Fauci Warns “Normalization Of Conspiracy Theories Threatens Democracy”

Dr. Fauci warns the “normalization of untruths and conspiracy theories” could collapse democracy.

“Do not accept the normalization of untruths as something that’s normal… from things as ridiculous as that COVID vaccines have killed more people than COVID.”

“And when you normalize untruths, then no one knows what really is true.”

“And guess what? When you look at history, when that happens, that’s when democracies fall apart.”

This clip is from a conversation with Dr. Anthony Fauci at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, as part of the Dr. Lawrence H. and Roberta Cohn Forum series.

It was moderated by Bailey Bowcutt, a PhD candidate at the school, and focused on Fauci’s career in public health, including topics like communicating science and addressing misinformation.

The Bizarro-World Of The Forever Maskers

The Telegraph has a story about the ‘Zero Covid’ zealots refusing to re-enter society.

Not only that, but these forever maskers want everyone else masked up in perpetuity too. It’s a remarkable instance of the emergence of a new form of cult based on a surreal new ritual. And just for good measure, it seems that those leaning Left are most likely to be on board:

The claims of links to Covid circulating online amid the deadly chaos were not always proved beyond doubt, but in this climate of fear and confusion, a determined ‘Zero Covid’ community emerged. Co-opting a phrase that was originally an official public health policy, the ‘Zero Coviders’ believed they were watching a massacre in real time, and the maskless – especially those who were unvaccinated – were to blame. As governments relaxed the restrictions, they felt they needed to step up.

“I was like, ‘Okay, this is not right. This is f—–,’” says [Alyson] Hardwick, a second-year university student who does not have any underlying health conditions. The last time she ate indoors at a restaurant was in October 2022 for her 31st birthday. “I felt sketched out [uneasy],” she recalls. “I was leaving every place I was going inside without a mask, wondering, ‘Did I get it?’”

Hardwick began wearing a respirator mask – specialised, disposable facepieces called N95s or N99s which offer more comprehensive protection than a surgical mask – and spending most of her time alone.

She’s ostracised herself from other people and posts thousands of clips online and argues that it’s everyone else, not her, who is living in fear. “Denial is a fear response,” she insists.

Hardwick’s stance exemplifies the increasingly fraught Zero Covid movement – a citizen-led campaign across the Western world to keep the air clean. She is just one of thousands of geographically disparate people, many of whom are not immunocompromised, who are still living in their own self-imposed lockdowns, fearful of becoming one of the millions to suffer with serious long Covid symptoms, or anxious about transmitting the virus to someone less fortunate. Zero Covid has adherents across North America and Europe, including some in the UK, but followers from the US and Canada are the most visible online.

The charged movement to end ‘pandemic denialism’ has some high-profile advocates, including Left-wing US journalist Taylor Lorenz. “If ur [sic] not masking ur absolutely facilitating eugenics,” Lorenz posted to her 350,000 followers on X on December 6th.

“Refusing to mask during an ongoing pandemic is absolutely violent and it’s undeniably participating in social murder,” she said in another recent post, as well as calling out Leftist “super spreader” events. “You are actively *killing* and maiming people around you by intentionally spreading airborne disease during an active pandemic.” (Separately, she pilloried non-maskers for “raw-dogging the air and spewing ur disease laden breath all over ur elderly neighbours”.)

By 2022, the pandemic and the panicked measures were retreating into the past:

But the cautious, despite getting vaccinated and then boosted, couldn’t move on. Online communities became lifelines as in-person social circles frayed. Campaigners pushed ‘clean air’ as the next public-health frontier, and offered seatbelt analogies for masking: mildly inconvenient, obviously protective.

Masking was increasingly framed as an act of love, and it was overwhelmingly Left-wing groups which encouraged – even mandated – their continued use. Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac encouraged continued mask wearing. “I f—— hate the masks, but I wear them,” she said. “People give you dirty looks. I dare anybody to give me a dirty look. I would just say, ‘Hey, you know what? I’m Stevie Nicks.’”

That would presumably be the same Stevie Nicks who reportedly blew a hole through her nose from snorting cocaine. By 2023 mask use was largely discredited, but the Telegraph quotes a Mayo Clinic source:

“People who rebuilt their entire lives and recast their identities around reducing the risk of catching Covid to zero couldn’t deal with this,” one former ardent Zero Covider recalls, speaking to me on condition of anonymity.

“The movement devolved into a massive online circle-jerk where members blindly validate each other on taking disproportionate precautions.

