Do you know why doctors and nurses remained silent about all the clots, strokes, etc. after the COVID shot rollout?

After the COVID shots rolled out, critical care units of hospitals were seeing massive spikes in clots and strokes.

Why didn’t they speak up?

Because they didn’t want to lose their job (or their medical license) for creating vaccine hesitancy.

I wish I was kidding about this, but I’m not.

I heard this directly from the nursing staff at a large hospital I was just at.

This is why people don’t trust doctors. It’s not the fault of “misinformation spreaders.” It’s because doctors aren’t allowed to tell us the truth.

Senate Panel Rejects Immunity For Ex-Fauci Aide

The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs rejected on Sept. 23 a bid to seek immunity for a longtime special assistant to Dr. Anthony Fauci.

The vote on a resolution authorizing an application for a court order compelling testimony under immunity from the assistant, who was not identified, fell short of the required two-thirds of members.

All eight Republicans, but no Democrats, voted in favor. Two Democrats would have had to cross the aisle for the resolution to be approved.

Fauci, 85, headed the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from 1984 to 2022.

He refused to answer questions before the panel earlier in the year, citing the Fifth Amendment, prompting the committee to refer him for contempt of Congress to federal prosecutors.

The Department of Justice has not charged Fauci with any crimes.

As Zachary Stieber reports for The Epoch Times, the female assistant worked for Fauci from 2007 to 2022, according to Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the committee’s chairman.

He said her position “placed her in the flow of communications directly relevant to our investigation” into Fauci.

She recently appeared behind closed doors before the committee and invoked the Fifth Amendment, or her right against self-incrimination.

The questions senators want answered primarily deal with the destruction of government records, Paul said. A doctor who was a longtime adviser to Fauci recently pleaded guilty to conspiring to delete government records. Fauci has directed subordinates to delete emails.

Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), who voted against the resolution, said before the vote that senators should pursue a “good-faith bipartisan approach to obtain this information” rather than rush to approve the resolution.

Republicans expressed frustration and anger that only Hassan among Democratic panel members was present during the meeting.

“I come from the private sector. To not show up to a meeting, to say ‘I refuse to do my job,’ is something that only happens in politics,” Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) said.

“That is outrageous.”

After the vote, Paul said:

“A majority of the committee voted to seek the truth. All Republicans voted to seek the truth. We voted to protect this witness and hear her story. All we needed was two Democrats who wanted to hear her story, but not a single one of them is interested in the investigation or the truth about destruction of federal records.”

Hassan said that was a mischaracterization of the Democrats’ position.

Paul said he would be sending a letter to the Department of Justice requesting pursuit of the matter, and said his committee’s investigation into government record destruction will continue.

COVID Response: Do We Really Want To Go Back To That?

COVID changed the way I hear the word “temporary.”

Before 2020, ‘temporary’ was temporary. Something happened, you dealt with it, and eventually you went back to living your life.

Then came COVID.

Most of us remember the rest. The empty streets. The closed businesses. The masks. The six-foot circles on the floor. Schools closed, churches restricted, nursing homes became nearly impossible to visit, and governments suddenly had an extraordinary amount to say about what ordinary Americans could and could not do.

I don’t need to make a list of everything that happened. You lived through it.

So did I.

What interests me now isn’t relitigating every lockdown decision or deciding which governor got which decision right. It is what the whole experience taught us about government power.

We learned that “temporary” can become a remarkably elastic word.

We also learned how quickly people will surrender ordinary freedoms when the circumstances are frightening enough.

I understood the fear. I had elderly people in my family, and I wanted to protect them. That’s why I eventually took the COVID shot.

I don’t regret doing it for them.

But I remember watching government move from telling us to be careful to telling us what we could do. At one point, OSHA tried to impose a vaccine-or-test requirement on businesses with 100 or more employees, covering roughly 84 million workers. The Supreme Court stopped it.

That was the moment the issue became especially clear to me.

This wasn’t simply about where I could go anymore. Government was reaching into the relationship between an employee and an employer.

That’s a lot of power.

And once you’ve seen government exercise that kind of power, you don’t forget it.

