts all over the world repeating this. And they all knew and accepted that, on the basis of their recommendations, the governments of the world would decide on lockdowns, the rules for social distancing, and mandatory wearing of masks, the latter representing a very serious health hazard, as more and more independent studies and expert statements show. Under the rules of civil tort law, all those who have been hamied by these PCR-test-induced lockdowns are entitled to receive full compensation for their losses. In particular, there is a duty to compensate - that is, a duty to pay damages for the loss of profits suffered by companies and self-employed employed persons as a result of the lockdown and other measures. In the meantime, however, the anti-corona measures have caused, and continue to cause, such devastating damage to the world population's health and economy that the crimes committed by Messrs. Drosten, Wieler and the WHO must be legally qualified as actual crimes against humanity, as defined in section 7 of the International Cnminal Code. How can we do something? What can we do? Well, the class action is the best route to compensatory damages and to political consequences. The so-called class action lawsuit is based on English law and exists today in the USA and in Canada. It enables a court of law to allow a complaint for damages to be tried as a class action lawsuit at the request of a plaintiff if: 1. As a result of a damage-inducing event ... 2. A large number of people suffer the same type of damage. Phrased differently, a judge can allow a class-action lawsuit to go forward if common questions of law and fact make up the vital component of the lawsuit. Here, the common questions of law and fact revolve around the worldwide PCR-test-based lockdowns and its consequences. Just like the VW diesel passenger cars were functioning products, but they were defective due to a so-called defeat device because they didn't comply with the emissions standards, so too the PCR tests - which are perfectly good products in other settings - are defective products when it comes to the diagnosis of infections. Now, if an American or Canadian company or an American or Canadian individual decides to sue these persons in the United States or Canada for damages, then the court called upon to resolve this dispute may, upon request, allow this complaint to be tried as a class action lawsuit If this happens, all affected parties worldwide will be informed about this through publications in the mainstream media and will thus have the opportunity to join this class action within a certain period of time, to be determined by the court. It should be emphasized that nobody mustjoin the class action, but every injured party can join the class. The advantage of the class action is that only one trial is needed, namely to try the complaint of a representative plaintiff who is affected in a manner typical of everyone else in the class. This is, firstly, cheaper, and secondly, faster than hundreds of thousands or more individual lawsuits. And thirdly, it imposes less of a burden on the courts. Fourthly, as a rule it allows a much more precise examination of the accusations than would be possible in the context of hundreds of thousands, or more likely in this corona setting, even millions of individual lawsuits. In particular, the well-established and proven Anglo-American law of evidence, with its pre-trial discovery, is applicable. This requires that all evidence relevant for the determination of the lawsuit is put on the table. In contrast to the typical situation in German lawsuits with structural imbalance, that is, lawsuits involving on the one hand a consumer, and on the other hand a powerful corporation, the withholding or even destruction of evidence is not without consequence; rather the party withholding or even destroying evidence loses the case under these evidence rules. Here in Germany, a group of tort lawyers have banded together to help their clients with recovery of damages. They have provided all relevant information and forms for German plaintiffs to both estimate how much damage they have suffered and join the group or class of plaintiffs who will later join the class action when it goes forward either in Canada or the US. Initially, this group of lawyers had considered to also collect and manage the claims for damages of other, non-German plaintiffs, but this proved to be unmanageable. However, through an international lawyers' network, which is growing larger by the day, the German group of attorneys provides to all of their colleagues in all other countries, free of charge, all relevant information, including expert opinions and testimonies of experts showing that the PCR tests cannot detect infections. And they also provide them with all relevant information as to how they can prepare and bundle the claims for damages of their clients so that, they too, can assert their clients· claims for damages, either in their home country's courts of law, or within the framework of the class action, as explained above. These scandalous corona facts, gathered mostly by the Corona Committee and summarized above, are the very same facts that will soon be proven to be true either in one court of law, or in many courts of law all over the world. These are the facts that will pull the masks off the faces of all those responsible for these crimes. To the politicians who believe those corrupt people, these facts are hereby offered as a lifeline that can help you readjust your course of action, and start the long overdue public scientific discussion, and not go down with those charlatans and criminals. Thank you.

Nine COVID Facts: A Pandemic of Fearmongering and Ignorance

By Jeff Harris Global Researr.h, October 30, 2020 The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Pros~tY. 28 October 2020 Ur1 of this article: httgs·-·1,·.ww.globatresea,,:;h.ca'n•ne-,;'lv1rJ-lacts-i:iandem,c-feannonger>ng:!gnoranc~'57<'8067

Ever since the alleged pandemic erupted this past March the mainstream media has spewed a non stop stream of misinformation that appears to be laser focused on generating maximum fear among the citizenry. But the facts and the science simply don't support the grave picture painted of a deadly virus sweeping the land. Yes we do have a pandemic, but it' a pandemic of ginned up p~eudo-science masquerading as unbiased fact. Here are nine facts backed up with data, in many cases from the CDC itself that paints a very different picture from the fear and dread being relentlessly drummed into the brains of unsuspecting citizens. 1} The PCR test is nractica!IY. useless

According to an article in the New York Times August 29th 2020 testing for the Covid-19 virus using the popular PCR method results in up to 9 °o of those tested showing positive results that are grossly misleading. Officials in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada compiled testing data that revealed the PCR test can NOT determine the amount of viras in a sample. (viral load) The amount of virus in up to 90% of positive results turned out to be so miniscule that the patient was asymptomatic and posed no threat to others. So the positive Covid-19 tests are virtually meaningless. 2) A positive test is NOT a CASE For some reason every positiye Covid-19 test is immediately designated a CASE. As we saw in #1 above up to 90% of positive Covid- 19 tests result in miniscule amounts of virus that do not sicken the subject. Historically only patients who demonstrated actual symptoms of an illness were considered a case. Publishing positive test results as "CASES" is grossly misleading and needlessly alarming. 3) The Centers for Disease Control dramatically lowered the Covid-1 9 Death Coun

On August 30111 the CDC released new data that showed only 6% of the deaths previously attributed to Covid-19 were due exclusively to the virus. The vast majority, 94%, may have ha'd exposure to Covid.1 9 but also had preexisting illnesses like heart disease, obesity, hypertension, cancer and various respiratory illnesses. While they died with Covid-19 they did NOT die exclusively from Covid-19. 4~ports Covid-19 Survival Rate over 99% The CDC updated their "Current Best Estimate" for Covid-19 survival on September 1o th showing that over 99% of people exposed to the virus survived. Another way to say this is that less than 1% of the exposures are potentially life threatening. According to the CDC the vast majority of deaths attributed to Covid-19 were concentrated in the population over age 70, close to normal life expectancy

In September of 2020 the CDC released the results of a study conducted in July where they discovered that 85% of the positive Covid test subjects reported wearing a cloth face mask always or often for two weeks prior to testing positive. The majority. 71 % of the test subjects reported always wearing a doth face mask and 14% reported often wearing a cloth face mask. The only rational conclusion from this study is that cloth face masks offer little if any protection from Covid-19 infection. 6) here are inexpensive. proven therapies for Covid-19 Harvey Risch, MD, PhD heads the Yale University Schoo! of Epidemiology. He authored "The Key to Defeating Covid-19 Already Exists. We Need to Start Using lf\vhich was published in Newsweek Magazine July 23rd , 2020. Dr. Risch documents the proven effectiveness of treating patients 1agnosed with Covid-19 using a combination of Hydroxychloroquine, an antibiotic like azithromycin and the nutritional supplement zinc. Medical Doctors across the globe have reported very positive results using this protocol particularly for early stage Covid patients. 7) The us Death Rate is NOT sPiki.ag

ff Covid-19 was the lethal killer ·rs made out to be one would reasonably expect to see a significant spike 1n the number of deaths reported. But that hasn't happened. According to the CDC as of early May 2020 the total number of deaths in the US was 944,251 from Ja uaty 1 - April 30th. This is actually slightly lower than the number of deaths during the same period in 2017 when 946,067 total deaths were reported. 8) Most Coyjd-19 Deaths Occur at the End of a normal Litespil.ll According to the CDC as of 2017 US males can expect a normal lifespan of 76.1 years and females 81.1 years, A little over 80% of the suspected Covid-19 deaths have occurred in people over age 65. According to a June 28th New York Post article almost half of all Covid suspected deaths have occurred in Nursing Homes which predominately house people with preexisting health conditions and close to or past their normal life expectancy. https://www.globalresearch.ca/nine-covid-facts-pandemic-fearmongering-ignorance/5728067?print=1 1/2 11/1 2/2020 Nine COVID Facts: A Pandemic of Fearmongering and Ignorance -Global ResearchGlobal Research coc Pata Shows Minimal Covid Bisk to Children and Youn ..Adu1m The CDC reported in their September 10th update that it's estimated Infection Mortality Rate (IFR) for children age 0-19 was so low that 99.97 r'o of those infected with the virus survived. For 20-49 year-olds the survival ra te was almost as good at 99.98%. Even those 70 years-old and older had a survival rate of 94.6%. To put this in perspective the CDC data suggest that a child or young adult up to age 19 has a greater chance of death from some type of accident than they do from Covid-19. Taken together it should be obvious that Covid-19 is pretty similar to typical flu viruses that sicken some people annually. The vast majority are abie to successfully fi ght off the virus with their body's natural immune system. Common sense precautions should be taken, particularly by those over age 65 that suffer from preexisting medical conditions. The gross over reaction by government leaders to this illness is causing much more distress, physical, emotional and financial, than the virus ever could on its own. The bottom line is there is NO pandemic, just a typical flu season that has been wildly blown out of proportion by 24/7 media propaganda and enabled by the masses paralyzed by irrational fear. State and local governments in particular have ignored the rights of the people and have instituted outrageous attacks on freedom and liberty that was bought and paid for by the blood and sacnfice of our forefathers. Slowly the people are recognizing the great fraud perpetrated on them by bureaucrats and elected officials who have sworn to uphold rights and freedoms as spelled out in the US Constitution. The time has come to hold these criminals accountable by utilizing the legal system to bring them to justice. Either we act now to preserve freedom and liberty for our children and future generations yet unborn, or we meekly submit to tyrants who crave more power and control. I will not comply!

By Dr. Margarite Griesz-Brisson and Henna Maria Global Research, October 28. 2020 The Wall Will Fall 5 October 2020 Ur1 of this article: ritt~g1oba!researcr. ca 'r;ov d-19-masiuman•ty-rh,!Ji-ah, ,~.,,5 / !60S9

The following is a transcriP..f of the highlig/J.1§_ (by Henna Maria) from Dr. Margarita Griesz-Brisson ·s recent extremely pressing video message, that was translated on-air from German into English by Claudia Stauber. Video at the end of the transcript. Dr. Margarite Griesz-Brisson MD, PhD is a Consultant Neurologist and Neurophysiologist with a PhD in Pharmacology, with special interest in neurotoxicology, environmental medicine, neuroregeneration and neuroplasticity. This is what she has to say about masks and their effects on our brains·

"The rebreathing of our exhaled air will without a doubt create oxygen deficiency and a flooding of carbon dioxide. We know that the human brain is verf sensitive to oxygen depravation. There are nerve cells for example in the hippocampus, that can't be longer than 3 minutes without oxygen - they cannot survive. The acute warning symptoms are headaches, drowsiness. dizziness, issues in concentration, slowing down of the reaction time - reactions of the cognitive system.

Hmvever, when you have chronic oxygen depravation. a!I of those symptoms disappear. because you get used to it. But your efficiency will remain impaired and the undersupply of oxygen in your brain continues to progress. We know that ncurodegenerative diseases take years to decades to develop. If today you forget your phone number, the breakdown in your brain would have already started 20 or 30 years ago. Whi!e you're thinking, that you have gotten used to wearing your mask and rebreathing your own exhaled air, the degenerative processes in your brain are getting amplified as your oxygen deprivation continues. The second problem is that the nerve cells in your brain are unable to divide themselves normally. So in case our governments will generously allow as to get rid of the masks and go back to breathing oxygen freely again in a few months, the lost nerve ceils will no longer be regenerated. What is gone is gone. [ .. ]I do not wear a mask, I need my brain to think. I want to have a clear head when I deal with my patients, and not be in a carbon dioxide induced anaesthesia. [ .. JThere is no unfounded medical exemption from face masks because oxygen deprivation is dangerous for every single brain. It must be the free decision of every human being whether they want to wear a mask that is absolutely ineffective to protect themselves from a virus. For children and adolescents, masks are an absolute no-no. Children and adolescents have an extremely active and adaptive immune system and they need a constant interaction with the microbiome of the Earth. Their brain is also incredibly active, as it is has so much to learn. The child's brain, or the youths brain is thirsting for oxygen. The more metabolically active the organ is, the more oxygen it requires. In children and adolescents every organ is metabolically active. To deprive a child's or an adolescent's brain from oxygen, or to restrict it in any way, is not only dangerous to their health, it is absolutely criminal. Oxygen deficiency inhibits the development of the brain, and the damage that has taken place as a result CANNOT be reversed. The child needs the brain to learn, and the brain needs oxygen to function. We don't need a clinical study for that. This is simple, indisputable physiology. Conscious and purposely induced oxygen deficiency is an absolutely deliberate health hazard, and an absolute medical contraindication.

An absolute medical contraindication in medicine means that this drug, this therapy, this method or measure should not be used - is not allowed to be used. To coerce an entire population to use an absolute medical contraindication by force, there must be definite and serious reasons for this, and the reasons must be presented to competent interdisciplinary and independent bodies to be verified and authorised. When in ten years, dementia is going to increase exponentially, and the younger generations couldn't reach their god-given potential, it won't help to say "we didn't need the masks" [ .. ]How can a veterinarian, a software distributer, a business man, an electrical car manufacturer and a physicist decided on matters regarding the health of the entire population? Please dear colleagues, we all have to wake up. I know how damaging oxygen depravation is for the brain, cardiologist knows it for the heart, the pulmonologist knows it for the lungs. Oxygen depnvation damages every single organ. Where are our health departments, our health insurance, our medical associations? It would have been their duty to be vet-,emently against the lockdown and to stop it and stop it from the very beginning. Why do the medical boards give punishments to doctors who give people exemptions? Does the person or the doctor seriously have to prove that oxygen depravation harms people? What kind of medicine are our doctors and medical associations representing? https://www.globalresearch.ca/covid-19-masks-crime-against-humanity-child-abuse/5726059?print=1 1/2 11/12/2020 COVID-19 Masks Are a Crime Against Humanity and Child Abuse - Global ResearchGlobal Research Who is responsible for this crime?

Are ace asks ective? The Evidence

By Swiss ProRsJganda Research Global Research, October 26, 2020 Swiss PolicY. Researc-h 30 July 2020 Uri of this article:

First published August 4, 2020 1. Studies on the effectiveness of face masks So far, most studies found little to no evidence for the effectiveness of cloth face masks in the general population, neither as personal protective equipment nor as a source control. . A May 2020 meta-study..Q!l pandemic fnfluenza published by the US CDC found that face masks had no effect, neither as personal protective equipment nor as a source control. . A JulY. 2020 review by the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medince found that there is no evidence for the effectiveness of cloth masks against virus infection or transmission. 3. A Covid-19 cross-coun,[Y. studY. by the University of East Anglia came to the conclusion that a mask requirement was of no benefit and could even increase the risk of infection. 4. An bpril 2020 reyjew by two US professors in respiratory and infectious disease from the University of Illinois concluded that face masks have no effect in everyday life, neither as self-protection nor to protect third parties (so-called source control). 5. An article in the New England Journal of Medicine from May 2020 came to the conclusion that cloth face masks ofter little to no Qrotection in everyday life. 6. A JulY. 2020 studY. by Japanese researchers found that cloth masks "offer zero protection against coronavirus" due to their large pore size and generally poor fit. 7. A 2015 study in the British Medical Journal BMJ Open found that cloth masks were penetrated by 97% of particles and may increase infection risk by retaining moisture or repeated use. Additional aspects: Japan, despite its widespread use of face masks, experienced its most recent influenza eQid ~mic with more than 5 million people falling ill just one year ago, in January and February 2019. However, unlike SARS-2, the influenza virus is transmitted by children, too. Several countries and states that introduced mandatory face masks on public transport and in shops in early summer, such as California and Argentinia, nevertheless saw a strong increase in infections from July onwards, indicating a low effectiveness of mask policies. There is 1ncreas1ng evidence that SARS-2 is transmitted, at least indoors, not only by droplets but also by smaller aerosols. However, due to their large pore size, cloth masks cannot filter out aerosols.

The WHO admitted to the BBC that its June 2020 ~ was due not to new evidence but political lobbying~: ·we had been told by various sources WHO committee reviewing the evidence had not backed masks but they recommended t'lem due to political lobbying. This point was put to WHO who did not deny." (Deborah Cohen, BBC Medical Corresponent). 2. Studies claiming face masks are effective Some recent studies argued that cloth face masks are indeed effective against the new coronavirus and could at least prevent the infection of other people. However, most of these studies suffer from poor methodology and sometimes show the opposite of what they claim. Typically. these studies ignore the effect of other measures, the natural development of infection numbers, changes in test activity, or they compare countries with very different conditions. An overview: 1. A German study claimed that the introduction of compulsory masks in German cities had led to a decrease in infections. But the data does not support this: in some cities there was no change, in others a decrease, in others an increase in infections (see graph below). The city of Jena was an 'exception' only because it simultaneously introduced the strictest guarantine rules in Germany, but the study did not mention this. 2. A study in the journal PNAS claimed that masks had led to a decrease in infections in three hotspots (including New York City). This did not take into account the natural decrease in infections and other measures. The study was so flawed that over 40 scientists recommended that the study be withdrawn. 3. A US study claimed that mandatory masks had led to a decrease in infections in 15 states. The study did not take into account that the incidence of infection was already declining in most states at that time. A comparison with other states was not made. 4. A Canadian study claimed that countries with mandatory masks had fewer deaths than countries without mandatory masks. But the study compared African, Latin American, Asian and Eastern European countries with very different infection rates and population structures. 5. A much-cited meta-study in the journal Lancet claimed that masks "could. lead to a reduction in the risk of infection, but the studies considered mainly hospitals (Sars-1 ), medical (not cloth) masks, and the strength of the evidence was reported as "low'" .

Mandatory masks in German cities: no relevant impact. (IZA 2020) 3. Risks associated with face masks Wearing masks for a prolonged period of time is not harmless, as the following evidence shows: 1. The WHO warns of various 'side effects such as difficulty breathing and skin rashes. 2. Tests conducted by the University Hospital of Leipzig in Germany have shown that face masks significantly reduce the resilience and performance of healthy persons. 3. A German psychological study with about 1000 participants found gLJ&r1 ~, ,~... due to the introduction of mandatory face masks in Germany. 4. The Hamburg Environmental Institute warned against the inhalation of chlorine com{}_ounds in polyester masks as well as problems in connection with disposal. 5. The European rapid alert system RAPEX has already recalled 70 mask models because they did not meet EU quality standards and could lead to "serious risks". 6. In China, two boys who had to wear a mask during sports classes fainted and died. 7. In the US, a car driver wearing an N95 (FFP2) mask fainted and crashed into a pole. Conclusion Cloth face masks in the general population might be effective, at least in some circumstances, but there is currently little to no evidence supporting this proposition. If the SARS-2 virus is indeed transmitted via aerosols, at least indoors, cloth masks are unlikely to be protective

Do Face Masks Work? 8 Peer-Reviewed Studies

BY ~~~~ Global Research, September 06, 2020

Uri of this article: fl

Strange though as it may seem, we feel nervous writing this report. Nervous that Google, Twitter, Facebook etc. might deem our site 'less trustworthy' or something similar. Nervous because we could very well become victims of internet censorship perpetrated by the Tech giants like Google et al for touching such a hot button issue with a hint of skepticism. We feel nervous because we fear imminent attacks by the so-called 'fact checkers'. Attacks on our good name because we refuse to tow the establishment line on this subject of acute public interest. Indeed, we live in a strange time when open discussions on extremely important public health issues became taboo. Authoritarian censorship became our New Normal. While authorities around the world mandate face masks, we remain prohibited from discussing its pros and cons. Therefore, in this article we refrain from interjecting any of our own 'non-expert' opinions into this debate. We avoid opposing the so called experts on mainstream media with any of our own viewpoints. Instead, we simply present 8 peer reviewed academic studies on surgical & cloth masks published on . ubMed.gov; and let you the reader draw your own conclusions.

The studies are: 1. PMID: !!21~Q.Q__2 Use of surgical face masks to reduce the incidence of the common cold among health care workers in Japan: a randomized controlled trial Objective: Health care workers outside surgical suites in Asia use surgical-type face masks commonly. Prevention of upper respiratory infection is one reason given, although evidence of effectiveness is lacking. Results: Thirty-two health care workers completed the study. resulting in 2464 subject days. There were 2 colds during this time period, 1 in each group. Of the 8 symptoms recorded daily, subjects in the mask group were significantly more likely to experience headache during the study period (P < .05). Conclusion: Face mask use in health ca re workers has not been demonstrated to provide benefit in terms of cold symptoms or getting colds. A larger study is needed to definitively establish noninferiority of no mask use 2. PMID: 2 092 8 Face masks to prevent transmission of influenza virus: a systematic review Objective: Many national and international health agencies recommended the use of face masks during the 2009 influenza A (H1N1) pandemic. We reviewed the English-language literature on this subject to inform public health preparedness. Results: There is some evidence to support the wearing of masks or respirators during illness to protect others, and public health emphasis on mask wearing during illness may help to reduce influenza virus transmission. There are fewer data to support the use of masks or respirators to prevent becoming infected. Conclusion: Further studies in controlled settings and studies of natural infections in healthcare and community settings are required to better define the effectiveness of face masks and respirators in preventing influenza viru~ transmission. 3. PMID: 22188d75 The use of masks and respirators to prevent transmission of influenza: a systematic review of the scientific evidence Objective: There are hm1ted data on the use of masks and respirators to reduhce transm1ss1on of mfluenza. A systematic review was undertaken to help inform pandemic influenza guidance in the United Kingdom. Results: Six of eight randomised controlled trials found no significant differences between control and intervention groups (masks with or without hand hygiene; N95/P2 respirators) .... Eight of nine retrospective observational studies found that mask and/or respirator use was independently associated with a reduced risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) ... .h owever, these estimates were derived from the analyses of six SARS studies whose methodology was problematic. Conclusion: None of the studies established a conclusive relationship between mask/respirator use and protection against influenza infection .. .. There is a limited evidence base lo support the use of masks and/or respirators in healthcare or community settings. 4. PMID: 15340662 The physiological impact of wearing an N95 mask during hemodialysis as a precaution against SARS in patients with end-stage renal disease

https://www.globalresearch.ca/do-face-masks-wor1<-8-peer-reviewed-studies/5723124 ?print= 1 1/3 11 /12/2020 Do Face Masks Work? 8 Peer-Reviewed Studies - Global ResearchGlobal Research Objective: This study investigated the physiological impact of wearing an N95 mask during hemodialysis (HD) on patients with ' ESRD.

Results: Thirty nine patients (23 men; mean age, 57.2 years) were recruited for participation in the study. Seventy percent of the patients showed a reduction in partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), and 19% developed various degrees of hypoxemia. Conclusion: Wearing an N95 mask for 4 hours during HD significantly reduced PaO2 and increased respiratory adverse effects · in ESRD patients. 5. PMID: 32406064 Short-term skin reactions following use of N95 respirators and medical masks Objective: To analyze the short-term effects of N95 respirators and medical masks, respectively, on skin physiological properties and to report adverse skin reactions caused by the protective equipment. Results: Skin hydration. TEWL, and pH increased significantly with wearing the protective equipment. Erythema values increased from baseline. Sebum secretion increased both on the covered and uncovered skin with equipment-wearing. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that skin biophysical characters change as a result of wearing a mask or respirator. N95 respirators were associated with more skin reactions than medical masks. 6. PMID: .3. " (full Paper on Vi Medic J urnals) Cloth masks versus medical masks for COVID-19 protection Objective: Global shortage of medical masks is a real and expanding problem. In turn, there is growing availability on the market of cloth masks. This is a study on the comparison of the efficacy of cloth masks to medical masks in the context of viral infections. Results: Laboratory tests showed the penetration of partjcles through the doth masks to be very high (97%) compared with medical masks (44%). A consequence of the above penetration is also a higher risk of critical care illness, the influenza- -like illness is more significant in the cloth mask group than in the medical mask. Moreover, the rate of confirmation of laboratory confirmed viruses was also much higher for cloth masks than for medical masks or groups that did not wear any mask. Conclu ion: Cloth masks don't protect as well as medical masks. Moreover, the physical properties of a cloth mask, reuse, the frequency and effectiveness of cleaning, and increased moisture retention, may potentially increase the infection risk, since, as it indicated by Osterholm et al. [7] the virus may survive on the surface of the facemasks. In this context self contamination through repeated use and improper doffing is possible. Observations during SARS suggested double masking and other practices increased the risk of infection because of moisture, liquid diffusion and pathogen retention [8].

7. PMID: A cluster randomised trial of cloth masks compared with medical masks in healthcare workers

ObJective: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of cloth masks to medical masks in hospital healthcare workers (HCWs). The null hypothesis is that there is no difference between medical masks and cloth masks. Results: The rates of all infection outcomes were highest in the cloth mask arm, with the rate of ILi statistically significantly higher in the cloth mask arm .... Penetration of cloth masks by particles was almost 97% and medical masks 44%. Conclusions: This study is the first RCT of cloth masks, and the results caution against the use of cloth masks. This is an important finding to inform occupational health and safety. Moisture retention, reuse of cloth masks and poor filtration may result in increased risk of infection. 8. PMIO: 325· 3 0 A study on infectivity of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers Objective: It is debatable whether asymptomatic COVID-19 virus carriers are contagious. We report here a case of the asymptomatic patient and present clinical characteristics of 455 contacts, which aims to study the infectivity of asymptomatic carriers. Results: The median contact time for patients was four days and that for family members was five days .. . The blood counts in most contacts were within a normal range. All CT images showed no sign of COVID-19 infection. No severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections was detected in 455 contacts by nucleic acid test. Conclusion: In summary, all the 455 contacts were excluded from SARS-CoV-2 infection and we conclude that the infectivity of some asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers might be weak.

So, do masks work? Well, as shown in studies "-'-' 2 and ,L,::, above, the claim 'masks prevent viral infections· remains far from settled. All three papers point to a lack of conclusive studies demonstrating the effectiveness of face masks in preventing viral infections. Ifs also important to note that studies and _ specifically examine all available peer reviewed papers on face masks efficacies; and they both unanimously state that no study established a conclusive relationship between mask/respirator use and protection against viral infections.

Moreover, as we can see from studies , ~ and , negative and harmful side effects of mask usage remain undeniable. From headaches, skin reactions to hypoxemia, prolonged use of masks carries inescapable harmful consequences. Furthermore, authorities around the world recommend we use cloth masks. On its face, considering the potential shortage of surgical and N95 masks, this recommendation seems reasonable. However, when we examine studies done specifically on cloth masks, we quickly realize not only do cloth masks offer almost no conclusive benefits against viral spreads (upto 97% particles hltps.//www.globalresearch.ca/do-face-masks-work-8-peer-reviewed-studies/5723124 ?printaa 1 2/3 11/12/2020 Do Face Masks Work? 8 Peer-Reviewed Studies - Global ResearchGlobal Research .. penetration), usage of cloth masks may also introduce considerable risk of doing more harm than good. As demonstrated in studies #b and '1 . using cloth masks can actually make it more likely that someone would catch viral infections. Besides, the entire premise of mask mandates rests upon the notion of 'spread by asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers'; that asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers can and do spread the virus. Yet, we can see from study & that infectivity of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers appears anything but certain. In fact, the study could not find a single infection occurring among 455 contacts of asymptomatic COVID19 patients. So, do masks really work? Should we all wear them? Well, this article didn't set out to make any recommendations for or against using face masks. However, judging from the peer-reviewed science documented above, no one in their right mind should make bold recommendations to use face masks; specially not cloth masks and definitely not for prolonged periods of time. And therefore, making them mandatory would simply seem insane to any sane person. Yet, all mainstream media outlets zealously recommend face masks and cloth masks with prophetic confidence. And due to surgical and N95 masks shortage, authorities, in essence, mandate cloth masks for millions around the world. Even a large portion of the general public have been conditioned so effectively by the mainstream media and the medical authorities, that they often display a form of panic driven hysteria upon seeing someone not wearing a mask. Yet, anyone following legitimate published science can easily come to a very logical - and sensible - conclusion to not wear masks to prevent viral infections. Therefore. instead of asking: do masks work? perhaps we should be asking: should masks be mandatory?

Boris Borovoy, Colleen Huber, Maria Crisler

Abstract

Face masks have come into common use in many countries since mid-2020, for all age groups. Some aspect of this may be voluntary, but certainly much of this use is either accompanied by force, threats, su btle coercion, or a continuum of subtle to fierce societal pressures on the individua l to conform to mask-wearing. From widespread fear of COVID-19, associated with t he virus named SARS-CoV2, mask-wearing is recently assumed by many to be a prudent measure against contagion. In this paper, the second in our series, we continue our examination of the potential hazards of masks, in which we now turn attention to microbial contamination from masks and mask use, ch anges in oral and nasal microbiota, and potential risks to the lungs and other organ systems from microbial fact ors. Because widespread masking is a very new society wide experiment, the impact of this experiment, the obstruction of airways from free breathing and a typical air exchange interplay with oral microbiota is not yet known. Furthermore, the effects of such changes in the lungs and beyond are not yet known. This paper will explore some considerations of these changes, by examining mask effectiveness against transmission, historical evidence of epidemiology from the 1918-1919 pandemic, microbial contamination, respiratory disease and the role of oral bacteria in systemic disease; and infections involving fungi, ye ast, and molds. Compiling statist ical and scientific evidence from these subjects alone should help equip any individual with adequate information on risks and benefits when choosing whether to wear a mask.

Are masks effective in preventing transmission of infection and are there unintended consequences when wearing them?

Face masks have been adopted by the public of several countries in 2020, with astonishing speed. Conflicting instructions from public health authorities left individual citizens unsure of whether to wear a mask, such that relying on gathered commentary from media and acquaintances in order to make such a decision has become standard. When an individual's preferences are not well formed, merely observing another person makes the option chosen by the other person a social default, that is more likely to be chosen by the observer also.1

Concerns regarding use of masks among the public have been voiced by many medical professionals. Over 2,000 Belgian medical professionals, including hundreds of medical doctors, have urged prevention of COVID-19 by means of strengthening natural immunity. Their recommendations, among other measures, include specifically to exercise in fresh air without a mask. 2 A number of reasons for this concern have been raised. In this paper, we will examine specifically microbial concerns with regard to mask-wearing.

1 Masks have been shown through overwhelming clinical evidence to have no effect against transmission of viral pathogens.3 Penetration of cloth masks by viral particles was almost 97% and of su rgical masks was 44%.4 Even bacteria, approximately ten times the volume of coronaviruses, have been poorly impeded by both cloth masks and disposable surgical masks. Face masks became almost ineffective after two hours of use, and after 150 minutes of use, more bacteria was emitted through the disposable mask than from the same subject unmasked.5 One must wonder, if new masks worn by healthcare workers, that are soiled by wear during a work shift, transmit more bacteria to patients than from an unmasked healthcare worker, then what is happening to the lungs of the mask-wearer?

Use of personal protective equipment (PPE} has long been debated for healthcare workers regarding their interactions wit h patients who are carrying highly pathogenic organisms, and this study found about half of even trained healthcare workers in clinical settings make at least one protocol deviation in donning and doffing PPE. 6 Certainly the general public without such training is likely to have a higher rate of similar or more egregious errors in PPE protocol. Masks have been determined to be unnecessary even in surgica l settings, and of no benefit in preventing infections.7 In fact, "The rate of wound infections [while unmasked] was less than half what it was when everyone wore masks." Oral microbial flora dispersed by unmasked healthcare workers standing one meter from the workspace failed to contaminate exposed plates on t hat su rface. 8

Let us also examine the entire surface area of the masked person when considering that person's potential for transmitting pathogens. Facemasks generally only cover the lower half of t he face, which we kn ow from studying burn vict ims is less than 2% of the ent ire body surface area. 9 We know that numbers of airborne bacteria expelled from the upper airway are insignificantly small compared with the volume of bacteria shed from the skin.10 The bacteria shed from the skin of mask wearers was found to create more contamination than from non mask wearers, presumably due to shifting, wiggling and increased rubbing and exfoliation.1112

The challenge to the masked person is that the lungs normally expel bacteria with freely exhaled breath, a necessary exhaust system not previously challenged throughout human or even vertebrate history with deliberate obstruction. In this paper we also explore both the effect of masks on microbial transmission as well as the risks and demonstrated problems of re directed and re-inhaled bacteria and other microbes into the airways.

Are masks effective in preventing transmission of COVID-19 in particular?

COVID-19 is a remarkably low transmissibility disease. This paper shows patterns of t ransmission to close contacts from t hose who tested posit ive for SARS CoV2 in New South Wales high schools and primary schools. From 18 initial positive tests, only 2 out of 863 close contacts tested positive as a secondary case. 13

2 In July 2020, the Council of Foreign Relations conducted a survey of 25 countries, with the following question to their citizens:

"Have you always worn a face mask outside the home in the last seven days?" The "Yes" responses ranged from 1% in Finland and Denma rk, to 93% in Singapore. 14

We then examined each of the same 25 countries for prevalence of mask use versus Covid-19 deaths per 1 million population. This dat a was gathered from Worldometers statistics. 15 Th at data is shown in Table 1, also represented in Graph 1.

As we see from the above data, there was no significant correlation with mask use and either increase or reduction of deaths from COVID-19; thus masking could not have caused a significant reduction in deaths. In fact, two of the countries with the highest COVID-19 deaths also had high rates of mask use: Spain at 87% mask use and Brazil at 90% mask use. Again, masking could not have caused a significant reduction in deaths.

Another table presented from Worldometers data also demonstrates the rate of positive COVID-19 PCR tests per one million population in the same 25 countries surveyed. This data is reported in Table 2 and Gra ph 2.

