Rand Paul Says Fauci Could Be Responsible for Entire Pandemic: ‘He Can’t Escape This, He Did the Funding’

Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky suggested that White House medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci might have helped fund the COVID-19 pandemic by bankrolling China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, which some scientists say is the likely source of the virus.

“Ultimately, here’s the rub. I don’t know whether it came from the lab. Nobody knows whether it came from the lab,” Paul, a physician, said Tuesday on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends.” “But who would be culpable? Dr. Fauci could be culpable for the entire pandemic.”

Communist Canada: Media & Politicians Celebrate Anti-Israel Protest, Trash Covid Freedom Rally

A Freedom demonstration in Ottawa, Canada dwarfed an anti-Israel protest over the weekend. Both were a part of global demos worldwide, but that is where their similarities end.

RAIR Foundation USA was at both the communist-supported protest, as well as the media-suppressed Worldwide Demonstration over the weekend. At one point, the larger rally marched past the antisemitic protest, as captured by RAIR.

‘Significant’ mail declines, high costs plague Canada Post’s bottom line

Despite record domestic parcel growth, Canada Post cited “significant mail declines and high COVID-19 related costs” as the reasons behind last year’s $779 million before-tax loss.

In last year’s third quarter, the postal service had reported a year-to-date $709 million loss. Now, in its 2020 financial report, Canada Post is reporting a nearly $780 million overall loss for last year – a fivefold increase from 2019’s $153 million loss. Although parcels revenue grew by 25 per cent compared to 2019, direct marketing – once a mainstay of Canada Post’s bottom line – followed a similar trajectory to transaction mail, mostly comprised of letters, bills and statements.

The COVID-19 Test No One Is Talking About: Make Sure Your Children Have It Before They Are Vaccinated

We are already seeing colleges and universities requiring the COVID-19 vaccine for students to attend classes in the fall. The vaccine is being tested for children under 16, and there may be school districts that attempt to require it in the fall. All of this pressure to vaccinate the young, given their relative resilience to severe disease and near-zero fatality rate from COVID-19, is unprecedented. The health bureaucracy is not nearly as insistent about the flu vaccine, even though it often makes children much sicker and often carries higher fatality rates in children.

Natural Virus or Lab Experiment Gone Wrong?

Nicholas Wade has been writing important science journalism for decades. I’ve blogged about one of his books, Betrayers of the Truth: Fraud and Deceit in the Halls of Science, which was published back in 1982.

Two weeks ago, Wade penned a lengthy essay, Origin of Covid – Following the Clues. It also appears online under the title The origin of COVID: Did people or nature open Pandora’s box at Wuhan?

FUREY: Let’s face it, Ontario’s stay-at-home order is effectively over

There was one event in particular that I watched unfold over the weekend that signalled to me the death knell, in practical terms, of Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s controversial “stay-at-home” order.

Yes, there were a number of dead giveaways that highlighted just how many Ontarians weren’t following the rules as much as Ford, Dr. David Williams and Solicitor General Sylvia Jones would have liked.

‘Unjustified fears’: When COVID-19 anxiety stops making sense

Polls keep showing that the public believes COVID-19 disease is way deadlier and more pervasive than it really is

The COVID-19 variants, it was roundly said, were attacking the bodies of young people with unprecedented ferocity.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that the U.K. variant had been “proven to be more dangerous in children and young people.” Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe just this week said that the variants are “shown to be more dangerous to young people.”