One ardent proponent of masking says that’s the way he’ll spend the rest of his life:

“I don’t just, like, go out the way I used to,” says Evan Sachs, who is in his early 30s and lives in New York with his three cats. He always wears a mask outdoors.

“Sometimes it’s a bummer.” Not because masking is keeping him from living his life, he adds, “but because other people [selfishly] aren’t doing the ‘wearing your pants’ levels of easy things” to keep everyone safe. He runs a ‘bloc’ in the Washington Heights area of New York which distributes personal protective equipment (PPE) to less well-off communities. “I do not have Long Covid, thank goodness,” Sachs adds. “I am very, very lucky on that front.”

He doesn’t want to get it either. “I honestly think I would [mask forever],” he says.’

Our CENSORED Study Showing mRNA Injections Induce Severe Genetic Disruption Linked to Cancer and Chronic Disease Is Now Peer-Reviewed and Published

Finally, we declare a major victory against the Academic Journal Cartel and their PubPeer Mob enforcement apparatus.

Earlier this year, our landmark study—“Synthetic mRNA Vaccines and Transcriptomic Dysregulation: Evidence from New-Onset Adverse Events and Cancers Post-Vaccination”— became one of the most-read and most-downloaded preprints in the world.

Shortly thereafter, it was abruptly withdrawn by MDPI for a vague and unexplained reason.

It was also wiped from ResearchGate, leaving no trace of this important study behind.

We identified that this unethical removal was likely the result of coordinated Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex pressure and PubPeer mob attacks, intended to shield the deadly mRNA platform.

Their efforts have failed miserably.

Now, our landmark study — Synthetic messenger RNA vaccines and transcriptomic dysregulation: Evidence from new-onset adverse events and cancers post-vaccination — documenting severe, long-lasting transcriptomic disruption following COVID-19 mRNA injections has been officially peer-reviewed and published in the World Journal of Experimental Medicine, a PubMed.gov indexed journal.

The study was conducted by scientists from Neo7Bioscience (Dr. John Catanzaro, Dr. Natalia von Ranke, Dr. Wei Zhang, Dr. Philipp Anokin), the McCullough Foundation (Dr. Peter McCullough and Nicolas Hulscher) and Medicinal Genomics (Kevin McKernan).

Using high-resolution RNA sequencing of blood samples and differential gene expression analysis, we found that COVID-19 “vaccines” severely disrupted the expression of thousands of genes—inducing mitochondrial failure, immune system reprogramming, and oncogenic activation that persisted for months to years after injection.

Troops Discharged Over Biden’s Vaccine Mandate to Receive Honorable Status.

The Trump administration is directing the Pentagon to proactively review and upgrade the records of service members discharged from the U.S. military for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine under the former Biden government. Administration officials say the effort aims to restore honor to individuals who received “general discharge” as a result of the mandate.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, in a December memorandum, emphasized the progress made since the initial directive to reinstate veterans who were involuntarily discharged or voluntarily left military service due to the “unfair, overbroad, and unnecessary” COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The new directive expands these efforts by ordering a review of personnel records to identify those discharged solely for vaccine refusal and facilitate appropriate upgrades.

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell explained the impetus for the new directive, “Under the previous administration, the Department involuntarily separated approximately 8,700 Service members for failing to comply with the Department’s since-rescinded COVID-19 vaccination mandate. Of those, more than 3,000 received less-than-honorable discharge characterizations.” Parnell added that military departments have been instructed to complete their reviews within one calendar year, with no action required from former service members.

Military service members impacted by the former Biden government vaccine mandate may also access the military board review website to address any perceived errors or injustices in their records. “The Department is committed to ensuring that everyone who should have received a fully honorable discharge receives one and continues to right wrongs and restore confidence in, and honor to our fighting force,” Parnell noted.

Additionally, an Executive Order signed by President Donald J. Trump in November reinstated GI benefits for veterans discharged due to the vaccine mandate.

FDA Leadership Refuses to Add Black Box Warning to mRNA Injections—Despite FDA Scientists Recommending It

A few days ago, CNN reported that the FDA intended to place a black box warning on COVID-19 mRNA injections for serious adverse events, including death.

However, in a striking reversal first reported by Maryanne Demasi, FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary appeared on Bloomberg and claimed the agency now has “no plans” to implement a black box warning—despite the FDA’s own Center for Safety and Epidemiology formally recommending one. He claimed that Dr. Vinay Prasad and “leadership” thought it would be a bad idea.

Dr. Makary stated:

Now, when it comes to the black box warning, we have no plans to put that on the COVID vaccine. The Safety and Epidemiology center within the FDA did recommend that it was a recommendation formally put out. But some of our scientists and leadership, like Dr. Vinay Prasad, have said it may be different today than it was in the first year of COVID when the shot came out.