Contrary to data in table 1, we do see a significant trend in table 2. Curve-fitting a trend line, we see a positive slope for this line of 37.536. That is, for every increased percentage point of mask use in a country, there were an average of 37.536 additional positive PCR tests per one million population. This shows that masking has not accomplished the advertised function of

5 reducing the number of positive PCR tests, but rather seems to be correlated with an increased number of positive PCR tests for COVID-19.

The historical role of bacteria in a viral pandemic

It is not at all an anomaly for fatal pneumonia to follow coronavirus infections.16 Indeed, historical data support a correlation between pandemic and bacterial pneumonia. It is thought that the majority of deaths in the 1918-1919 pandemic "likely resulted directly from secondary bacterial pneumonia caused by common upper respiratory-tract bacteria." 17 Histopathology of lung tissue sections from that time reveal, "in virtually all cases, compelling histologic evidence of severe acute bacterial pneumonia, either as the predominant pathology or in conjunction [with influenza]." Histological evidence revealed presence of bacterial pneumonia, including bronchopneumonia. Lobar consolidation characteristic of pneumococcal pneumonia, as well as pathognomonic characteristics of streptococcal and staphylococca~ pneumoniae were found. In fact, there were no negative lung culture results in any of the specimens. "Bacteria were commonly observed in the sections, often in massive numbers." In fact the bacterial damage was extensive. Vasculitis, capillary thrombosis and necrosis surrounding areas of bronchiolar damage were found. And "without this secondary bacterial pneumonia, experts generally believed that most patients would have recovered." 18

Interestingly the above-cited paper that found a majority of 1918-1919 pandemic deaths to be from bacterial pneumonia was co-authored by Anthony Fauci, MD who has been tasked with advising the US on proper res ponse to the 2020 COVID-19 pa ndemic, yet he has not publicly discussed this precedented risk of bacterial pneumonia in 2020, even having performed extensive research himself. It is also known that the 1918-1919 pandemic was the last time that human societies experimented with widespread long-term masking. As now, healthy people were made to wear masks, and it is thought by some that there would have been no pandemic in 1918 without masking.

One historian writes, "The quarantine, isolation and mask-wearing failed to diminish the spread of the influenza . Instead the practices likely increased fatality and had disastrous economic consequences. The medical policy of 1918 was contrary to the medical science of 1918, and the destructive practices of quarantine, isolation and mask-wearing were largely abandoned." 20

The harm extended to the next generation. Subsequent health outcomes included increased prevalence of heart disease in infants born in 1919. 21

7 Microbial contamination of and from masks

Bacteria are on average ten times the size of viruses, particularly coronaviruses, and have less penetration through masks. 22 Therefore, at least part of the re-circulated flow of bacteria in aerosolized and droplet exhalation does not escape the vicinity of the oral and nasal environment. Bacteria and other microbes are not only retained in this space, but masks themselves are warm, moist repositories of these microbes.

Laboratory testing of used masks from 20 train commuters revealed that 11 of the 20 masks tested contained over 100,000 bacterial colonies. Molds and yeasts were also found. Three of the masks contained more than one million bacterial colonies. 23 Because such particles have been cultured from masks, they are expected to remain fully available to the airways while a mask is worn.

The outside surfaces of surgical masks were found to have high levels of the following microbes, even in hospitals, more concentrated on the outside of masks than in the environment.24 Staphylococcus species (57%} and Pseudomonas spp (38%) were predominant among bacteria, and Penicillium spp {39%) and Aspergillus spp. {31%} were the predominant fungi. These correlated with the same bacteria and fungi found in samples of the ambient air where the masks were worn.25

Evidence is still not abundant of injury from mask-carried microbes due to the experimental and newly adopted practice of widespread masking. Even in Asia, where public use of masks had been more common than in the west, masks were generally only worn by those who had to travel in public while suffering a respiratory illness or those suffering from seasonal pollen allergies. Without regard to the 1918-1919 epidemic, widespread masking is new again in 2020.

We further demonstrate absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Decades of clinical evidence have attributed a variety of moderate and severe pathologies to microbes that originate in the mouth and nose, as we discuss in this paper.

The mechanism of pathology originating from masks is likely as follows: Microbe-carrying droplets, trapped in masks, stay damp while the mask is worn, whereas without a mask, exhaled droplets and aerosol are known to dry quickly. In the continually damp environment of the mask, bacteria start to proliferate, are re-inhaled and then transferred throughout the body, as discussed below.

Bacteria are exhaled through masks at an increasing rate over the time of use. 26 Outward penetration of masks by bacteria is made worse by the plosive force of coughing, sneezing and talking loudly. Scatter mechanics from the mesh of the mask and resulting chaotic collisions of aerosolized droplets in turn produce a wider contaminated airspace outside the masked mouth than outside the unmasked mouth, in the same way that a screen placed under a faucet disperses the water falling through it.

8 Cloth mask wearers had significantly higher influenza-like illness when compared to unmasked.27 This meta-analysis found no benefit of masks against transmission of laboratory confirmed influenza, in analysis of 14 randomized controlled trials. 28

James Meehan MD reports seeing patients clinically that have facial rashes, fungal infections, bacterial infections. "Reports coming from my colleagues from all over the world, are suggesting that the bacterial pneumonias are on the rise." Dr. Meehan reports that this is "because untrained members of the public are wearing medical masks repeatedly . .. in a non sterile fashion." 29

Recently, a group A strep throat outbreak of unusual size in Michigan public schools where masks are mandatory was reported during the week before this writing.30 A number of factors may be involved in this outbreak. Not only are students being forced to wear masks, but also schools were closed during lockdown long enough to possibly allow buildup of microbes in their ventilation systems. The problem may be compounded by masks damaging immunity, not being properly washed, poor training of PPE use, or even trapping Streptococcus while forcibly trying to inhale and exhale. After all, deeper inhalat ion, as we know happens with mask wearing, cou ld have produced a concerning hea lth hazard.

What may be an even more intractable health hazard is the vast range of possibilities where normally colonized strains of oral and nasal bacteria interact with newer virulent strains in the favorable incubating environment of face masks. The possibility of superstrains and their consequences in the population will likely eclipse the effects and the incidence of the relatively mild COVID-19 virus (estimated IFR 0.01531),, as we have seen from the autopsies discussed above of the 1918-1919 pandemic victims.

Respiratory diseases from oral bacteria

CPAP has been used for decades, but universal masking is very new. We know that wearing the CPAP mask has led to life-threatening Legionella pneumonia as well as Streptococcus infections.32 This disproves the hypothesis that microbial growth on masks is always benign.

Aspiration pneumonia is a consequence of oral bacteria aspirated into the lungs. The teeth and gums are reservoirs for respiratory pathogens.33 34 Oral dysbiosis is a disordered ecosystem of commensal as well as pathogenic bacteria in the mouth. Dental caries and periodontal disease are common results of such dysbiosis. One dental practice estimates that 50% of their patients are suffering from mask-induced dental problems, including decaying teeth, receding gum lines and "seriously sour breath."35 The dentists theorize that these new oral infections are mostly caused by the tendency for people to mouth-breathe while wearing a mask, which is not consistent wit h the evolution of the form and functionality of the airways of humans or any other species.

9 The oral flora is known to comprise over 700 bacterial species, inhabiting the epit helial debris, nutrients and oral secretions in the oral environment. Streptococci, lactobacilli and staphylococci are among the most common of these bacteria. Together, they comprise the biofilm that coats the surfaces of the oral cavity. Clearly, the bacteria benefit from the host, but the host may also benefit from the bacteria and contribute to our immunity by the production of secretory antibodies against new pathogens. The commensal relationship of oral flora with the host is generally benign and stable, unless the same bacteria achieve access to deeper tissues and blood. A number of serious and life-threatening diseases result when this happens.

Bacteria that live in the mouth and upper respiratory tract may be aspirated and ca use infection in the lungs. We know that mask-wearers have greater inspiratory flow than non-mask wearers. 36 This is presumably due to the hypoxic condition of mask obstruction to the airways. As a result, microbes may be more likely to be aspirated while wearing a mask than not wearing one.

Damage to the airways results from bacterial colonization. When bacteria localize to the site(s} of infections in the respiratory tract and induce local airway inflammation, epithelial damage results. Such damage only requires bacterial colonization of the airways to begin this process, and to progress to bacterial-induced chronic airway inflammation.37 This process begins with resident bacteria in oral secretions being aspirated and then adhering to the respiratory epithelium. These stimulate cytokine production and inflammation.38 ln fact, the very same periodontopathic bacteria are involved in the pathogenesis of respiratory diseases. These may be some of the diseases implicated in COVID-19.39 Conversely, oral hygiene measures have correlated with improved outcomes in pneumonia patients40 and those generally with respiratory tract infections, 41 as well as other lung diseases, such as COPD. 42

Infections don't only take hold from one species of pathogenic microbes. A pathogenic synergy can result in the flourishing of a particular pathogen. This was found to be the case with Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans together with Streptococcus gordonii, both of which are commonly found in the mouth and in its abscesses. 43 With the concentration and culturing of microbes on the surface of a mask, is this pathogenic synergy made more likely while wearing a mask?

Systemic diseases from oral and nasal bacteria

When oral bacteria gain access to blood and deep tissues, they may cause pneumonia, abscesses in lung tissue, subacute bacterial endocarditis, sepsis and meningitis. 44 It is important to consider that endocarditis can be a lifelong infection. Strep pyogenes bacteria has been observed for decades to cause irreversible fibrosis in heart tissue long after the bacteria were no longer found.45 This bacteria is known by many as "flesh eating strep" . Former Streptococcus infections that had seemingly resolved a long time ago may still be positive in an

10 Antistreptolysin O test. For years afterward, flares of toxins can be released in the body at times of stress or secondary infection and cause debilitating symptoms.

Additionally Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases have been the result of oral bacteria gaining access to deeper tissue.46 These are among the diseases reported as co morbidities associated with an increased risk of death attributed to COVID-19. COPD47 and in this enormous st udy, ca ncer ca n also resu lt simply from the access of oral bacteria to deeper t issue.48

Immune-mediated inflammatory disorders, commonly known as auto-immune diseases are correlated with oral dysbiosis. We know that transient bacteria from an oral infection or a dental procedure can gain access to the blood for systemic circulation. Those bacteria can produce toxins that trigger tissue damage or other pathological changes. These molecules may react with antibodies that produce large complexes, which are associated with acute and chronic inflammatory changes. 49 so Such auto-immune diseases as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjogren's syndrome all have feat ures of oral dys biosis. 51

Autoimmune encephalitis occurs when microbes access brain tissue, triggering neurological or psychiatric symptoms. This complex of diseases include basal ganglia encephalitis, and can be triggered by bacterial, viral and fungal infections. Some of the most pernicious of th is group of diseases is pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections (PANDAS). Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a very common illness, and the most common bacterial infectious agent of sore throat, "strep throat," and is one of the microbial agents involved in PANDAS. GAS causes one million t o 2.6 million cases of strep throat ea ch year.52

Repeated infections in the nasal cavity can lead to Thl and Th17 lymphocytes in the surrounding nasal tissue. These are pro-inflammatory and target host cells in a misdirected immune response. The Th17 cells travel into the brain along the olfactory nerves, through the cribriform plate from the nose or throat or palate and into the brain. These in turn stimulate cytokines, which then stimulate microglia. The endothelial cells in the blood brain barrier are broken down by damaging both the tight junctions in the endothelium, and by increasing transcytosis of auto-antibodies that are circulating in the blood to access the brain. This mechanism has been shown to lead to the abrupt onset of neurological and psychiatric symptoms associated with the PANDAS diagnosis.53

Our nasal passages are colonized by Staphylococcus bacteria, among other organisms. Under typical circumstances, these pose no threat to the individual; however, Mayo Clinic has warned, (although this statement has now been erased from their site):

"A growing number of otherwise healthy people are developing life threatening staph infections because of mask wearing. 1154

11 One of the risks of mask wearing is that masks maintain bacteria in greater numbers and for a longer period of time. This increases the risk of those bacteria entering the respiratory system and/or blood stream through micro wounds.

The following are some of the diseases and conditions that may result. Bacteremia is a condition in which bacteria can travel to internal organs, muscle, bone and prosthetic devices. Toxic shock syndrome is a condition in which some strains of Staphylococcus produce toxins that create high fever, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. Septic arthritis occurs when staph bacteria infect the joints, which may result in pain, swelling and fever.

The risk of pericarditis caused by staphylococcus has been known since at least 1945.55 This life-threatening disease has been treated with prolonged antibiotic therapy and aggressive drainage of the pericardium,56 and, in severe cases, surgical resection of the pericardium.57 Purulent pericarditis is the most serious consequence of bacterial pericarditis, and is always fatal if untreated. Even in treated patients the mortality rate is 40%. 58

Streptococcus is a commensal organism of the oral mucosa, and is the most common infective agent causing endocarditis.59 It is not so unusual for oral Streptococci to gain access to the bloodstream, and oral Streptococci comprise more than half of colonies cultured from blood following dental procedures. "Oral streptococcal bacteremia is frequently associated with the development of septic shock and death."60

Cardiovascular and rheumatological outcomes from mask-wearing are unlikely to be realized in the United States for at least several months due to the recentness of mask wearing; although we can learn from the history of prevalence of cardiovascular disease many years after the 1918-1919 forced masking pandemic described previously. These are enormous concerns on the horizon for future public health considerations.

12 Infections involving fungi, yeast and molds

Aspergillosis is an infection of the lungs by the spores of the Aspergillus fumigatus fungus. These spores are ubiquitous in the environment, indoors and outdoors, and are usually harmless. There are many environmental sources of Aspergillus. Decaying leaves and compost in the outdoors around trees and plants, as well as indoors in bathrooms are common locations of Aspergillus. These spores may be inhaled by those with weakened immune systems and can be a cause or a result of bronchiectasis.61 This is a chronic airway infection syndrome, and as indicated above, a risk from inhaled fibers. Fungal fibers may be inhaled and accumulate as fungal ba lls known as aspergillomas. At its worst, Aspergillosis can proceed to systemic infection, with consequences to the brain, heart and kidneys. Invasive aspergillosis spreads rapidly and may be fatal.

Aspergillus as well as candida also produce gliotoxins, which are immunosuppressive toxins that in turn enable proliferation of candida. The mechanism of immunosuppression appears to be by alteration of the structure and function of PMN neutrophils. 62

It is possible that a warm moist environment, such as a mask worn outdoors or in bathrooms may pick up and harbor fungal spores as well as particulate and/or loose fibers. This is normally not a concern for a healthy person or an unmasked person. When mold spores are inhaled by a healthy person, immune system cells surround and destroy them. Masks provide an alternative environment whereby mold and fungi are held and trapped beyond typical airborne levels. When maintained over the airways, this can create a risk for the mask-wearer. Simply, if the masks retain fungal spores, these may be dislodged with inhalat ion.

13 Conclusion

Masks have been shown consistently over time and throughout the world to have no significant preventative impact against any known pathogenic microbes. Specifically, regarding COVID-19, we have shown in this paper that mask use is not correlated with lower death rates nor with lower positive PCR tests.

Masks have also been demonstrated historically to contribute to increased infections within the respiratory tract. We have examined the common occurrence of oral and nasal pathogens accessing deeper tissues and blood, and potential consequences of such events. We have demonstrated from the clinical and historical data cited herein, we conclude the use of face masks will contribute to far more morbidity and mortality than has occurred due to COVID-19.

Are children and youth affected by COVID-19? Wearing masks is mandatory for all, especially at school for children and adolescents from the age of 11 [1J. Mandatory social distance. Continuous hand washing with hydroalcoholic gels. Young people must remain masked and keep their distance from their peers, not to mention the permanent fear spearheaded by all these extreme measures. Several competent people, scientists, doctors, say that the COVID-19 pandemic is over [2], that we now have a high number of positive PCR tests beeau e the are"too sen itive [~-4], but that COVID disease is disappearing, as evidenced by the decrease in deaths and the disappearance of seriot.Jsly ill or even hospitalized patients, especially because o mutations in the virus, which has become less virulent [5-6). In the world: -

(© DailY. new confirmed COVID-19 deaths Rer million ReORle , Our World in data, Europe, Sept 13, 2020) Being myself a hospital doctor in intensive care in Belgium , I can attest to the near disappearance of the COVID-19 disease. Moreover, as pediatric professors Christele Gras-Le Guen, vice-president of the French Society of Pediatrics, and Regis Hankard, coordinator of the Pedstart pediatric clinical research network, testify in this article [7], COVID-19 is not a disease that concerns children. They are adamant; "Covid-19 is definitely not a pediatric disease." "The idea that emerges from these observations is that children must not be subjected to drastic measures, painni' to 1ve with, that could disrupt their daily lives, when this microbe really is of little concern to them." [7] Wearing a mask for 8 hours in a row, seeing their teacher masked, being cut off from their facial expressions, their smile, being unable to hear their explanations correctly, being frustrated in their sociability could correspond to these draconian measures, painful to live wit•• which coul upset theirdaijy life, when this microbe barely-concerns1hem"? It is important to understand from several studies in different countries that children an adolescents are virtually unaffected by COVID-19 and that theiuole in.the transmission of the virus in the populatiool s minimal [8- -'f0-11]. In this study from the Netherlands : "The new coronavirus is mainly spread among adults, and from adults in the family to children• [12]. Not the other way around. •ve.ry few cases ottraAsmission {of C0\110-19) have been observed.ln sc~o-~ls.: fl:3] This is confirmed here: CHILDREN DO NOT TRANSMIT COVID19: 400 articles all confirm, without exception, that Covid 19 is rare and afmostalways-bentgrrin ch1lclrerr, that childrerruncler 19 are not on aminated by schoolmates but by parents at home that they do not contaminate adults, and that the confinement of children js responsible fer frequent behavioural and social psychoiogical disorders in addition tcnrcfearrregative impact 011 their schooling. As Dr. Antonio Lazzarino (University College London UCL Institute of Epidemiology and Health Care) says in response to an article in the British Medical Journal [14] (BMJ) : "Before introducing clinical and public health measures, all potential side effects of these measures should be identified and described, and only then should it be decided whether they are more beneficial than harmful. "[15] Wearing a face mask can give a false sense of security [16]. This view is shared by the Public Health Agency in Denmark [17]. https://www.globalresearch.ca/wearing-the-face-mask-who-is-putting-our-children-at-risk-sars-cov-2-or-the-actions-of-our-govemments/5723961 ?print=1 1/7 11/13/2020 Wearing the Face Mask: Who is Putting our Children at Risk, SARS-CoV-2 or the Actions of our Governments? - Global ResearchGloba .. . ( ' Wearing a mask leads to problems of hygiene that far outweigh the benefits of this measure: To guarantee the effectiveness of a mask, people must not touch the mask, must change the single-use mask frequently or wash it regularly and properly, place it on the face in a tight way, otherwise the risk of contamination may increase sharply. [18] In 2015, a study [19] looked at the frequency with which we touch our face (very often unconsciously). The subject studied was the transmission of respiratory infections and staphylococcus aureus (bacteria much larger than a virus).

(© Face touching : A freguent habit that has 1mr,ilications for hand hygiene ) On average, we touch our mouth 4x per hour and our nose 3x per hour. This is increased with the continuous wearing of a mask due to the irritation and itching caused. Can you imagine, with children?

This is even more of a problem since it has been shown that the uM,n. ..c,~vo - vims tends t accumulate on the outer surface of thE. mask [20]. So the virus will get on the hands and contamination will flare up. Let us continue in this demonstration that the problems related to the mandatory and continuous wearing of the mask by everyone, especially by children and adolescents, ·s more problematic than beneficial. Talking with a mask can lead to talking much louder, thus projecting droplets further away through our masks, or bringing two people closer together, forgetting the required distance of two meters. Wearing a mask directs a good part of the exhaled air towards the eyes, which, in addition to generating an uncomfortable sensation, can lead to touching our eyes even more, 3x per hour in normal times, much more with a mask (source of viral and bacterial contamination via the conjunctiva). If your hands are contaminated, then you will be contaminated through this gesture, which is facilitated by wearing a mask, and you will contaminate everything you touch. ne phys1car and physio ogfcal prob ems caus-ed by ffieomandatory and continuous wearing ofa mask. Many doctors report an increase in infectious skin problems (impetigo, staphylococcal infections) and eye problems (conjunctivitis) in children and ults, which are far from being harmless. Doctors are also observing an increase in respiratory problems such as asthmatiform bronchitis. All this is related to the continuous wearing ot tfie mask No matter what some people say, a face mask that is worn mostly continuously makes breathing difficult. For people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD}, people who already have difficulty breathing at rest, masks quickly become unbearable because they increase their feeling of suffocation (21]. In addition, a fraction of the exhaled CO2 is re-inhaled with each respiratory cycle. This negligible effect in a healthy person can cause problems in more fragile people. COPD is characterized by a certain degree of hypercapnia (elevation of partial blood pressure in CO2 or capnia). These two phenomena, a feeling of suffocation and increased capnia, can lead to an increase in breathing frequency and an amplification of breathing movements. thus increasing the amount of air inhaled and exhaled with each breath. This can, paradoxically, increase the risk of spread of SARS-CoV-2 if one of these infected or carrier persons breathes harder because of the mask, which is precisely what we want to avoid. Most importantly, the mask, in these infected COPD patients, may worsen their clinical condition, as their increased inhalation efforts may introduce more viral material into their lungs [15]. There were 251 million COPD patients worldwide in 2016 [22j. https .//www.globalresearch.caiwearing-the-face-mask-who-is-putting-our-children-at-risk-sars-cov-2-or-the-actions-of-our-governments/5723961?print=1 217 t1/13/2020 Wearing the Face Mask: Who is Putting our Children at Risk, SARS-CoV-2 or the Actions of our Governments? - Global ResearchGloba . Furthermore, despite media intoxication daiming the contrary, yes, the continuous wearing of a mask, even more so if worn correctly (tightly). for hours on e.nd., can lead fo a decrease in tire partTal pra0ssure of the blood In oxy9en or PaO2. A study published in 2012 evaluated the effect of prolonged surgical mask wear on the health of 53 Turkish surgeons (23}. These were previously healthy individuals.

(© The guise oximeter ) This curve is the hemoglobin dissociation curve. The partial pressure of oxygen in the arterial blood (PaO2) determines the saturation (SpO2). A decrease in SpO2 of 10 (100 to 90%) corresponds to a decrease in PaO2 of 40 (100 to 60 mm Hg). " The researchers conclude that their results show the potential clinical impact of prolonged mask wear on respiration. i The decrease in SpO2 was most pronounced with surgeons over 35 years of age. Masks create a humid climate because the exhaled air is heated and humidified and this moisture (water vapor) is captured and concentrated by the mask in front of the nose and mouth. ro·s humid environment is favorable to SARS-CoV-2..which remains active and this will increase the vjral load near the nose and mouth.

There is a lack of official recognition in the media or in government reports of all the deleterious effects of the continuous wearing of ,asks, a-s if the most important thing is to do everything possible to get people to allow themselves o be masked, regardiess of tbe consequences. This particularly concerns children and adolescents whose brains, especially emotional and relational brains. are iniulh:ievelopment! Children depend largely on faclal expressions to understand and apprehen their environment [25]. Hiding the lower half of the face diminishes the ability to communicate, interpret and imitate the expressions of those we come into contact with. Positive· emotions become less recognrza le and negative emo ions are amplified, Emotional mimicry, contagion.. and emotionality in general are. reduced as well as teacher-student bonding, group cohesion and learning - of which emotions are a maJor driver. The benefits and risks associated with the continued wearing of masks at school should be seriously studied, considered and made clear and obvious to all teachers, parents and students (26}. From a medical and human perspective, it is serious that our rulers do not report these complications and do not take them into account before dictating their measures to the population. Alternatives exist to the continuous wearing of masks. Viral particles pcesentin the air are sensitive to ambient temperature and humidity and are inactivated by the sun's UV rays (27]. They will be diluted more qoickly"outside. Running courses outdoors or in indoor courtyards is one solution to consider. This is confirmed in the excellent review on masks, Mask Facts (28} , published on the website of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. Just by opening a door, a window, the droplets of virus aerosols can be cut in half in 30 seconds (29}! This is further affirmed by 241 scientists (30) who emphasize the need for proper air ventilation in workplaces, buildings, schools, bospitals and nursing homes.

The short. medium and long term negative impact of the antisocial measures of our governments. Psychologists, psychiatrists, child psychiatrists, general practitioners know the negative effects of the antisocial measures taken by our governments on the evelopment and mental health of children and adolescents. Several articles, studies and research attest to this.

In this article published in the Lancet Child & Adolescent health [31], the authors emphasize the dramatic impact of social isolation measures on children and adolescents. They rightly point out that social interactions are part of basic human needs [32], such as eating and sleeping.

lndeed,. fe.ellng iMufffcient!y ~nnecteti!o others I associated with profound and long-lasting negatilre eonsequences on physical anc mental health, and can even lead to more mortality [33J. The negative effects of antisocial measures may profoundly affect adolescents (age 10-24 years) [34]. Adolescents are at a crucial stage of their lives, with the type of social environment having an enormous impact on many vital functions such as proper brain development, healthy self-construction, and good mental health [3 1}. Even temporary antisocial measures can have a profound and prolonged negative impact on their development. And a Belgian virologist like Erika Vlieghe would like to keep our children and adolescents in masks throughout the school year? Dr. Brett Enneking, a child psychologist at Riley Children's Health in the United States, emphasizes that the lower part of the face plays an important rol e in children's language, understanding of emotions and communication in the broadest sense [35]. Sleep disturbances, worsening of separation-related disorders, nightmares and developmental abnormalities are among the short and medium-term consequences of this social isolation. Some of these complications are already appearing, as witnessed by psychologists and physicians. Other more serious repercussions are to be feared , such as depression, suicide, social and academic dropouts, as shown by the numerous researches on the negative consequences of social isolation on the good development of the human being. It is not a question of being anti-masked for the pleasure of opposing authority without any valid reason, or just to avoid some itching or irritation. This article has documented all the serious deleterious effects that the continuous wearing of a mask and the antisocial measures imposed by our governments can have on physical and mental health, especially of children and adolescents. Those in charge and the vi rologists who advise governments where treasures is only okaynever mention the many harmful effects of their measures. They do not give the population complete and honest information. In summary, As eminent pediatricians and research in several countries say, children and adolescents are virtually unaffected by COVID-1 9. They are almost unaffected themselves and participate in the transmission of the virus only to a negligible extent. The mask can lead to more infections by several mechanisms: 1. By increasing the tendency to touch one's face, mouth, nose, eyes. 2. By increasing the concentration of viruses on the outer layer of the mask. 3. By giving a false sense of security. https://www.globalresearch.ca/wearing-the-face-mask-who-is-putting-our-children-at-risk-sars-cov-2-or-the-actions-of-our-governments/5723961?print=1 4r7 11/13/2020 Wearing the Face Mask: Who is Putting our Children at Risk, SARS-CoV-2 or the Actions of our Governments? - Global ResearchGloba . \ 4. By generating factors that will neutralize the protective effect of the mask, such as speaking louder or getting within 2 meters-to understand each other. 5. By surpassing the innate immune defense capabilities due to a higher viral load concentrated by the mask in front of the respiratory tract. The consequences of imposed antisocial measures, including mandatory and continuous wearing of the mask or excessive distancing, are harmful and serious. They are long-lasting and significant.

They are physical: impetigo, conjunctivitis, asthmatiform bronchitis, breathing difficulties, headaches (migraines). They are physiological: hypercapnia, hypoxemia, increased heart rate. They are mental, perhaps the most serious, especially in childhood and adolescence, and involve disturbances in sleep, emotional communication and maturation, learning, brain development, and can go as far as depression and excess mortality. In the school setting, however, there are workable alternatives such as ventilating enclosed spaces and holding classes or studies in open spaces, such as courtyards or outdoor spaces. Finally, and perhaps what makes the continuation of the government's antisocial measures incomprehensible and serious is the well documented notion that th e COVID-19 pandemic appears to be disappearing within 5 months of the epidemic peak. as shown by clinical data (decrease in hospitalizations, deaths and serious cases in all European countries) and biological data (mutation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to less virulent forms). In view of these facts. persisting in this antisocial path is, as this article from FranceSoir (36) emphasizes, maltreatment. particularly for our children and adolescents. We physicians put one principle above all others, above the precautionary principle. It is the principle of above all, do no harm (primum non nocere). Today, by letting our governments apply their antisocial measures, are we not doing more harm than good? This is what 70 Belgian doctors think when they ask for the abolition of masks in schools (37]. 37] This is what 70% of those surveyed in a Belgian newspaper think, saying that students should be able to remove their masks once they sit in class. 38) Let's hope that this is only the beginning.

Brain cell dysfunction in low oxygen is, surprisingly, caused by the very same responder system that is intended to be protective, according to a new published study by a team of researchers at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine.

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-10-reveals-oxygen-brain .html 1/3 11/13/2020 New research reveals why low oxygen damages the brain "These powerful protein responders initially protect brain cells from low oxygen as expected,~ut ·-,. we find that their prolonged activity leads to unintended collateral damage that ultimately impairs brain cell function," said the study's principal investigator Paul Tesar, a professor in the Department of Genetics and Genome Sciences at the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine and the Dr. Donald and Ruth Weber Goodman Professor of Innovative Therapeutics.

Defining the mechanism of brain-cell damage in low oxygen conditions provides an opportunity to develop effective therapies, including a class of drugs studied in their research that could inform future clinical approaches for many neurological diseases caused by low oxygen. The work also clarifies how the response to low oxygen causes disease in other tissues outside the brain.

~~Their research was published online Oct. 21 in the journal Cell Stem Cell.~~

~~The body's response to low oxygen~~

With the dawn of an oxygenated atmosphere, a burst of multicellular life was possible, as oxygen could be used to produce the energy needed to support complex life functions. Given the requirement of oxygen for life, nearly all organisms evolved a mechanism to rapidly respond to low oxygen-a condition called hypoxia. The Noble Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded in 2019 for discoveries of how cells in our body sense low oxygen levels and respond to stay alive.

At the core of this ancient response are proteins called hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), which instruct the cell to minimize oxygen consumption and maximize their access to oxygen. In this way, HIFs can be thought of as valiant heroes attempting to protect and resuscitate cells in the immediate response to low oxygen.

Prolonged hypoxia causes dysfunction in many tissues. In particular, stem cells in the brain are impaired by hypoxia in many diseases, including stroke, cerebral palsy related to premature birth, respiratory distress syndromes, multiple sclerosis and vascular dementia. Even the significant neurological damage caused by COVID-19 is attributed to hypoxia.

~~Until now, the precise causes of cell malfunction due to low oxygen were unknown.~~

~~The dark side of the hypoxia response~~

In this study, researchers developed a new approach to closely study how the hypoxia responder proteins function. By comparing how they work in brain-stem cells with other tissues, such as heart and skin, the scientists confirmed that the hypoxia responder proteins perform a beneficial function to promote cell survival in low oxygen in all tissues. However, these same hypoxia responder proteins had a previously unappreciated dark side, as they also switched on other cellular processes outside of the core beneficial response.

https:l/medicalxpress.com/news/2020-10-reveals-oxygen-brain.html 2/3 11/13/2020 New research reveals why low oxygen damages the brain "The tiam then demonstrated that this additional-and previously unknown-response is what impaired brain-stem cell function. This suggests that, while hypoxia responder proteins evolved to promote cell survival in all tissues of the body in low-oxygen conditions, their powerful effects can also have unintended consequences to disrupt cell function.

~~New opportunities for treating hypoxia damage~~

The authors tested thousands of drugs to try to restore brain-stem cell function to overcome the damaging effects of the hypoxia responder proteins. They discovered a group of drugs that specifically overcome the damage-inducing response, while leaving the beneficial response intact.

"One of the exciting avenues that stems from this work is identifying drugs that specifically target the damaging side of the hypoxia response while sparing the beneficial side," said first author Kevin Allan, a graduate student in Case Western's Medical Scientist Training Program. "This offers a new perspective on combating tissue damage due to hypoxia."

"Whether the damaging side of the hypoxia response is solely an unintended pathological effect or potentially a previously undiscovered normal process that goes awry in disease remains unknown," Tesar said. "Our work opens the door to a new way of thinking about how cells respond to low oxygen in health and disease."

Rese9rchers at Maastricht University Medical Center and Maastricht University have discovered why the brain is more sensitive to oxygen deprivation, or hypoxia, than other organs. Hypoxia caused by a stroke, for example, activates a specific mechanism that is protective in other organs but can be detrimental to the brain. 'This discovery solves a long-standing mystery of the unique sensitivity of the brain to hypoxia,' says head researcher and professor Harald Schmidt. The research results were published today in the leading scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2017-10-brain -sensitivity-lack-oxygen. html 1/3 11/13/2020 Researchers discover cause of brain sensitivity to lack of oxygen In most cases, a stroke is caused by a blocked artery in the brain, which deprives the brain of oxygen. To prevent brain death, the blood clot must be dissolved with an anticoagulant or removed via a catheter. Stroke victims that survive are left with detrimental symptoms, regardless of how quickly they were treated. These symptoms may include severe paralysis and speech disorders.

~~Self-destruction~~

An enzyme was found to play a crucial and specific role during a stroke. Following oxygen deprivation, this enzyme, known as NOX4, is produced by several organs and muscles. In all investigated cases, however, NOX4 is harmless, with one notable exception: the production of NOX4 in the brain is disastrous. How this happens is now clear down to the cellular level. First, the enzyme triggers the breakdown of cells of the blood-brain barrier, which protects the brain against blood and other components. Second, NOX4 also triggers a self-destruction mechanism in neurons. This combined effect results in physical and mental problems. When the NOX4 gene is deleted or the NOX4 enzyme inhibited with drugs, the blood-brain barrier and neurons remain intact and brain damage is prevented.

~~Therapy~~

This important finding opens news doors for treating post-stroke brain damage. "We've known for some time that oxygen deprivation leads to brain damage, we just never knew why. The crucial role the NOX4 enzyme plays will help us develop new treatment options to protect the brain after a stroke.' With the help of a proof-of-concept grant provided by the European Research Council the Maastricht researchers are already one step further by developing drugs that are capable of inhibiting the disastrous effects of this enzyme as soon as possible for patient therapy.

~~"Mask Mouth": Wearing Facemasks Causes Decaying Teeth, Gum Disease, Skin Blemishes, Pimples, Acne~~

Facemasks are causing many problems, but the medical establishment and governments around the world who impose mandates to wear facemasks in public seem to be oblivious to the damage they are causing in order to protect us. In this case, the cure is worst than the disease.

