oh, mark - THIS VIDEO OF ROBERT KENNEDY JR. IS IS SO POWERFUL.

i'd invited him to talk at each harmony festival for many years (Main stage and eco stage) and i've lost touch since.
THIS IS UTTERLY RELEVANT.
WITH VACCINATION BEING TOUTED AS OUR SAVIUR,
WE MUST BE INFORMED BY *REAL* SCIENCE AND NOT THE MOUTHPIECE OF PHARMA, THE CDC, CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL - POSING AS A FEDERAL AGENCY.

WATCH THIS PLEASE. RFK'S COURAGE RUNS IN HIS FAMILY; THEY'VE BEEN KILLED FOR US, SO TODAY IS TRULY APPROPRIATE TO HONOR THEM.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!

LOVE, PEACE, FREEDOM, JUDE

Jude, you don't really believe this do you? I mean, even if it were remotely true, wouldn't the people who have supposedly released this on us on purpose have been a bit concerned about themselves and their own families catching it? After all, they haven't made the vaccine or 100% effective med. yet. Or do you think they have so they're using it on themselves and those close to them and sacrificing the rest of us for money? I'm really sorry to see someone like RFK Jr. out talking this nonsense. Stay well,

lilith,
you're asking me if i believe robert f. kennedy jr. in his life's research and work? versus the cdc? and pharma?
really? really?

have you watched this? if so, please watch it again. and the clip in link in mark's post below. then think about it for a while. then do your own research. spend hours or days or weeks or whatever you like to inform yourself. ALWAYS REMEMBER "FOLLOW THE MONEY". look for the powers behind the throne. two moves ahead in the game. etc. just because they didn't tell us, doesn't make it a conspiracy, or does it...

then write again. thanks, jude

p.s. yes, evil exists in the world. this is what is looks like.



Jude, you don't really believe this do you?...

RFK Jr has been denounced by his own family for these crackpot conspiracy theories which seem mostly to be about attracting the attention this man craves. Why buy into them? Take a look at the science and what diseases we have eradicated or controlled b/c of vaccines. Maybe even someday, COVID 19 which in the meantime might teach us that we are better off protecting ALL people. not just our middle class selves.

Yes, Lilith. They probably already do have a vaccine for the damned thing, for the simple reason that it was cooked up in a bio-weapons lab. The West (i.e., the Anglo-Amerikan power elite) are quite privy to the fabrication of "Covid-19." The game plan is to get the masses desperate & crying out for the CDC to come up with a vaccine to 'save' us.

“RFK Jr has been denounced by his own family for these crackpot conspiracy theories which seem mostly to be about attracting the attention this man craves...”

Maria, That does not mean - just because there are three of them & one of him - that he is wrong. Here is what they wrote: "We love Robert F. Kennedy Jr., but he is part of a misinformation campaign that’s having heartbreaking—and deadly—consequences...."

That is hardly the same as being "denounced by his own family for these crackpot conspiracy theories which seem mostly to be about attracting the attention this man craves...”

COVID-19 Meltdown and Pharma’s Big Money Win
(https://thevaccinereaction.org/2020/04/covid-19-meltdown-and-pharmas-big-money-win/)

Bill Gates Calls for 10 Week Nationwide Shutdown and
Certificates of Immunity Allowing Unrestricted Movement



In an OpEd in the Mar. 31 The Washington Post, Microsoft founder and philanthropist social reformer Bill Gates called for a nationwide federally enforced quarantine for all states that would last “10 weeks or more:

”Because people can travel freely across state lines, so can the virus. The country’s leaders need to be clear: Shutdown anywhere means shutdown everywhere. Until the case numbers start to go down across America—which could take 10 weeks or more—no one can continue business as usual or relax the shutdown."51 (https://thevaccinereaction.org/2020/04/covid-19-meltdown-and-pharmas-big-money-win/#_edn51) 52

(https://thevaccinereaction.org/2020/04/covid-19-meltdown-and-pharmas-big-money-win/#_edn52)Several days earlier in a TED interview, Gates talked about how the strict social distancing and quarantine measures in place in the U.S. are designed to prevent a majority of the U.S. population from being infected with and recovering from COVID-19, which confers natural immunity and contributes to herd immunity in human populations. He also stated there will be a need for people to have “certificates” that prove they have either recovered from the infection or have been vaccinated once a vaccine is produced. He said:53 (https://thevaccinereaction.org/2020/04/covid-19-meltdown-and-pharmas-big-money-win/#_edn53)

"Now we don’t want to have a lot of recovered people, you know. To be clear, we’re trying through the shutdown in the United States, to not get to one percent of the population infected. We’re well below that today, but with expotentiation you could get past that three million. I believe we will be able to avoid that with having this economic pain.

Eventually, what we’ll have to have is certificates of who is a recovered person, who’s a vaccinated person, because you don’t want people moving around the world where you’ll have some countries that won’t have it under control, sadly. You don’t want to completely block off the ability for people to go there and come back and move around..."


