Biden, 81, has not been seen for five days since COVID diagnosis after extraordinary decision to drop out amid Trump’s claims he’s ‘not sick’

Speculation is swirling online that there is something nefarious going on in the White House and Republicans are now demanding ‘proof of life’ from President Joe Biden after he dropped his reelection bid.

Biden was last seen Wednesday when he arrived in Delaware after being pulled from the campaign trail when he received in the middle of his swing through Nevada a positive coronavirus diagnosis.

The 81-year-old President announced the end of his campaign in a one-page letter posted to X on Sunday.

‘I will speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision,’ Biden wrote in the letter.

Vice President Kamala Harris arrived at the White House on Monday – but still there are no pictures of sightings of Biden.

Donald Trump said Biden’s sickness was a ruse by Democrats to get him off the campaign trail and out of the race. The former president wrote on his Truth Social account: ‘Biden never had Covid. He is a threat to Democracy!’

Despite Biden’s line vowing to address the nation, Republicans are still skeptical of his health status and are demanding he emerge by the end of the day on Monday to confirm in-person his decision to drop out.

‘I demand proof of life from Joe Biden today by 5:00pm,’ Rep. Lauren Boebert posted to X on Monday.

‘He needs to get in front of some camera and discuss if he’s aware that he dropped out,’ the Colorado Republican wrote. ‘Hiding is completely unacceptable.’

Republican National Committeewoman from California Harmeet Dhillon posted to X: ‘Would anyone else here like to know the whereabouts and current health status of President Biden?’

Largest Study of Its Kind Finds Excess Deaths During Pandemic Caused by Public Health Response, Not Virus

A study released today of excess mortality in 125 countries during the COVID-19 pandemic found the major causes of death globally stemmed from public health establishment’s response, including mandates and lockdowns that caused severe stress, harmful medical interventions and the COVID-19 vaccines.

“We conclude that nothing special would have occurred in terms of mortality had a pandemic not been declared and had the declaration not been acted upon,” the authors of the study wrote.

Researchers from the Canadian nonprofit Correlation Research in the Public Interest and the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières analyzed excess all-cause mortality data prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning with the March 11, 2020, World Health Organization (WHO) pandemic declaration and ending on May 5, 2023, when the WHO declared the pandemic over.

The results, presented in a detailed 521-page analysis, establish baseline all-cause mortality rates across 125 countries and use those to determine the variations in excess deaths during the pandemic.

The researchers also used the baseline rates to investigate how the individual country variations in excess death rates correlated to different pandemic-related interventions, including vaccination and booster campaigns.

Not all of the results on a country-by-country basis were the same. For example, in some countries, mortality spikes occurred before the vaccines were rolled out, while in other places, the mortality spikes tracked closely with vaccine or booster campaigns.

In some places, excess mortality rates returned to baseline or close to baseline in 2022, while in others, the rates persisted well into 2023. Denis Rancourt, Ph.D., lead author of the study, told The Defender the disparities result from the complex nature of pandemic measures — and the data — in different areas.

Once Rancourt’s team was able to establish the baseline and excess mortality data for each place, they clustered and examined the data through different filters to interpret it, and drew several conclusions.

The Pandemic Response Was The Turning Point

The Republican convention made for great television, both entertaining and exciting, and infused with incredible energy after Trump’s miraculous survival of the assassination attempt. In the backdrop has been the astounding upheaval among Democrats: the drive to push Biden aside and get the top of the ticket replaced sooner rather than later, for fear of electoral loss in November.

All of this makes for wonderful drama, perfect for maximum views, public engagement, and the great American sport of politics.

It’s probably too much to ask for blunt truth in such contexts but there was and is one subject missing from the entire situation, and it provides the context for the rest. Whether it is the meltdown of trust, the inflation eating away purchasing power, the hard hit to household finances, the ill-health, the battle between the new media and old, and practically every other symptom you can name; they all trace to the same turning point.

U.S. Government ‘Saddled’ With COVID Vaccine Injury ‘Mess’ — While Vaccine Makers Avoid Liability

As early as January 2022, National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers were aware of at least 850 peer-reviewed case reports and/or research articles about COVID-19 vaccine reactions, according to emails obtained by Children’s Health Defense (CHD).

In one email (name and agency redacted), NIH researchers were told the federal government was “saddled” with the “mess” of dealing with those injured by the COVID-19 vaccines, due to the liability shield enjoyed by vaccine manufacturers.

The emails, part of a 309-page batch of documents released to CHD on June 21, originated from a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) request to NIH researchers for input on a report highlighting several injuries common among people who received the vaccines.

CHD requested the documents via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the NIH in November 2022. When the NIH hadn’t responded by April 2023, CHD sued the agency.

In an October 2023 settlement, the NIH agreed to produce up to 7,500 pages of documents at a rate of 300 pages per month.