As many of us know, there is no credible evidence to support the claim made by doctors, scientists and the mainstream media (MSM) who are in the pockets of major pharmaceutical corporations and the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation that facemasks protect us from deadly viruses. Now there are new consequences of wearing facemasks that the MSM rarely mentions, and that is a rise of dental and acne problems that are affecting people who comply with the facemask mandates imposed by governments on behest of the so-called ·medical experts" such as Dr. Anthony Fauci of the CDC and others.

Mask Mouth, is basically a new term coined by doctors located in New York City who describe the new phenomenon of arising dental problems that are associated to wearing facemasks on a consistent basis. In early August, The New York Post headlined with 'Mask mouth' is a seriously stinky side effect of wearing masks' interviewed Dr. Rob Ramondi who is a certified dentist and a co-founder of One Manhattan Dental said that ·we're seeing inflammation in people's gums that have been healthy forever, and cavities in people who have never had them before," said Dr. Ramondi, "about 50% of our patients are being impacted by this, [so] we decided to name it 'mask mouth' - after 'meth mouth. "

Meth Mouth is described as addicts who smoke crystal meth (methamphetamine) that eventually develop serious dental problems such as acracked, black- and brown-stained teeth because the stimulant causes sugar cravings, teeth grinding and jaw clenching." Dr. Marc Sclafani, who is also one of the co-founders said that"Gum disease - or periodontal disease - will eventually lead to strokes and an increased risk of heart attacks. " He said that wearing a face mask increases the dryness of the mouth leading to an increase in unwanted bacteria. "People tend to breathe through their mouth instead of through their nose while wearing a mask" said Sclafani 'The mouth breathing is causing the dry mouth, which leads to a decrease in saliva - and saliva is what fights the bacteria and cleanses your teeth" adding the fact that "saliva is also what neutralizes acid in the mouth and helps prevent tooth decay and gum disease." He recommends to drink water and to practice extensive oral hygiene on a daily basis. Despite their findings, doctors who are the opposite side of the spectrum such as Dr. Shruti Gohil, an associate medical director of Epidemiology & Infection Prevention at UC Irvine said that if masks caused dental issues, others in the medical field would also have the same problems since they wear masks all of the time according to a Los Angeles Times report from mid-August, "even dentists wear masks themselves all day long, " she said "this flies in the face of any type of known information and really is concerning to me." Dr. Gohil was responding to a Anaheim council meeting led by councilwoman Lucille Kring who said that "dentists are finding that ifs causing very serious dental problems - cavities, gum disease and halitosis. So keep that in mind when you're snuggling up to a mask." Dr. Gohil also promotes vaccines. During a measles outbreak in 2015, she claimed that adults should get the measles vaccine even though they most likely received one when they were adolescents.

'The vaccine is 99 percent effective, but that can wane over time. Even people who, as a child, received the two doses required by the state might consider getting another booster, " said Dr. Shruti Gohil, "Measles is the most contagious virus known to man at this time, " Gohil said. "you can actually do something about preventing it. So why wouldn't you?" Sounds like Dr. Gohil is in the pockets of Big Pharma. Not only facemasks are causing dental problems, facial issues such as pimples, zits and other forms of acne are becoming problematic as CNN, the premier propaganda channel that promotes facemasks and social distancing admitted in a headline from last June titled 'Maskne': Why your face is breaking out under your mask and how to stop it' reported that 'tor many people that is leading to an embarrassing and unpleasant side effect: blemishes, pimples, zits - or what dermatologists call acne." CNN interviewed Dr. Whitney Bowe, clinical assistant professor of dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center who said that "I have patients calling in despair saying 'What is going on? I've never had a breakout before and now my face looks like a teenager's!' and Dr. Seemal Desai, an assistant professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center who said that "we 're seeing lots of flares of acne, especially a type called perioral dermatitis, which tends to happen typically around the mouth and in the areas around the nose." The dental and facial problems for those who wear facemasks on a consistent basis to supposedly protect themselves from an over exaggerated disease is just another example of unintended consequences in the making. Facemasks are causing many problems, but the medical establishment and governments around the world who impose mandates to wear facemasks in public seem to be oblivious to the damage they are causing in order to protect us. In this case, the cure is worst than the disease.

~~COVID-19: Continuous Wearing of Mask Aggravates Risk of Infection. "Psychological Terrorism"?~~

By Dr Pasql Sacre Global Research, September 19, 2020 Mondialisation. ca Uri of this article: httos .. 1 rww.globcllresearch.ca1cov1d-19-continuous-wear ng-of-mask-?ggrayates-tne-nsk-of-1nfect1on-12. y.ch91.og1cal-terronsm/5719704

Continuous wearing of masks aggravates the risk of infection. This statement is based on scientific and medical analysis. The air, once exhaled, is heated, humidified and charged with CO2. It becomes a perfect culture medium for infectious agents (bacteria, fungi, viruses). Studies have shown that the porosity (microscopic holes) of the masks allows exhaled germs to accumulate on the external surface of the mask. Not only do we re-inhale our own CO2, but by touching our mask a!f the time (an inevitable gesture), we spread germs everywhere! Forcing everyone to wear them all the time, while the epidemic is in a process of decline, is a scientific and medical aberration! A pharmaceutical analysis has shown that in masks for personal use, there are "staphylococci, streptococci, neisseria, bacilli which contribute to contaminatation ... " Non-pharmaceutical Interventions". Masks with gloves, physical distancing (1.5 -2.0 m) and containment (lockdown) are part of so-called "Non-pharmaceutical Interventions·. Masks are considered by governments as a "protection against the transmission of Covid-19". It is better to wear a mask (any mask) than nothing. People are instructed to obey the guidelines of the Ministry of Health. These guidelines are erroneous. They are imposed on population groups which have been traumatized by the fear campaign, applied in countries which have applied the lockdown. In Belgium, 4 months after the lockdown was first introduced and more than 2 months after the end of confinement, wearing a mask is now compulsory for everyone, everywhere, even on the dikes, except for children under 12 years of age, who were not at the heart of the epidemic. People are being masked and there Is talk of reconfinernent for the wrong reasons: Authorities are confusing a resurgence of positive RT-PCR tests with a resurgence of COVID-19 infections, which is not the same thing! The media say: "the number of infections is increasing again", whereas it is the number of positive tests that is increasing. The reality is that the epidemic is subsiding. Masks: dangers not to be overlooked Apart from overestimating the benefit of masks, the authorities underestimate its deleterious effects. "The researchers found that about a third of the workers developed headaches with the use of the mask, most had pre-existing headaches that were aggravated by wearing the mask, and 60% needed pain medication to relieve it. With respect to the cause of the headaches, while the straps and pressure of the mask may be causative, most of the evidence points to hypoxia and/or hypercapnia as the cause. That is, a reduction in blood oxygenation (hypoxia) or an increase in blood CO2 (hypercapnia)." [1] Hypoxia (lack of blood oxygenation) due to prolonged mask wear is common [2-3-4] in apparently healthy individuals. It is even worse when worn by people suffering from chronic respiratory insufficiencies, already hypoxemic and/or hypercapnic at baseline. Do our authorities underestimate or trivialize the deleterious effects of hypoxemia and chronic hypercapnia? These disorders can far outweigh the respiratory problems caused by COVID-19.

Masks: a usefulness to be put into perspective Strong scientific evidence through randomized controlled trials {RCTs) has been required to validate the efficacy and safety hydroxychloroquine! Surprisingly, in the case of face masks, this criterion is no longer required. Based on existing randomized controlled trials, there is no evidence that face masks work to reduce transmission by droplets and aerosol particles in viral respiratory diseases such as influenza or colds [5]. Professor Denis Rancourt [5] has conducted an extensive review of the literature on this topic. The type of mask most widely used by the population, paper surgical masks, does not protect against viral transmission [6] : "A surgical mask does not provide the wearer with a reliable level of protection against inhalation of small airborne particles and is not considered respiratory protection. Permission to wear a surgical mask made more sense when scientists initially thought that the virus {SARS-CoV-2) was spread by large droplets. But more and more research shows that the virus is spread by tiny viral particles. " Cotton (cloth) masks worn by some people do not do any better [7] : "Neither surgical masks nor cotton masks effectively filtered out CoV-2 SARS when infected patients coughed. It should be noted that we found greater contamination on the outside surfaces than on the inside surfaces of the masks. In conclusion, surgical and cotton masks appear to be ineffective in preventing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 from the cough of COVID-19 patients to the environment and to the external surface of the mask." Especially since masked people touch their faces more often than unmasked people. Masks: a false sense of security Wearing the mask induces a false sense of security. People no longer pay attention and "forget" other gestures that are more essential than wearing a mask: hand washing or physical distance of more than 1.5 metres. The WHO (World Health Organization) insists on the importance of washing hands, keeping one's distance and avoiding touching one's face, nose and mouth! It only recommends wearing a mask (surgical, N95 or FFP2) if you are ill or if you are caring for a sick person (health care staff) [8]. [8] • At this time, there is no direct evidence (from studies of COVID-19 and healthy people in the community) on the effectiveness of widespread mask use by healthy people to prevent infections due to respiratory viruses, including COVID-19. " [8] In shopping malls, restaurants, bars or even on the street, I have observed a large number of people touching their faces regularly, distractedly, sometimes ten to fifteen times a minute, either as a reflex or to readjust their masks. This is the case in hospitals, health care services, from caregivers, including doctors. It's stronger than you are, it's an unconscious gesture. The mask increases the contact between our fingers and our face [9] and that's really harmful! In Denmark [10], the Public Health Agency [10] testifies: "We create a false sense of security (with the masks). Hans Jorn Jepsen Kolmos, a microbiologist and researcher at Odense University Hospital, puts it bluntly: .. We don't believe it. They are effective for the nursing staff or employees of retirement homes. But I am really very much opposed to their widespread use. It becomes a ritual that is adopted for no reason, and creates a false sense of security. The most important thing is to keep your distance, to wash your hands, and to clean the surfaces you have touched, such as door handles. This is the winning formula for hygiene. " 241 scientists [i1] emphasize the need for proper air ventilation in workplaces, buildings, schools, hospitals and nursing homes. Opening doors and windows will have a far greater impact on the fight against viral transmission than wearing a mask, which, as we have seen, does not really protect and has deleterious effects on health. Masks: a shock strategy tool Here again, is the real problem more psychological than scientific? Certainly, for the general public, the wearing of the mask reassures, whether its protection is real or not, whether it is well worn or not, or even, what is more serious, whether it makes things worse or not. People need to believe in something that protects them from the scourge and it is true that the media and our "experts", at least in Belgium, have done everything to make people very afraid and accept anything and everything. Astronomical fines for not wearing the mask! 1000 euros in a closed space in Campanile, Italy [12]. 250 euros fine in public places [13], in Belgium, 3 times more for restaurants and unmasked waiters. What psychological terrorism! https://www.globalresearch.ca/covid-19-continuous-wearing-of-mask-aggravates-the-risk-of-infection-psychological-terrorism/5719704?print=1 2/3 COVID-19: Continuous Wearing of Mask Aggravates Risk of Infection. "Psychological Terrorism"? - Global ResearchGlobal Research Yet the wearing of masks everywhere and by everyone is not based on science or common sense and has serious deleterious effects on our health.

~~It impedes the application of essential non-pharmaceutical measures and gives a false sense of security.~~

~~Rather than being strengthened, all these measures must be dissipated, as this epidemic is doing.~~

~~Physical distancing destroys the social relationships that are dear to every human being.~~

~~We are social beings: psychology, sociology, medicine, everyone knows that.~~

~~Excessive hand washing becomes a pathological hyperhygienism that takes on the appearance of OCD: obsessive compulsive disorder.~~

These extreme measures, which are no longer justified, must give way to common sense, to authentic social relations and to the return of confidence in one's immune system and in the natural extinction of this epidemic contaminated by hysteria.

~~Originally posted on Facebook~~

~~I happen to know a thing or two about masks and safety.~~

~~We routinely published articles on masks, gloves, respirators and other forms of personal protective equipment (PPE).~~

~~Now let me tell you a few things about that mask you're wearing.~~

And please note that what I'm about to share was also stated in the most recent edition of Del Bigtree's program The Highwire when two OSHA mask experts spoke to the fact that the kinds of masks people are wearing were never (never!) designed to be worn for long periods and doing so is very harmful.

~~The blue typical mask depicted in the photograph contain Teflon and other chemicals.~~

~~A Facebook friend reminds us:~~

1. Masks are "sterilized" with Ethylene Oxide - a known carcinogen. Many teachers in various school boards have been experiencing significant symptoms as a direct result of the effects of this chemical.

2. The masks contain (not sprayed with) PTFE which makes up Teflon along with other chemicals. I found and have posted the US patent to allow manufacturers to use PTFE as a filter in commercial masks ... "breathing these for extended periods can lead to lung cancer."

~~Don't agree? Argue with the experts at OSHA, which is the main US agency, i.e., its Occupational Health & Safety Agency.~~

~~These masks are meant to be worn only for short periods, like say if you're sanding a table for an hour and don't want to inhale sawdust.~~

~~They don't do anything whatsoever to stop the spread of any virus, and the emerging science of~~

~~1 virology now understands that viruses aren1 t even passed person to person.~~

I know that sounds incredible, but it's the case that the virus is in the air, you breath it in, there's no way to prevent that short of living in an oxygen tent, and if you have a strong immune system you1 II be fine, and if you have a weak immune system you may have to deal with the effects of your immune system working to restore balance within your metabolism.

~~So let's say you don1 t wear the blue packaged masks, and instead wear a homemade cloth mask - the kind people wear over and over and hang on their rearview mirror and so on.~~

~~Those masks are completely useless against a virus, and are also very dangerous. OSHA would never condone a person wearing a mask of this kind for anything more than the shortest time.~~

~~Re-breathing your own viral debris is dangerous to health, and the oxygen deprivation children suffer wearing such masks all day will certainly cause brain damage.~~

~~I'm not making this up. Again, you might say, well, Guy, you're not a doctor.~~

~~True, but I did edit t hat magazine for 25 years. That's a long time and many articles on masks and PPE . I've attended numerous OH&S conferences and listened to experts discussing these matters.~~

~~You may hear people saying that surgeons and nurses wear masks like this all day.~~

~~Um, no. No they don't.~~

~~They're trained in the proper use of masks, which is to wear them in the OR, then dispose of the mask when they leave that room.~~

~~Are you aware that operating rooms are actually supplied extra oxygen, to compensate for the reduction in oxygen flow from mask wearing? t's criminal to force children to wear masks all day~~

~~To my mind, it's criminal (not hyperbole) to force children to wear masks all day. Setting aside the very real psychological effects, we're going to have a generation of brain damaged children.~~

~~Ever heard the expression, "Not enough oxygen at birth?" That's a joke at the expense of a mentally challenged person, but that's literally what we're doing.~~

~~And we're told it's to "keep us safe"! We're told this by doctors who actually don't know about PPE and laypeople who have no clue.~~

~~So, you can choose to believe me or not, but I was the editor for a quarter century of a magazine that had a strong occupational health and safety mandate, and I can tell you that the~~

2 mask wearing currently mandated by governments and private businesses offers no health benefit whatsoever, in no way protects you or anyone else from any virus, and actually does you da mage beyond wearing it for a few minutes.

~~Got that? Good. Now please share this message and get the conversation going with parents, who must end this masking of children immediately.~~

~~This is a very serious matter. And related to that, let me just state this doesn't end for me when the lockdown ends or the masking ends.~~

No, this ends for me when every politician and bureaucrat who inflicted this travesty, this crime against humanity, on the population of Canada (and other affected countries) is in the dock, and faces t heir misdeeds in a court of law.

~~And as for those of you who have put masks on young children, I will have a long memory on that score. A very long memory.~~

~~END NOTE: The CDC and WHO have acknowledged that asymptomatic people do not spread the virus, so the case for masks for such people is moot in the first place.~~

~~The Sad Faces of Our Children in Lockdown Covid Captivity~~

Of all the depressing sights witnessed during the insane process of Covid home imprisonment, stupid social distancing and mask madness, the regimentation of children into predesignated playground /classroom 'chalked-off zones' is the one I find the most blood chilling. There are a number of factors about this Covid-19 event that stand-out. Firstly, that it is an entirely fake event. Secondly, that it is utterly manipulative. And thirdly, that it reflects an essentially anti-life agenda using fear as its predominant tool of repression. That may seem like a pretty brutal assessment of CV-19, but one cannot go on to speak about the way children have become a sacrificial element in this nightmarish agenda without first revealing the sheer manipulative audacity of the entire Covid master plan. While the situation is slowly changing, the underlying psychology of 'obedience to the rules' is not. This obedience has been taken to a new low as many schools and kindergartens have tried to apply the social distancing regulation to young school children. This has taken the form of chalking out two metre spaced apart circles or squares on the classroom and playground floor and ordering children to stay in them. Young children have been told to sit or stand alone in what amount to individually tailored exclusion zones and psychological prisons. Children, medical advisers say, who are not even at any risk from what is called CV-19. Nevertheless, there they are, sitting with sad faces as the politically correct mask clad teacher gives them their daily school instructions. The misery on the faces of these children deeply expresses the sense of horror surrounding the entire operation. A child instantly recognises a lie and exhibits the appropriate reaction. Under what kind of extreme conditions might such a regulation be considered supportive of the health and welfare of children? I can think of no situation, however potentially serious, in which innocent young boys and girts should be treated with such sickening disdain and lack of humanity. To do it even when there is no valid case for taking such a step, is truly shocking to behold and should be categorized as a criminal action. At the beginning and end of the school day, parents must 'deliver' their child through the school gate or door - keeping distance - with the teacher not being allowed to touch the child. Such are the instructions coming down from some perverted 'leaders' at the World Health Organisation - and then blindly followed by government officials, teachers and parents. It is 'sanitary preparation' for life in the sterile 'smart cities' that are just around the corner, if the same people retain control over the daily workings of this wortd. The second Covid nightmare scenario to have been imposed on school children, and parents, is 'a-education'. Sticking children· behind computers for hours on end is never recommended, for obvious health reasons. But that is what is called-for in 'e-education', in which parents are also forced to be complicit by being instructed to take over the role of teacher 'in the home'. The tools of this trade comprise pre-designated 'e' tech software programmes that are essentially agents of stereotype mind control. To grow up healthy, a child needs the pleasurable interaction with other children - not sitting alone behind a flickering screen having their heads loaded with state education programming. What a shockingly heartless way to conduct the learning process! Technology gives the illusion of providing a means to an end, and is often associated with acquiring 'freedom'. More accurately, the acquisition of more and more technology is a road to slavery. The technology traps its users into dependency on a virtual reality wortd, while the real world is ignored or categorized as boring. A sure receipt for impaired mental stability. What actually is going on here?

It all starts with the education system itself. The verb 'to educate' comes from the Latin 'e-ducare' meaning 'to lead out from'. Now 'to lead out from' is very different than 'to push into', which Is the format imposed by formal education having the ambition to brainwash the pupil into accepting 'verbatim' a whole lot of facts about that which is deemed necessary in order to eventually get a job and make money. Contrast this with the idea of 'leading out from'. Something which exists in all children is creative potential - in bucket loads. Drawing this creativity out - and thereby opening up the genius which lies at the heart of all innocent hearts and minds - is the true role of the teacher. One way closes down the life force and the other opens it up. But if you do decide to go with 'e-ducare' you are not going to find it in the formal school programmes that have been designed and set under government supervision with the purpose of ensuring the next generation conform to exactly the same patters of thinking, behaving and conforming as the current and previous ones. Or. to put it more bluntly, to ensure that peopie remain slaves to 'the system' whose controller's ambition is to keep as many as possible in a state of hypnosis, unable to use their abilities for anything other than furthering the various facets of a dying status quo. There are some exceptions to this standard dumbing down orthodoxy. For example, Rudolph Steiner's anthroposophic teaching method for primary and secondary school ages, and Maria Montessori's creative behavioural encouragement in young children. There https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-sad-faces-of-our-children-in-lockdown-covid-caplivity/5718058?print=1 1/2 11/15/2020 The Sad Faces of Our Children in Lockdown Covid Captivity - Global ResearchG!obal Research are other experimental schools in existence, as well as the possibilities of teaching from home, but that still has to conform to the state programme. The sight of depressed children being manipulated to sit quietly in their chalked out separate boxes for fear of infringing 'the law' would never be possible if our education system as a whole didn't already start from this same position of fundamental suppression of the life force. A suppression resulting from its abject failure to follow the guidelines implicit in the origins of its name. Children are the bright lights of pure spirit. Behind their deep and beautiful eyes lies a whole new future for the human race. A true teacher recognises the presence of a stream of vivid imagination and helps it emerge; nurturing its formation into evolving channels of creative/artistic expression. This is a vocation of the highest merit. Like handling an infinitely precious gem stone. And because of what this gem might reveal, one must be humble enough to realise one is ultimately, during the ongoing development of this relationship, likely to land-up as the pupil. In building the New Society that must emerge out of the debris of this calamitous civilisation, the way we treat children will emerge as a critical factor in setting the standard for all that follows. There is a child at the centre of every one of us; if one is in doubt about the way to treat it, one is in doubt about one's purpose for living,

~~Key Findings For Data Through July 12th~~

• According to the CDC, 101 children age Oto 14 have died from influenza, while 31 children have died from COVID- 19. • No evidence exists to support the theory that children pose a threat to educational professionals in a school or dassroom setting, but there is a great deal of evidence to support the safety of in-person education. • According to the COC, 131,332 A:nericans have died from pneumonia and 121,374 from COVID-19 as of July 11ti,, 202d. • Had the CDC used its industry standard, Medical Examiners' and Coroners' Handbook on Death Registration and Fetal Death Reporting Revision 2003, as it has for all other causes cf death for the last 17 years the COVID-19 fatality ccun vou!d be approximately 90.2% lower than it currently is. Abstract The CDC has instructed hospitals, medical examiners, coroners and physicians to coiiect and report CO VID-19 data by significantly different standards than all other infectious diseases and causes of death.

~~These new and unnecessary guidelines were instituted by the CDC in private, and without open discussion among qualified professionals that are free from conflicts of interest.~~

These new and unnecessary guidelines were additionally instituted despite the existence of effective rules for data coi/ection and reporting, successfully used by all hospitals, medical examiners, coroners, and physicians for more than 17 years.

As a result, elected officials have enacted many questionable policies that have injured our country's economy, our country's educational system, our country's mental and emotional health, and the American citizen's personal expression of Constitutionally-protected rights to participate in our own govemance.

This paper will present significant evidence to support the position that if the CDC simply employed their 2003 industry standard for data collection and . reporting, which has been successfully used nationwide for 17 years; the total fatalities attributed to COVID-19 would be reduced by an estimated - so,2%, nd questions would be non-existent regarding schools reopening and whether or not Americans should be allowed to work.

~~Is It Safe for Students & Teachers to Return to School?~~

While the current question gripping the nation is, 'Should schools reopen in the fall?' Tire 'crucial data available tl]rough the CDC, but not being actively promoted by the CDC, asks a different question, 'Should schools have ever closed in the first place?'

According to the CDC's Provisional COVID-19 Death Counts By Sex, Age & State, we know the following data from Feb 1, 2020 through July 11 th, 2020.1 • Three times as many children in the O to 14 age demographic have died from influenza (101 ) compared to COVID-19 (31 ). • In the O to 14 age demographic, there have been 11 , 158 reported fatalities from all causes. • Thus, COVID-19 fatalities in the O to 14 age demographic make up a vcr; small 0.0278% of all fata!itre -. There is more data when looking at the 15 to 24 age demographic. • 41.2% more teens and coll~e age young adults, in lhe 15 to 24 age demographic, have died from pneumonia (267)compared o COVID-19 (157). • In the 15 to 24 age demographic, there have been 13,721 reported fatalities from all causes. • Thus, COVID-19 fatalities in the 15 to 24 age demographic make up only 1.14% of all fatalities. We would not consider closing in-person educational institutions for typical seasonal flu or pneumonia fatalities, so why did we close them when COVID-19 numbers are even lower? Some have argued for concern and caution in the 25 to 54 age demographic, which makes logical sense, so let's look again at the current data available. • More work force age adults, in the 25 to 54 age demographic, have died from pneumonia (9,268) compared to COVID-19 (9,034). • In the 25 to 54 age demographic. there have been 146.663 reported fatalities from a!! causes. • Thus, COVID-19 fatalities in the 25 to 54 age demographic make up 6.16% of all fatalities. The risk of fatality for COVID-19 is on par with the nsk of fatality associated with contracting pneumonia, 6.32% in this age demographic. As encouraging as this data is. we have concerns regarding data collection and reporting that we will discuss below that potentially lowers current fatality counts by 90.2%. It is very possible that state health departments have been instructed by the CDC to over-count COVID fatalities, cases, and hospitalizations, and we will present that evidence shortly.

As we have demonstrated in our first 2 research articles, 'Are Children Really Recovering 99.9584% of the Time From COVID-19.' and 'COVID-19 Haye You Heard? There Is Good News1' there is a very real concern for Americans over the age 50 and especially over 65 years of age. Risk of fatality increases substantially for Americans over age 50 with at least 1 of the following ccmorb1dities: Hypertension, Diabetes, Elevated Cholesterol, Kidney Disease, Dementia, Heart Disease. For perspective, according to the CDC, is the risk of dying from pneumonia higher than the risk of dying from COVID-19 in the 55 to 64 age demographic? • Pre-retirement adults, in the 55 to 64 age demographic, had a slightly higher chance of dying from pneumonia (16,469) compared to COVID-19 (14.963). https://www.globalresearch.ca/covid-fatalities-wer-90-2-lower-how-would-you-feel-about-schools-reopening/5720264?print=1 1/10 11 /12/2020 Covid-19: Questionable Policies, Manipulated Rules of Data Collection and Reporting. Is It Safe for Students to Return to School?l. Glo .. .

• In the 55 to 64 age demographic, there have been 178,884 reported fatalities from aii causes. • Since February 1st, fatalities in the 55 to 64 age demographic had a 12% greater risk of dying from pneumonia than COVID-19. COVID-19 fatalities in the 55 to 64 age demographic make up 8.21 % of all fatalities and the risk of fatality due to COVID-19 is on par with the risk of fatality associated with contracting pneumonia, 9.21%. The reported fatalities from the CDC's Provisional COVID-19 Death Counts by Sex, Age & State webpage:

• Include 'Probable' fatalilie$, unconfirmed by testing, for COVID but not for influenza or pneumonia; • Does not have accompanying data to detail how many of the fatalities had significant underlying, pre-existing, or comorbid medical conditions; • Does not have acoompanying data lo detef'Tline if any of the fatalities were treated in a hospital setting and if the - ubsequent fatality was a result of the treatment What his data does reveal, however, is that there is no more significant risk of fatality from contracting the SARS-CoV-2 virus than from contracting influenza for chiidren & teens. It also reveals that there is no more significant risk of fatality from contracting the SARS-CoV-2 virus than there is for developing pneumonia for teens & young adults. We would not consider prohibiting in-person education when presented with infection rates and medical conditions at these rates, so why are we considering doing it for an infection that poses even less of a risk? What this data reveals for adults working with children, teens, and young adults is that COVID-19 has a lower risk of fatality than pneumonia nd the data suggests that other options should be created for both parents and educational professionals to allow them to choose which style of education they arp currently comfortable with (1) traditional in-person education; (2) hybrid online/in-person education; or (3) virtual online education.

i"WIDMD IIWIWMmWll#li There are many questions that need to be addressed with the current situation. Should each school district give parents and professionals options for in-person education, hybrid education, and/or online education this fall? Should parents and professionals be a!!owed to decide where their comfort level is, and act accordingly given the d3ta presented? Or, should in-person students and professionals be forced to adhere to guidelines from the CDC that not only compromise the educational experience, but also place undue, unrealistic burdens upon them for somethir.g v,rith a lower risk than pneumonia for al! and m!luen7a for the O to 14 age demographic? We !eave these questions for each American to answer. More Scientific Evidence that It's Safe for Children to Go Back to School A genetic proiect in Iceland revealed interesting findings about children infecting adults. "Children under 10 are less likely to get infected than adults and if they get infected, they are less likely to get seriously ii!. What is interesting is that even if children do get infected they are less likely to transmit the disease to others than adults. We have not found a single Instance of a child infecting parents. •2 See 1tllli. Sweden kept schools open with no demonstrative adverse impact upon children in school settings compared to Finland that elected to close in-person education.

"Sweden's decision to keep schools open during the pandemic resulted in no higlier rate ofinfection among its schoolchildren than in neighboring Finland, where schools did temporarily close, their public health agencies said in a joint report ... ln conclusion, (the) closure or not of schools had no measurable direct impact on the number of laboratory confirmed cases in school-aged children in Finland or Sweden." 3 See fu A German siudy found thar children are. unlikeiy vectors of COVID-19 "Prof Reinhard Bemer, the head of pediatric medicine at Dresden University Hospital and leader of the study, said the results suggested the virus does-.not spread easily in schools. •it is rather the cpposit ;- Prof Berner told a press conference. ' dren act more as a bra e on infection. Not every Infection that reaches them Is passed on." The study tested 2,045 children and teachers at 13 schools - including some where there have been cases of the virus • 4 See this No evidence of children infecting teachers in Australia.

·our investigation found M ti ✓lde of children infecting teachers,..ln contrast to influenza, data from both virus and antibody testing to date suggest that chHdren are not the primary drivers of COYID-19 spread in schools or in the community." 5 See this School environments are low rfsl( and in-person education resuming should begin. "Our report includes both the primary and secondary school setting, with no transmission in either setting. The limited evidence of transmission in school settings suppons the re-opening of schools as part or tne easing of current restncttons. There are no zero nsk approaches, but the school environment appears to be low risk." 6 See ~ Infected children do not spread the virus to other children, teachers or administrators. "The main new finding ·is that the infected children did not spread the virus to other children or to teachers or other school staff ... there was no secondary transmission of the virus to other children at the school, or from children to teachers.• 7 See fu Why Did the CDC Decide to Create Unique Reporting Rules for COVID-19 When Successful Reporting Rules Already Existed? A double standard exists for how COVID-19 data is collected and reported versus all other infectious diseases and causes of death. Let's examine three essential data categories; Fatalities, Cases & Hospitalizations for all infectious diseases because there are significant flaws in what constitutes a COVID-19 case, hospitalization and fatality.

On March 2~th • the CDC decided to ignore universal data collectioo and reporting guidelines for fatalities in favor of adopting new guidelines unique to COVID-19. The guidelines the CDC decided against using have been used successfully since 2003. https:/lwww.globalresearch.caicovid-iatalities-wer-90-2-lower-how-would-you-feel-about-schools-reopening/5720264?print=1 2/10 ' 11/12/2020 Covid-19: Questionable Policies, Manipulated Rules of Data Collection and Reporting. Is It Safe for Students to Return to School? - Glo ..

After all, based upon the July 11 th data from the CDC's Provisional COVID-19 Death Counts by Sex, Age & State webpage, if COVID-19 is an epidemtc (122,37'1 Fatalities), then shouldn't pneumonia (131,372 Fatalities) also be an epidemic?1 Fatality Data It is important to note that COVID-19 data is collected and reported by a much different standard than all other infectious diseases and causes of death data. This unique standard for COVID-19 was used, despite the existence of guidelines that have been successfully used since 2003 for data collection across all infective, comorbid, and injurious situations. This begs the question, if the CDC already has well established guidelines for reporting fatalities then why make up new guidelines for COVID- 19?

COVID-19 data is collected and reported based upon the March 24th National Vital Statistics Systems (NVSS) Guidelines and the April 14th CDC adoption of a position paper authO!ed by the Council of State and Territonal Epidemiologists (CSTE). 8,9 However, the data for all other causes of death is based upon the 2003 CDC's Medical Examiners' & Coroners' Handbook on Death Registration and Fetal Death Reporting and the CDC s Phys1c1ans' Handbook on Medical Cert1ficat1on of Death. 10. 11

On March 24 th, the NVSS, under the direction of the CDC and National Institute of Health (NIH), instructed physicians, medical examiners, and coroners that COVID-19 would: • be recorded as the underlying cause of death ·more often than not;• • be recorded as the cause of death listed in Part I or lhe death c.-ertificate even in assumed cases; • be recorded as the primary cause of death even if the decedent had other chronic comorbidities. All comorbidities for COVID-19 would be listed now in Part II, rather than in Part I as they had been since 2003 for all other causes of death. March 24th, 2020- NVSS COVID-19 Alert No. 2 "Will COVID-19 be the underlying cause? The underlying cause depends upon what and where conditions are reported on the death certificate. However, the rules for coding and selection of the underlying cause of death are expected to result in COVID19 being the underlying cause more often than not.• "Should "COVID-19" be reported on the death certificate only with a confirmed test? COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death. Certifiers should include as much detail as possible based on their knowledge of the case, medical records, laboratory testing, etc. If the decedent had other chronic conditions such as COPD or asthma that may have also contributed, these conditions can be reported in Part II . (See attached Guidance for Certifying COVID-19 Deaths)" It's worth noting that Part I of a death certificate is tne immediate cause of death listed in sequential order from the official cause on line item (a) to the underlying causes that contributed to death in descending order of importance on line item (d), while Part II is/are the significant conditions NOT relating to the underlying cause(s) in Part I. As we will demonstrate shortly, comorbid conditions are always listed on Part I of death certificates as causes of death per the 2003 CDC Handbook, so that accurate reporting can be developed. Comorbidities are seldom placed in Part II, as this is typically tho place where coroners and medical examiners can list recent infections as underlying factors.

Prior to the March 24th and April 14th decision , any comorbldltles would have been listed In Part I rather than Part II and initiating factor , like recent infections, would have been listed on the last line in Part I or in Part II . Why does thi matter? This matters because the Part I causes of death are statistically recorded for public health reporting, while Part II does not hold nearly the same statistical significance in repornng. This March 24th ~ VSS guideline essentially allows COVID-19 to be the cause of death when the actual cause of death should be the comorbidity according to the industry-standard 2003 CDC Handbook. It can be a bit confusing, so we will present an example shortly for clarity.