Because when you have those two doses three months apart, that’s when you see the side effects go way up, like myocarditis in young people. Now that it’s annual, you may not see that same prevalence.

So we don’t want to extrapolate findings to today if it’s not transferable.

This rationale is deeply flawed—and gravely worrisome. It assumes that cardiotoxic injury from mRNA injections is acute, transient, and dose-interval dependent, rather than structural, cumulative, and capable of causing delayed fatal outcomes. That assumption is directly contradicted by the peer-reviewed literature.

Head of FDA Says Biden Administration Hid Data On Heart Risks From COVID Vaccines

The head of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Commissioner Marty Makary, claimed that the Biden administration withheld data from the public on the risks of myocarditis from the COVID-19 vaccine. This vaccine was created and pushed by the first Trump Administration under Operation Warp Speed. 

Trump has taken full responsibility for implementing the mass vaccine policy rolled out to the public at “warp speed.” However, the FDA appears to be placing the blame for hiding safety and efficacy data on the Biden administration.

“We have done more to study myocarditis and to go back and look at deaths of people, of children from the Covid vaccine,” Makary told NBC News in an interview. “Internal data submitted on myocarditis, we found that the Biden administration was sitting on data on myocarditis in young people, and it was not made public.”

Makary’s claim comes less than a week after Vinay Prasad, the FDA’s top vaccine regulator, told agency staff in a memo that an internal review found that at least 10 children died “after and because of receiving” the Covid shot. Prasad suggested — without evidence to support his claim — that the child deaths were tied to myocarditis. –NBC News

Pfizer Scientist Says The Company Is Looking Into Myocarditis From The Shots

Myocarditis has been one of the sticking points for “anti-vaxxers”. When it comes to health and safety, the heart should not be on line.

But even those who have taken the shots are now noticing that they may not have been as safe as originally indicated. In May 2021, around the same time Pfizer’s COVID-19 shot was authorized for young teenagers, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) vaccine safety group said it was reviewing reports of heart inflammation in young people.

Others claim that the ruling class did not pressure the FDA to approve the COVID injections and that there was no wrongdoing.

FDA Set to Give COVID Vaccines Serious ‘Black Box’ Designation: Report

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is reportedly preparing to place a serious “black box” warning on COVID-19 vaccines, according to a CNN report citing people familiar with the agency’s plans.

A black box warning is the most serious safety designation the FDA can require — appearing in bold at the top of a drug or vaccine’s prescribing information to alert doctors and patients to potentially serious risks.

According to CNN, the FDA’s proposed action would highlight major risks such as serious side effects and usage restrictions that should be weighed against benefits before administering the shots.

The report says two people familiar with the agency’s internal planning confirmed the intention to add the warning, though the plan has not yet been finalized and could change before it is publicly announced.

Dr. Vinay Prasad, the FDA’s chief medical and scientific officer and head of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, is said to be leading the review of the COVID vaccine warning label.

CNN’s account indicates that officials are still determining whether the black box warning would apply to all COVID vaccines, only mRNA-based shots from manufacturers like Pfizer and Moderna, or specific age groups.

The warning is expected to be unveiled before the end of 2025, though agency officials have not publicly confirmed plans.

Black box warnings are typically reserved for medicines with evidence of serious or potentially life-threatening adverse reactions that must be clearly communicated to providers and patients.

Covid Porn Is Back

The tireless hacks at the BBC have emerged from their bunkers once again to terrorise the public by bravely touring the hospitals and whipping up hysteria about the latest outbreak of flu. It seems “literally hundreds” of patients have been bombarding A&E departments, according to Health Editor Hugh Pym and Chloe Hayward who have been courageously touring the front line:

As one patient leaves his room at Leicester Royal Infirmary’s acute unit, cleaning staff are waiting outside.

He is barely out of the room before the bed is stripped and bleach is sprayed. The next patient is already waiting to come in.

Over two days the BBC was given access to the hospital to witness first-hand how it is coping with an early surge of winter bug cases.

Flu season has hit a month earlier than normal this year, with experts warning there appears to be a more severe strain of the virus – mutated H3N2 – circulating.

Hospitals around the country, like this one in Leicester, are doing all they can to avoid becoming completely overwhelmed.

“Completely overwhelmed.” Sounds familiar?

They’re at the Royal Infirmary in Leicester, and after citing some choice case studies, miss no opportunity to make it sound like the end of the world is imminent:

“There are patients in every cubicle,” Consultant Saad Jawaid says, as Paige is wheeled in. “Another ambulance has just rocked up.”