The batch of documents released in June — which include emails to Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research — revealed that by fall 2021, key NIH researchers were aware of scientific studies on serious adverse events, including persistent neurological symptoms, following COVID-19 vaccines.

As with prior releases of the NIH documents, June’s tranche also included several emails from vaccine-injured individuals to NIH researchers, seeking help for their symptoms — with one person asking, “Why aren’t you studying vaccine injuries?”

Update on Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (ADE) in SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Vaccination

Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (ADE) is a complex immunological phenomenon where virus-specific antibodies, rather than neutralizing the virus, enhance its entry into host cells and amplify its replication. ADE can occur in the context of natural infections and vaccinations, leading to heightened disease severity. This phenomenon has been observed in various viral infections, including respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), dengue, and HIV, and has been a subject of intense scrutiny in the context of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19.

The historical context of ADE provides critical insights into its mechanisms and implications. One notable example is the RSV vaccine trials in the 1960s. Vaccinated children who later encountered natural RSV infection experienced more severe respiratory illness compared to unvaccinated children. This was attributed to ADE, where vaccine-induced antibodies facilitated enhanced viral entry and immune activation (Kim et al., 1969). Understanding the diverse mechanisms of ADE, its implications for vaccine development, and its potential occurrence in SARS-CoV-2 infection is crucial. This comprehensive analysis aims to elucidate the different types of ADE, evidence of ADE in SARS-CoV-2, and the risks and proposed mitigation strategies associated with ADE in COVID-19 vaccines.

Joe Biden is taking Paxlovid, even though doctors know it doesn’t really work

Another summer outbreak of COVID-19 is here. President Biden announced he is sick with the virus on Wednesday, and he’s in good company.

Test positivity rates are up across the country, according to the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, with rates especially high in California, New Mexico, and Nevada, where President Biden was traveling on Wednesday.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement on Wednesday that the president “has received his first dose” of Paxlovid, the antiviral treatment from Pfizer that’s meant to ease COVID-19 symptoms and make the virus less dangerous for high-risk patients.

But some experts wonder why you’d even prescribe this drug, which has been shown in study after study to be lackluster, at best.

Sixfold Increased Risk of Colon Cancer in Covid-Vaccinated — Study

A study published in June documented how one form of colon cancer saw a sixfold increase in individuals vaccinated with the Covid injection. The researchers explained the link between the shot and the cancer.

“Microsatellite instable (deficient mismatch repair, dMMR) colon cancer is associated with hypermutability and immune infiltration-activation. COVID-19 vaccines stimulate immune-inflammation response,” the study said in the ‘Introduction’ section.

A medical doctor broke down the findings on social media.

“Pfizer vaccination conferred sixfold increased risk,” Dr. Peter McCullough said regarding the study’s findings.

The researchers discussed how the Covid injection affects the immune system in a way that is linked to the onset of this type of colon cancer.

“Immune infiltration in dMMR colon cancer may interact with COVID-19 vaccine-induced immune activation,” the study said in the ‘Conclusion’ section.

The researchers compared the vaccinated and non-vaccinated cancer patients.

“The study was a single-center case-control study. Patients diagnosed with colon cancer at least three months after the last COVID-19 vaccine (BNT162b2, CoronaVac) dose were included. Patients with dMMR and microsatellite stable (MSS) tumors were defined as cases and controls, respectively, between June 2021 and June 2023,” the study said in the ‘Methods’ section. “Baseline characteristics and vaccine status between case-control groups were compared as univariable and multivariable. Inflammation markers were compared between MSS+CoronaVac and dMMR+BNT162b2 groups.”

After analyzing the study, Dr. McCullough discussed its findings on his Substack.

Former CDC Director Says FDA Underreported Adverse Vax Side Effects To Prevent Vaccine Hesitancy

Dr. Robert Redfield, the former director of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said Thursday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pushed a false “safe and effective” COVID vaccine narrative by underreporting adverse events. The mRNA shots “never should have been mandated,” Redfield told the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Thursday.

The Democrat-controlled Senate oversight hearing entitled “Risky Research: Oversight of U.S. Taxpayer Funded High-Risk Virus Research,” included witnesses  Dr. Gerald Parker, Dr. Carrie Wolinetz, Dr. Kevin Esvelt, and Redfield.

Former President Trump’s CDC director accused the Biden government of suppressing data about vaccine injuries in an effort to prevent vaccine hesitancy.

“There was not appropriate transparency from the beginning about the potential side effects of these vaccines, and I do think there were inappropriate decisions by some to try to underreport any side effects because they argued that would make the public less likely to get vaccinated” Redfield testified.

Redfield said the biggest mistake of all was the Biden regime’s decision to mandate the mRNA products.

“They never should have been mandated,” he said. “It should have been open to personal choice. They don’t prevent infection, they do have side effects.”