On April 14th, the CDC in conjunctions with approval from the National Institute of Health (NIH), adopted the CSTE position paper that authorized the following guidelines for data wllection and reporting which are completely UniQU for COVID-19 and had never been done before which: • allowed for 'Probable' cases, hospitalizations, and fatalities [section AS] ; • created a pathway for the minimum standards of evidence to be a single cough [section A 1]; • created a pathway for completely bypassing laboratory testing in order to dassify a COVID-19 case as positive [ section AS}; • created a pathway for the minimum standard of evidence necessary for determining a COVID-19 case to be positive as being within 6 feet of a 'Probable· case for 10 minute or traveling to an area with outbreaks [section A3J; • declined to create any methodology for ensuring the same COVID-19 positive person would not be counted multiple times as a new case upon being tested multiple times [section BJ.

Wm e the, seemingly independent, CSTE position paper was authored by five accomphshed professionals from the Idaho, Alabama, M1ch1gan, Hawa11, and Iowa state health departments; 5 of the 7 Subject Matter Experts who contributed to the position paper were directly employed by the CDC which raises ethical concerns about conflicts of interesl It stands to reason that each of the professionals who contributed to the CSTE position paper were aware of the existence of the 2003 guidelines for reporting fatalities.Additionally. no subject matter experts from universities. medical examiners, coroners or private indust.ry apoear to have been consulted on the production of this highly questionable document. So, why does all of this matter? It matters for several reasons: • The minimum standards defy accepted professional standards for differential diagnosis in medical practice, • Section A3 empowers contact tracers, who are unlikely to have any medical training, to illegally diagnose patients without even examining the ., which is a violation of medical law in every state and constitutes practicing medicine without a license; • The CSTE position paper opens the door for any fatality to be listed as COVID-19 without any reasonable standard of evidence, while mandating that comorbidities simultaneously be deemphasized and moved to Part II, so as not to appear as a cause of death; • Simultaneous testing for all other infectious diseases, with similar respiratory symptom profiles lik'e Coccidioidomycosis for Valiey Fever, is not required. We therefore have no clinical or statistical means of knowing if a co-infection was present along with a positive finding of the SARS CoV-2 virus in the differential diagnosis process. Why was all of this necessary with a successful methodology ror phys1C1ans, medical examiners, and coroners already m place smce 2003? The CDC's 2003 Handbook suggests that COVID-19 should be listed either at the bottom of Part l or in Part II of a death certificate, rather than as the top hne item m Part I, despite Dr. f-auc1 s descnb1ng m mult1ple press interviews, that medical examiners and coroners would not be domg this, which disregards any knowledge of the March 24th orders by the NVSS to do so.

The ability for medical examiners and coroners to register their best medical opinion was neutered by the March 24th NVSS guidelines. https.//www.globalresearch.caicovid-fatalities-wer-90-2-lower-how-would-you-feel-about-schools-reopening/5720264?print=1 4/10 11/12/:1020 Covid-19: Questionable Policies, Manipulated Rules of Data Collection and Reporting. Is It Safe for Students to Return to School? - Glo "If an organ system failure (such as congestive heart failure, hepatic failure, renal failure, or respiratory failure) is listed as a cause of death, always report its etiology on the line(s) beneath it (for example renal failure due to Type I diabetes mellitus or renal failure due to ethylene glycol poisoning)." Based upon the 2003 CDC Handbook, Part I for COVID-19 fatalities should contain any comorbidities first Under these guidelines, COVID-19 would only be listed as a cause of death in Part I lf there were no comorbidities and therefore the fatality counts for COVID-19 would be much lower than they currently are. Here is the comorbidity data we have compiled from the only 7 states currently publishing this data in a manner that can be analyzed statistically. Note that 90.2¾ of fatalities had at least 1 comorbidity and therefore these fatalities would not be counted as COVID-19 fatalities under the 2003 CDC Handbook, but instead are counted based upon the NVSS guideiines and CSTE position paper adopted by tho CDC on March 24 th and April 14th respectively.

Keep in mind that while the number of fatalities with published comorbidity data is significant (N::4<1,562), we were unable to obtain comorbidity information on all fatalities from all states because the majonty of states have not been publishing this data, if they are collecting It at all. If each state were publishing comorbidity data, and if each state used the CDC's 2003 Revision f-iandbook as they do for ail other death certificates, the actual COVID-19 fatality totals would be approximately 90.2% .LQWfR than they currently are based upon an extrapolation of the data that is available. 2003 - CDC Medical Examiners' and Coroners' Handbook on Death Registration [continued] "Only one cause is to be entered on each line of Part I Additional lines should be added between the printed lines when necessary. For each cause, indicate in the space provided the approximate interval between the date of onset (not necessarily the date of d1agnos1s) and the date of death. For clarity, do not use parenthetical statements and abbreviations when reporting the cause of death. The underlying cause of death should be entered on the LOWEST LINE USED IN PART I. The underlying cause of death is the disease or injury that started the sequence of events leading directly to death or the circumstances of the accident or violence that produced the fatal injury. In the case of a violent death, the form of external violence or accident is antecedent to an injury entered, although the two events may be almost simultaneous." These clear guidelines from the CDC's 2003 Handbook state that the highest COVID-19 would be able to be placed for comorbid conditions is on the lowest line in Part I without the March 24th NVSS guidelines and April 14th CSTE position paper. This means that while the SARS-CoV-2 virus may have initiated the process of death, the cause was actually the comorbidity as it should always be. Additionally ...

Without the March 24th NVSS guidelines or the April 14th CSTE position paper adoption, COVID-19 would NOT be allowed to be listed on a death certificate at all V'w'ITHOUT A POSITIVE LAB TEST or co'1firmatory pathologic autopsy findings. Let's take a look at how different the cause of death reporting can be for similar situations. If we have a person who died from renal failure due to type 1 diabetes mellitus, but in scenario 1 the initiating factor was the H1N1 influenza virus while in scenario 2 the initiating factor was the SARS-CoV-2 virus, how would that look?

~~Here are 2 visuals or just how different these 2 very similar situations are to be recorded based upon March 24th NVSS guidelines. Scenario 1 - H1N1 Influenza as Initiating Factor~~

As you can see, these similar situations are reported dramatically different. As a result. the statistical reporting for fatalities will be dramatically different as well for all people with known comorbidities, which makes up approximately 90.2% of aU reportert fatalities due to COVID-19 according to the US State Health Departments reporting this data. Why is all of this important?

11 /12/2020 Covid-19: Questionable Policies, Manipulated-Rules of Data Collection and Reporting. Is It Safe for Students to Return to School?~ Glo .. . The CDC kr.ew in early March lhal tho vast majority of fataiities would be in people over 60 with comorbidities according io Dr. Nancy Mossonnicr, director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases and reported by CNBC on March 9th, 2020.6 "This seems to be a disease that affects aduits and most seriously older adults. Starting at age 60, there is an increasing risk of disease and the risl increases with age. People with diabetes, heart disease, lung disease and other serious underlying conditions are more likely to develop "serious outcomes, including death ." Why would the CDC adopt new rules for reporting fatalities when they already had successful guidelines? Was the CDC and Or. Fauci, the head of the NIAID (a division of the NIH), aware of the potential 1mpllcations that adopting these guidelines would create in terms of fatality reporting? And perhaps the most important question of them ail. .. Is SARS-CoV-2 a naturally evolved microorganism or is it the result of gam of function experiments? These are quest;ons Americans deserve answers to, for hopefully obvious reasons.

Why does this matter for schools reopening? The fatality data being reporting has clearly been inflated in multiple ways due to the adoption of recording and reporting rules that were unnecessary. As a result, this has greatly skewed public perception of this crisis, cost more than 50 million Americans their jobs, and created a tremendous amount of undue fear regarding the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Even with the March 24th NVSS guidelines and the April 14th adoption of the CSTE position paper, COVID-19 has a lower risk of fatality than pneumonia in all age demographics and a lower risk offatality than influenza in the Oto 14 age demographic according to the CDC. If the fatality data reporting guidelines inflate COVID-19 fatalities while holding all other causes of death to a different and higher standard, then why are we even considering forcing children to study from home? That is a question every American must answer for themselves as well. So Why Are Cases & Hospitalizations Continuing to Rise? It is important to understand the difference between SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. The scientific name of the new strain of coronavirus is SARS-CoV-2. After much naming instab1hty, the disease caused by this new strain is called Coronav1rus Disease 2019 or COVID-19. Thus, it is important to realize that once testing is done to determine whether a person is positive for SARS-CoV-2, the patient must then have symptoms consistent witti COVID-19 before being counted as a COVID case. Professional medical training and practice dictates that for a person to be diagnosed with an infection, they must have lab evidence of the infection AND symptoms to .upport Ltie diagnosis. This distinction is very important as a person can have detectable levels of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and NOT present with any symptoms. This is possible in the case of a person who had contracted Llie virus as much as 6 weeks prior. gone through natural adaptive immunity processes to defeat the infection, and now has harmless remnant proteins still present in their body. For example, an individual may test Positive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV} and not have AIDS. Similarly, an individual may test positive for SARS-CoV-2 and not have COVID-1 9. In order for a case to be dassified as COVID-19 there must be symptoms to support the diagnosis by a licensed professional Lab te<.ting alone and symptom evaluation alone violates accepted professional standards for differential diagnosis in medical practice.13 In addition to what is stated above the re are severa! factors to consider regarding why we are seeing increases in cases and hospitalizations in addition to what was stated above: • The dramatic increase in testintj: • Contact Tracers diagnosing Americans as COVID-19 positive without examination, evidence, or even being required to speak to a patient as allowed for by the CDC's April 14th adoption of the CSTE's position paper; • June 13th CDC changes to hospital guidelines for testing in hospitals that creates the opportunity for the same patient being counted multiple times as a new case: • Confirmed & Probable COVID-19 tiospitalized cases being counted as COVID-19 cases regardles o! the reason for their admission into tne hospital. Increases in Testing

This graph shows how the number of PCR molecular tests processed continues to increase almost daily. Monthly Testing Averages: https.//www.globalresearch.ca/covid-fatalities-wer-90-2-lower-how-would-you-feel-about-schools-reopening/5720264?print=1 6/10 • ,· 11/12/2020 Covid-19: Questionable Policies, Manipulated Rules of Data Collection and Reporting. Is It Safe for Students to Return to School? - Glo • April - 167,477 people tested per day; • May - 345,361 people tested per day; • June - 547,480 people tested per day; • July - 696,396 people tested per day thru July 12th . More people are testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 per day, and thousands more people are being rested per day. Due to me significant increase in number of people being tested, the overall percentage of people testing positive dropped from a peak of 19.6% on April 12th to 7.8% on July 12th _ Contact Tracers Can Diagnose Without Contact During our investigation, one of the most concerning pieces of information our team has come across is the empowerment of Contact Tracers (CTs) to diagnose without medical !raining, medical licensure, medical eJ(amination, or even being required to make physical or verbal contact with the prospective patient as allowed for by the CDC's April 14th adoption of the CSTE position paper (section VII.A3].9

The CDC followed up this dubious authorization with guidance issued on June 17th , 2020.14 "The development and implementation of a robust data management infrastructure will be critical for assigning and managing investigations, linking clients with confirmed and probable COVID-1 9 to their contacts, and evaluating success and opportunities for improvement in a case investigation and contact tracing program. COVID-19 case investigations will likely be triggered by one of three events: 1. A positive SARS-CoV-2 laboratory test or 2. A provider report of a confirmed or probable COVID-19 diagnosis or 3. Identification of a contact a having COVI0-19 through contact tracl g If testing is not available [or declined], symptomatic close contacts should be advised to self-isolate and be managed as a probable case. Self-isolation is recommended for people with probable or confirmed COVID-19 who have mild illness and are able to recover at home." What this reveals Is that CTs are authorized to diagnose a New COVID-19 case without being medically trained or legally licensed to do so. Even more concerning is that CTs are empowered to do this without needing to examine or take a health history from a prospective patient. If a person does not answer the call from a CT, then they are able to list that person as a Probable COVID-19 case and report their findings to their state health department for inclusion in reporting data.

This explains why Probable Cases have been rising daily since June 17th despite the dramatic increases in testing.15 Changes In Hospital Testing Protocols & The Inclusion Of COVID-19 Probable Hospitalizations With the abundant availability of PCR molecular testing, most hospitals in the country have adopted the policy of testing all hospital admissions for the SARS-CoV-2 virus upon admission to the hospital regardless of why that person is being admitted. People admitted for elective surgeries are required to be tested. People admitted for injuries or accidents are being tested. People in need of care for chronic comorbid conditions are being tested, and so furth. If a person tests positive for presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, regardless of symptom presentation or reason for admission, they are now officially counted as a COVID-19 hospitalized case. This change in policy, neve: undertaken before, makes il now almost impossible to distinguish between people being admitted for COVID-19 symptoms and people being admitted who simply tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, but are being admitted for reasons other than COVID-19 symptomatology. As a result, under this methodology of data categorization, hospital numbers have risen and will continue to rise until there are substantive changes to how data is being reported that allows everyone to clearly distinguish between the two vastly different new patient scenarios. Even worse is the reality that an unacceptable percentage of hospital admissions are 'Probable' ('Suspected'} and not lab confirmed. This is exemplified in this graphic provided by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health on July 12th that shows roughly 70-80% of COVID-19 Hospital Admissions are not lab confirmed. Be aware that the Massachusetts Department of Public Health is doing one of the best jobs in reporting among all state health departments despite the highly questionable CDC guidelines they are being confined to adhere to.

These severe breakdowns in accurate, clear data collection and reporting were initiated by the CDC on March 24th, reinforced again in their adoption of the CSTE's April 14th position paper, and then reinforced yet again with a June 13th update of hospital testing guidelines for the safe discharge of COVID-19 positive patients. 16, 17

Per the CDC June 13th Update: "Recommended testing to determine resolution of infection with SARS-CoV-2 A test-based strategy, which requires serial tests and improvement of symptoms, can be used, as an alternative to a symptom-based or lime-based strategy, to determine when a person with SARS-CoV-2 infection no longer requires isolation or work exclusion. This strategy could be considered in three situations: Discontinuation of Tran mission-Based Precautions and Disposition of Patients with COVID-1 9 in Healthcare Settings Test-based strategy • Resolution of fever without the use of fever-reducing medications and • Improvement in respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath}, and • Negative results of an FDA Emergency Use AutMnzed COVID-19 molecular assay tor detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA from at least two consecutive respiratory specimens collected 224 hours apart (total of two negative specimens)" What this reveals is that if a person is admitted to a hospital they must be tested every 24 hours until they produce 2 consecutive negative PCR tests regardless of whether they have the serologic presence of antibodies or there is no serologic detection of the virus in the bloodstream. Why is this important? This is important because the PCR test has been reported to be inaccurate 50% of the time it is used according to Dr. Lee as reported in the lntemattonal Journal of Geriatrics and Rehabilita\Jon published" on July 17th, 2020. In this study, up to 30% of PCR tests resulted in false positives and

The generally accepted medical standard for lab test accuracy is 95% and above, but in a situation like this 70 to 80% would likely be deemed as acceptable by most medical professionals. Additionally. the mere presence of viral nucleic acids does not necessarily indicate active viral infection nor viral replication. Nucleic acid fragments from a viral entity may exist ,n patient tissues because of ImmunologIcal destructmn of the virus, v.hich is supposed to happen and potentially occurred several weeks prior to specimen collection. What PCR testing may be discovering Is not evidence of a current infection, but rather the remnants of a prior infection that the patient has already recovered from.

Conclusion Clearly, we have to make significant changes to our case, hospitahzat1on, and fatality definitions, data collect1or, and reporting as a country, if the ultimate goal is accuracy in reporting for pol icy-level decision making in the best interests of all Americans. Had the CDC used the well-established and successful methodology for recording COVID-19 related fatalities, as it does for all other causes of death, the fatality counts would be significantly lower. How much lower? We may never know. However, when we base our estimates upon the comorbidity data being published by New York, Massachusetts, Georgia, Oklahoma, Utah, Pennsylvan;a and Iowa the data suggests that accurate fatality rates could drop by approximately 90.2%.

How much would using the Medical Examiners' and Coroners' Handbook on Death Registration and Fetal Death Reporting rather than the March 24th NVSS guidelines and the April 14°1 CSTE position paper completely reshape the way we see COVID-19? How much would it address the fear of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and the implications, which so many media outlets have attempted to instilled within us? And would any objective American have any worry for our children's safety if they knew that pneumonia and influenza have each claimed more lives in the Oto 14 age demographic than COVID-19? We have serious professional and ethical concerns with empowering people with limited medical training to diagnose any medical condition without examining the prospective patient and reviewing a full health history with them as Contact Tracers are doing. We have serious professional and ethical concerns with hospitals admitting patients as COVID-19 case without definitive evidence. 'vVe have serious professional and ethical concerns with licensed physicians and nurses being required to classify aH hospitalizotions as COVID- 19, regardless of reason for admission, or if the patient tests positive or is suspected to have contracted the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Making this a requirement prevents trained medical professionals from using their best judgment in determining diagnosis. We have serious professional and ethical concerns with COVID-19 having much lower standards of evidence and much broader categories for inclusion into reports as Probable compared to reporting for all other infectious diseases. In medicine, we are taught not to guess when we can know, but that basic ethos for safe practice and the sharing of accurate information has not been applied to COVID-19 in our professional opinions. And we have serious professional and ethical concerns with medical examiners and coroners being required to list COVID-19 on Part I line item (a) as the cause of death in the clear presence of comorbid conditions with verifiable medical history, rather than trusting our healthcare professionals to do the job they are trained to do and have done so well, for so many years. Medical examiners and coroners play a crucial role in saving lives by producing accurate data licensed healthcare professionals to use in clinical setcings. There is something to be learned in every loss of life. Sadly, what we are learning with COVID-19 is that accuracy in reporting does not matter as much as inflating the data and fanning the flame offear. Should American children, educational professionals, small business owners, workers and our country as a whole have to suffer because critical mistakes were made in the adoption of unnecessary new reporting rules? Should public: hP.alth officials, with no expertise in public: educ.ation and economic: policy, be given unchecked power to create polir.ies that adversely impact the mental, emotional, and social development of our children, suppress small-business economic opportunity, and threaten to destroy the livelihoods of tens of millions of Americans in the name of safety? These are questions ail Americans deserve an answer to and questions we ali must answer for ourselves ... our collective future depend,, upon it. Mahalo.

~~Busted: 11 COVID Assumptions Based on ear ot act~~

By Makia Freeman Global Research, July 13, 2020 The Freedom Articles 2 July 2020 Ur1 of this article: '1ths " ,. N. globillr<3~"'larrh.•~1l'' ' -1. nv:d-11. suwpt,nns-t,ased-fear-not-fact ·5 71 R3o:l

COVID assumptions - the assumptions people make about COVID, how dangerous it is, how it spreads and what we need to do to stop it - are running rampant, running far more wildly than the supposed virus SARS-CoV2 itself. The coldly calculated campaign of propaganda surrounding this 'pandemic' has achieved its aim. Besieged with a slew of contradictory information coming from all angles, people in general have succumbed to confusion. Some have given up trying to understand the situation and found it is just easier to obey official direcrives, even if it means giving up long-held rights. Below is a list of commonly held COVID assumptions which, if you believe them, will make you much mote likely to submit to the robotic, insane and aboormal conditions of the New Normal - screening, testing, contact tracing, monitoring, surveillance, mask-wearing, social distancing, quarantine and isolation, with mandatory vaccination and microchipping to come. Assumption 1: The Method of Counting COVID Deaths is Sensible and Accurate A grand assumplion of the COVID plandemic is that the numbers are real and accurate, especially the dealh toll. Yet, nothing could be further from the truth. We have had confirmation after confirmation after confirmation (in nations all over the world) that authorities are counting the deaths in a way that makes no sense. Well, 1t makes no sense 1f you want to be sensible or accurate, but 1t makes perfect sense if you are trying to artificially inflate the numbers and create the impression of a pandemic where there is none. The sleight of hand is achieved by counting those who died with the v rus as dying from the virus. This one trick alone is responsible for vastly skewing the numbers and turning the 'official' death count into a meaningless farce devoid of any practical value. Assumption 2: The PCR Test for COVID is Accurate As I covered in previous articles, the PCR test (Polymerase Chain Reaction) was invented by scientist Kary Mullis as a manufacturing technique (since it is able to replicate DNA sequences millions and billions of times), not as a diagnostic tool. COYID or SARS-CoV2 ~ Kod s_postulates. The virus which shut the Norld down has still to this day never been isolated, purified and re injected, or in other words, has never been 100% proven to exist, nor 100% proven to be the cause of the disease. When used to determine the cause of a disease, the PCR test has many flaws: 1. There is no gold standard to which to compare its results (COVID fails Koch's postulates); 2. It detects and amplifies genetic code (RNA sequences) but offers no proof these RNA sequences are of viral origin; 3. It generates many false positive results; 4. The PCR test can give a completely opposite result (positive or negative) depending upon the number of cycles or amplifications that are used, which is ultimately arbitrarily chosen. For some diseases, if you lower the number of cycles to 35, it can make everyone appear negative, while if you increase them to above 35, it can make everyone appear positive; 5. Many patients switch back and forth from posrtIve to negative when taking the PCR test on subsequent days; and 6. Even a positive result does not guarantee the discovered 'virus' is the cause of the disease! In summary, the PCR test doesn't identify or isolate viruses, doesn't rovide RNA sequences of pathogens, offers no baseline for comparison with patient samples, and cannot determine an infected from an uninfected sample. That is staggenngiy useless! Here is a quote from the article vOV1D Id PCR Tests are ::>c:ont1f1cai1y_ Moaning™: uTests need to be evaluated to determine their preciseness - strictly speaking their "sensitivity" and "specificity" - by comparison with a "gold standard, " meaning the most accurate method available. As an example, for a pregnancy test the gold standard would be the pregnancy itself. But as Australian infectious diseases specialist Sanjaya Senanayake, for example, stated in an ABC TV interview in an answer to the question "How accurate is the [COVID-19] testing?": If we had a new test for picking up [the bacterium] golden staph in blood, we've already got blood cultures, that's our gold standard we've been using for decades, and we could match this new test against that. But for COVIO-19 we don't have a gold standard test.· Jessica C. Watson from Bristol University confirms this. In her paper "Interpreting a COVID-19 test result", published recently in The British Medical Journal, she writes that there is a '1ack of such a clear-cut 'gold-standard' for COVID-19 testing."u Here is the admission about the PCR test bY. the CDC and FDA: "Detec ion of viral RNA may not indicate the presence of infec -ous virus or that 20 9-nCoV is tf:e causative agent for clinical symptoms ... this test cannot rule out diseases caused by other bacterial or viral pathogens_ " Accurate would be about die last word i would use to describe COVID PCR testing, yet it is currently the standard test worldwide for COVID. Another magnificent example of many COVID assumptions. Go figure. Assumption 3: The Antibody Test for COV lf you realized by reading the last section that the COVID PCR tests are flawed and meaningless, get ready for more absurdity with the COVID antibody tests. As I covered in the article COVID Ant,bodr.. Tests: Here Comes More Tricke[Y.. and Fake[Y-, there are numerous reasons why the antibody tests don't really work and can be interpreted any way you want:

https://www.globalresearch.ca/11-covid-assumptions-based-fear-not-facU5718352?print= 1 1/5 11112/2020 Busted: 11 COVID Assumptions Based on Fear Not Fact- Global ResearchGlobal Research .- 1. Old blood samples contain COVID antibodies, so if a test find antibodies, they may have been there for years or decades. There is no way to tell if they were recently acquired; 2. Like the COV!D PCR test, they generate many false positive results; 3. They test for antibodies which may not even be specific for COVID; 4. Antibodies don't actually prove immunity, since there are people who fight off disease with little or no antibodies, and conversely, there are those with high antibody titers or counts, but who still get sick; and 5. The results can be interpreted any way you want The presence of antibodies could mean you're safe and immune to future COV!D waves, or conversely, it cuuld mean you're dangerous (sick and infected right now). !t"s all about the interpretation.

Hhmmm ... all these COVID assumptions are not exactly reassuring, are they? Assumption 4: he COVID Case Count Is Rising Someone skeptical of the alternative view I am painting here may ask at this point: well if COVID is not that dangerous, how come cases keep rising? The answer is simple: because there is more testing. The more we test, the more cases we will find, because this 'virus' (really an RNA sequence) is far more widespread than we have been told, and there are far more asymptomatic people than we have been told (which shows it's not that dangerous). As discussed in previous articles, there is really no proof that people didn't have this particular RNA sequence for years or decades before the test, so the test results are quite meaningless. That aside, a general rule of thumb is that wherever there are people trying to gain power, there will be fraud, and COVID testing is no exception. It has been exposed that tens of thousands of coronavirus tests have been double counted (in the UK, but probably happening in many places). This article explains that the •discrepancy is in large part explained by the practice of counting saliva and nasal samples for the same individual twice." Additionally, the COVID tes s are using the PCR method as discussed above in COVID Assumption 3, which has many flaws, including the flaw of results fhppmg back and forth dependmg on the number of cycles, as this previously quoted article states: ·· ... it is hardly surprising that there are several papers illustrating irrational test results. For example, already in February the health authority in China's Guangdong province reported that people have fully recovered from illness blamed on COVID-19, started to test "negative,· and then ~ 'positive· again. A month later, a paper published in the Journal of Medical Virology showed that 29 out of 610 patients at a hospital in Wuhan had 3 to 6 test results that flipped between "negafive", ..)2ositive" and "dubious". A third example is a study from Singapore in which tests were carried out almost daily on 18 patients and the majority went from "positive" to ·negative" back to "positive" at least once, andJJP-. to five times in one {}.at,ent. Even Wang Chen, president of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, conceded in Februar1 that the PC,q tests are 1mf:t 30 to 50 {}.er cent accurate": while Sin Hang Lee from the Milford Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory sent a Jetter to the WHO's coronav,rus response team and to Anthony S. Fauci on March 22, 2020. saying that: "It has been widely reported in the social media that the RT-qPCR [Reverse Transcriptase quantitative PCRJ test kits used to detect SARSCoV-2 RNA in human specimens are generating many false positive results and are not sensitive enough to detect some real positive cases. • " A sumption 5: Thermal Imaging/Screening for COVID is Effective Taking people's temperature by pointing a gun at their head is blatant conditioning. It sends the subliminal message that the State is all powerful and can aim a gun-like device at your head, and you are powerless to do anything but submit. On a practical level, taking people's temperatures has no effect in stopping viral spread. Even if someone has an elevated temperature, what does that mean? There is a natural variation in human body temperatures; everyone operates at a slightly different temperature. Besides, even if your temperature is elevated, that could be because you were just exercising, running to catch a flight, just had an angry conversation with someone. just got the phone after a stressful call, had to discipline a disobedient child. etc. Think about all the things that make you stressed and irritated, or raise your blood pressure, which could lead to an elevated temperature!

In this way it is similar to the antibody test; it can show a result, but the result can be interpreted in so many ways that it renders the result pointless in terms of science (although there is a very much a point in terms of control). Al:lsump ion 6: Asymptoma -c P o le an pread One particular piece of propaganda hammered in hard to people's brains which is still doing great damage is the idea that anyone could be a carrier and could therefore infect anyone else_ This has the effect of making people anxious, scared and even paranoid in just going about their daily life. However the Idea that asymptomatic people can spread the disease is not something to worry about. This Chinese study A studx. on infectivity~y_m{}_tomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers published in May 2020 exposed 455 subjects to asymptomatic carriers of SARS-CoV2. None of the 455 were infected! WHO (World Health Org<>nization) official Or. Maria van Kerkhove was [eporte-d by: MSM CNBC saying the following last month in June (though she later backtracked her comments):

·-From the data we have, It still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual," Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHO 's emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said at a news briefing from the United Natwns agency·s Geneva headquart rs_ "Ifs very rare. =

As umption 7: Making Schools Adopt Insanely Restrictive Mea ure Will Stop COVIC Spread Of the many COVID assumptions floating around, these next two are based on the idea that children are a significant source of COViD spread. They are not! The figures from WorldOMeter state that children aged 0-17 years have 0.02-0.06% share of world COVID deaths, which is essentially zero. Meanwhile, CDC stats show that "among 149,082 (99.6%) cases for which patient age was known, 2,572 (1 7%) occurred in children aged <18 years"which is likewise a tiny fraction. With this in mind, why on Earth wou!d the CDC issue these draconian guidelines (pictured above and also found at 1!:!i.s.JJ.o!s in full) for American schoolchildren, if not to condition and dehumanize them? Assumption 8: It's a Good Idea for Government to ttfte Abduct Kids from COVID-Positive Parents Governmental abduction of children using COVID as a pretext has begun. This article from June 17th 2020 reports how the "LA County Dept. of Children and Family Services (DCFS) recommended that the court remove [a] child from their physical custody after the parent tested positive for COViD-19. This is a non-offending parent. The judge ruled in favor of DCFS and detained." Let that sink in for a minute. The State stole a child from his/her parents just because a parent showed a COVID-positive result on a (deeply flawed) test! Can anyone spell T-Y-R-A-N-N-Y? This is the outcome of the sinister and oxymoronic warning given by yY_tf.Q official Michael Ry.an in March, that people would be removed from their families in a "safe and dignified" way. Ryan said: «tn some senses, transmission has been taken off the streets and pushed back into family units. Now we need to go and look in families to find those people who may be sick and remove them and isolate them in a safe and dignified manner." Mercola.com ref,lorts that the CDC is recommending newborns be separated at birth from their parents for COVID testing.

How bad does it have to get before people wake up to what is happening? Assumption 9: Social Dis ancing is Backed by Solid Scientific Evidence Another of the baseless COVID assumptions is that all this social distancing or physical distancing is backed by solid scientific evidence. It's not. Whether it's 6 feet, 1.5 meters or 2 meters, the virus seems to be able to jump different distances depending upon what country it is in. The article There is no scientific evidence to su1w_ort the disastrous two-metre rule states: "The influential Lancet review provided evidence from 172 studies in support of physical distancing of one metre or more. This might sound impressive, but all the studies were retrospective and suffer from biases that undermine the reliability of their findings." , Meanwhile UK governmental advisor Robert Dingwall .saiQ: -we cannot sustain [soc,al distancing measures] without causing serious damage to society, to the economy and to the physical and mental health of the population .. .I think it will be much harder to get compliance with some of the measures that really do not have an evidence base. I mean the two-metre rule was conjured up out of nowhere ... Well, there is a certain amount of scientific evidence for a one-metre distance which comes out of indoor studies in clinical and experimental settings. There 's never been a scientific basis for two metres. it's kind of a rule of thumb. But it's not like there is a whole kind of rigorous scientific literature that it is founded upon. • Of course, the assumption that social distancing works is based on the underlying assumption that there is a distinct and isolated virus SARS-CoV2 which is contagious and is the sole cause of all the disease - which has not been proven. Assumption 10: Mask Wearing for Healthy People is Backed by Soiid Scientific Evid nee The penultimate assumption for today is the wonderful topic of masks, or face diapers and face nappies as many have started calling them. One of the COVID assumptions that many are still clinging to is that it is 'respectful' to wear masks because masks protect healthy individuals from getting sick from viruses. This is patently false. As covered in the previous article Unmasking...1./Jfl.

https://www.globalresearch.ca/11-covid-assumptions-based-fear-not-facU5718352?print= 1 3/5 11 11212020 Busted: 11 COVID Assumptions Based on Fear Not Fact - Global ResearchGlobal Research .- -;-,-.;, .. St1,,dies Sno•1 i.Jenumamzmg f,.asAs Weaken You and Don t Protect You, masks are designed for surgeons or paople who are already sick, not for healthy people. They stop sick people spreading a disease through large respiratory droplets; they do nothing to protect well people. In fact, they restrict oxygen flow leading to under-oxygenation (hypoxia). which in turns leads to fatigue. weakness and a lower immunity. With a lower immunity comes ... more susceptibility to disease. As I previously wrote, the masks many people are wearing - homemade from cloth - arc a joke if you think they will stop a virus which is measured in nanometers (nanometer = 1o- 9 meters, or 0.000000001 meters). They won't stop a virus but they will assuredly become a hotbed for microbes to develop due to the warm and humid conditions. For the scientifically minded, here's what Or. Russell Blaylock had to say: "The importance of these findings is that a drop in oxygen levels (hypoxia) is associated with an impairment in immunity. Studies have shown that hypoxia can inhibit the type of main immune cells used to fight viral infections called the CD4+ T lymphocyte. This occurs because the hypoxia increases the level of a compound called hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), which inhibits T-lymphocytes and stimulates a powerful immune inhibitor cell called the Tregs. This sets the stage for contracting any infection, including COViD-19 and making the consequences of that infection much graver. In essence, your mask may very well put you at an increased risk of infections and if so, having a much worse outcome.• Assumption 11: We Live in a World of Indiscriminate Killer Viruses The bigg"st assumption of this entire scamdemic is that viruses are indiscriminate killers which car. cross species and jump bodies through the air to infect people. In fact, the nature of the humble virus has been totally misunderstood by mainstream science, fueled by the Medical Industry which promotes germ theory and the myth of contagion to keep you in fear and to raise demand for its toxic products (Big Pharma petrochemical drugs and vaccines}. Viruses have been demonized. As discussed in earlier articles such as Deen Down the Virus Rabbit Hole - Question Eve[Y.1.hing, virologist Dr. Stefan Lanka exposed the truth that viruses do not cause disease. Lanka famously won a 2017 Supreme Court in Germany where he proved that measles was not caused by a vin.is. Lanka writes: "Smee June 1954. the death of tissue and cells in a test lube has been regarded as proof for the existence of a virus ... according to scientific logic and the rules of scientific conduct, control experiments should have been carried out . . . These control experiments have never been carried out by official science to this day. During the measles virus trial, I commissioned an mdependent labOratory to perform this control expenment and the result was that the tissues and cells die due to the laboratory conditions in the exact same way as when they come into contact with allegedly "infected" material. in other words, the ceils die of star,1alion and poisoning (since they are separated from energy and nutrients from the body, and since toxic antibiotics are injected into the cell culture), not from being infected by a virus. This great video presentation entitled Viral Misconceptions· The True Nature of Viruses is we!I worth watching. It outlines many stunning truths about the nature of viruses. such as:

• Vin.1ses are created from within your cells; they do not come from outside the body • They arise as a result of systemic toxicity, not because the body has been invaded by an external threat • Viruses dissolve toxic matter when body tissue is too toxic for living bacteria or microbes to feed upon without being poisoned to death. Without viruses, the human body couldn't achieve homeostasis and sustain itself in the face of systemic toxicity • Viruses are very specific. They dissolve specific tissues in the body. They do this with the assistance of antibodies • The more toxicity you have in your body, the more viral activity you will have • The only vector transmission of a virus is through blood transfusion or vaccines; otherwise, viruses cannot infect you by jumping from one t.orly to another • Viruses are discriminatory by nature, made by the body for a specific purpose. They are not indiscriminate killers • The RT-PCR test (PCR test for short} observes genetic material left over by the virus, not the vims itself (see assumption 2) Conclusion: Time to Question all Your COVID Assumptions

The good news is that these are assumptions not facts. When you look closely, you will realize the entire official narrative on COVID is a house of cards built on sand. It cannot stand up to close scrutiny. This knowledge is the key to remaining sane and free in a COVID crazed and brainwashed world. Spread the word. Evidence, information and knowledge will dispel assumptions and ignorance.