The consequences weren’t confined to the moment, either. Children lost months of schooling. Businesses that had taken years to build disappeared. Families missed funerals and time with dying relatives. Some of those losses can’t be measured by a statistic because there isn’t a statistic for a grandmother who couldn’t hug her grandchild.

NWEA’s 2023-24 analysis found that students still needed the equivalent of 4.8 additional months of schooling in reading and 4.3 months in math to reach pre-COVID achievement levels.

Those are the numbers.

Army flight surgeon drops bombshell: 29 troop deaths after COVID shot, 55,000 adverse-events, and 2,500 death files now under review

A bombshell sworn declaration filed in federal court is raising new questions about the Biden-era COVID-19 vaccine mandate imposed on America’s military.

According to TrialSite News, Army Lt. Col. Theresa Long, a retired Army flight surgeon now serving as senior medical military adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and reporting to War Secretary Pete Hegseth, filed a sworn declaration in Adirim v. U.S. Central Intelligence Agency et al., in the Eastern District of Virginia.

Long told the court she has firsthand knowledge of more than 29 service-member deaths after COVID-19 vaccination and that she has been tasked with examining roughly 55,000 military-linked adverse-event reports, including 2,544 death reports in the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

“I have first hand knowledge of over 29 deaths of servicemembers after vaccination with the COVID-19 vaccines. I am currently tasked with investigating the 55,000 vaccine adverse event reports filed on individuals identified as members of the U.S. Armed Forces, this includes 2544 deaths.

“As the first aviation brigade surgeon I had one servicemember die of rapid onset and progression of esophageal cancer after COVID vaccination and one in which a student pilot who had never been COVID positive, who experienced sudden cardiac death at the controls of a helicopter during a training flight.

“An independent cardiologist evaluated all imaging, labs and history on the student pilot and determined that myocardial injury secondary to the COVID-19 vaccines was the most likely cause.

American Taxpayers Funded 2021 Haitian President Assassination Through Fraudulent COVID PPP Loans

The level of government incompetence, or flat-out corruption, under the Biden regime is off the charts!

It has now been confirmed in federal court records that the 2021 assassination plot against Haitian President Jovenel Moïse was directly bankrolled using stolen American taxpayer money funneled through fraudulent pandemic relief programs!

According to federal indictments and official Department of Justice filings, South Florida operatives exploiters of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) schemes funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars meant for struggling small businesses straight into buying weapons, tactical gear, and mercenary squads to overthrow a foreign government.

On July 7, 2021, mercenaries, mostly former Colombian soldiers, with Haitian-American facilitators, stormed Moïse’s private residence outside Port-au-Prince. They posed as DEA agents. The president was shot to death in his bedroom. First Lady Martine Moïse was wounded. Their children were in the house. Haiti has been a gang-run catastrophe ever since.

The Gateway Pundit reported at the time that Florida-based Haitian-American doctor Christian Emmanuel Sanon was arrested and identified by Haitian police as one of the men the plotters intended to install in power. Sanon still faces trial in the United States.

Here is what federal prosecutors and a Miami jury have now established.

Starting in June 2020, while American small businesses were begging for payroll help, Coral Springs fundraiser Keegan Harricharan and co-conspirator Jacob Israel fraudulently obtained about $840,827 in Paycheck Protection Program loans under the CARES Act. Israel and his associates took roughly $126,124 in kickbacks, according to the DOJ.

‘Fur Lives Matter’ and the COVID Fraud That Refuses to Die

During COVID, Washington handed out emergency money so quickly that apparently even businesses that weren’t operating could develop pandemic financial problems.

Federal prosecutors have charged Missouri resident Jamie Gray with wire fraud and money laundering after alleging he submitted 29 applications through the Paycheck Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loan program involving 19 purported businesses. Gray allegedly sought $55,931,875 and ultimately received about $820,000.

Then we get to the company name.

Of the 19 businesses Gray claimed, prosecutors say only one met the basic test of actually existing and operating before the program’s February 15, 2020, eligibility cutoff. Its name was Fur Lives Matter, a real Texas company that investigators say had no knowledge of Gray. Federal authorities allege he simply used the company’s identity.