We watch as he works with colleagues in the resus unit to find desperately needed bed spaces.

“When beds are full we have to move people – sometimes that means those who can sit are moved out of beds and into chairs,” he says.

Regardless of the situation in the hospital and the range of conditions people are turning up with, on closer examination it things aren’t quite as bad as the story’s florid copy suggests:

Richard Mitchell has been the Chief Executive of University Hospitals Leicester NHS Trust since 2021 – and has witnessed first-hand how it gets harder to cope with each winter that passes.

”We are already seeing very high levels of flu,” he tells us. He expects numbers to climb into January. “That is one of the many things I am concerned about at the moment.

“At this point I feel we are working at the limits of our ability.”

What exactly was he expecting? An idle coast through to April before going on a well-unearned summer break? It raises the interesting question of what people who work for the NHS think they are likely to be confronted with in 21st century Britain.

The Pandemic Revealed the Most Cowardly Society of All Time

In terms of importance, the Covid-19 pandemic was the biggest event in human history since World War II. Since that time, nothing has caused as much fear across the entire planet as what began in 2020. Because of the widespread terror, with lockdowns we reached the point of completely stopping the world, something that had never happened before in history. As proof, we were left with the frightening and dystopian photos of huge empty metropolises and airplanes parked on the runways of airports.

During the Cold War, with the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, when the Soviet Union brought nuclear missiles to Cuba, there was a lot of fear. Some families in the US and Europe even built survival bunkers in their homes. But that didn’t even come close to the worldwide scale of the terror caused by Covid-19.

However, the fear caused by the Cold War—that feeling that the world could end in nuclear explosions at any moment—even though it was more localized and lasted for a shorter time, quickly gave rise, as a positive side, to a formidable culture: the Beatles, revolutionizing music and interpreting the world, emerged from that. 

The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd came from that fear. At the same time, the miniskirt was invented, the contraceptive pill appeared, and sexual freedoms were conquered. In 1968, known as “the year that never ended,” young people all over the world wanted to be protagonists and took to the streets of cities on every continent. The hippie movement, of peace and love, arose from that brew.

I understand it was a process of liberation, in which the planet’s youth buried that well-fed fear of nuclear war. Everyone was thinking and expressing a loud and revolutionary “We want to live.”

Covid Affected the Elderly Much More

For you to keep reading this article, you need to agree with me on one single point. You need to agree that Covid-19 is a disease that affects the elderly much more than young people and children. After all, the elderly have far more comorbidities, accumulated over a lifetime, than the young. This is extremely basic, and I’m not even going to link to scientific studies that prove this fact.

Sales Strategy

“You vaccinate not only for yourself. You vaccinate also to protect society and particularly to protect those that you love the most,” declared Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer, at the 2022 World Economic Forum meeting. That was the main message around the entire world. In Brazil, for example, on every television program the message was identical: “The vaccine protects both you and the people around you,” stated epidemiologist Pedro Hallal, rector of the Federal University of Pelotas, on TV Globo—Brazil’s biggest network—also in early 2022.

What few people know is that this message had been previously studied and tested. Before rolling out the vaccines, Yale scientists conducted research to find out which messages would be most effective in getting people to comply. “It is even more effective to add language that frames vaccine uptake as a way to protect others,” the scientists concluded in the study.

In other words, the entire tone of the vaccination campaign became “Protect grandma.” From that point on, with the widely publicized idea that the Covid-19 vaccines were a social pact, politicians in various parts of the world implemented health passes and, in some cases, made vaccination mandatory for everyone—including children and babies.

Children’s Health Defense Files CITIZEN PETITION Urging FDA to Revoke COVID Vaccine Licenses After Evidence Agency Violated Its Own Approval Rules — Here’s How Americans Can Submit Comments

Children’s Health Defense (CHD) has filed a sweeping Citizen Petition demanding that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) immediately revoke the biologics licenses for all Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines — Comirnaty, Spikevax, and their licensed analogues.

CHD alleges that the Biden-era FDA broke its own laws, bypassed mandatory safeguards, ignored manufacturing violations, and labeled experimental EUA products as “fully licensed vaccines” without the clinical, manufacturing, and regulatory compliance required under federal law.

According to CHD, the public, including doctors, nurses, parents, service members, and anyone affected by the mandates, may now submit comments directly to the FDA docket and demand the agency follow the law.

This petition could become the most consequential public challenge to COVID-19 vaccine licensure since 2020.