This article first published on April 3. 2020 provides a detailed overview. In the last two months, numerous medical reports confirm that the Covid-19 "estimates" have been the object of manipulation with a view to sustaining the fear campaign. The public has been misinformed. The figures are inflated. The dangers of infection are vastly exaggerated. Ironically, Anthony Fauci, Adviser to Donald Trump confirms in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). that COVID-19 is "akin to severe seasonal influenza or pandemic influenza." Miche1Chossudovsky, August2,2020 Part I Introduction Do not let yourself be misled by the fear campaign, pointing to a Worldwide coronavirus calamity with repeated "predictions" that hundreds of thousands of people are going to die. These are boldface lies. Scientific assessments of the health impacts of the COVID-19 have been withheld, they do not make the headlines. While COVI0-19 constitutes a serious health issue. why is it the object of a Worldwide fear campaign? According to the WHO. 'The most commonly reported symptoms [COV-19] included fever, dry cough, and shortness of breath, and most 11.atients (80%) ex11.erienced mild illness. " Examine the contradictory headlines:

~~0 ······-~~

Statistical Models by Washington think tanks predict a scenario of devastation suggesting that "more than a million Americans could die if the nation does not take swift action to stop its spread as quickly as possible". One model from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggested that between 160 million and 210 million Americans could contract the disease over as long as a year. Based on mortality data and current hospital capacity, the number of deaths under the CDC's scenanos ranged from 200,000 to as many as 1. 7 m1ll1on. (IbJL!::!J!.!,_March 13, 2020) The Unspoken Truth: Unprecedented Global Crisis The unspoken truth is that the novel coronavirus provides a pretext to powerful financial interests and corrupt politicians to trigger the entire World into a spiral of mass unemployment. bankruptcy. extreme poverty and despair. This is the true picture of what is happening. "Planet Lockdown" is an encroachment on civil liberties and the "Right to Life". Entire national economies are in jeopardy. In some countries martial law has been deciared. Small and medium sized capital are slated to be eliminated. Big capital prevails. A massive concentration of corporate wealth is ongoing. Is a diabolical "New World Order" in the making as suggested by Henry Kissinger {~Qinion _l:iQril 3 2.Q.2.Q}· "The Coronavirus Pandemic Will Forever Alter the World Order".

Recall Kissinger's historic 1974 statement: "Depopulation should be the highest priority of US foreign policy towards the Third World." (1974 National Security Council Memorandum) This crisis is unprecedented in World history. It is destabilizing and destroying people's lives Worldwide. It's a "War against Humanity' . While it is presented to World public opinion as a WHO global health emergency, what is rt:ally at stake are the mechanisms of "economic warfare" sustained by fear and intimidation, with devastating consequences. The economic and social impacts far exceed those attributed to the coronavirus. Cited below are selected examples of a global process: • Massive job losses and layoffs in the US, with more than 1o million workers filing claims for unemR!Qyment benefits. • In India, a 21 days lockdown has triggered a wave of famine and despair affecting millions of homeless migrant workers all over the country. No :ocl-.down tor the homeless: "too poor to afford a meal'. • The impoverishment in Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa is beyond description. For large sectors of the urban population, household income h,1s literally been wiped out. • In Italy, the destabilization of the tourist industry has resulted in bankruptcies and rising unemployment. • In many countries, citizens are the object of police violence. Five people involved in protests against the lockdown were killed by police in Kenya and South Africa. The WHO's global health emergency was declared on January 30th, when there were 150 confirmed cases outside China. From the outset 1t was basea on a Big Lie. Moreover, the timing of the WHO emergency coincided with America's ongoing wars as well simmering financial instability on the World s stock markets. Is the global lockdown which engineers Worldwide economic destruction in any way related to America's global military agenda? "The coronavirus pandemic is magl'li.fy.ing the cruelty of us foreig•-~i'. This is an exceedingly complex process which we have examined in detail in the course of the last two months. Consult our archjye on coronavirus. To reverse the tide, we must confront the lies. And the lies are overwhelming.

Spread of the COVID-19 Infection - Global ResearchGlobal Research • When the Lie becomes the Truth, there is No Moving Backwards. Part II In Part fl we will focus on the following issues:

• the definition of COV/0-19 and the assessment of the number of "confirmed cases", • the risks to people's health, • how the alleged epidemic is measured and identified. The Spread of the COVID-19 Infection

In many countries including the US. there is no precise lab test which will identify COV/0-19 as the cause of a positive infection. Meanwhile the media will not only quote unreliable statistics, it will forecast a doomsday scenario. Let us put the discussion on COVID-19 in context. What is a Human Coronavirus. "Coronaviruses are everywhere". They are categorized as "the second leading cause of the common cold (after rhinoviruses)". Since the 2003 outbreak of SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus), several (new) corona viruses were identified. COVID-19 is categorized as a novel or new corona virus initially named SARS-CoV-2. According to Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, pneumonia is "regularly caused or accompanied by corona viruses". And that has been the case for many years prior to the identification of the COVID-19 in January 2020: [It is a] well-known fact that in every "flu wave" 7-15% of acute respiratory illnesses (ARI) are coming along with coronaviruses" The COVID-19 belongs to the family of coronviruses which trigger colds and seasonal influenza. We will also address the lab tests required to estimate the data as well as the spread of the COVID-19 The WHO defines the COVID-19 as follows: "The most commonly reported symptoms [of COVID-19] included fever, dry cough, and shortness of breath, and most patients (80%) experienced mild illness. Approximately 14% experienced severe disease and 5% were critically ill. Earty reports suggest that illness severity is associated with age (>60 years old) and co-morbid disease." (largely basing on WHO's assessment of COVID-19 in China) The prestigious New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) in an article entitled Covid-19 - Navigating the Uncharted provides the following definition: The overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%} or a pandemic influeni:a (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively.· These assessments cont1rm that COVID-19 1s akin to seasonal influenza and pneumonia, categorized as contagious respiratory infections. If the above definitions had made the headlines, there would have been no fear and panic. The COVID-19. Tests and Data Coilection The H1 N1 Pandemic 2009. Deja Vu This is not the first time that a global health emergency has been called by the WHO in close liaison with Big Pharma. In 2009, the WHO launched L'1e H1N1 Swine Flu Pandemic predicting that "as many as 2 billion people could become infected over the next two years - nearly one-third of the world population." (World Health Organization as reported by the Western media, July 2009). One month later WHO Director General Dr. Margaret Chan stated that "Vaccine makers could produce 4.9 billion pandemic flu shots per year in the best-case scenario",( Margaret Chan. Director-Gi=meral, World Health Organization (WHO), quoted by Reuters, 21 July 2009) While creating an atmosphere of fear and insecurity, pointing to an impending global public heaith cns1s, the WHO nonetheless acknowledged that the H1N1 symptoms were moderate and that "most people will recover from swine flu within a week, just as they would from seasonal forms of influenza" (WHO statement, quoted in the Independent, August 22, 2009). And President Obama's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology stated with authority, "reassuring public opinion" that "the H1N1 pandemic is a serious health threat... to the U.S. - not as serious as the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic bul worse than the swine flu outbreak of 1976." H1N1 Fake Data In many regards, the H1 N1 2009 pandemic reveals the problems of data collection and analysis which we are facing now in relation to COVID-19 Following the outbreak of the H1N1 swine flu in Mexico, the data collection was at the outset sc.anty and incomplete, as confirmed by official statements. The Atlanta based Center for Disease Control (CDC) acknowledged that what was being collected in the US were figures of "confirmed and probable cases". There was, however, no breakdown between "confirmed" and "probable". In fact, only a small percentage of the reported cases were "confirmed" by a laboratory test. There was no attempt to improve the process of data collection in terms of lab confirmation. In fact quite the opposite. Following the level 6 Pandemic announcement by Dr. Margaret Chan, both the WHO and the CDC decided that data collection of individual confirmed and probable cases was no longer necessary to ascertain the spread of swine flu. One month after the announcement of the level six pandemic, the WHO discontinued the collection of -confirmed cases". It did not require member countries to send 1n figures pertaining to confirmed or probable cases.

"Confirmed Cases": The CDC Methodology The CDC methodology in 2020 is broadly similar (with minor changes in terminology) to that applied to the H1N1 pandemic in 2009. "Probable cases· was replaced by "Presumptive cases·. Presumptive vs. Confirmed Cases According to the CDC the data presented for the United States include both "confirmed" and "presumptive" positive cases of COVID-19 reported to CDC or tested at CDC since January 21, 2020". The presumptive positive data does not confirm coronavirus infection: Presumptive testing involves "chemical analysis of a sample that establishes the possibility that a substance is present" (emphasis added). Bui it does not confirm the presence of COVID-19. The presumptive test must then be sent for confirmation to an accredited government health lab. (For further details see: Michel Chossudovsky, ~ninning Fear and Panic Across America. Analysis of COVID-19 Data, March 20, 2020) How is the COVID-19 Data Tabulated?

The presumptive (PC) and confirmed cases (CC) are lumped together. And the lotai number (PC + CC ) consiitutes lhe basis for establishing the data for COVID-19 infection. It's like adding apples and oranges. The total figure (PC+CC) categorized as "Total cases" 1s meaningless. It does not measure positive COVID-19 Infection. And among those "total cases· are ·recovered cases". CDC Data for April 5, 2020

But there 1s another important cons1derat1on: the required CDC lab test pertaining to CC (confirmed cases) is intended to ·confirm the infection". But does it confirm that the infection was caused by COVID-19? The COVID-19 is a coronavirus which is associated with the broad symptoms of seasonal influenza and pneumonia. Are the lab exams pertaining to COVID-19 (confirmed cases) in a position to establish unequivocally the prevalence of COVID-19 positive infection?

Spread of the COVID-19 Infection - Global ResearchGlobal Research ,. Has t~e COVID-19 been singled out as the source of an active infection, when the infection could be the result of other viruses and/or bacteria? Important Question?

Are the tests conducted in the US since January 2020 (pertaining to upper and lower respiratory specimens) which confirm infection from one or more causes (without proof of COVID-19) entered in the CDC data banks as "confirmed cases" of COVI0-19? As outlined by the CDC: "The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease." Moreover, the presumptive cases" referred to earlier -which do not involve the test of a respiratory specimen- are casually lumped together with "confirmed cases" which are then categorized as "Tota! Ci:ises". Another fundamental question: What is being tested? Inasmuch as COVID-19 and Influenza have similar symptoms, to what extent are the data pertaining to COVID-19 "overlapping" with those pertaining to vi ral influenza and pneumonia? The test pertaining to active infection could be attributed either to influenza or COVID-19, or both? What is More Dangerous: Seasonal Influenza or covI0:.19? Influenza -which has never been the object of a lockdown- appears from the recorded data on mortality to be "more dangerous" than COVID-19? Based on the figures below, the recorded annual death rate pertaining to Influenza is substantially higher than that pertaining to COVID-19. (This is a rough comparison, given the fact that the recorded data pertaining to COVID-19 is not on an annual basis). The latest data WHO data pertaining to COVID-19 (Globally, all countries and territories): 40,598 deaths (recorded up until April 1, 2020). The estimates of annual mortality pertaining to Influenza: Historicaliy of the order of 250 000 to 500 000 annually (globally). (WHO). The most recent WHO estimates (2017): 290 000 - 650 000 deaths globally (annual).

The CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel ,s only for use under a Food and Drug Administration's Emergency Use Authorization.

Summary and Explanation An outbreak of pneumonia of unknown etiology in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China was initially reported to WHO on December 31 2019. Chinese authorities identified a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), which has resulted in thousands of confirmed human infections in multiple provinces throughout China and many countries including the United States. Cases of asymptomatic infection, mild illness, severe illness, and some deaths have been reported.

The CDC 2019-nCoV Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel is a molecular in vitro diagnostic test that aids in the detection and diagnosis 2019-nCoV and is based on widely used nucleic acid amplification technology. The product contains oligonucleotide primers and dual-labeled hydroiysis probes (TaqMan®) and control material used in rRT-PCR for the in vitro qualitative detection of 2019-nCoV RNA in respiratory specimens.

The term "qualified laboratones· refers to laboratories m which all users, analysts, and any person reporting results from use of this device should be trained to perform and interpret the results from this procedure by a competent instructor prior to use.

~~Principles of the Procedure~~

The oligonucleotJde primers and probes for detection of 2019-nCoV were selected from regions of the virus nucleocapsid (N) gene. The panel is designed for specific detection of the 2019-nCoV (two primer/probe sets). An additional primer/probe set to detect the human RNase P gene (RP) ,n control samples and clinical specimens is also included in the panel.

RNA isolated and purified from upper and lower respiratory specimens is reverse transcribed to cDNA and subsequently amplified in the Applied B10- ysterns 7500 Fast Dx Real-Time PCR Instrument with SOS vers10n 1 4 oftware In the process, the probP anneals to a specific target sequence located between the forward and reverse primers. During the extension phase of the PCR cycle, the 5' nuclease activity of Taq polymerase degrades the probe. causing the reporter dye to separate from the quencher dye. generating a fl uorescent signal. With each cycle, additional reporter dye molecules are cleaved from their respective probes, increasing the fl uorescence intensity. Fluorescence intensity is monitored at each PCR cycle by Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast Ox Real-Time PCR System with SOS version i .4 softv.are.

~~Detection of viral RNA not only aids in the diagnosis of illness but also provides epidemiological and surveillance information.~~

CDC is working to develop a new laboratory test to assist with efforts to determine how much of the U.S. population has been exposed to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2}, the virus that causes COVID-19.

The serology test will look for the presence of antibodies, which are specific proteins made in response to infections. Antibodies can be found m the t>iood and ir. othPr tissues of those who ar"' tested after mfect1on fhe ant1bo1:l1es detected by this test 1nd1cate that a person had an immune response to SARS-CoV-2, whether symptoms developed from infection or the infection was asymptomatic. Antibody lest results are important in detecting infections with few or no symptoms.

Initial work to develop a serology test for SARS-CoV-2 is underway at CDC. In order lo develop the lest, CDC needs blood samples from people who had C0\/I0-19 at least 21 days after their symp:oms first started. Researchers are currently working to develop the basic parameters for the test, which will be refined as more samples become available. Once the test is developed, CDC will need additional samples to evaluate whether the test works as intended.

"Scientists are doing an awful lot of damage to the world in the name of helping it. I don't mind attacking my own fraternity because I am ashamed of it." -Kary Mullis, Inventor of Polymerase Chain Reaction In the US, we have all but abandoned classical diagnostic medicine in favor of biotech, or lab result medicine. This has been going on for a long time and is a dangerous turning. The "Corona test" is named with characteristic tech-tedium: "CDC 2019-nCo V Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel. • That means it is a needle in a DNA haystack test. A PCR test It finds fragments, nucleic acids. According to Nobel Laureate Dr. Kary Mullis inventor: "PCR detects a very small segment of the nucleic acid which is part of a virus itself. The specific fragment detected is determined by the somewhat arbitrary choice of DNA primers used which become the ends of the amplified fragment.• Celia Farber ( quoted from complete article)

What do we mean when we say somebody has 'tested positive' for the Corona Virus? The answer would astound you. But getting this "answer" is like getting to a very rare mushroom that only grows above 200 feet on a Sequoia tree in the forbidden forest. I say that for dramatic effect, but also because I wound up, against all odds, finding it. Every day I wake up and work at shedding one more layer of ignorance -by listening carefully. I got lucky with scientists many years ago; Epic, incredible scientists, happening to cross my path when nobody else wanted to talk to them. Now their names are emerging, their warnings and corrections crystallizing. True "science" (the nature of the natural world) is never bad news. Globalist science is nothing but bad news.

How many of us are "infected" with this novel Corona virus, and how scared should we be? People die-yes. But people don't die at the mercy of malicious, predatory pathogens, "lurking" on every surface, and especially other humans. That's not "science." That's social engineering. Terrorism. Let's proceed. What do we mean when we say a person "tests positive" for Covid-19? We don't actually mean they have been found to "have" it. We've been hijacked by our technologies, but left illiterate about what they actually mean. In this regard, I spent time with, and interviewed the inventor of the method used in the presenUy available Covid-19 tests, which is called RT-PCR, (Polymerase Chain Reaction.). His name is Kary B. Mullis, (image left) he passed away in August of last year. He was one of the warmest, funniest, most eclectic-minded people I ever met, in addition to being a staunch critic of HIV "science," and an unlikely Nobel Laureate, i.e. a "genius." One time, in 1994, when I called to talk to him about how PCR was being weaponized to "prove," almost a decade after it was asserted, that HIV caused AIDS, he actually came to tears.

The people who have taken a// your freedoms away in recent weeks, they're social engineers, politicians, globalist thought leaders, bankers, foundations HO fanatics, and the like. Their army is composed of ·mainstream media," which is now literally a round-the clock perfect propaganda machine in support of the so-called "Pandemic". Kary Mullis was a scientist. He never spoke like a globalist, and said once, memorably, when accused of making statements about HIV that could endanger lives: "I'm a scientist. I'm not a lifeguard." That's a very important line in the sand. Somebody who goes around claiming they are "saving lives," is a very dangerous animal, and you should run in the opposite direction when you encounter them. Their weapon is fear, and their favorite word is "could.· They entrap you with a form of bio-debt, creating simulations of every imaginable thing that "could" happen, yet hasn't. Bill Gates has been waiting a long time for a virus with this much, as he put it, "pandemic potential." But Gates has a problem, and it's called PCR. https://www.globalresearch.ca/was-covid-19-test-meant-detect-virus/5724713?print=1 1/2 11 11312020 Does the PCR Test Detect the Virus? - Global ResearchGlobal Research

PCR played a central role in the HIV war (a war you don't know about, that lasted 22 years, between Globalist post-modern HIV scientists and classical scientists.) The latter lost the war. Unless you count being correct as winning. The relentless violence fi nally silenced the opposition, and it seemed nobody would ever learn who these scientists were, or why they fought this thing so adamantly and passionately. And PCR, though its inventor died last year, and isn't here to address it. plays a central role in Corona terrorism.

OK, here we go. Smoking gun. Jackpot. Right from the horse's mouth. Right from the man we 're told is the number-one COVID expert in the nation. What Fauci says is golden truth. Well, how about THIS? July 16, 2020, podcast, "This Week in Virology": Tony Fauci makes a point of saying the PCR COVID test is useless and misleading when the test is run at ·35 cycles or higher." A positive result, indicating infection, cannot be accepted or believed. Here, in techno-speak, is an excerpt from Fauci's key quote (starting at about the 4-minute mark [1]): • ... If you get [perform the test at] a cycle threshold of 35 or more ... the chances of it being replication-confident [aka accurate] are miniscule ... you almost never can culture virus [detect a true positive result] from a 37 threshold cycle ... even 36 .. . " Each "cycle" of the test is a quantum leap in amplification and magnification of the test specimen taken from the patient. Too many cycles, and the test will turn up all sorts of irrelevant material that will be wrongly interpreted as relevant.

That's called a false positive. What Fauci failed to say on the video is: the FDA, which authorizes the test for public use, recommends the test should be run up to 40 cycles. Not 35. Therefore, all labs in the US that follow the FDA guideline are knowingly or unknowingly participating in fraud. Fraud on a monstrous level, because .. . Millions of Americans are being told they are infected with the virus on the basis of a false positive result, and .. . The total number of COVID cases in America-which is based on the test-is a gross falsity. The lockdowns and other restra ining measures are based on these fraudulent ca se numbers. Let me back up and run that by you again. Fauci says the test is useless when it's run at 35 cycles or higher. The FDA says run the test up to 40 cycles, in order to determine whether the virus is there. This is the crime in a nutshell. If anyone in the White House has a few brain cells to rub together, pick up a giant bullhorn and start revealing the truth to the American people. ·Hello, America, you've been tricked, lied to, conned, and taken for a devastating ride. On the basis of fake science, the country was locked down." If anyone in the Congress has a few brain cells operating, pull Fauci into a televised hearing and, in ten minutes, make mincemeat out of the fake science that has driven this whole foul, stench-ridden assault on the US economy and its citizens. All right, here are two chunks of evidence for what I've written above. First, we have a CDC quote on the FDA website, in a document titted [2}: "CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel For Emergency Use Only." See page 35. This document is marked, "Effective: 07/13/20." That means, even though the virus is being referred to by its older name, the document is still relevant as of July 2020. "For Emergency Use Only" refers to the fact that the FDA has certified the PCR test under a traditional category called "Emergency Use Authorization.· FDA: " ... a specimen is considered positive for 2019-nCoV [virus] if all 2019-nCoV marker (N1, N2) cycle threshold growth curves cross the threshold line within 40.00 cycles(< 40.00 Ct)." Naturally, MANY testing labs reading this guideline would conclude, "Well, to see if the virus is there in a patient, we should run the test all the way to 40 cycles. That's the official advice."

Then we have a New York Times article (August 29/updated September 17) headlined: r'our coronav,rus test 1s 120s1tive. Maybe it shouldn't be. [3] Here are money quotes: "Most tests set the limit at 40 [cycles]. A few at 37." "Set the limir would usually mean, "We're going to look all the way to 40 cycles, to see if the virus is there." The Times: "This number of amplification cycles needed to fi nd the virus, called the cycle threshold, is never included in the results sent to doctors and coronavirus patients .. ." Boom. That's the capper, the grand fi nale. Labs don't or won't reveal their collusion in this crime. https://www.globalresearch.ca/smoking-gun-fauci-states-covid-test-fatal-fl aw-confession-beloved-expert-experts/5728933?print=1 1/2 11/1 3/2020 Smoking Gun: Dr. Fauci States COVID Test Has Fatal Flaw; Confession from the "Beloved" Expert of Experts - Global ResearchGlobal .. .

~~COVID19 PCR ests Are Scientifically Meaningless~~

~~By Torsten Engelbrecht and Konstantin Demeter Global Research, October 18, 2020 OffGuardian 27 June 2020 Uri of this article: bi~. obalrL 3earc11.ec,1cov1d19-12cr-tes.s-sgenhfically-meaning~ - 5717253~~

First published on June 29, 2020 Lockdowns and hygienic measures around the world are based on numbers of cases and mortality rates created by the so-called SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR tests used to identify "positive' patients, whereby "positive" is usually equated with "infected. " But looking closely at the facts, the conclusion is that these PCR tests are meaningless as a diagnostic tool to determine an alleged infection by a supposedly new virus called SARS-CoV-2. Unfounded "Test, Test, Test, ... " mantra At the media briefing on COVID-19 on March 16. 2020. the WHO Director General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said: We have a simple message for all countries: test, test, test."

The message was spread through headlines around the world, for instance by Ee..Y!fil§. and the BBC. Still on the 3 of May, the moderator of the Heute journal - one of the most important news magazines on German television- was passing the mantra of the corona dogma on to his audience with the admonishing words: Test, test, test-that is the credo at the moment, and it is the only way to really understand how much the coronavirus is spreading." This indicates that the belief in the validity of the PCR tests is so strong that it equals a religion that tolerates virtually no contradiction. But it is well known that religions are about faith and not about scientific facts. And as Watter Lippmann, the two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and RerhaRS the most influential journalist of the 20th centu(Y.said: "Where all think alike. no one thinks ve(Y. much. " So to start, it is very remarkable that Kary Mullis himself, the inventor of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology, did not think alike. His invention got him the Nobel prize in chemistry in 1993. Unfortunately, Mullis passed away last year at the age of 74, but there is no doubt that the biochemist regarded the PCR as iilsl 2RIT>wiate to detec1 a v, JI mfectjon. The reason is that the intended use of the PCR was, and still is, to apply it as a manufacturing technique, being able to replicate DNA sequences millions and billions of times, and not as a diagnostic tool to detect viruses. How declaring virus pandemics based on PCR tests can end in disaster was described by Gina Kolata in her 2007 New York Times article Faith in Quick Test Leads to EP.Jdemic That Wasn 't. Lack of a valid gold standard Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the PCR tests used to identify so-called COVID-19 patients presumably infected by what is called SARS-CoV-2 do not have a valid gold standard to compare them with. This is a fundamental point. Tests need to be evaluated to determine their preciseness - strictly speaking their "sensitivity"[1] and "specificity" - by comparison with a "gold standard," meaning the most accurate method available. As an example, for a pregnancy test the gold standard would be the pregnancy itself. But as Australian infectious diseases specialist Sanjaya Senanayake, for example, stated in an ABC TV interview in an answer to the question "How accurate is the [COVID-19) testing?": If we had a new test for picking up [the bacterium] golden staph in blood, we've already got blood cultures, that's our gold standard we've been using for decades, and we could match this new test against that. But for COVID-19 we don't have a gold standard test." Jessica C. Watson from Bristol University confirms this. In her paper "lnterweting a COVID-19 test result", published recently in The British Medical Journal, she writes that there is a "lack of such a clear-cut 'gold-standard' for COVID-19 testing." But instead of classifying the tests as unsuitable for SARS-CoV-2 detection and COVID-19 diagnosis, or instead of pointing out that only a virus, proven through isolation and purification, can be a solid gold standard, Watson claims in all seriousness that, "pragmatically" COVID-19 diagnosis itself, remarkably including PCR testing itself, "may be the best available 'gold standard'." But this is not scientifically sound. Apart from the fact that it is downright absurd to take the PCR test itself as part of the gold standard to evaluate the PCR test, there are no distinctive specific symptoms for COVID-19, as even people such as Thomas Loscher, former head of the Department of Infection and Tropical Medicine at the University of Munich and member of the Federal Association of German Internists, conceded to us[2]. https://www.globalresearch.ca/covid 19-pcr-tests-scientifically-meaningless/5717253?print=1 1/6 11 /13/2020 COVID19 PCR Tests Are Scientifically Meaningless - Global ResearchGlobal Research And if there are no distinctive specific symptoms for COVID-19, COVID-19 diagnosis - contrary to Watson's statement - cannot be suitable for serving as a valid gold standard. In addition, "experts" such as Watson overtook the fact that only virus isolation, i.e. an unequivocal virus proof, can be the gold standard. That is why I asked Watson how COVID-19 diagnosis "may be the best available gold standard," if there are no distinctive specific symptoms for COVID-19, and also whether the virus itself, that is virus isolation, wouldn't be the best available/possible gold standard. But she hasn't answered these questions yet - despite multiple requests. And she has not yet responded to our rapid response post on her article in which we address exactly the same points, either, though she wrote us on June 2nd: "I will try to post a reply later this week when I have a chance.• No proof for the RNA being of viral origin Now the question is: What is required first for virus isolation/proof? We need to know where the RNA for which the PCR tests are calibrated comes from. As textbooks (e.g. , White/Fenner. Medical Virology, 1986, p. 9) as well as leading virus researchers such as Luc Montagn.ifil...Qr Dominic Dwyer state, particle purification - i.e. the separation of an object from everything else that is not that object, as for instance Nobel laureate Marie Curie purified 100 mg of radium chloride in 1898 by extracting it from tons of pitchblende - is an essential pre requisite for proving the existence of a virus, and thus to prove that the RNA from the particle in question comes from a new virus. The reason for this is that PCR is extremely sensitive, which means it can detect even the smallest pieces of DNA or RNA - but it cannot determine where these particles came from. That has to be determined beforehand. And because the PCR tests are calibrated for gene sequences (in this case RNA sequences because SARS-CoV-2 is believed to be a RNA virus), we have to know that these gene snippets are part of the looked-for virus. And to know that, correct isolation and purification of the presumed virus has to be executed. Hence, we have asked the science teams of the relevant papers which are referred to in the context of SARS-CoV-2 for proof whether the electron-microscopic shots depicted in their in vitro experiments show purified viruses. But not a single team could answer that question with "yes" - and NB., nobody said punficahon was not a necessary step. We only got answers like "No, we did not obtain an electron micrograph showing the degree of purification" (see below). We asked several study authors "Do your electron micrographs show the purified virus?", they gave the following responses: Study 1: Leo L. M. Poon; Malik Peiris. "Emergence of a novel human coronavirus threatening human health" Nature Medicine, March 2020 Replying Author: Malik Peiris Date: May 12, 2020 Answer: 'The image is the virus budding from an infected cell. It is not purified virus." Study 2: Myung-Guk Han et al. "Identification of Coronavirus Isolated from a Patient in Korea with COVID-19", Osong Public Health and Research Perspectives, February 2020 Replying Author: Myung-Guk Han Date: May 6, 2020 Answer: ··we could not estimate the degree of punfication because we do not purify and concentrate the virus cultured in cells. " Study 3: Wan Beom Park et al. "Virus Isolation from the First Patient with SARS-CoV-2 in Korea", Journal of Korean Medical Science, February 24, 2020 Replying Author: Wan Beom Park Date: March 19, 2020 Answer: "We did not obtain an electron micrograph showing the degree of purification.• Study 4: Na Zhu et al., ·'A Novel Coronavirus from Patients with Pneumonia in China ··. 2019, New England Journal of Medicine, February 20, 2020 Replying Author: Wenjie Tan Date: March 18, 2020 Answer: "[V'✓e show] an image of sedimented virus particles, not purified ones." Regarding the mentioned papers it is clear that what is shown in the electron micrographs (EMs) is the end result of the experiment, meaning there is no other result that they could have made EMs from. That is to say, if the authors of these studies concede that their published EMs do not show purified particles, then they definitely do not possess purified particles claimed to be viral. (In this context, it has to be remarked that some researchers use the tenn "isolation" in their papers, but the procedures described therein do not represent a proper isolation (purification) process. Consequently, in this context the term "isolation" is misused). Thus, the authors of four of the principal, early 2020 papers claiming discovery of a new coronavirus concede they had no proof that the origin of the virus genome was viral-like particles or cellular debris, pure or impure, or particles of any kind. In other words, the existence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA is based on faith , not fact. We have also contacted Dr Charles Calisher, who is a seasoned virologist. In 2001, Science published an "impassioned plea ... to the youngergeneration"from several veteran virologists, among them Calisher, saying that: [modem virus detection methods like] sleek polymerase chain reaction [ ... ] tell little or nothing about how a virus multiplies, which animals carry it, [or] how it makes people sick. [It is] like trying to say whether somebody has bad breath by looking at his fingerprint."[3] And that's why we asked Dr Calisher whether he knows one single paper in which SARS-CoV-2 has been isolated and finally really purified. His answer: https://www.globalresearch.ca/covid 19-pcr-tests-scientifically-meaningless/5717253?print=1 2/6 11/13/2020 ' COVID19 PCR Tests Are Scientifically Meaningless - Global ResearchGlobal Resea rch I know of no such a publication. I have kept an eye out for one."[4]

This actu~lly means _that o_ne _cann?t conclude th~t the RNA gene sequences, which the scIentIsts took from the tissue samples prepared m the mentioned m vitro trials and for which the PCR tests are finally being "calibrated," belong to a specific virus - in this case SARS-CoV-2.

In addition, there is no scientific proof that those RNA sequences are the causative agent of what is called COVID-19. In order to establish a causal connection, one way or the other, i.e. beyond virus isolation and purification, it would have been absolutely necessary to carry out an experiment that satisfies the four Koch's postulates. But there is no such experiment, as Amory Devereux and Rosemary Frei recently revealed for OffGuardian. The necessity to fulfill these postulates regarding SARS-CoV-2 is demonstrated not least by the fact that attempts have been made to fulfill them. But even researchers claiming they have done it, in reality, did not succeed. One example is a study RUblished in Nature on May_l. This trial, besides other procedures which render the study invalid, did not meet any of the postulates.

