“China eats weird animals disease”

How many times have we been treated, in the era of the New Normal, to exasperated corporate media hacks complaining about “misinformation” pushed by “conspiracy theorists” regarding the COVID-19 mRNA gene therapies deceptively marketed as “vaccines”?

Ireland has seen a huge spike in excess mortality that rivals the peak of the pandemic — yet Covid-19 is no longer the primary cause of death, The Sunday Times can reveal.

Post-pandemic pressures on the HSE such as treatment backlogs and a wave of late diagnoses allied to the added pressures on the health system of a lingering “twindemic” of flu and Covid-19 all appear to be taking their toll.

The seven-day rolling average of deaths reported on January 9, 2023 was 152 — almost as high as the weekly average of 156 reported on January 29, 2021 — the peak of the disastrous third wave that triggered a six-month nationwide lockdown.

IN THE words of muckraker Upton Sinclair, ‘It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.’ Same may be said about the so-called ‘scientific community’ in their research enterprise on Covid-19. It is particularly so for anything relating to the novel mRNA vaccines, touted as safe and effective but transpiring to be neither.

We wrote recently in the Daily Sceptic about how the method which is central to the scientific publication process, far from being used to assure quality, is being used to maintain prevailing narrative. Peer review has prevented proper debate on Covid-19 by suppressing contrary evidence.

I recall the newsroom conversations during the dark days of the pandemic only too well. They were upsetting at the time. Now, as we see a disturbing rise in excess deaths across the country, the thought of them fills me with horror and outrage.

‘You do realise these lockdowns and restrictions will end up killing people too, don’t you?’ I would say to senior editorial colleagues with something approaching desperation in my voice. ‘Sure, the virus is a serious threat to a small proportion of the population but the longer-term consequences of shutting the economy down and closing off the NHS will be deadly for huge numbers who were never at serious risk from the virus, people with years of life ahead of them. Shouldn’t we be reflecting that in our coverage? Shouldn’t we be considering the possibility that the government is going down the wrong path on this?’

These were not gentle measures.

Religious persecution is on the rise. In much of the world, believing in something other than politics, or believing in the wrong something, leads to discrimination and ostracism at best and prison and death at worst. A recent report by the Pew Research Center has detailed how COVID restrictions became another weapon to attack people of faith.

A physician who has taken a publicly critical stance to pandemic measures such as COVID-19 vaccination was suspended by his college on Jan. 5.

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) suspended Dr. Chris Shoemaker through an interim order under the Regulated Health Professions Act.

Under the act and its Health Professions Procedural Code, the college can impose an interim suspension on a physician if it is “of the opinion the conduct of the member exposes or is likely to expose the member’s patients to harm or injury.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that a preliminary COVID-19 vaccine “safety signal” has been identified and is investigating whether the Bivalent Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine creates an increased risk of ischemic stroke in people 65 and older.

In the Friday statement, the CDC said that the preliminary signal hasn’t been identified with the Bivalent Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.

“Following the availability and use of the updated (bivalent) COVID-19 vaccines, CDC’s Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), a near real-time surveillance system, met the statistical criteria to prompt additional investigation into whether there was a safety concern for ischemic stroke in people ages 65 and older who received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, Bivalent,” the CDC said.

WHERE did the lab leak theory come from? Who first promoted the idea and why? The answer to this question is surprising, and may be the key to unlocking the mystery of the origin of Covid-19.

The first known mention of the idea that the coronavirus might have originated in a Chinese lab appeared on January 9 2020 in a report by Radio Free Asia (RFA). This was only days after the virus had first entered public consciousness. At the time no deaths had been reported and few people were worrying about the virus – including, it seems, the Chinese, who were claiming it wasn’t even clear whether it was spreading between humans.