From the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Rhode Island:

Beyond newly charged defendants, as part of Operation No Doze, approximately 43 defendants pleaded guilty to SBA-related COVID fraud, reaching approximately $44 million in intended loss.  And approximately 40 defendants were sentenced for SBA-related COVID fraud, reaching nearly $100 million in intended loss.

Together, this targeted surge resulted in fraud enforcement actions spanning over 160 criminal defendants and involved approximately $245 million dollars in intended loss to American taxpayers.

There are fraud cases, and then there are fraud cases that arrive with their own punchline.

The government says the application contained fabricated information about ownership, employees, revenue, and business operations. The allegations haven’t been proven in court, and Gray is presumed innocent unless prosecutors prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.

FDA relied on broken data mining process to sell COVID vaccines: report

Top officials with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) were warned in early 2021 of a critical defect in the country’s vaccine monitoring system yet chose to rely on it anyway while assuring the public of the COVID-19 vaccines’ safety, according to a new report.

On September 16, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) published a report detailing flaws in the algorithms used to sift through the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) to find safety signals with the COVID shots that would require investigation.

One of those algorithms would calculate “proportional reporting ratios” (PRRs), identifying events that were reported at a higher rate than others, along with “empirical bayesian” data mining.

But according to the BMJ’s investigation, the agency’s algorithm was “mathematically compromised by the deluge of covid vaccine adverse event reports – resulting in a near total loss of signal detection sensitivity for the new mRNA vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna.” More significantly, top officials were warned early in 2021, yet chose to keep relying on it anyway, and even “cited the absence of signals when assuring clinicians and the public of the vaccines’ safety.”

In February 2021, the Israeli Ministry of Health informed the FDA and CDC of a “a large number of reports of myocarditis, particularly in young people” after vaccination, and followed up five weeks later that two of the 77 had died. The Pentagon Defense Health Agency subsequently reported a “cluster” of myocarditis cases among male soldiers. By May, VAERS had gotten hundreds of such reports, prompting the CDC to begin alerting medical professionals.

Then-FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation & Research director Peter Marks emailed CDC director Rochelle Walensky, expressing concern that “myocarditis and pericarditis have not actually signaled … Can you help me understand why we are doing this when pediatricians and others in the community already seem to be aware?”

As VAERS reports continued to mount, health officials inquired as to why they were not receiving safety signals from the government.

“The problem arose because, in the first year of the rollout, almost all the reports coming into VAERS – more than 90% of 1.1 million – were for the mRNA covid shots, dwarfing vaccines for all other diseases,” BMJ explained. “This meant that analyzing the safety of one vaccine, for example Pfizer’s product, involved comparing it to other vaccines, which were overwhelmingly limited to Moderna’s product. But if both mRNA vaccines elevated the risk of an adverse event like myocarditis in roughly equal amounts, the ‘observed’ frequency and ‘expected’ frequency would be similar, resulting in no automated alert. The statistical phenomenon is known as ‘masking.’”

Microbiologist and immunologist Ana Szarfman, an expert in drug safety data mining who worked with the FDA for decades, emailed Marks directly with concerns about the system. Two weeks later, a video conference was held in which Szarfman’s presentation explained that the PRR analysis “Highlights almost everything,” whereas the FDA’s bayesian approach did not: “You are not getting useful information with such low counts.”

Yet Marks and his team declined to change course and urged Szarfman to “hold off on creating and sending data mining reports and analyses using covid-19 vaccine AE (adverse event) data.”

Gates used vaccine funding to pressure governments – Merkel

Bill Gates turned the vast financial resources of his foundation into political leverage, using its wealth to pressure governments to spend more on vaccination, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said.  

In the Meckel & Matthes podcast released by Handelsblatt earlier this month, Merkel warned that uncontrolled corporate power could leave governments doing “what the corporations order.” She said she first saw the danger not with the rise of artificial intelligence, but when Gates set up his foundation, which had more money “than the development budgets of major industrialized countries.”  

An unelected billionaire had effectively put himself on a political footing with elected leaders, according to Merkel.  