For instance, the alleged "infected" laboratory mice did not show any relevant clinical symptoms clearly attributable to pneumonia, which according to the third postulate should actually occur if a dangerous and potentially deadly virus was really at work there. And the slight bristles and weight loss. which were observed temporarily in the animals are negligible, not only because they could have been caused by the procedure itself, but also because the weight went back to normal again. Also, no animal died except those they killed to perform the autopsies. And let's not forget: These experiments should have been done beforedeveloping a test, which is not the case. Revealingly, none of the leading German representatives of the official theory about SARS-Cov-2/COVID-19 - the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), Alexander S. Kekule (University of Halle), Hartmut Hengel and Ralf Bartenschlager (German Society for Virology), the aforementioned Thomas Loscher, Ulrich D1magl (Charite Berlin) or Georg Bomkamm (virologist and professor emeritus at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Munich) - could answer the following question I have sent them: /fthe particles that are claimed to be to be SARS-CoV-2 have not been purified, how do you want to be sure that the RNA gene sequences of these particles belong to a specific new virus? Particularly, if there are studies showing that substances such as antibiotics that are added to the test tubes in the in vitro experiments carried out for virus detection can "stress" the cell culture in a way that new gene sequences are being formed that were not weviously_ detectable - an aspect that Nobel laureate Barbara McC/intock already drew attention to in her Nobel Lecture back in 1983. It should not go unmentioned that we finally got the Charite - the employer of Christian Drosten, Germany's most influential virologist in respect of COVID-19, advisor to the German government and co-developer of the PCR test which was the first to be "accepted" (not validated!) by the WHO worldwide - to answer questions on the topic. But we didn't get answers until June 18, 2020, after months of non-response. In the end, we achieved it only with the help of Berlin lawyer Viviane Fischer. Regarding our question "Has the Charite convinced itself that appropriate particle purification was carried out?,• the Cha rite concedes that they didn't use purified particles. And although they claim "virologists at the Charite are sure that they are testing for the virus, " in their paper (Corman et al.) they state: RNA was extracted from clinical samples with the MagNA Pure 96 system (Roche, Penzberg, Germany) and from cell culture supematants with the viral RNA mini kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany)," Which means they just assumed the RNA was viral. Incidentally, the Corman et al. paper, published on January 23, 2020 didn't even go through a proper peer review process, nor were the procedures outlined therein accompanied by controls - although it is only through these two things that scientific work becomes really solid. Irrational rest results It is also certain that we cannot know the false positive rate of the PCR tests without widespread testing of people who certainly do not have the virus, proven by a method which is independent of the test (having a solid gold standard). Therefore, it is hardly surprising that there are several papers illustrating irrational test results. For example, already in February the health authority in China's Guangdong province reported that people have fully recovered from illness blamed on COVID-19, started to test ·negative," and then tested "Rositive· again. A month later, a paper published in the Journal of Medical Virology showed that 29 out of 610 patients at a hospital in Wuhan had 3 to 6 test results that flipped between "negative",_'.'.Rositive " and "dubious". A third example is a study from Singapore in which tests were carried out almost daily on 18 patients and the majority went from "positive· to "negative· back to "positive" at least once, and_,m .o .ive tirr.es in 01._ R-- ti ~nt. Even Wang Chen, president of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, conceded in February that the PCR tests are "only_ 30 to 50 P..er cent accurate"; while Sin Hang Lee from the Milford Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory sent a letter to the WHO's coronavirus re.sRQn.Se. team and to Anthony S . Fauci on March 22, 2020, saying that: It has been widely reported in the social media that the RT-qPCR [Reverse Transcriptase quantitative PCR] test kits used to detect SARSCoV-2 RNA in human specimens are generating many false positive results and are not sensitive enough to detect some real positive cases.• https://www.globalresearch.ca/covid19-pcr-tests-scientifically-meaninglessl5717253?print=1 3/6 11/13/2020 COVID19 PCR Tests Are Scientifically Meaningless - Global ResearchGlobal Research In other words, even if we theoretically assume that these PCR tests can really detect a viral infection, the tests would be practically worthless, and would only cause an unfounded scare among the "positive" people tested. This becomes also evident considering the positive predictive value (PPV). The PPV indicates the probability that a person with a positive test result is truly "positive" (ie. has the supposed virus), and it depends on two factors: the prevalence of the virus in the general population and the specificity of the test, that is the percentage of people without disease in whom the test is correctly "negative" (a test with a specificity of 95% incorrectly gives a positive result in 5 out of 100 non-infected people). With the same specificity. the higher the prevalence, the higher the PPV. In this context, on June 12 2020, the journal Deutsches Arzteb/attpublished an article in which the PPV has been calculated with three different wevalence scenarios. The results must. of course. be viewed very critically, first because it is not possible to calculate the specificity without a solid gold standard, as outlined, and second because the calculations in the article are based on the specificity determined in the study by Jessica Watson, which is potentially worthless, as also mentioned. But if you abstract from it, assuming that the underlying specificity of 95% is correct and that we know the prevalence, even the mainstream medical journal Deutsches Arzteblatt reports that the so-called SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR tests may have "a shockingly low" PPV. In one of the three scenarios, figuring with an assumed prevalence of 3% , the PPV was only 30 percent, which means that 70 percent of the people tested "positive" are not "positive" at all. Yet "they are prescribed quarantine," as even the Arzteblatt notes critically. In a second scenario of the journal's article, a prevalence of rate of 20 percent is assumed. In this case they generate a PPV of 78 percent, meaning that 22 percent of the "positive" tests are false "positives." That would mean: If we take the around 9 million people who are currently considered "positive" worldwide - supposing that the true "positives" really have a viral infection - we would get almost 2 million false "positives." All this fits with the fact that the CDC and the FDA, for instance, concede in their files that the so-called "SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR tests" are not suitable for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis. In the "CDC ~-Novel CJrona.irus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic P~ file from March 30, 2020, for example, it says: Detection of viral RNA may not indicate the presence of infectious virus or that 2019-nCoV is the causative agent for clinical symptoms" And: This test cannot rule out diseases caused by other bacterial or viral pathogens."

And the .f M admits 1J1: positive results [ ... J do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease." Remarkably, in the instruction manuals of PCR tests we can also read that they are not intended as a diagnostic test, as for instance in those by Altona Diagnostics and Creative Diagnostics(fil. To quote another one, in the product announcement of the LightM1x Modular Assays produced by TIB Molbiol - which were developed using the Corman et al. protocol - and distri buted bY. Roche we can reap: These assays are not intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of coronavirus infection• And: For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures." Where is the evidence that the tests can measure the "viral load"? There is also reason to conclude that the PCR test from Roche and others cannot even detect the targeted genes. Moreover, in the Qroduct descriQtions of the RT-qPCR tests for SARS-COV-2 it says they are '.'._Qu alitati ve" tests, contrary to the fact that the "q" in '"qPCR" stands for -quantitative." And if these tests are not ··quantitative" tests, they don't show how many viral panic/es are in the body.

That 1s crucial because, in order to even begin talking about actual illness in the real world not only in a laboratory, the patient would need to have millions and millions of viral particles actively replicating in their body. That is to say, the CDC, the WHO, the FDA or the RKI may assert that the tests can measure the so-called "viral load,: i.e. how many viral particles are in the body. "But this has never been proven. That is an enormous scandal," as the journalist .Lo.n..figRRQR.Q!i~ out. This is not only because the term "viral load" is deception. If you put the question "what is viral load?" at a dinner party, people take it to mean viruses circulating in the bloodstream. They're surprised to learn it's actually RNA molecules. Also, to prove beyond any doubt that the PCR can measure how much a person is "burdened" with a disease-causing virus. the following experiment would have had to be carried out (which has not yet happened): You take, let's say, a few hundred or even thousand people and remove tissue samples from them. Make sure the people who take the samples do not perform the test. The testers will never know who the patients are and what condition they're in. The testers run https://www.globalresearch.ca/covid 19-pcr-tests-scientifically-meaningless/5717253 ?print= 1 4/6 1~/13/2020 COVID19 PCR Tests Are Scientifically Meaningless - Global ResearchGlobal Research the~r PCR on the tissue samples. In each case, they say which virus they found and how much of it they found. Then, tor example, in patients 29. 86, 199. 272, and 293 they found a great deal of what they claim is a virus. Now we un-blind those patients. They should all be sick, because they have so much virus replicating in their bodies. But are they really sick- or are they fit as a fiddle? With the help of the aforementioned lawyer Viviane Fischer, I finally got the Charite to also answer the question of whether the test developed by Corman et al. - the so-called "Drosten PCR test" - is a quantitative test. But the Charite was not willing to answer this question "yes". Instead, the Charite wrote: If real-time RT-PCR is involved, to the knowledge of the Charite in most cases these are[. .. ] limited to qualitative detection." Furthermore, the "Drosten PCR test" uses the unspecific E-gene assay as welimina[Y. assaY., while the lnstitut Pasteur uses the same assay as confirmato[Y. assay.

According to Corman et al., the E-gene assay is likely to detect all Asian viruses, while the other assays in both tests are supposed to be more specific for sequences labelled "SARS-Cov-2·• . Besides the questionable purpose of having either a preliminary or a confirmatory test that is likely to detect all Asian viruses, at the beginning of April the WHO changed the algorithm, recommending that from then on a test can be regarded as "positive" even if just the E-gene assay (which is likely to detect all Asian viruses!) g~positive" result. This means that a confirmed unspecific test result is officially sold as specific. That change of algorithm increased the "case• numbers. Tests using the E-gene assay are produced for example by Roche, TIB Molbiol and R-Biopharm. High CQ values make the test results even more meaningless Another essential problem is that many PCR tests have a "cycle quantification• (Cq) value of over 35, and some, including the ·orosten PCR tesr, even have a Cq of 45. The Cq value specifies how many cycles of DNA replication are required to detect a real signal from biological samples. "Cq values higher than 40 are suspect because of the implied low efficiency and generally should not be reported, • as it says in the MIQE guidelines. MIQE stands for "Minimum Information for Publication of Quantitative Real-Time PCR Experiments", a set of guidelines that describe the minimum information necessary for evaluating publications on Real-Time PCR, also called quantitative PCR, or qPCR. The inventor himself, Kary Mullis, agreed, when he stated: If you have to go more than 40 cycles to amplify a single-copy gene, there is something seriously wrong with your PCR." The MIQE guidelines have been developed under the aegis of Stephen A. Busti n, Professor of Molecular Medicine, a world-renowned expert on quantitative PCR and author of the book A-Z of Quantitative PCR which has been called "the bible of qPCR." In a recent podcast interview Bustin points out that "the use of such arbitrary Cq cut-offs is not ideal, because they may be either too low (eliminating valid results) or too high (increasing false upositive" results)."

And, according to him, a Cq of 20 to 30 should be aimed at, and there is concern regarding the reliability of the results for any Cq over 35. If the Cq value gets too high, it becomes difficult to distinguish real signal from background, for example due to reactions of primers and fluorescent probes, and hence there is a higher probability of false positives. Moreover, among other factors that can alter the result, before starting with the actual PCR, in case you are looking for presumed RNA viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, the RNA must be converted to complementary DNA (cDNA) with the enzyme Reverse https://www.globalresearch.ca/covid19-pcr-tests-scientifically-meaningless/5717253?print=1 5/6 11/13/2020 COVID19 PCR Tests Are Scientifically Meaningless - Global ResearchGlobal Research Transcriptase-hence the "RT" at the beginning of "PCR" or "qPCR." But this transformation process is "widely recognized as inefficient and variable," as Jessica Schwaber from the Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine in Toronto and two research colleagues ROinted out in a 2019 rumer. Stephen A. Bustin acknowledges problems with PCR in a comparable way. For example, he pointed to the problem that m the course of the conversion process (RNA to cDNA) the amount of DNA obtained wrth the same RNA base material can vary widely, even by a factor of 10 (see above interview). Considering that the DNA sequences get doubled at every cycle, even a slight variation becomes magnified and can thus alter the result, annihilating the test's reliable informative value. So how can it be that those who claim the PCR tests are highly meaningful for so-called COVID-19 diagnosis blind out the fundamental inadequacies of these tests-even if they are confronted with questions regarding their validity? Certainly, the apologists of the novel coronavirus hypothesis should have dealt with these questions before throwing the tests on the market and putting basically the whole world under lockdown, not least because these are questions that come to mind immediately for anyone with even a spark of scientific understanding. Thus, the thought inevitably emerges that financial and political interests play a decisive role for this ignorance about scientific obligations. NB, the WHO, for example has financial ties with drug companies, as the British Medical Journal showed in 2010. And exRerts criticize ihat the notonous corruption and conflicts of interest at WHO have continued, even grown· since then. The CDC as well, to take another big player, is obviously no better off. Finally, the reasons and possible motives remain speculative, and many involved surely act in good faith; but the science 1s clear: The numbers generated by these RT-PCR tests do not in the least justify frightening people who have been tested "positive" and imposing lockdown measures that plunge countless people into poverty and despair or even drive them to suicide. And a "positive" result may have serious consequences for the patients as well, because then all non-viral factors are excluded from the diagnosis and the patients are treated with highly toxic drugs and invasive intubations. Especially for elderly people and patients with pre-existing conditions such a treatment can be fatal, as we have outlined in the article "Fatal TheraRie. " Without doubt eventual excess mortality rates are caused by the therapy and by the lockdown measures, while the "COVID-19" death statistics comprise also patients who died of a variety of diseases, redefined as COVID-19 only because of a "positive" test result whose value could not be more doubtful.

First published by Global Research on March 27, 2020 The following is from a medical forum. The writer, who is a widely respected professional scientist in the US. prefers to stay anonymous, because presenting any narrative different than the official one can cause you a tot of stress in the toxic environment caused by the scam which surrounds COVID- 19 these days. - Julian Rose *** I work in the healthcare field. Here's the problem, we are testing people for any strain of a Coronavirus. Nol specifically for COVID-19. There are no reliable tests for a specific COVID-19 virus. There are no reliable agencies or med"ia outlets for reporting numbers of actual COVID-19 virus cases. This needs to be addressed first and foremost. Every action and reaction to COVID-19 is based on totally flawed data and we simply can not make accurate assessments.

This 1s why you're heanng that most people with COVID-19 are showmg nothing more than coidtftu hke symptoms. That's because most Coronavirus strains are nothing more than cold/flu like symptoms. The few actual novel Coronavirus cases do have some worse respiratory responses, but still have a very promising recovery rate. especially for those without prior issues.

The 'gold standard' in testing for COVID-19 is laboratory isolated/purified coronavirus particles free from any contaminants and particies that look like viruses but are no , that have been pro·,en to be the cause of the syndrome known as COVID-19 and obtained by using proper viral isolation methods and controls (not the PCR that is currently being used or Serology /antibody tests which do not · detect virus as such). PCR basically takes a sample of your cells and amplifies any DNA to look for 'viral sequences . i.e. bits of non human DNA that seem to match parts of a known viral genome. The problem is the test is known not to work. It uses 'amplification' which means taking a very very tiny amount of DNA and growing it exponentially until it can be analyzed. Obviously any minute contaminations in the sample will also be amplified leading to potentially gross errors of discovery.

~~Additionally, it's only looking for partial viral sequences. not whole genomes, so identifying a single pathogen is next to impossible even ir you ignore the other issues.~~

The Mickey Mouse test kits being sent out to hospitals, at best, tell analysts you have some viral DNA in your cells. Which most of us do, most of the time. It may tell you the viral sequence is related to a specific type of virus - say the huge family of coronavirus. But that's all. The idea these kits can isolate a specific virus like COVID-19 is nonsense.

And that's not even getting into the other issue - viral load. if you remember the PCR works by amplifying minute amounts of DNA. It therefore is useless at telling you how much virus you may have. And that's the only question that really matters when it comes to diagnosing illness. Everyone will have a few virus kicking round in their system at any time, and most will not cause illness because their quantities are too small. For a virus to sicken you you need a lot of it, a massive amount of it. But PCR does not test viral load and therefore can't determine if it is present in sufficient quantities to sicken you.

~~If you feel sick and get a PCR test any random virus DNA might be identified even if they aren't at all involved in your sickness which leads to false diagnosis.~~

~~And coronavirus are incredibly common. A large percentage of the world human population will have covi DNA in them in small quantities even if they are perfectly well or sick with some other pathogen.~~

~~Do you see where this is going yet? If you want to create a totally false panic about a totally false pandemic - pick a coronavirus.~~

~~They are incredibly common and there's tons of them. A very high percentage of people who have become sick by other means (flu, bacterial pneumonia. anything) will have a positive~~

~~PCR test for covi even if you're doing them property and ruling out contamination, simply because covis are so common.~~

There are hundreds of thousands of flu and pneumonia victims in hospitals throughout the world at any one time. All you need to do is select the sickest of these in a single location - say Wuhan - ::idminister PCR tests to them and claim anyone showing viral sequences similar to a coronavirus (which will inevitably be quite a few) is suffering from a 'new' disease. Since you already selected the sickest flu cases a fairly high proportion of your sample will go on to die.

You can then say this 'new' virus has a CFR higher than the flu and use this to infuse more concern and do more tests which will of course produce more 'cases', which expands the testing, which produces yet more 'cases' and so on and so on. https://www.globalresearch.ca/manufactured-pandemic-testing-people-any-strain-coronavirus-not-specifically-covid-19/5707781 ?print= 1 1/2 11/12/2020 Manufactured Pandemic: Testing People for Any Strain of a Coronavirus, Not Specifically for COVID-19 - Global Research Global Resea ... Before long you have your ·pandemic', and all you have done is use a simple test kit trick to convert the worst tlu and pneumonia cases into something new that doesn't actually exist. Now Just run the same scam m other countries. Making sure to keep the fear message running high so that people will feel panicky and less able to think critically. Your only problem is going to be that - due to the fact there is no actual new deadly pathogen but just regular sick people, you are mislabeling your case numbers, and especially your deaths, are going to be way too low for a real new deadly virus pandemic. But you can stop people pointing this out in several ways. 1. You can claim this is just the beginning and more deaths are imminent. Use this as an excuse to quarantine everyone and then claim the quarantine prevented the expected millions of dead. 2. You can tell people that 'minimizing' the dangers is irresponsible and bully them into not talking about numbers. 3. You can ta!k crap about made up numbers hoping to b!ind people with pseudoscience. 4. You can start testing well people (who, of course, will also likely have shreds of coronavirus DNA in them) and thus inflate your 'case figures' with 'asymptomatic carriers' (you will of course have to spin that to sound deadly even though any virologist knows the more symptom-less cases you have the less deadly is your pathogen. Take these 4 simple steps and you can have your own entirely manufactured pandemic up and running in weeks. They can not "confirm" something for which there is no accurate test.

This week, my colleague and friend Sally Fallon Morell brought to my attention an amazing article put out by the CDC. The link to the article is here, and it was published in June 2020. The purpose of the article was for a group of about 20 virologists to describe the state of the science of the isolation, purification and biological characteristics of the new AR -CoV-2 virus, and to share this information with other scientists for their own research. A thorough and careful reading of this important paper reveals some shocking findings.

First, in the section titled "Whole Genome Sequencing," we find that rather than having isolated the virus and sequencing the genome from end to end, they found 37 base pairs from unpurified samples using PCR probes This means they actually looked at 37 out of the approximately 30,000 of the base pairs that are claimed to be the genome of the intact virus. They then took these 37 segments and put them into a computer program, which filled in the rest of the base pairs.

To me, this computer-generation step constitutes scientific fraud. Here is an equivalency: A group of researchers claim to have found a unicorn because they found a piece of a hoof, a hair from a tail , and a snippet of a horn. They then add that information into a computer and program it to re-crea e the unicorn, and they then claim this computer re-creation is the real unicorn. Of course, they had never actually seen a unicorn so could not possibly have examined its genetic makeup to compare their samples with the actual unicorn's hair, hooves and horn.

https ://www sott.ne Uarticle/443103-Only-poisoned-monkey-kidney-cells-grew-th~SARS-CoV-2-virus 1/3 .- 11/12/2020 Only poisoned monkey kidney cells "grew' the SARS-CoV-2 'virus' - Health & Wellness - Sott.nei sort of like a vote. Again, different computer programs will come up with different versions of the imaginary "unicorn," so they come together as a group and decide which is the real imaginary unicorn.

~~The real blockbuster fi nding in this study comes later, a finding so shocking that I had to read it many times before I could believe what I was reading. Let me quote the passage intact:~~

Therefore, we examined the capacity of SARS-CoV-2 to infect and replicate in several common primate and human cell lines, including human adenocarcinoma cells (A549), human liver cells (HUH 7.0), and human embryonic kidney cells (HEK- 293T). In addition to Vero E6 and Vero CCL81 cells .... Each cell line was inoculated at high multiplicity of infection and examined 24h post-infection. o CPE was observed in any of the cell lines except in Vero cells, which grew to greater than 10 to the ]lh power at 24 h post-infection. In contrast, HUH 7.0 and 293T showed only modest viral replication, and A549 cells were incompatible with SARS CoV-2 infection.

What does this language actually mean, and why is it the most shocking statement of all from the virology community? When virologists attempt to prove infection, they have three possible "hosts" or models on which they can test. The first is humans. Exposure to humans is generally not done for ethical reasons and has never been done with SARS-CoV-2 or any coronavirus. The second possible host is animals. Forgetting for a moment that they never actually use purified virus when exposing animals, they do use solutions that they claim contain the virus. Exposure to animals has been done once with AR - oV-2, in an experiment that used mice. The researchers found that none of the wild (normal) mice got sick. In a group of genetically modified mice, a statistically insignificant number lost some fur. They experienced nothin like the illness called Covid 19.

The third method virologists use to prove infection and pathogenicity - the method they most rely on - is inoculation of solutions they say contain the virus onto a variety of tissue cultures. As I have pointed out many times, such inoculation has never been shown to kill (lyse) the tissue, unless the tissue is first starved and poisoned.

The shocking thing about the above quote is that using their own methods, the vir lo ists found that solution ntaining SARS-CoV-2 - even in nigh amounts - were NOT. I repeat NOT, 'nfectiv to any of the three--human tissue cultures-the tested. In plain English, this means they proved, on their terms, that this "new coronavirus" is not infectious to human beings. It is ONLY infective to monkey kidney cells, and only then when you add two potent drugs (gentamicin and amphotericin), known to be toxic to kidneys, to the mix.

My friends, read th is again and again. These virologists, published by the CDC, performed a clear proof, on their terms, showin that the SARS-CoV- 2 virus is harmless to human beings. That is the only possible conclusion, but, unfortunately, this result is not even mentioned in their conclusion. They simply say they can provide virus stocks cultured only on monkey Vero cells, thanks for coming.

We are posting my interview with the brilliant MIT researcher Dr. Stephanie Seneff today. In this interview, we cover many subjects having to do with circulation, Covid, glyphosate and the role of vitamin D in health and illness. Stephanie knows the medical literature on these subjects in a way that few others do. Some of her conclusions will surprise and challenge you. For example, she makes a compelling case that vitamin D supplementation is not a good idea.

Introduction Red Zones, the facemask, social distancing, the closing down of schools, colleges and universities, no more family gatherings, no birthday celebrations, music, the arts: no more cultural events, sport events are suspended, no more weddings, "love and life" is banned outright. And in several countries, Christmas is on hold .. . It's the destruction of people's lives. It is the destabilization of civil society. And for What? The Lies are sustained by a massive media disinformation campaign. 2417, Incessant and repetitive "Covid alerts" for the last ten months . .. . It is a process of social engineering. Manipulation of the Estimates. The RT-PCR Tests are Misleading. What they want is to hike up the numbers so as to justify the Lockdown. Millions of covid-Positive Tests. According to Dr. Pascal Sacre in an article entitled: The COVID-19 RT-PCR Test: How to Mislead All HumanifY.. Using a " Test" To Lock Do n SocietY.: . This misuse of RT-PCR technique is used as a relentless and intentional strategy by some governments, supported by scientific safety councils and by the dominant media, to justify excessive measures such as the violation of a large number of constitutional rights, the destruction of the economy with the bankruptcy of entire active sectors of society, the degradation of living conditions for a large number of ordinary citizens, under the pretext of a pandemic based on a number of positive RT PCR tests, and not on a real number of patients. Covid-19 is portrayed as the "killer Virus". Falsifying Death Certificates In the US, the deaths certificates are falsified on the instructions of the CDC. COVID-19: The "underlying cause of death". This concept ,s fundamental. It is defined by the WHO as "the disease or mJury that initiated the train of events leading directly to death".

The criteria have been changed. The CDC instructions are crystal clear. COVID-19 will be the underlY.ing cause of death "more often than not" Destroying Civil Society People are frightened and puzzled. "Why would they do this?" Empty schools, Empty airports, bankrupt grocery stores. In France "Churches are threatened with Kalashnikovs over Covid-19 outbreak" (April 2020}

Coronavirus: The church threatened with Kalashnikovs over Covid-19 outbre.1k The entire urban services economy is in crisis. Shops, bars and restaurants are driven into bankruptcy. International travel and holidays are suspended. Streets are empty. In several countries, bars and restaurants are required to take names and contact information "to support effective contact tracing if necessary".

Free Speech is Suppressed The lockdown narrative is supported by media disinformation, online censorship, social engineering and the fear campaign. Medical doctors who question the official narrative are threatened. They loose their jobs. Their careers are destroyed. Those who QRROSe the government lockdown are categorized as "anti-social R§Y.ChoRaths": Peer reviewed psychological "studies" are currently being carried in several countries using sample surveys. Accept the "big Lie" and you are tagged as a "good person" with "empathy" who understands the feelings of others . . . .[E]xpress reservations regarding ... social distancing and the weanng of the face mask, and you will be tagged (according to "scientific opinion") as a "callous and deceitful psychopath". In colleges and universities, the teaching staff Is pressured to conform and endorse the official covid narrative. Questioning the legitimacy of the lockdown in online "classrooms" could lead to dismissal. Google Is marketing the 81g Lie. The opinion of prominent scientists who question the lockdown, the face-mask or social distancing are "taken down": "YouTube doesn't allow content that spreads medical misinformation that contradicts the World Health Organization (WHO) or local health authorities' medical information about COVID-1 9, including on methods to prevent, treat or diagnose COVID-19, and means of transmission of COVID-19." (emphasis added)

They call it "fact checking", without acknowledging that both the WHO and local health authorities contradict their own data and concepts. March 11 , 2020: Engineered Economic Depression. Global Coup d'Etat? The Pandemic was launched by the WHO on March 11, 2020 leading to the Lockdown and closure of the national economies of 190 (out of 193) countries, member states of the United Nations. The instructions came from above, from Wall Street, the World Economic Forum, the billionaire foundations.This diabolical project is casually described by the corporate media as a "humanitarian" endeavor. The "international community" has a "Responsibility to Protect" (R2P). An unelected "private-public partnership" under the auspices of the World Economic Forum (WEF), has come to the rescue of Planet Earth's 7.8 billion people. The closure of the global economy is presented as a means to "killing the virus". Sounds absurd. Close down the real economy of Planet Earth is not the "solution" but rather the ·cause" of a process of Worldwide destabilization and impoverishment. The national economy combined with political, social and cultural institutions is the basis for the "reproduction of real life": income, employment, production , trade, infrastructure, social services. Destabilizing the economy of Planet Earth cannot constitute a "solution" to combating the virus. But that is the imposed "solution" which they want us to believe in. And that is what they are doing. "Economic Warfare" Destabilizing in one fell swoop the national economies of more 190 countries is an act of "economic warfare". This diabolical agenda undermines the sovereignty of nation states. It impoverishes people Worldwide. It leads to a spiralling dollar denominated global debt. The powerful structures of global capitalism, Big Money coupled with its intelligence and military apparatus are the driving force. Using advanced digital and communications technologies, the Lockdown and Economic Closure of the global economy is unprecedented in World history. This simultaneous intervention in 190 countries derogates democracy. It undermines the sovereignty of nation states Worldwide, without the need for military intervention. It Is an advanced system of economic warfare which overshadows other forms of warfare including conventional (Iraq-style) theater wars. Global Governance Scenarios. World Government in the Post-Covid Era? The March 11 2020 Lockdown project uses lies and deception to ultimately impose a Worldwide totalitarian regime, entitled "Global Governance" (by unelected officials). In the words of David Rockefeller: • .. .The world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries ." (quoted by AsRen Times. August 15, 2011, emphasis added) https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-second-wave-destroying-peoples-lives-global-coup-detaU5728207?print=1 2/8 ,11/15/202.0 The Covid "Pandemic": Destroying People's Lives. Engineered Economic Depression. Global "Coup d'Etat"? - Global ResearchGlobal R The Global Governance scenario imposes an agenda of social engineering and economic compliance. "It constitutes an extension of the neohberal policy framework imposed on both developing and developed countries. It consists m scrapping "national auto-determination" and constructing a Worldwide nexus of pro-US proxy regimes controlled by a "supranational sovereignty" (World Government) composed of leading financial institutions, billionaires and their philanthropic foundations."(See Michel Chossudovsky, Global Capi!aJ.ifilD., "World Government" and the Corona Crisis, May 1, 2020). Simulating Pandemics The Rockefeller Foundation proposes the use of scenario planning as a means to carry out "global governance". (For further details, see Michel Chossudovsky,~y-1, 2020). In the Rockefeller's 2010 Report entitled "Scenarios for the Future of TechnologY. and International Development Area" scenarios of Global Governance and the actions to be taken in the case of a Worldwide pandemic are contemplated. More specifically, the report envisaged .(P.-1.§) the simulation of a Lock Step scenario including a global virulent influenza strain. The 2010 Rockefeller report was published in the immediate wake of the 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic. Another important simulation was carried out on October 18, 2019, less than 3 months before SARS-2 was identified in early January 2020. Event 201 was held under the auspices of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum. (For details details see Michel Chossudovsky, March 1,.2Q2Q) • -• Intelligence and "The Art of Deception" •• The Covid crisis is a sophisticated instrument of the power elites. It has all the features of a carefully planned intelligence op. using "deception and counter-deception". Leo Strauss: "viewed • intelligence as a means for policymakers to attain and justify policy goals, not to describe the realities of the world." And that is precisely what they are doing in relation to Covid-19. Video: The Event 201 Pandemic Exercise. October 18, 2019. Focusses on the extent of the pandemic. Also addresses within the simulation how do deal with online social media and so-called "misinformation". (Listen carefully)

Macro-Economic Intervention. Evolution of the Global Economy History of Economic "Shock Treatment". From The Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) to "Global Adjustment (GA)" The March 11, 2020 (simultaneous) closing down of the national economies of 190 member states of the UN is diabolical and unprecedented. Millions of people have lost their jobs, and their lifelong savings. In developing countries, poverty, famine and despair prevail. While this model of "global intervention" is unprecedented, it has certain features reminiscent of the country-level macro-economic reforms including the imposition of strong ·economic medicine" by the IMF. To address this issue let us examine the history of so called "economic shock treatment". Flash back to Chile, September 111973. As a visiting professor at the Catholic University of Chile, I lived through the military coup directed against the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende. It was a CIA op led by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger coupled wrth devastating macro economic reforms. Image on the left: Kissinger together with General Augusto Pinochet ( 1970s) In the month following the Coup d'Etat, the price of bread increased from 11 to 40 escudos overnight. This engineered collapse of both real wages and employment under the Pinochet dictatorship was conducive to a nationwide process of impoverishment. While food prices had skyrocketed, wages had been frozen to ensure "economic stability and stave off inflationary pressures." From one day https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-second-wave-destroying-peoples-lives-global-coup-detat/S728207?print=1 3/8 11 /15/2020 The Covid "Pandemic": Destroying People's lives. Engineered Economic Depression. Global "Coup d'Etat"? - Global Researchqlobal R.-. to the next, an entire country had been precipitated into abysmal poverty: in less than a year the price of bread in Chile increased thirty-six times and eighty-five percent of the Chilean population had been driven below the poverty line." That was Chile's 1973 "Reset"

Two and a half years later in 1976, I returned to Latin America as a visiting professor at the National University of Cordoba in the northern industrial heartland of Argentina. My stay coincided with another military coup d'etat in March 1976. Behind the massacres and human rights violations, "free marker macro-economic reforms had also been prescribed - this time under the supervision of Argentina's New York creditors, including David Rockefeller who was a friend of The Junta's Minister of Economy Jose Alfredo Martinez de Hoz. Image on the right: General President Jorge Videla, David Rockefeller and Argentina's Economy Minister Martinez de Hoz, Buenos Aires (1970s) Chile and Argentina were "dress rehearsals" for things to come: The imposition of the IMF-World Bank Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) was imposed on more than 100 countries starting in the early 1980s. (See Michel Chossudovsky, The Globalization of Povecty and the New World Order, Global Research, 2003) A notorious example of the "free market": Peru in August 1990 was punished for not conforming to IMF diktats: the price of fuel was hiked up 31 times and the price of bread increased more than twelve times in a single day. These reforms - carried out in the name of "democracy" - were far more devastating than those applied in Chile and Argentina under the fist of military rule. And now on March 11, 2020, we enter a new phase of macro-economic destabilization, which is more devastating and destructive than 40 years of "shock treatment" and austerity measures imposed by the IMF on behalf of dominant financial interests. There is rupture, a historical break as well as continuity. It's "Neoliberalism to the n-th Degree" Image on the left: Kissinger with Argentina's Dictator General Jorge Videla (1970s) Closure of the Global Economy: Economic and Social Impacts at the Level of the Entire Planet Compare what is happening to the Global Economy today with the country by country "negotiated" macro-economic measures imposed by creditors under the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP). The March 11 , 2020 "Global Adjustment" was not negotiated with national governments. It was imposed by a "private/ public partnership", supported by media propaganda, and accepted, invariably by co-opted and corrupt politicians. "Engineered" Social Inequality and Impoverishment. The Globalization of Poverty Compare the March 11, 2020 "Global Adjustment" "guidelines" affecting the entire Planet to Chile September 11, 1973. In a bitter irony, the same Big Money interests behind the 2020 "Global Adjustment" were actively involved in Chile (1973) and Argentina (1976). Remember "Operation Condor" and the "Dirty War" (Guerra Sucia).

There is continuity: The same powerful financial interests: The IMF and the World Bank bureaucracies are currently involved in preparing and managing the" post-pandemic "New Normal" debt operations (on behalf of the creditors) under the Great Reset. Henry Kissinger was involved in coordinating Chile's 9/11 , 1973 "Reset''. The following year (1974), he was in charge of the drafting of the "National Strategic Security Memorandum 200 (NSSM 200) which identified deRQ1rnlation as "the highest priority in US foreign policy towards the Third World". Today, Henry Kissinger is a firm supporter alongside the Gates Foundation (which is also firmly committed to depopulation) of the Great Reset under the auspices of the World Economic Forum (WEF). No need to negotiate with national governments or carry out "regime change". The March 11 , 2020 project constitutes a "Global Adjustment" which triggers bankruptcies, unemployment and privatization on a much larger scale affecting in one fell swoop the national economies of more than 150 countries. And this whole process 1s presented to public opinion as a means to combating the "killer virus• which. according to the CDC and the WHO is similar to seasonal influenza. (Viruses A, B). The Hegemonic Power Structure of Global Capitalism Big Money including the billionaire foundations are the driving force. It's a complex alliance of Wall Street and the Banking establishment, Big Oil and Energy, the so-called "Defense Contractors", Big Pharma, the Biotech Conglomerates, the Corporate Media, the Telecom, Communications and Digital Technology Giants, together with a network of think tanks, lobby groups, research labs, etc. The ownership of intellectual property also plays a central role. This complex decision-making network involves major creditor and banking institutions: The Federal Reserve. the European Central Bank (ECB), the IMF, the World Bank, the regional development banks, and the Basel based Bank for International Settlements (BIS), which plays a key strategic role. In turn, the upper echelons of the US State apparatus (and Washington's Western Allies) are directly or indirectly involved, including the Pentagon, US Intelligence (and its research labs), the Health authorities, Homeland Security and the US State Department (including US embassies in over 150 countries). https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-second-wave-destroying-peoples-lives-global-coup-detaU5728207?print=1 4/8 A1/1 5/20~0 The Covid "Pandemic": Destroying People's Lives.

Ongoing Wealth Appropriation by The Super Rich "V the Virus" is said to be responsible for the wave of bankruptcies and unemployment. That's a lie.