A growing number of doctors and scientists now say that the cost to society and the cost to the individual taking the COVID injection far outweighed any of the proposed benefits.

Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) pointed out that Biden regime officials like Dr.  Peter Marks, head of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, continue to deny that the injections are dangerous.

“They’re saying they [vaccine side effects] are rare and they’re mild,” Johnson said.

“The FDA should release all of the safety data they have,” Redfield replied. “I was very disappointed to hear that they’re planning to hold on to that [safety data] until 2026,” he continued. “That really creates a sense of a total lack of trust in our public health agencies toward vaccination. It’s counterproductive,” he added.

Johnson lamented that he has been unable to get Rep. Gary Peters (D-Wis.), the chairman of the the Senate Homeland Security Committee, to issue any subpoenas to the relevant health agencies to obtain the safety data.

“I would suggest you do that,” the Republican told Peters.

Pfizer is acquiring drug companies to profit from chronic diseases caused by their own COVID-19 “vaccines”

If you want to know the long-term side effects of the COVID-19 vaccines, pay close attention to Pfizer’s latest acquisitions. Since the rollout of their COVID-19 vaccine, Pfizer has acquired specific pharmaceutical companies that treat immune-inflammatory diseases, heart inflammation and various cancers. As their experimental use vaccine was being mandated on the population (including on the military) Pfizer was investing in drugs that target health conditions that were created and/or exacerbated by their experimental vaccines.

Pfizer acquired a drug company that treats immune-inflammatory diseases, including myocarditis

For instance, in 2021, Pfizer acquired Arena Pharmaceuticals. The price tag of the acquisition was disproportionate to the market size of the drug they acquired, but the shrewd Pfizer executive team knew the acquisition would be worth it in the end. By acquiring Arena Pharmaceuticals, Pfizer was able to control the future of therapeutics for various immune-inflammatory diseases, including drugs that address heart inflammation (myocarditis and pericarditis). These health problems skyrocketed after 2021, when Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccines were unlawfully mandated on populations and haphazardly placed on the CDC’s childhood vaccine schedule. Today, Pfizer is profiting from health issues that they caused, keeping people in a state of illness and pharmaceutical dependence.

Pfizer acquires drug company that treats various cancers, capitalizing on the turbo cancer epidemic

By 2023, Pfizer spent $43 billion of their vaccine profits to acquire Seagen Pharmaceuticals, a little-known drug company that specializes in cancer treatments. Now, Pfizer is profiting from the surge in turbo cancers that are affecting vaccinated people of all age groups. Turbo cancer is a new phenomenon where oncologists describe a new wave of aggressive cancers that that kill people in weeks or days, as opposed to months or years. There’s no doubt that something is causing immunodeficiency. The very thing that populations were told to take to protect those with immunodeficiency has created an entire new class of people with immunodeficiency and turbo cancers. Meanwhile, their destructive biological weapons remain on the market, ensuring that these health issues continue to be profitable ventures for years to come.

COVID panel recommends ending Chinese immunity against U.S. lawsuits, but invokes strange statistics

Republican and Democratic heavy-hitters from the intelligence and political worlds are calling for legislative changes to hold China accountable for the economic harm caused by its ongoing lack of transparency on COVID-19, which they estimate to have cost $18 trillion in the U.S. alone.

Convened by the conservative Heritage Foundation, the nine-member Nonpartisan Commission on China and COVID-19 is dominated by former Trump administration officials but also includes a former Clinton administration National Security Council director and ex-Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota.

Their report Monday calls for Congress to create and fund a “bipartisan U.S. National COVID-19 Commission” and a “Reparations/Compensation Task Force,” and revise the Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act to allow civil claims against China in U.S. courts, paid with “a deduction on interests or debts owed to China or through deductions from foreign aid funds to China.”

Lawmakers should establish an audit of U.S.-funded biomedical and related research in China, with a “rebuttable presumption” that funding should be cut unless sponsors can show the research projects are “overwhelmingly in the public interest and entail extremely low risk of harm.” Another federal commission would oversee the review. 

House Speaker Mike Johnson mentioned one of their recommendations, passing the Biosecure Act to decouple supply chains from Chinese state-backed companies, at a Hudson Institute speech Monday.

“China poses the greatest threat to global peace” and “Congress must keep our focus on countering China with every tool in our code,” the Louisiana Repubican said. “Our goal is to have a significant package of China-related legislation signed into law by the end of this year.”

The commission recommends the president demand, as a “diplomatic priority,” that China allow a “comprehensive, unfettered scientific and forensic investigation” into COVID origins, economic sanctions on officials and entities involved with the “cover-up,” and recognizing the pandemic as “similar to the dawning of the nuclear age,” with corresponding changes to law and commerce.

The report makes curious choices with its statistics, however, possibly to inflate the amount of damages for which China could be held liable.
