“China eats weird animals disease”

In the past few weeks, a series of analyses published by highly respected researchers have exposed a truth about public health officials during COVID:

Much of the time, they were wrong.

To be clear, public health officials were not wrong for making recommendations based on what was known at the time.

That’s understandable. You go with the data you have.

The time has come for yet another media reckoning. The U.S. Department of Energy has assessed that the Covid-19 pandemic most likely originated from a laboratory leak, according to a new Wall Street Journal report that offers the latest piece of evidence that the media were wrong to roundly dismiss the theory as a conspiracy for much of the last three years.

Scandalized critics are branding him an ‘anti-vaxxer’

In 2022’s Triangle of Sadness, the first English language film from Force Majeure director Ruben Östlund, Woody Harrelson plays an addled Marxist captain of the Cristina O — in real life, the former yacht of the Onassis family, in the movie a doomed cruise vessel for the ludicrously rich. Harrelson is a jaded observer and capitalist critic who despises his passengers, choosing to order a cheeseburger and fries when others dine on oysters and caviar. He reads passages from Noam Chomsky into the microphone as the wealthy devolve into a roiling pile of puke and shit: “There are very few that are gonna look in the mirror and say, ‘the person I see is a savage monster.’ Instead, they make up some construction that justifies what they do.”

The Wall Street Journal reports that the Energy Department has concluded that the COVID pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak.

The conclusion is reportedly based on a classified intelligence report recently provided to the White House and key members of Congress. Many will be exploring why the scientific evidence of a lab leak was so slow to emerge from intelligence agencies.

However, for my part, the most alarming aspect was the censorship, not the science.

IN TCW on Friday Rupert Lowe, the former Brexit Party MEP and ex-chairman of Southampton Football Club, argued for the public right to know the truth about the Covid vaccines and that Parliament, rather than denying and vilifying Andrew Bridgen, should be leading the way in uncovering it. 

His call chimed with two senior American scientists’ case for a Covid Truth Commission published on Tuesday in the New York Post. Like Lowe, Professor Martin Kulldorff and Professor Jay Bhattacharya believe the public deserve an awful lot better. Kulldorff is a professor of medicine at Harvard University (on leave) and Bhattacharya is a professor of health policy at Stanford University School of Medicine. Co-authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, both are founding fellows of the Academy for Science and Freedom, a Hillsdale College initiative to restore integrity and trust in science and public health. Both were mainstream but treated with scant regard by politicians; both have been subject to demonisation and silencing. Both were placed on Twitter ‘trends blacklists’, guaranteeing that few would hear their message when the government got the science wrong. Now they are speaking out again …

WASHINGTON—The U.S. Energy Department has concluded that the Covid pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak, according to a classified intelligence report recently provided to the White House and key members of Congress.

The shift by the Energy Department, which previously was undecided on how the virus emerged, is noted in an update to a 2021 document by Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines’s office.

Another ‘conspiracy theory” bites the dust.

The most rigorous and comprehensive analysis of scientific studies conducted on the efficacy of masks for reducing the spread of respiratory illnesses — including Covid-19 — was published late last month. Its conclusions, said Tom Jefferson, the Oxford epidemiologist who is its lead author, were unambiguous.

“There is just no evidence that they” — masks — “make any difference,” he told the journalist Maryanne Demasi. “Full stop.”

But, wait, hold on. What about N-95 masks, as opposed to lower-quality surgical or cloth masks?

“Makes no difference — none of it,” said Jefferson.

We now have the most authoritative estimate of the value provided by wearing masks during the pandemic: approximately zero. The most rigorous and extensive review of the scientific literature concludes that neither surgical masks nor N95 masks have been shown to make a difference in reducing the spread of Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses.

Among highly vaccinated Western nations, Germany is leading the pack in excess deaths according to available data with a 44 percent increase recorded in January.

Dr. John Campbell produced a video presenting the data from Germany and compared it with other nations that have also seen increases but not as high.

Campbell called it a “massive spike” and called it a “matter of massive concern.”

What a difference actual science makes, eh? “This is really good news,” says Dr. Christopher Murray, the senior study author of the meta-analysis of 65 studies in 19 countries. It’s also long-overdue news — and a rebuke to those who kept trying to shut down questions about naturally acquired immunity in a deluge of vaccination mandates.

WHAT if Dr Anthony Fauci co-authored an article on vaccines that would have got you and me blocked and banned at any point in the past three years? That’s just happened.

His article in Cell, ‘Rethinking next-generation vaccines for coronaviruses, influenzaviruses, and other respiratory viruses‘, states it as plainly as possible: the Covid-19 vaccine didn’t work because it couldn’t work.

First, some review from what we knew before this whole fiasco began.