In the course of the last nine months, they have cashed in on billions of dollars. Between April and July the total wealth held by billionaires around the world has grown from $8 trillion to more than $10 trillion, The Forbes reP-Q!1 does not explain the real cause of this massive redistribution of wealth: "collective billionaire wealth has grown at its fastest rate over any period over the past decade."

On March 18, 2020, U.S. billionaires had combined wealth of $2.947 trillion. By October 8th, their wealth had surged to $3.8 trillion. This upper billionaire class manipulates financial markets starting in February and then orders the closing down of the global economy on March 11 , the stated objective of which is to combat Covid-19, which, according to the WHO is similar to seasonal influenza. The "Real Economy" and "Big Money" Why are these Covid lockdown policies spearheading bankruptcy, poverty and unemployment? Global capitalism is not monolithic. There is indeed a "A Class Conflict" "between the super-rich and the vast majority of the World population. But there is also intense rivalry within the capitalist system. Namely a conflict between "Big Money Capital" and what might be described as "Real Capitalism" which consists of corporations in different areas of productive activity at the national and regional levels. It also includes small and medium sized enterprises. What is ongoing is a process of concentration of wealth (and control of advanced technologies) unprecedented in World history, whereby the financial establishment, (i.e. the multibillion dollar creditors) are slated to appropriate the real assets of both bankrupt companies as well as State assets. The "Real Economy" constitutes "the economic landscape" of real economic activity: productive assets, agriculture, industry, services, economic and social infrastructure, investment, employment, etc. The real economy at the global and national levels is being targeted by the lockdown and closure of economic activity. The Global Money financial institutions are the "creditors" of the real economy. "The Second Wave". Another Lockdown Second Wave is a Lie. It is presented to public opinion as a means to combating the virus and saving lives. That is what the governments are telling us. The fear campaign has gone into high gear, applied simultaneously in different regions of WHAT IS A I the world. SUPPORT BUBBLE?

The rationale of the Second Wave is to prevent and postpone the reopening of the national ~pofJWSl-fN~ economy, coupled with the enforcement of social distancing, the wearing of the face mask, etc. The target are the service economy, the airlines, the tourist industry, etc. Maintaining strict restrictions on air travel is tantamount to spearheading major airlines into bankruptcy. The bankruptcy program is engineered and imposed. Solely in the US tourism and travel industry, 9.2 million jobs could be lost and "between 10.8 million and 13.8 million jobs .. . are at serious risk". And the Second Wave is intent upon enabling the billionaires to pick up the pieces, acquiring ownership of entire sectors of economic activity at rockbottom prices. The money they appropriated in the course of the financial crisis (through outright manipulation) will be used to buy out bankrupt corporations as well as bankrupt governments.

Global Governance: Towards a Totalitarian State The individuals and organizations involved in the October 18, 2019 201 Simulation are now involved in the actual management of the crisis once it went live on January 30th , 2020 under the WHO's Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), which in tum set the stage for the February financial crisis. The lockdown and closure of national economies triggers a second spree of mass unemployment coupled with the engineered bankruptcy (applied Worldwide)of small and medium sized enterprises. All of which is spearheaded by the installation of a global totalitarian State which is intent upon breaking all forms of protest and resistance. The Vaccine The Covid vaccination program (including the embedded digital passport) is an integral part of a global totalitarian regime. What is the infamous 1D2020? It is an alliance of public-private partners, including UN agencies and civil society. It's an electronic ID program that uses generalized vaccination as a platform for digital identity. The program harnesses existing birth registration and vaccination operations to provide newborns with a portable and persistent biometrically-linked digital identity.red zones, face masks, social distancing, lockdown, (Peter Koenig March 12, 2020) "The Great Reset" The same powerful creditors which triggered the Covid Global Debt Crisis are now establishing a "New Normar which essentially consists in imposing what the World Economic Forum describes as the "Great Reset": Using COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions to push through this transformation, the Great Reset is being rolled out under the guise of a· 'Fourth Industrial Revolution' in which older enterprises are to be driven to bankruptcy or absorbed into monopolies, effectively shutting down huge sections of the pre-COVIO economy. Economies are being 'restructured' and many jobs will be carried out by Al-driven machines. The jobless (and there will be many) would be placed on some kind of universal basic income and have their debts (indebtedness and bankruptcy on a massive scale is the deliberate result of lockdowns and restrictions) written off in return for handing their assets to the state or more precisely to the financial institutions helping to drive this Great Reset. The WEF says the public will 'rent' everything they require: stripping the right of ownership under the guise of 'sustainable consumption' and 'saving the planet'. Of course, the tiny elite who rolled out this great reset will own everything. (Colin Todhunter, Qy.filQQian Great Reset. November 9, 2020) By 2030, the global creditors will have appropriated the World's wealth under the "Global Adjustment" scenario, while impoverishing large sectors of the World Population.

The United Nations: An Instrument of Global Governance on Behalf of an Unelected Private/Public Partnership The UN system is also complicit. It has endorsed "global governance" and The Great Reset. While UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres rightfully acknowledges that the pandemic is "more than a health crisis", no meaningful analysis or debate under UN auspices as to the real causes of this crisis has been undertaken. https.//www.globalresearch.ca/the-second-wave-destroying-peoples-lives-global-coup-detaU5728207?print=1 6/8 , 11/15/20?0 The Covid "Pandemic": Destroying People's Lives. Engineered Economic Depression . Global "Coup d'Etat"? - Global ResearchGlobal R According to a September 2020 UN Report: "Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost. The lives of billions of people have been disrupted. In addition to the health impacts, COVID-19 has exposed and exacerbated deep inequalities . . . It has affected us as individuals, as families, communities and societies. It has had an impact on every generation, including on those not yet born. The crisis has highlighted fragilities within and among nations, as well as in our systems for mounting a coordinated global response to shared threats. (UN ReRQct) The decisions which triggered social and economic destruction Worldwide are not mentioned. No debate in the UN Security Council. Consensus among all Five Permanent Members of the UNSC. V the Virus is held responsible. The WEF "Reimagine and Reset our World" in a private-public partnership has been endorsed b Flash back to George Kennan and the Truman Doctrine in the late 1940s. Kennan believed that the UN provided a useful way to "connect power with morality," using morality, as a means to rubber-stamp America's "humanitarian wars". The Covid crisis is the culmination of a historical process. The lockdown and closure of the global economy are "weapons of mass destruction". What we are dealing with are extensive "crimes against humanity". Joe Biden and the "Great Reset" "Elected President" Joe Biden is a groomed politician, a trusted proxy, serving the interests of the financial establishment. Let's not forget that Joe Biden was a firm supporter of the Invasion of Iraq on the grounds that Saddam Hussein "had weapons of mass destruction". "The American People were deceived into this war", said Senator Dick Durbin. Do not let yourself be deceived again by Joe Biden. Evolving acronyms. 9/11, GWOT, WMD and now COVID: Biden was rewarded for having supported the invasion of Iraq. Fox News describes him as a "socialist" who threatens capitalism: "Joe Biden's disturbing connection to the socialist 'Great Reset' movement". While this is absolute nonsense, many "progressives" and anti-war activists have endorsed Joe Biden without analyzing the broader consequences of a Biden presidency. The Great Reset is socially divisive, it's racist. It is a diabolical project of Global Capitalism. It constitutes a threat to the large majority of Americans workers as well as to small and medium sized enterprises. A Biden-Harris administration actively involved in carrying out the "Great Reset" is a threat to humanity. With regard to Covid, Biden is firmly committed to the "Second Wave", i.e. maintaining the partial closing down of both the US economy and the global economy as a means to "combating the killer virus". Joe Biden will push for the adoption of the WEF's "Great Reset" both nationally and internationally, with devastating economic and social consequences. The 2021 World Economic Forum (WEF) scheduled for Summer 2021 will focus on the implementation of the "Great Reset". A Joe Biden administration would actively pursue Big Money's totalitarian blueprint: The Great Reset. Unless there is significant protest and organized resistance, nationally and internationally, the Great Reset will be embedded in both domestic and US foreign policy agendas of the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration. It's what you call Imperialism with a "Human Face".

This economic shock treatment had been designed by a group of economists called the "Chicago Boys•. 7 At the time of the military coup, I was teaching at the Institute of Economics of the Catholic University of Chile, which was a nest of Chicago trained economists, disciples of Milton Friedman. On that September 11, in lhe hours following the bombing or lhe Presidential Palace or La Moneda, lhe new mililary rulers imposed a 72-hour curfew. When the university reopened several days later, the "Chicago Boys" were rejoicing. Barely a week later, several of my colleagues at the Institute of Economics were appointed to key positions in the military government. While food prices had skyrocketed , wages had been frozen to ensure ·economic stability and stave off inflationary pressures." From one day to the next, an entire country was precipitated into abysmal poverty: in less than a year the price of bread in Chile increased thirty-six times and eighty-five percent of the. Chilean population had been driven below the poverty line. These events affected me profoundly in my work as an economist. Through the tampering of prices, wages and interest rates, people's lives had been destroyed; an enti re national economy had been destabilized. I started to understand that macro-economic reform was neither "neutral" - as claimed by the academic ,__ ~ mainstream - nor separate from the broader process of social and political transformation. In my earlier writings on the Chilean military Junta, I looked upon the so-called "free marker as a wellorganized instrument of "economic repression". Read com12lete text of Preface

~~Unprecedented Move: he CDC Stops Tracking Influenza for 2020-21 Flu Season~~

~~By Brian Shilbaw Global Research, November 04, 2020 Health lrnP.act News Uri of this artide:~~

I have been covering the fraud that happens eve,y year with how the CDC tracks incidents and deaths due to the annual influenza for almost a decade now. The numbers used each year to scare the public into getting the flu vaccine are based not on actual data, but estimates of number of people who die from the flu according to the CDC. Basically, anyone dying from "influenza-like" symptoms are all lumped together into supposed flu deaths each year. Autopsies are seldom performed to prove cause of death. The CDC has admitted publicly in the past that these numbers are just "estimates " If the real number of those infected with the influenza virus, and resulting deaths, were vastly lower than what the CDC reports based on their "estimates," the public would have no way of knowing it.

~~Ooes CDC know the exact numt>H- of people who die from season1l flu each year?~~

So this has presented quite a dilemma for the CDC for the first couple of weeks of the 2020-21 flu season, which have just passed. Because "flu-like" Slmptoms could aiso be attributed to COVID-19, and they have the now widely known ineffective COVID PCR test to back up these claims, which also kicks in federal funding for hospitals to treat COVID patients. As one might expect, with the media widely reporting that cases of COVID are now increasing just as flu season starts, reports of flu cases have dropped dramatically during the same time period last year. Across the globe, it has been reported that incidents of influenza have dropped by about 100%. (Source.)

Whoops! How did the CDC allow these numbers to be published? In an apparent response to media reports about the fast declining flu cases here at the beginning of the 2020-21 flu season, the CDC did what any corrupt agency would do which doesn't want the public to know the truth: They decided to ·suspend data collection for the 2020-21 influenza season."(~.) To my knowledge, this is unprecedented, and has never happened before. There is a screen shot here in case they take this down due to public awareness (thanks to Patrick Wood).

Correlation Between Flu Shot and Senior Deaths Allegedly due to COVID https://www.globalresearch.ca/cdc-stops-tracking-influenza-2020-21-flu-season/5728559?print=1 1/2 11/12/2020 Unprecedented Move: The CDC Stops Tracking Influenza for 2020-21 Flu Season - Global ResearchGlobal Research It is important to remember that most of the deaths in the U.S. attributed to COVID have occurred among those over 70 years old, with co-morbidity factors. Another factor to consider is that seniors over 65 in the U.S. get a different flu shot than everyone else each year, one that is much .fil[QJ]Qfil. Most of the initial deaths attributed to COVID in early 2020 occurred in nursing homes or assisted care facilities for the elderly, where the flu vaccine is routinely given every year as a matter of policy. Deaths in these facilities are common every year just after administering the flu vaccine, but never reported in the corporate media. Health Impact News had a nurse whistleblower contact us in 2014 to report that 5 seniors in a Georgia assisted care facility died the same week the flu shot was given. We were threatened with a lawsuit for reporting this. See: 5 Seniors Die after Flu Shot at Assisted Care Center in Georgi.a. A recently published study out of Mexico confirmed the correlation between senior flu shots and COVID deaths.

A · :fill'I'; ;Jub""'' -i .t1.J:l, in PeerJ by Christian Wehenkel, a Professor at Universidad Juarez del Estado de Durango in Mexico, has found a positive association between COVID-19 deaths and influenza vaccination rates m elderly people worldwide. According to the study, "The results showed a positive association between COVID-19 deaths and IVR (influenza vaccination rate) of people ~65 years-old There is a significant increase in COVID-19 deaths from eastern to western regions in the world. Further exploration is needed to explain these findings, and additional work on this line of research may lead to prevention of deaths associated with COVID-19." To determine this association, data sets from 39 countries with more than half a million people were analyzed. (Read the full article.) Verified Death Statistics Will Tell the True Story Once 2020 1s complete, ;twill probably be seen that total deaths that have been recorded will be similar to previous years. The difference will be the number of deaths attributed to COVID to justify all the government fear and tyrannical actions, as deaths by other causes will drop so that the end result will be about the same. These kinds of stats are becoming more and more difficult to find, but here is one projected total compared with total deaths from the previous 3 years.

~~Please note this article has been updated with more recent data from the CDC - CLICK HERE.~~

Dr. Jonathan Temte. associate dean for pub!ic hea!th and community erigagement at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health in addressingJlliulrg!JffifillJ that numbers showing the prevalence of COVID-19 are overstated, Temte said that's wrong.

~~Really? Let's fact check this - be patient, read carefully, and take the time to walk through the data slowly.~~

ccording to Temte. an actual death count doesn't exist. in part because of statutes such as Wisconsin's that only require providers to report pediatric deaths from influenza. It's voluntary to report flu deaths from adults. Additionally, Wisconsin does not require influenza testing to be reported. "lnfluenza ascertainment has always been nebulous," he said. 'In the best circumstances, we can assess what happens within a clinical population " Temte has been part of a clinic-based surveillance program run out of five family medicine clinics in Dane County over the past 11 years.

Temte pointed to a graphi!;; from the CDC that comes out weekly and reports the percentage of deaths in the U.S. due to pneumonia, influenza, and now COVI0-19. During the 2009-10 influenza season, 8.1% of people who died had either influenza or pneumonia. Another bad influenza year in 2017-18 saw this pneumonia- and flu-related deaths peak at 10%. But the week ending April 11 this year hit a record 23.5% of deaths by COVID-19, influenza or pneumonia compared to the total number of deaths.

Temte said each week. the CDC reports the percentage of deaths in the U.S. due to pneumonia, influenza, and now COVID-19. During the 2009-10 influenza season, 8.1 % of people who died had either influenza or pneumonia. During 2017- 18 those pneumonia- and flu-related deaths peaked at 10%.

First off, Temte assertion of the 23.5% is wrong, it should be 18.84 %. Ok. perhaps we are being a stickler for delai!s but accuracy is important. The point is that this number is a cherry-picked weekly number. When looking at the '·to date" percentages it rs 3.87%,. Weii within the norms of pnor years. I have pre-downloaded and sorted the spreadsheet (see tab 2020-\iVorkSheet) here - but please feel free to do this exercise yourself Note that the data could have rhanged since Temte made his assertions. For the year 2020 according to Temte citation (CDC data) the "All Deaths" rate through May 2, 2020, was 787,181.

Taking the data frorn the CDC Weekly Counts of Deaths by State and Select Causes. 20"!4-2018, then selecting for "A!l Deaths" for the year 2018 through May 05, 2018, you come up with 1,066,832 deaths.

~~By Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Chairman, Children's Health Defense~~

On March 12th , 2020, Anderson Cooper and Dr. Sanjay Gupta held a global town hall on "Corona Facts and Fears." During the discussion, Anderson said to the viewing audience, "And, again, if you are concerned about coronavirus, and you haven·t gotten a flu shot.. .you should get a flu shot."

~~Setting safety and efficacy of influenza vaccination aside, is Anderson's claim that the flu shot will help people fight COVID-19 remotely true? The short answer is no.~~

~~In fact, the results of many peer-reviewed, published studies prove that Anderson's recommendation may have been the worst advice he could have given the public.~~

In searching the literature, the only study we have been able to find assessing flu shots and -;oronavirus is a 2020 US Pentagon study that found that the flu shot INCREASES the risks from coronavirus by 36%. "Receiving influenza vaccination may increase the risk of other respiratory viruses, a phenomenon known as "virus interference ... 'vaccine derived' virus interference was significantly associated with coronavirus ... " Here are the findings:

In other words, the vaccinated were 36% more likely to get coronavirus.

~~Abstract In Brief~~

Background: The Western Australian Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness study commenced in 2008 to evaluate a ne v program to provide free influenza vaccine to all ch ildren aged 6 to 59 months. We aimed to assess the protective effect of inactivated influenza vaccination in these children.

~~Methods: We conducted a prospective case control study in general practices and a hospital emergency department, testing all eligible patients for influenza and~~

2012 Hong Kong Study: Flu shots increased the risk of non-flu respiratory infections 4.4 times and tripled flu infections. A. randomized placebo-controlled trial in Hong Kong children found that flu shots increased the risk of non-influenza viral ARls fivefold (OR 4.91,CI 1.04-8.14) and, including influenza, tripled the overall viral ARI risk (OR 3.17, Cl 1.04- 9.83).

Introduction Even more published science The well-respected Cochrane Collaboration's comprehensive 2010 meta-analysis of published influenza vaccine studies found that the influenza vaccination has "no effect" on hospitalization, and that there is "no evidence that vaccines prevent viral transmission or complications. " The Cochrane Researchers concluded that the scientific evidence "seem[s] to discourage the utilization of vaccination against influenza in healthy adults as a routine public health measure."

In their meta-analysis, the Cochrane researchers accused the CDC of deliberately misrepresenting the science in order to support their universal influenza vaccination recommendation. Nevertheless, CNN and other mainstream media outlets continually broadcast CDC pronouncements as gospel and, ·ronically, ridicules those of us who actually read the science as "purveyors of 'vaccine misinformation".

~~Positive Association Found Amongst COVID Deaths & }1~1u Shot Rates~~

~~T In Elderly By Arjun Walia Collective Evolution October 29, 2020~~

~~Click here to listen~~

What Happened: A in Peer] by Christian Wehenkel, a Professor at Universidad Juarez del Estado de Durango in Mexico, has found a positive association between COVID- 19 deaths and influenza vaccination rates in elderly people worldwide.

According to the study, "The results showed a positive association between COVID-19 deaths and IVR (influenza vaccination rate) of people ~65 years-old. There is a significant increase in COVID-19 deaths from eastern to western regions in the world. Further exploration is needed to explain these findings, and additional work on this line of research may lead to prevention of deaths associated with COVID-19."

~~To determine this association, data sets from 39 countries with more than half a million people were analyzed.~~

The study was published on October 1st, and two weeks later a note from the publisher appeared atop the paper emphasizing that correlation does not equal causation, and that this paper "should not be taken to suggest that receiving the influenza vaccination results in an increased risk of death for an individual with COVID-19 as there may be confounding factors at play."

~~The paper provides evidence from others which have recently been published that ponder if the flu shot could increase ones chance of contracting and dying from COVID-19.~~

For example, this study published in April of 2020, reported a negative correlation between influenza vaccination rates (IVRs) and COVID-19 related mortality and https:l/www.lewrockwell.com/2020/10/no_author/positive-association-found-amongst-covid-deaths-flu-shot-rates-worldwide-in-elderty/ 1/4 11/14/2020 Positive Association Found Amongst Covid Deaths & Flu Shot Rates Worldwide in the Elderly - LewRockwell .. . ( morbidity. Marfn-Hernandez, Schwartz & Nixon (2020). also showed epidemiological evidence of an association between higher influenza vaccine uptake by elderly people and lower percentage of COVID-19 deat hs in Italy, which directly contradicts the author's own findings and suggests that the flu shot may help prevent COVID-19 related deaths.

~~He goes on to mention another study:~~

In a study analyzing 92,664 clinically and molecularly confirmed COVID-19 cases in Brazil, Fink et al. (2020). reported that patients who received a recent flu vaccine experienced on average 17% lower odds of death. Moreover, Pawlowski et al. (2020}_ analyzed the immunization records of 137,037 individuals who tested positive in a SARS-CoV-2 PCR. They found that polio, Hemophilus influenzae type-B, measles-mumps-rubella, varicella, pneumococcal conjugate (PCV13}, geriatric flu, and hepatitis A/hepatitis B (HepA-HepB) vaccines, which had been administered in the past 1, 2, and 5 years, were associated with decreased SARS-CoV-2 infection rates.

~~So, its important to mention that correlations between the flu vaccine have also found that it may decrease ones chance of deat hs from COVID-19.~~

~~But are there studies that have shown an increased chance of death or contracting other respiratory viruses as a result of getting the flu shot? Yes.~~

~~That's also discussed in the paper. For example, he mentions a paper published in 2018:~~

In a study with 6, 120 subjects, Wolff (2020). reported that influenza vaccination was significantly associated with a higher risk of some other respiratory diseases, due to virus interference. In a specific examination of non-influenza viruses, the odds of coronavirus infection (but not the COVID-19 virus) in vaccinated individuals were significantly higher, when compared to unvaccinated individuals (odds ratio= 1.36).

The study above found the fl u shot to increase t he risk of other coronaviruses among those who had been vaccinated for influenza by 36 percent. The study was conducted prior to COVID- 19, so it's not included and only applies to pre-existing coronaviruses. The study also found an even higher chance of contracting human metapneumovirus amongst those who had received the flu shot.

~~Below are some more studies regarding the flu shot and viral infections that hint to the same idea.~~

~~• A 2018 CDC stud}(. (Rikin et al 2018) found that flu shots increase the risk of non-flu acute respiratory Illnesses (ARis), including coronav,rus, ,n children.~~

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2020/10/no_author/positive-associalion-found-amongst-covid-deaths-flu-shot-rates-worldwide-in-elderly/ 214 11/14/2020 Positive Association Found Amongst Covid Deaths & Flu Shot Rates Worldwide in the Elderly - LewRockwell ,,l ..I ~

~~• A 2011 Australian studv.. (Kelly et al 2011) found that flu shots doubled the risk for non-flu viral lung infections.~~

~~• A 2012 Hong Kong studv.. (Cowling et al 2012) found that flu shots increase the risk for non-flu respiratory infections by 4.4 times.~~

~~• A 2017 studv.. (Mawson et al 2017) found vaccinated children were 5. 9 times more likely to suffer pneumonia than their unvaccinated peers.~~

Why This Is Important: We live in an age where vaccinations are heavily marketed. We've seen this with the flu shot time and time again and we are also living in an age where a push for more mandated vaccines seems to be growing.

Dr. Peter Doshi is an associate editor at The BMJ (British Medical Journal) and also an assistant professor of pharmaceutical health services research at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. He P-Ublished a P-aP-er in The BMJ titled "Influenza: Marketing Vaccines By Marketing Disease." In it, he points out that the CDC pledges "to base all public health decisions on the highest quality of scientific data, openly and objectively derived," and how this isn't the case when it comes to the flu vaccine and its marketing. He stresses that "the vaccine may be less beneficial and less safe than has been claimed, and that " the threat of influenza seems to be overstated."

This is a touchy subject that dives into medical ethics and t he connections that big pharmaceutical companies have with our federal health regulatory agencies and health associations. Vaccines are a multi billion dollar industry.

At a recent World Health Organization conference on vaccine safety, it was expressed that vaccine hesitancy is growing at quite a fast pace, especially among doctors who are now becoming hesitant to recommend certain vaccines on the schedule. You can read more about that and find links to the conference here.

We have to ask ourselves, why is this happening? Is it because people and professionals are becoming aware of certain information that warrants the freedom of choice? Should freedom of choice with regards to what we put in our body always remain? Are we really protecting the "herd" by taking these actions?

In a 2014 analv.sis in the Oregon Law Review by New York University (NYU) legal scholars Mary Holland and Chase E. Zachary (who also has a Princeton-conferred octorate in chemistry), the authors show that 60 years of compulsory vaccine policies "have not attained herd immunity for any childhood disease." It is time, they suggest, to cast aside coercion in favor of voluntary choice.

The University of California is currently being sued for mandating the flu shot for all staff, faculty and students. A judge has prevented them from doing so as a result until a decision has been made. You can read more about that here.

~~In South Korea, 48 people have now died after receiving the flu shot this season causing a lot of controversy. You can read more about that here.~~

The Takeaway: There are many concerns with vaccines, and vaccine injury is one of them. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act has Raid more than $4 billion to families of vaccine injured children. A 2010 HHS Rilot studY- by the Federal Agency for Health Care Research (AHCR) found that 1 in every 39 vaccines causes injury, a shocking comparison to the claims from the CDC of 1 in every million.

Should these statistics alone warrant the freedom of choice? Should the government have the ability to force us into measures, or would it simply be better for them to present the science, make recommendations and urge people to follow them? When the citizenry is forced and coerced into certain actions, sometimes under the guise of good will, there always seems to be a tremendous amount of uproar and people who disagree. Why are these people silenced? Why are they censored? Why are they ridiculed? Why don't independent health organizations receive the same voice and reach that government and state "owned" or organizations do? What's going on here? Do we really live in a free, open and transparent world or are we simply subjected to massive amounts of perception manipulation?

When it come to the flu shot there is plenty of information on both sides of the coin that point to its effectiveness, and on the other hand there is information that points to the complete opposite. When something is not 100 percent clear, freedom of choice in all places should always remain, in my opinion.

~~Abstract~~

Emerging viruses such as HIV, dengue, influenza A, SARS coronavirus, Ebola, and other viruses pose a significant threat to human health. Majority of these viruses are responsible for the outbreaks of pathogenic lethal infections. To date, there are no effective therapeutic strategies available for the prophylaxis and treatment of these infections. Chloroquine analogs have been used for decades as the primary and most successful drugs against malaria. Concomitant with the emergence of chloroquine resistant Plasmodium strains and a subsequent decrease in the use as antimalarial drugs, other applications of the analogs have been investigated. Since the analogs have interesting biochemical properties, these drugs are found to be effective against a wide variety of viral infections. As antiviral action, the analogs have been shown to inhibit acidification of endosome during the events of replication and infection. Moreover, immunomodulatory effects of analogs have been beneficial to patients with severe inflammatory complications of several viral diseases. Interestingly, one of the successful targeting strategies is the inhibition of HIV replication by the analogs in vitro which are being tested in several clinical trials. This review focuses on the potentialities of chloroquine analogs ~or the treatment of endosomal low pH dependent emerging viral diseases.

~~Abstract~~

In the early literature, vitamin C deficiency was associated with pneumonia. After its identification, a number of studies investigated the effects of vitamin Con diverse infections. A total of 148 animal studies indicated that vitamin C may alleviate or prevent infections caused by bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. The most extensively studied human infection is the common cold. Vitamin C administration does not decrease the average incidence of colds in the general population, yet it halved the number of colds in physically active people. Regularly administered vitamin C has shortened the duration of -:olds, indicating a biological effect. However, the role of vitamin C in common cold treatment is unclear. Two controlled trials found a statistically significant dose-response, for the duration of common cold symptoms, with up to 6-8 g/day of vitamin C. Thus, the negative findings of some therapeutic common cold studies might be explained by the low doses of 3-4 g/day of vitamin C. Three controlled trials found that vitamin C prevented pneumonia. Two controlled trials found a treatment benefit of vitamin C for pneumonia patients. One controlled trial reported treatment benefits for tetanus patients. The effects of vitamin C against infections should be investigated further.

~~Abstract~~

Vitamin D, in addition to its classical functions in bone homeostasis, has a modulatory and regulatory ole in multiple processes, including host defense, inflammation, immunity, and epithelial repair. Patients with respiratory disease are frequently deficient in vitamin D, implying that supplementation might provide significant benefit to these patients. Respiratory viral infections are common and are the main trigger of acute exacerbations and hospitalization in children and adults with asthma and other airways diseases. Respiratory monocytes/macrophages and epithelial cells constitutively express the vitamin D receptor. Vitamin D, acting through this receptor, may be important in protection against respiratory infections. Whether the in vitro findings can be translated into a substantial in vivo benefit still remains uncertain. Here we review the in vitro data on the role of vitamin D in antiviral innate immunity, the data concerning the deficient levels of vitamin D in lung diseases, and the in vivo role of supplementation as protection against respiratory viral infections in healthy individuals and in patients with chronic respiratory diseases. Finally, we suggest ways of improving the effectiveness of vitamin D as an adjuvant in the prevention and treatment of acute respiratory infections.

~~Abstract~~

Zinc is an essential trace element that is crucial for growth, development, and the maintenance of immune function. Its influence reaches all organs and cell types, representing an integral component of approximately 10% of the human proteome, and encompassing hundreds of key enzymes and transcription factors. Zinc deficiency is strikingly common, affecting up to a quarter of the population n developing countries, but also affecting distinct populations in the developed world as a result of lifestyle, age, and disease-mediated factors. Consequently, zinc status is a critical factor that can influence antiviral immunity, particularly as zinc-deficient populations are often most at risk of acquiring viral infections such as HIV or hepatitis C virus. This review summarizes current basic science and clinical evidence examining zinc as a direct antiviral, as well as a stimulant of antiviral immunity. An abundance of evidence has accumulated over the past 50 y to demonstrate the antiviral activity of zinc against a variety of viruses, and via numerous mechanisms. The therapeutic use of zinc for viral infections such as herpes simplex virus and the common cold has stemmed from these findings; however, there remains much to be learned regarding the antiviral mechanisms and clinical benefit of zinc supplementat ion as a preventative and therapeutic treat ment for viral infections.

~~Abstract~~

Increasing the intracellular Zn(2 +) concentration with zinc-ionophores like pyrithione (PT) can efficiently impa ir the replication of a variety of RNA viruses, including poliovirus and influenza virus. For some viruses this effect has been attributed to interference with viral polyprotein processing. In this study we demonstrate that the combination of Zn(2 +) and PT at low concentrations (2 µM Zn(2 +) and 2 µM PD inhibits the replication of SARS-coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and equine arteritis virus (EAV) in cell culture. The RNA synthesis of these two distantly rel ated nidoviruses is catalyzed by an RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), which is the core enzyme of their multiprotein replication and transcription complex (RTC). Using an activity assay for RTCs isolated from cells infected with SARS CoV or EAV--thus eliminating the need for PT to transport Zn(2 +) across the plasma membrane--we show that Zn(2 +) efficiently inhibits the RNA-synthesizin g activity of the RTCs of both viruses. Enzymatic studies using recombinant Rd Rps (SARS-CoV nsp12 and EAV nsp9) purified from E.coli subsequently reveal ed that Zn(2 +) directly inhibited the in vitro activity of both nidovirus polymera ses. More specifically, Zn(2 +) was found to block the initiation step of EAV RNA synthesis, whereas in the case of the SARS-CoV RdRp elongation was inhibited and template binding reduced. By chelating Zn(2+) with MgEDTA, the inhibitory effect of the divalent cation could be reversed, which provides a

Background: Medical masks are commonly used in health care settings to protect healthcare workers (HCWs) from respiratory and other infections. Airborne respiratory pathogens may settle on the surface of used masks layers, resulting in contamination. The main aim of this study was to study the presence of viruses on the surface of medical masks.

Methods: Two pilot studies in laboratory and clinical settings were carried out to determine the areas of masks likely to contain maximum viral particles. A laboratory study using a mannequin and fluorescent spray showed maximum particles concentrated on upper right, middle and left sections of the medical masks. These findings were confirmed through a small clinical study. The main study was then conducted in high-risk wards of three selected hospitals in Beijing China. Participants (n = 148) were asked to wear medical masks for a shift (6-8 h) or as long as they could tolerate. Used samples of medical masks were tested for presence of respiratory viruses in upper sections of the medical masks, in line with the pilot studies.

Results: Overall virus positivity rate was 10.1 % (15/148). Commonly isolated viruses from masks samples were adenovirus (n = 7), bocavirus (n = 2), respiratory syncytial virus (n = 2) and influenza virus (n = 2). Virus positivity was significantly higher in masks samples worn for > 6 h (14.1 %, 14/99 versus 1.2%, 1/49, OR 7.9, 95% Cl 1.01-61.99) and in samples used by participants who examined> 25 patients per day (16.9%, 12/71 versus 3.9%, 3/77, OR 5.02, 95% Cl 1.35-1 8.60). Most of the participants hltps://pubmed ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31159777/ 1/2 11/14/2020 Contamination by respiratory viruses on outer surface of medical masks used by hospital healthcare workers - PubMed (83.8%, 124/148) reported at least one problem associated with mask use. Commonly reported problems were pressure on face (16.9%, 25/ 148), breathing difficulty (12.2%, 18/148), discomfort (9.5% 14/148), trouble communicating with the patient (7.4%, 11/148) and headache (6.1%, 9/148).

Conclusion: Respiratory pathogens on the outer su rface of the used medical masks may result in self contamination. The risk is higher with longer duration of mask use(> 6 h) and with higher rates of cl inical contact. Protocols on duration of mask use should specify a maximum time of continuous use, and should consider guidance in high contact settings. Viruses were isolated from the upper sections of around 10% sa mples, but other sections of masks may also be contaminated. HCWs should be aware of these risks in order to protect themselves and people around them.