“He was suddenly received at least as warmly by some heads of state in the world as I was,” Merkel recalled. “And then he also had the power – by virtue of his money – to exert moral pressure.” If governments failed to provide enough funding for the international vaccine alliance, “we were immediately in a bad light,” she said.  

Gates would then tell African leaders that “Merkel had been stingy this year,” she recalled. “And with that, he had gained considerable power.”  

The vaccine alliance Merkel referred to is Gavi, a public-private partnership involving governments, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the World Bank and private donors. The Gates Foundation was a founding partner, providing $750 million in seed funding, and has since contributed billions of dollars to the organization. Germany became a major Gavi donor during her chancellorship, pledging €600 million for 2016-2020 and another €600 million for 2021-2025.

Vance: 870K suspected COVID-loan fraudsters barred from future federal assistance

Vice President JD Vance announced Monday that the federal government will suspend roughly 870,000 individuals suspected of defrauding pandemic-era small business programs, permanently barring them from receiving future government-backed loans.

Speaking at an FBI field office in Kansas City, Missouri, Vance described the administrative crackdown as a blunt message of accountability, stating that borrowers who stole from taxpayers would no longer be eligible to borrow money or participate in programs administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA).

The sweeping suspensions stem from a multi-agency operation that flagged an estimated $39 billion in suspected fraudulent activity across 45 states and U.S. territories.

The announcement was made alongside key administration officials, including Attorney General Todd Blanche, FBI Director Kash Patel and SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler. It accompanied a broader Justice Department campaign targeting fraud in emergency aid initiatives like the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) scheme.

Officials revealed that recent enforcement drives have resulted in criminal charges against nearly 80 individuals for schemes involving fake businesses, falsified payrolls, and identity theft, alongside dozens of guilty pleas and sentences connected to hundreds of millions in intended losses.

Authorities emphasized that barring these individuals from federal assistance — including disaster loans and SBA contracting programs — is a crucial first step toward curbing systemic abuse.

The enforcement surge highlights ongoing efforts to claw back billions of dollars distributed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic under highly relaxed safeguard protocols.

Oversight watchdogs, including the SBA’s Inspector General, have previously estimated that total fraudulent disbursements across pandemic emergency relief channels exceed $200 billion.

Justice Department officials attributed the continued wave of prosecutions years after the programs closed to expanded staffing, increased federal resources and improved cross-agency data sharing, assuring the public that federal investigators will continue pursuing fraudulent networks both domestically and abroad.

Leaked Data Show Israel Covered Up HUNDREDS of COVID Shot Deaths and Hospitalizations Within Weeks of Vaccine Rollout

A newly published peer-reviewed study has exposed an internal Israeli Ministry of Health pharmacovigilance dataset documenting 531 hospitalizations and 67 deaths within weeks of mass COVID-19 “vaccine” rollout.

Nearly half of all hospitalization reports involved myocarditis or pericarditis. Among people under 30, that figure surged to 151 of 211 (71.6%), including 48 patients under 18.

But the most important revelation was how early Israeli authorities had this information. By March 25, 2021, barely three months into the vaccine rollout, Israel had already reported to Pfizer 46 deaths, 157 hospitalizations, and 65 myocarditis/pericarditis cases. These were not retrospective estimates assembled years later; they came from an operational Ministry of Health pharmacovigilance dataset used to document serious events considered relevant enough to report directly to the manufacturer. The median reported interval from vaccination to death was just 3 days.

Israel had already alerted the CDC and European Medicines Agency to approximately 40 myocarditis cases by the end of February 2021. By March 25, the internal records contained the 46 deaths, 157 hospitalizations, and 65 myocarditis/pericarditis reports described above. Yet the study reconstructs a delay of roughly three to four months before the myocarditis signal was meaningfully communicated to clinicians and the public.

When the risk was finally acknowledged, the public messaging emphasized that myocarditis was “rare,” “mild,” and transient and that vaccination benefits outweighed the risks. That characterization was fraudulent given their internal record containing hundreds of serious hospitalizations, severe cardiac injury, and deaths.