On June 3, 2020, as a consequence of the "global health crisis", the World Economic Forum WEF in Geneva announced a •unique twin summif' for January 2021 in Davos, Switzerland.(1) The theme should be "The Great Reser•. The WEF defines the "Great Reset" as "a commitment to jointly and urgently create the foundations of our economic and social system for a fairer, more sustainable and resilient future ". World leaders from government, business and civil society will be invited. In a dialogue conducted by the younger generation, they are to be virtually linked with "stakeholders" worldwide. These are individuals and interest groups with a network in 400 cities around the world who have a legitimate interest in the course and outcome of the summit. All announcements sound "promising and promise a bright future ". The WEF press release continues: "The announcement of the 'Great New Start' was made by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales and Professor Schwab during a virtual meeting, followed by statements by UN Secretary General Antonio Guteffes and IMF Executive Director Kristalina Georg1eva." In addition to the great promises, there are also euphonious names. Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva already wrote a statement to the World Economic Forum on the day of the summit announcement. "My thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and to Professor Schwab for bringing us together. " She goes on to write. "From the perspective of the IMF, we have seen a massive injection of fiscal stimulus to help countries deal with this crisis, and to shift gears for growth to return It is of paramount importance that this growth should lead to a greener, smarter, fairer world in the future. "(2) Even the founder and chairman of the World Economic Forum himself felt called upon to make his own statement on the very day of the announcement. Under the headline "Now is the time for a 'big reset'" and the subtitle "In every crisis there is a chance• Klaus Schwab writes: "We can bring a better world out of this crisis, ( ...). To achieve a better outcome (than the 1930s Depression, R.H.), the world must act collectively and quickly to renew all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions. Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to technology, must be transformed. In short, we need a ,great reset' of capitalism." (3) The creator of the words and ideas for the "Great Reset" is probably the bestselling author and economic development expert Richard Florida with his book "The Great Reset. How New Ways of Living and Working Drive Post-Crash Prosperity". If one delves into the WEFs press release and the statements published on it - which is urgently recommended to everyone interested - then some urgent questions arise for the critical contemporary. For example, the question into which state our economic and social system should be "reset" and restarted after the unprecedented economic and social total crash. Then there is the question of what can be expected from a "return agenda" that will be formulated and implemented by the same global government and economic leaders who deliberately caused the current crash. But the cardinal question is: will the announced "Great New Start" be a blessing for humanity or rather a curse? The answer to this question should be found out by proven experts - even before the participants of the twin summit in January 2021 get down to work and draft an agenda whose implementation will not be good for humanity. We should be able to prepare ourselves to prevent the worst. If we think of the current crime against humanity, which has been unleashed worldwide by the "Big Money", the globalists, foundations. Big Pharma and the WHO on the occasion of the "global corona false alarm", together with the hypocritical promises of salvation of the kabbalistic World Economic Forum and the predatory International Monetary Fund, then we cannot assume a de globalization and a turning away from inhuman neoliberalism. The rul ing "elite" will use the meeting in Davos to further advance the global control of us citizens by destroying nation states. And this will be a great danger for humanity, which we can only fend off together.

First posted on GR on April 13, 2020 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 enter~ 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 wograms to children before the age of five. Indian doctors blame the Gates campaign for a devastating non-polio acute flaccid paraly..si.s__(NPAFP) ~pidemjc that R.8.[alyzed 490,QQQ 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. The most frightening [polio] epidemics in Congo, Afghanistan, and the Philippines, are all linked to vaccines.

In 2017, the Wortd 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 n,QQQ...y..o.u..og_gi.ds 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 girts into the trial, bullying parents, forging consent forms, and refusing medical care to the injured girts. The case is now in the country's Supreme Court. South African newspapers complained, 'We are guinea pigs for the drug makers.'

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 mcludmg 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. 8pproximatelY. 50 of the 500 children vaccinated developed paralY.sis. South African newspapers complained, "We are guinea pjgs for the drug makers." Nelson Mandela's former Senior Economist, Professor Patrick Bond, describes Gates' philanthropic practices as "ruthless and immoral." 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 campgjgo.. 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. A 2017 studY. (Morgensen et. al. 2017) showed that WHO's popular DTP vaccine is killing more African children than the diseases ii prevents. DTP-vaccinated girts suffered 1Ox the death rate of children who had not yet received the vaccine. WHO has refused to recall the lethal vaccine which it forces upon tens of millions of African children annually. [Global public health officials] say he has diverted agency resources to serve his personal philosophy that good health only comes in a syringe.

Global public health advocates around the world 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 budg!tl on these areas. They say he has diverted agency resources to serve his personal philosophy that good health only comes in a syringe. In addition to using his philanthropy to control WHO, UNICEF, GAV!, and PATH, Gates funds g_private Rharmaceutical companY. that manufactures vaccines, and additionally is donating $50 million to .12...pharmaceutjcal comP-anie.s to speed up development of a coronavirus vaccine.

Bill Gates is actively financing and promoting new untested vaccines supposed to keep us at least somewhat safe from a 'ghastly" death from the novel coronavirus and supposedly allow us to resume somewhat "normal" lives. The Pharma giant Pfizer has now announced what they claim were spectacular results in initial human tests. They use an experimental technology known as gene editing, specifically mRNA gene-editing, something never before used in vaccines. Before we rush to get jabbed in hopes of some immunity, we should know more about the radical experimental technology and its lack of precision. The financial world went ballistic on November 9 when the pharma giant Pfizer and its German partner, BioNTech, announced in a company press release that it had developed a vaccine for Covid19 that was "90%" effective. The controversial US head of NIAID, Tony Fauci (right) rushed to greet the news and the EU announced it had purchased 300 million doses of the costly new vaccine. If you believe financial markets, the pandemic is all but past history. Suspicious events However it seems Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, doesn't share the confidence of his own claims. On the day his company issued its press release on the proposed vaccine trials, he sold 62% of his stock in Pfizer, making millions profit in the deal. He made the sell order in a special option in August so it would not appear as "insider selling", however he also timed it just after the US elections and the mainstream media illegitimately declared Joe Biden President-elect. It seems from appearances that Bourla had a pretty clear conflict of interest in the timing of his press release on the same daY.. Bourla lied and denied to the Press that his company had received any funds from the Trump Administration to develop the vaccine when it came out they contracted in summer to deliver 100 million doses to the US Government. Further adding to the suspect actions of Pfizer was the fact the company first informed the team of Joe biden rather than the relevant US government agencies. But this is far from the only thing alarming about the much-hyped Pfizer announcement. The German Partner Pfizer. famous for its Viagra and other drugs, has partnered with a small Mainz, Germany company, BioNTech, which has developed the radical mRNA technique used to produce the new corona vaccine. BioNTech was only founded m 2008. BioNTech signed an agreement with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in September, 2019, just before announcement in Wuhan China of the Novel Coronavirus and just before BioNTech made its stock market debut. The agreement involved cooperation on developing new mRNA techniques to treat cancer and HIV. Curiously that press release, "The Gates Foundation sees BioNTech potential to 'dramatically reduce global HIV and tuberculosis'" 05. September 2019, has now been deleted. BioNTech also has an agreement with one of the largest drug producers in China, Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd ("Fosun Pharma") to develop a version of its mRNA vaccine for novel coronavirus for the Chinese market. Ai-Min Hui, President of Global R&D of Fosun Pharma said in an August statement, "Dosing the first Chinese subject with BNT162b1 marks a milestone of the global co-development program in China. We are closely working with BioNTech and regulatory authorities to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BNT162b1 and other mRNA vaccine candidates ... • This means that the same German biotech company is behind the covid vaccines being rushed out in China as well as the USA and EU. The vaccine is being rushed through to eventual approval in an alarmingly short lime. Both US and EU authorities and presumably also Chinese, waived the standard animal tests using ferrets or mice and have gone straight to human "guinea pigs." Human tests began in late July and early August. Three months is unheard of for testing a new vaccine. Several years is the norm. Because of the degree of global panic engendered by WHO over the coronavirus, caution is thrown to the wind. Vaccine makers all have legal indemnity, meaning they can't be sued if people die or are maimed from the new vaccine. But the most alarming fact about the new Pfizer-BioNTech gene edited vaccine is that the gene edited mRNA for human vaccine application has never before been approved. Notably, two year peer reviewed tests with mice fed genetically modified corn sprayed with Monsanto glyphosate-rich Roundup first showed cancer tumors after nine months as well as liver and other organ damage. Earlier Monsanto company tests ended at three months and claimed no harm. A similar situation exists with the gene edited mRNA vaccines that are being rushed out after less than 90 days human tests. "Explicitly experimental" Or. Michael Yeadon replied in a recent public social media comment to a colleague in the UK; "All vaccines against the SARS-COV- 2 virus are by definition novel. No candidate vaccine has been ... in development for more than a few months." Yeadon then went on to declare, https://www. globalresearch.ca/what-not-said-pfizer-coronavirus-vaccine/5729461 ?print=1 1/3 11/15/2020 What's Not Being Said About the Pfizer Coronavirus Vaccine. "Human Guinea Pigs"? - Global ResearchGlobal Research "If any such vaccine is approved for use under any circumstances that are not EXPLICITLY experimental, I believe that recipients are being misled to a criminal extent. This is because there are precisely zero human volunteers for .. .whom there could possibly be more than a few months past-dose safety information: Yeadon is well qualified to make the critique. As he notes in the comment, "I have a degree in Biochemistry & Toxicology & a research based PhD in pharmacology. I have spent 32 years working in pharmaceutical R&D, mostly in new medicines for disorders of lung & skin. I was a VP at Pfizer & CEO .... of a biotech I founded (Ziarco - acquired by Novartis). I'm knowledgeable about new medicine R&D." He was formerly with Pfizer at a very senior level. Human guinea pigs? The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is experimental and far from guaranteed safe, despite the fact that Pfizer, the EU and the notorious Dr Tony Fauci seem ready to roll it out even before year end to hundreds of millions of humans. The experimental technology is based on a rather new gene manipulation known as gene editing. In a major article in the 2018 New York Council on Foreign Relations magazine, Foreign Affairs, Bill Gates effusively promoted the novel gene editing CRISPR technology as being able to "'transform global development." He noted that his Gates Foundation had been financing gene editing developments for vaccines and other s!P-Rlications for a decade. But is the technology for breaking and splicing of human genes so absolutely safe that it is worth risking on a novel experimental vaccine never before used on humans? Contrary to what Bill Gates claims, the scientific answer is no, it is not proven so safe. In a peer reviewed article in the October, 2020 journal Trends in Genetics, the authors conclude that "the range of possible molecular events resulting from genome editing has been underestimated and the technology remains unpredictable on, and away from, the target locus: Dr. Romeo Quijano, retired professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the College of Medicine, University of the Philippines Manila, noted some of the dangers of the experimental gene editing when applied to human vaccines. Quijano warns of, ·the danger that the vaccine might actually -enhance" the pathogenicity of the virus, or make it more aggressive possibly due to antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), as what happened with previous studies on test vaccines in animals. If that should happen in a major human trial the outcome could be disastrous. This serious adverse effect may not even be detected by a clinical trial especially in highly biased clinical trials laden with conflicts of interest involving vaccine companies. Even when a serious adverse event is detected, this is usually swept under the rug." He cites the case of another Gates mRNA vaccine candidate, Moderna, where "three of the 15 human experimental subjects in the high dose group suffered serious and medically significant symptoms. Moderna. however. concluded that the vaccine was "generally safe and well tolerated," which the corporate-dominated media dutifully reported, covering-up the real dangfil .. ." He notes, "Exogenous mRNA is inherently immune-stimulatory, and this feature of mRNA could be beneficial or detrimental. It may provide adjuvant activity and it may inhibit antigen expression and negatively affect the immune response. The paradoxical effects of innate immune sensing on different formats of mRNA vaccines are incompletely understood." Quijano adds, "A mRNA-based vaccine could also induce potent type I interferon responses, which have been associated not only with inflammation but also potentially with autoimmunity .. . and may promote blood coagulation and pathological thrombus formation.· Quijano writes in the extensively documented article, "among other dangers, the virus-vectored vaccines could undergo recombination with naturally occurring viruses and produce hybrid viruses that could have undesirable properties affecting transmission or virulence. The ... possible outcomes of recombination are practically impossible to quantify accurately given existing tools and knowledge. The risks, however, are real, as exemplified by the emergence of mutant types of viruses, enhanced pathogenicity and unexpected serious adverse events (including death) following haphazard mass vaccination campaigns and previous failed attempts to develop chimeric vaccines using genetic engineering technologY.." Bill Gates. the mRNA vaccine makers including Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna, and their close allies such as Dr. Tony Fauci of the NIAID are clearly playing fast and loose with human lives in their rush to get these experimental vaccines into our bodies. Notably, the same Dr. Fauci and his NIAID owns the patent on a vaccine for dengue fever known as Dengvaxia, marketed by Sanofi-Pasteur and promoted as an "essential" vaccine by Tedros' WHO since 2016. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (right) noted that Fauci and NIAID "knew from the clinical trials that there was a problem with paradoxical immune response," but they gave it to several hundred thousand Filipino kids anyway. It was estimated that as many as 600 vaccinated children died before the government stopped the vaccinations. Clearly the well-established Precautionary Principle-if in serious doubt, don't- is being ignored by Fauci, Pfizer/BioNTech and others in rushing to approve the new . mRNA vaccine for coronavirus. Messenger RNA technology has yet to produce an approved medicine, let alone a vaccine.

In the U.S., most public health laws, including vaccine laws, are enacted by the states,~ while the federal government makes vaccine use recommendations and can mandate vaccines for people crossing national or state borders. Local city and county governments also can impose their own public health regulations. 136 That is why some states and cities have seen very restrictive COVID-19 pandemic masking ill and lockdown regulations~ and others have been more open. 139

So whether or not you will be punished for refusing to get a COVID-19 shot next year primarily will be determined by your state's Governor and the representatives who have been elected to make laws in your state Capitol. .!.iQQepending upon where you live and the political philosophy of the majority of representatives in your state legislature, after the COVID-19 vaccine is licensed by the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and recommended by the CDC for use by all children and adults, ill if you refuse to get a COVID-19 shot, you could be blocked from: 142

• Being employed and going to work in an office • Getting and education • Obtaining a driver's license or passport • Boarding a train or other public transportation • Attending a sports game or concert • Entering a store, restaurant, bar, coffee shop or nail salon • Booking an appointment with a doctor

~~And you could be prohibited from checking into a hospital for surgery, or visiting a family member in a nursing home, or blocked from obtaining private health insurance and Medicaid or Medicare.~~

In other words, if you refuse to get a coronavirus vaccination, you could be subjected to the kinds of punitive social sanctions I have been predicting and publicly warned about since 1997, 143 144145 146 sanctions that are already being applied to Americans who decline to get or give their children dozens of doses of CDC "recommended" liability free vaccines 147 and already are being denied an education, medical care, and employment. fillli

Broken Promises Leads to Broken Trust Doctors and public health officials wondering why people don't trust what they say about infectious diseases and vaccination, including coronavirus and COVID-19 vaccines, only have to look in the mirror to answer the question.

Since 1982, parents of vaccine injured children have been begging doctors to do the kind of science that will explain why so many highly vaccinated children, who don't get measles or chicken pox anymore, are stuck on sick and suffering with brain and autoimmune disorders that never go away. 150 For four decades we have been asking ioctors and government health officials to stop sweeping casualties of inhumane one-size-fits all vaccine policies under the rug. 151

~~There is no other word for it but abuse.~~

They order us to obey them but refuse to take responsibility for what happens when we obey the orders they give. They expect us to trust them and refuse to care about the victims of vaccination when the benefits do not outweigh the risks. Instead, they act to protect the power and profit-making of their business partners: the pharmaceutical industry, medical trade associations, multi-national media corporations and Silicon Valley billionaires, and leave vaccine victims to take care of themselves.

~~What's trust got to do with it?~~

Broken trust has everything to do with why the majority of people in the U.S. and Europe do not want to roll the dice and find out whether the odds of surviving a COVID-19 vaccination are in their favor.

~~The World Economic Forum (WEF) has just published (October 2020) a so-called White Paper, entitled •~g the Future of Work Agenda - in a Post-Covid World".~~

Resetting the Future This 31-page document reads like a blueprint on how to "execute" - because an execution (or of Work Agenda: implementation) would be - "Covid-19 - The Great Reset" (July 2020), by Klaus Schwab, (Jjsrupt,on and Renewal 111 a Post-COv'ID Wond founder and CEO (since the foundation of the WEF in 1974) and his associate Thierry Malleret. They call "Resetting the Future" a White Paper, meaning it's not quite a final version. It is a draft of sorts, a trial balloon, to measure people's reactions. It reads indeed like an executioner's tale. Many people may not read it - have no awareness of its existence. If they did, they would go up in arms and fight this latest totalitarian blueprint, offered to the world by the WEF It promises a horrifying future to some 80%-plus of the (surviving) population. George Orwell's "1984" reads like a benign fantasy, as compared to what the WEF has in mind for humanity. The time frame is ten years - by 2030 - the UN agenda 2021 - 2030 should be implemented. Planned business measures in response to COVID-19: • An acceleration of digitized work processes, leading to 84% of all work processes as digital. or virtual / video conferences. • Some 83% of people are planned to work remotely - i.e. no more interaction between colleagues - absolute social distancing, separation of humanity from the human contact. • About 50% of all tasks are planned to be automated - in other words, human input will be drastically diminished, even while remote working. • Accelerate the digitization of upskilling / reskilling (e.g. education technology providers} - 42% of skill upgrading or training for new skills will be digitized, in other words, no human contact - all on computer, Artificial Intelligence Al al orithms. • Accelerate the implementation of upskilling / reskilling programs - 35% of skills are planned to be "re-tooled" - i.e. existing skills are planned to be abandoned - declared defunct. • Accelerate ongoing organizational transformations (e.g. restructuring) - 34% of current organizational set-ups are planned to be "restructured' - or, in other words, existing organizational structures will be declared obsolete - to make space for new sets of organizational frameworks, digital structures that provide utmost control over all activities. • Temporarily reassign workers to different tasks - this is expected to touch 30% of the work force. That also means completely different pay-scales - most probably unlivable wages, which would make the also planned ·universal basic salary" or "basic income" - a wage that allows you barely to survive, an obvious need. - But ii would make you totally dependent on the system - a digital system, where you have no control whatsoever. • Temporarily reduce workforce - this is projected as affecting 28% of the population. It is an additional unemployment figure, in disguise, as the "temporarily" will never come back to full-time. • Permanently reduce workforce - 13% permanently reduced workforce. • Temporarily increase workforce - 5% - there is no reference to what type of workforce - probably unskilled labor that sooner or later will also be replaced by automation, by Al and robotization of the workplace. • No specific measures implemented - 4% - does that mean, a mere 4% will remain untouched? From the algorithm and Al directed new work places? - as small and insignificant as the figure is, it sounds like "wishful thinking", never to be accomplished. • Permanently increase workforce - a mere 1% is projected as "permanently increased workforce". This is of course not even cosmetics. ll is a joke. This is the what is being put forth, namely the concrete process of implementing The Great Reset. The Great Reset also foresees, a credit scheme, whereby all personal debt would be "forgiven" - against handing over all personal assets to an administrative body or agency - could possibly be the IMF. So, you would own nothing - and be happy. Because all your necessities will be provided for.

Also, it should not occur to you to disagree with the system, because - by now each one of you has been covid-vaccinated and nano chipped - so that with 5G and soon to come 6G, your mind can be read and influenced. Please do not call this a conspiracy theory. It is a White Paper, an "authoritative report" by the WEF. DARPA - Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, is part of the Pentagon -and has years ago developed the technology. It is just a matter of time to implement it. And Implemented it will be, if We, The People, do not protest - Massive Civil Disobedience is of the order - and that rather sooner than later. The more we wait with action, the more we sleepwalk into this absolute human disaster.

~~Social and human relations are being eviscerated.~~

This has several advantages for this novel "totalitarian" WEF approach to humanity - to controlling humanity. - We, The People, cannot rebel, we have no longer cohesion among ourselves, -"We, The People", will be played against each other - and there is an absolute digital control over humanity - executed by a small super elite.

-We have no access to this digital control - it is way beyond our reach. The idea is, that we will gradually grow into it - those of us who may survive. Within a generation or so, it is expected to become the New Normal. The "survival angle" is an aspect not mentioned directly either in The Great Reset, or in the "Implementation Guide" - i.e. in the White Paper "Resetting the Future of Work Agenda - in a Post-Covid World". Bill Gates, the Rockefellers, Kissinger et al, have never made a secret out of their strong opinion that the world is over-populated and that the number of people has to be literally reduced. We are dealing with eugenicists. A perfect method for reducing the world population, are Bill Gates initiated, and WHO-supported vaccination programs. Scandals of such disastrous vaccine programs resulting in children's death were recorded in India (in the 1990s), Kenya (201 4 and thereafter) and other parts of the wortd. See also a very revealing TedTalk by Bill Gates of February 2010, "Innovating to Zero", just about at the time when the "2010 Rockefeller Report" was issued - the very report that has given us so far, the "Lock Step Scenario" - and we are living it now. Hardly protesting it - the entire world - 193 UN member countries - has been coopted or coerced into following this abject human rights abuse on a global scale. What either report, The Great Reset and the "Resetting the Future of Work Agenda" fails to mention is who is going to enforce these draconian new rules? - They are supposedly the same forces which now are being trained for urban warfare and for suppressing riots and social unrest - they are the police and the military. Part of our People's Organization of Civil Disobedience, will be on how to focus on and talking to, educating, informing the police and military of what they will be used for by this small elite, and that in the end they are also just human beings, like the rest of us, therefore they better stand up in defense of the people, of humanity. The same needs to be done to teachers and medical personnel - information, the unfettered truth. That's the challenge. If we succeed - the game is over. But it's a long way. Media disinformation is brutal and powerful and hard to contradict for "us", without a sizable budget for counter-propaganda, and as a group of people, which is ever more divided by the very media. The mandatory wearing masks and social distancing - has already made enemies of what we used to be, colleagues, friends, even within families. This very diktat has managed to create rifts, divisions and discord within our societies https://www.globalresearch.ca/worlcl-economic-forum-step-two-resetting-future-work-agenda-after-greal-reseVS729175?print=1 2/3 ~ 11/14/2020 The Post Covid World, The WEF's Diabolical Project: "Resetting the Future of Work Agenda" -After "The Great Reset". A Horrifying Fut. .. No fear - but shredding "Resetting the Future of Work Agenda" and the "The Great Reset" literally to pieces - with a human alternative that would do away with organizations like the WEF. and coopted UN agencies, like WHO, UNICEF, WTO, World Bank, IMF - and maybe even the entire UN system. Political and business leaders behind this project must be confronted. The fundamental principles of international law including Nuremberg must be applied.

~~VIDEO: The "Lock Step" Simulation Scenario: "A Coronavirus-like Pandemic that Becomes Trigger for Police State Controls"~~

By Helen Buv.niski Global Research, October 28, 2020 Global Research 5 February 2020 Ur1 of this article: htt~globalrec.earch.,.;a/all-seuors-us-establishment-lock-steR-deeQ-states-latest-bio-war/5702773

First published on February 5, 2020. In-depth analysis of the Simulation of a pandemic conducted in 2010 under the auspices of the Rockefeller Foundation. By now. those following the novel coronavirus epidemic are familiar with Event 201, the pandemic simulation staged by Johns Hopkins University in conjunction with the World Economic Forum, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Johnson & Johnson, and other ruling-class heavy hitters in October. The media establishment has already picked the story clean, set up and eviscerated a straw man ("No, Bill Gates didn 't cause the coronavirus epidemic, silly conspiracy theorists!j, and convinced the group itself lo issue a statement denyjJJ_g their exercise was meant to predict the behavior of the actual virus to follow. But few are aware that the epidemic playing out in China and two dozen other countries, including the US, is unfolding in line with a decade-old simulation titled "Lock Step" devised by the Rockefeller Foundation in conjunction with the Global Business Network. The scenario, one of four included in a publication called "Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development" in 2010, describes a coronavirus-like pandemic that becomes the trigger for the imposition of police-state controls on movement, economy, and other areas of society. The Lock Step scenario describes "a wor1d of tighter top-down government control and more authoritarian leadership, with limited innovation and growing citizen pushback." In ·2012• (i.e. two years after the report's publication), an "extremely virulent and deadly" strain of influenza originating with wild geese brings the world to its knees, infecting 20 percent of the global population and killing 8 million people in just seven months - "the majority of them healthy young adults." It devastates global economies and ruptures international trade. But not everyone, the Rockefeller Foundation makes clear, is hit equally. Countries of Africa, southeast Asia, and central America suffer the worst "in the absence of official containment protocols" - it wouldn't be the Rockefeller Foundation if someone wasn't licking their lips at the thought of a mass die-off in the Global South - but western "democracies" also pay the ultimate price. "The United States' initial policy of 'strongly discouraging' citizens from flying proved deadly in its leniency, accelerating the spread of the virus not just within the US but across borders," the report warns. But remove such obstacles as 'individual rights' and you have a recipe for surviving, even thriving in the event of a pandemic, the Foundation gushes: "A few countries did fare better - China in particular. The Chinese government's quick imposition and enforcement of 11Jandatory quarantine for all citizens, as well as its instant and near-hermetic sealing-off of all borders, saved millions of lives, stopping the spread of the virus far earlier than in other countries and enabling a swifter post-pandemic recovery." The message is clear - police state good, freedom bad. And other governments rapidly gel the message, according to the simulation. First and third world nations alike follow suit by "flexing their authority" and imposing quarantines, body-temperature checks, and other "airtight rules and restrictions" - most of which, the report is careful to note, remain in place even as the pandemic recedes into the past "In order to protect themselves from the spread of increasingly global problems - from pandemics and transnational terrorism to environmental crises and rising poverty - leaders around the world took a firmer grip on power." This global power-grab is facilitated by a frightened citizenry who "willingly gave up some of their sovereignty - and their privacy - to more paternalistic states in exchange for greater safety and stability ... tolerant, and even eager, for top-down direction and oversight." Everything from tighter biometric identification to stricter industrial regulation is welcomed with open arms. It takes over a decade for people to "grow weary" of the authoritarian controls imposed in the wake of the pandemic, and hints that even the civil unrest that ultimately manifests is focused on the developed world. After all, a popular uprising in the technocratic police state envisioned by the simulation would be all but impossible - as it will be in real life once 5G makes real-time total surveillance of all cities a reality.

Pin the blame on the dragon It remains unclear what - or who - unleashed the novel coronavirus in Wuhan. The initial claim that it originated in bats from a "wet market," in which live animals are sold and then butchered in front of the customer, couldn't have been more perfect from a western point of view - wet markets are reviled in the West, where consumers prefer that the animal cruelty required to put meat on their tables happens behind closed doors. While wet markets would seem to improve food safety by making it impossible to sell "mystery," mislabeled or expired meat, time and 2gain they are fingered as disease vectors by the disapproving West, every time followed by calls to ban them entirely. However, the Huanan seafood market hadn't sold bats for years, meaning - if the "wet market" hypothesis is to persist - an "intermediate host" species would be required to get the virus to humans. Snakes were nominated, even though scientists weren't sure they could be infected by a coronavirus - it was more imf,1ortant that they eat bats and were sold at the market. Three weeks after the Huanan seafood market was shuttered and disinfected, a Lancet study put the last nail in the hypothesis' coffin, revealing the first several coronavirus cases had no exposure to the market at all. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this has not discouraged the media from continuing to blame it for the epidemic. Beyond the disintegrating "official story," rumormongers have pinned the blame on the Chinese government, suggesting that through malice or incompetence Beijing released a virus cooked up in a top-secret bioweapons program operating in the city's high-security lab. The chief purveyor of this theory is Dany Shoham, an Israeli biosafety analyst, which should raise a forest of red flags in anyone familiar with Israel's own experiments in gene-targeted biowarfare even before taking into account Shoham's own history of fraudulently blaming Saddam Hussein's Iraq for the 2001 anthrax attacks. Other outlets spreading this theory cite American biosafety consultant Tim Trevan, who oR.lo.e.d in a 201 7 Nature article - published before the Wuhan lab even opened! - that "diversity of viewpoint'" and "openness of information" are both critical to the safe functioning of such a high-risk lab and alien to Chinese culture. The persistence of the "lab accident" theory of coronavirus' creation thus owes more to cultural chauvinism and sinophobia than any fact-based clues. - While many alt-media outlets have fingered Event 201 as the replica "drill" that so often coincides with a false flag event, few are aware that on the day after that simulation, the 2019 Military World Games kicked off in Wuhan, bringing 300 US military personnel to the city.

As of February 4, there are over 1,000 times more coronavirus ~ in China than outside of it, and the foreign cases appear to be ethnically Chinese where reported. This is not a coincidence - a recent scientific p_1;112er revealed the enzyme which serves as a receptor for novel coronavirus is produced by a certain type of lung cell found in ·extremely large numbers" in Asian men compared to those of other ethnicities. Even more intriguingly, those lung cells are involved in the expression of "many other genes that positively regulating [sicJ viral reproduction and transmission: The paper's authors stop short of suggesting the virus came out of a lab, instead drily observing that it seems to have "cleverly evolved to hijack this population of [lung] cells for its reproduction and transmission," but one man's clever viral evolution is another's expert bioweapon development. Certainly, American researchers have been surreptitiously collecting Chinese DNA for decades. A notorious Harvard School of Public Health program in the mid-1990s drafted village medics to administer "free physicals" to locals "with asthmatic symptoms.· These "checkups" were conducted as part of a genetic project that also involved the US National Institutes of Health and Millennium Pharmaceuticals, supposedly aimed at "identify[ing] and characteriz[ing] genes that play a role in causing asthma and other allergic disorders. " It later emerged that the researchers had secured the required consent forms from neither the local expenmental ethics board nor the test subjects themselves. A government inquiry was commandeered by an insider and squelched. Over 200,000 DNA samples were thus collected and spirited out of the country. US military literature has been lusting after genetically-targeted weapons for at least 50 years. The infamous Project for a New American Century, whose members have been steering the US ship of state into a series of icebergs since the George W. Bush administration, described gene-specific bioweapons as a "politically-useful tool," part and parcel of the "new dimensions of combat" in which the future's wars would unfold. In 1998, the year after PNAC's formation, re~ Israel was working on just such a weapon to target Arabs while leaving Jews untouched flooded the media - part PR campaign, part warning. And it is DARPA and other divisions of the US military, not the Chinese, that has been in tensively studyl.og bat-borne coronaviruses for years, even as their own high security biowarfare labs are being shut down for shoddy safety procedures. https://www.globalresearch.ca/all-sectors-us-establishment-iock-step-deep-states-latest-bio-war/5702773?print=1 2/3 11 /j 4/2020 -;. VIDEO· The "Lock Step" Simulation Scenario: "A Coronavirus-like Pandemic that Becomes Trigger for Police State Controls" - Global R. . Meanwhile, the likelihood of the Chinese government unleashing a genetically-targeted virus on its own population is vanishingly low. Unlike popular attitudes of "white guilt" in the West born of a hangover from colonialism, the Chinese do not traffic in racial self loathing - indeed, outsiders have accused the Chinese of an unspoken, unshakeable belief in their own racial superiority, and regardless of whether that belief is problematic, it is unlikely to lead to intentional self-genocide. Even if behavior-correcting false flag was sought by BetJmg in Hong Kong, where US-backed pro-"democracy" protests have raged destructively for months, such an event would not have been unleashed hundreds of miles away in Wuhan. Never let a good crisis go to waste? The real-life coronavirus is much less virulent than the pandemic described in Lock Step, with an official death toll of "just" 427 and a global infection toll of "only" 20,629 as of February 4, and the dead were mostly over 60 with preexisting medical issues. Economies wortdwide are nevertheless in free-fall just like the simulation predicted. This drop is fueled by scare-stories percolating in establishment media and alt-media alike (the name of an actual article in ZeroHedge by a Rabobank analyst: "What if we are on the brink of an exponential increase in coronavirus cases?") while videos of dubious origin appearing to show horrific scenes from within China keep the virus viral on social media. Adding to the fear is coronavirus' lengthy incubation period, up to two weeks in which a carrier could be blithely spreading it to everyone they meet, creating a constant threat of a "boom" in cases just around the comer. China's economy, of course, is being hit the worst, and the epidemic's timing could not have been more disastrous from Beijing's point of view, coming on the eve of the Lunar New Year holiday. At this time, some 400 million Chinese !@Yfil around the country to see family, mostly in the high-speed bullet trains that have their hub in - you guessed it - Wuhan. With much of this travel having occurred before the city was quarantined, cases are likely in their incubation phase all over the country, making today's numbers look like a rounding error. Correspondingly, the situation couldn't be better for the American ruling class: a pandemic that targets Asians striking China just when it's most vulnerable is a powerful blow to the rising superpower. And in case anyone still believes the circumstances of the virus' ascendance are merely an extended string of coincidences, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross took that plausible deniability and stomped on it last month. unable to stop himself from gushing that coronavirus would "help to accelerate the return of jobs to North America" in an interview with Fox News. Prefacing his victory lap by saying he didn't "want to talk about a victory lap over a very unfortunate, very malignant disease," he pointed out that businesses will be forced to take China's inexplicable susceptibility to deadly viruses into account when reviewing their supply chains. Unmentioned, but adding to the perfect economic storm, was Trump's signature on the USMCA trade agreement, supposed to bring in an extra 1.2 percentage points in GDP growth. "On top of all the other things, you had SARS, you had the African Swine virus there, now you have this," Ross said, hammering home the point by linking coronavirus to other suspect plagues. Just as many scientists concluded SARS was a manmade bioweapon, many - scientists and statesmen as well as alternative media - have raised the alarm about coronavirus. Good luck finding any of their statements on Google, however. Facebook, Youtube and Twitter have been hard at work removing coronavirus "rumors," and Google has memory-holed hundreds of search results regarding Chinese accusations of biowarfare. Even on platforms that don't censor on government orders, the baseless claims from Shoham and other disinfo artists about Chinese biowarfare have muscled any comments from Chinese officials out of the way. Even the former Malaysian PM's comments are obscured behind a Farsi language barrier - his original comments inexplicably missing from English-language media and reprinted only by Iran's IRIS News Agency (this author can no longer even find the tweet that alerted her to those comments, but would like to thank that person). Coronavirus is not the doomsday epidemic it is being portrayed as by irresponsible media actors. But as the Lock Step scenario makes clear, one does not need massive die-off or victims exploding in geysers of blood in the streets to achieve desired social goals. It's possible the novel coronavirus epidemic is a "dry run: a test of both China's readiness to handle an outbreak and of the international community's reaction to such a plague. It's even possible, though unlikely, that the epidemic was a mistake - that the virus escaped from a lab, likely American, by accident. It's also possible the plague may suddenly become more virulent. Certainly the media buzz the first week of February is that coronavirus is close to being declared a "pandemic" by the WHO, which will necessitate the type of control measures hinted at in Lock Step and described more exhaustively in Event 201. From "limited internet shutdowns" and "enforcement actions against fake news" to government bailouts of "core" industries, mandatory vaccinations, property seizures, and other police-state provisions laid out in the Model State Emergency Health Powers Acts passed in many US states in the paranoid aftermath of 9/11, the totalitarian nature of these provisions is limited only by the imagination of the regime carrying them out. Once events proceed to that stage, it is extremely difficult to reverse them. We would be wise not to allow this to happen.