Fauci Agrees with Gates: COVID-19 Natural Herd Immunity Not Wanted



At a Apr. 6, White House briefing of the Coronavirus Task Force, Dr. Fauci confirmed that strict social distancing and quarantine measures are at least partially in place to prevent populations from developing natural herd immunity. He said:54 (https://thevaccinereaction.org/2020/04/covid-19-meltdown-and-pharmas-big-money-win/#_edn54)

"One issue that’s going to be important and it has to do with somewhat of a comparison, for example, with influenza. We go through multiple cycles of influenza [and] there’s always a degree of background immunity in a population. That will ultimately happen [with COVID-19] if we get a situation where we get back to normal. Now, I hope we don’t have so many people infected that we actually have that herd immunity, but I think it would have to be different than it is right now."

In an Apr. 9 interview on National Public Radio (NPR), Bill Gates returned to the message that some “social distancing” measures have to stay in place “until we get a vaccine that almost everybody’s had.” He said:

"What I’m saying, what Dr. [Anthony] Fauci is saying, what some other experts are saying, there’s a great deal of consistency. We’re not sure yet which activities should be resumed, because until we get a vaccine that almost everybody’s had, the risk of a rebound will be there. … As we follow the numbers into May and see if we can get them down to a very low level, then in parallel, this debate about which things have benefits to society and can be formatted so the infection risk is very low, which things should we resume? I do think manufacturing, construction, a lot of things we’ll do, but large public gatherings may have to wait until we have that vaccine."

I agree with Fauci, we can't abide by the millions of deaths that would occur in the process of gaining "Natural Herd Immunity."

Amen! It would be suicide to end the orders that require physical distancing prematurely, before the disease is contained and controlled. We are fortunate in Sonoma County. COVID-19 has had relatively little effect here for two reasons:

(1) We have low population density;
(2) Only a small number of travelers carrying the disease brought the virus here.

Yet even in Sonoma County, the graph of active cases on the county's "dashboard" demonstrates how effectively physical distancing has reduced contagion: The number of active cases has remained flat since April 7. The steep increase in active cases began flattening on April 2.I will leave predictions to those who are more knowledgeable or more reckless. However, even thousands of additional deaths would be morally repugnant.

I agree with Fauci, we can't abide by the millions of deaths that would occur in the process of gaining "Natural Herd Immunity".

Yes, I do think Fauci has the best interests of mankind in his heart. Yes, we should wait for a vaccine (the alternative being?), and I think it would be best if a sufficient percentage of people were vaccinated to keep the outbreak under control. However I don't think people should be vaccinated against their will.

Well, Barry, We do agree then that people should not be vaccinated against their will. And I would not quibble about the "right" of anyone to be vaccinated if that is what they personally choose to do. I just would not advise it. -And I do not choose to be vaccinated myself - on general principals.

As far as the alternatives - they have been enumerated enough here in this forum, on various threads. The gist of it is build up one's auto-immunity system and ingest herbs and vitamins that help boost the immune system. Prayer is an alternative - drawing near to the One who Creates us, and Renews the face of the earth.

Electro-therapy is an alternative - the benefits of nine volts of direct current passing through one's heart and lungs... Gargling with Baking Soda in filtered or colloidal water is an "alternative" means of dealing with the Plague. It worked in 1919... I could go on...

But I do not trust Anthony Fauci or Bill Gates as far as I can throw them - also, on general principals. They are both quite obviously the sort of billionaire who only care about money & power. Their ostentatious altruistic pretensions are a sham. Nor do I even trust a man like bland, talking head eco-hangout bat-dung Dr PeterDaszak -based on my own, personal, God-gifted gut discernment of who he actually is - in real time, behind that bland mask of his.

EXCLUSIVE: Robert F Kennedy Jr. Drops Bombshells on Dr. Fauci
For Medical Cover Ups and Fraud;
Fauci “Poisoned an Entire Generation of Americans
(https://truepundit.com/exclusive-robert-f-kennedy-jr-drops-bombshells-on-dr-fauci-for-medical-cover-ups-and-fraud-fauci-poisoned-an-entire-generation-of-americans/)From this link

(https://truepundit.com/exclusive-robert-f-kennedy-jr-drops-bombshells-on-dr-fauci-for-medical-cover-ups-and-fraud-fauci-poisoned-an-entire-generation-of-americans/)
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed disturbing information about Dr. Anthony Fauci’s medical career in the government, calling out the celebrated physician for a history of disturbing practices ranging from costly cover ups to outright fraud.

Kennedy repeatedly slammed Fauci on the Thomas Paine Podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-18-robert-bobby-kennedy-jr-joins-podcast-drops-absolute/id1491435111?i=1000471537466) on Wednesday, revealing disturbing information about Fauci’s problematic career steering key medical policy for the United States. Kennedy described Fauci as a workplace tyrant who has ruined careers of upstanding physicians and researchers in order to cover up scandals and costly medical research disasters at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases where Fauci has served as director since 1984 as part of the National Institute of Health.

“Tony Fauci didn’t want the American public to know that he has poisoned an entire generation of Americans,” Kennedy said, alleging Fauci targeted a whistleblower who was trying to uncover the blood supply in the country was tainted with deadly strains.

Kennedy said Fauci ruined the physician’s career and covered up the crucial research. And that was just one of Kennedy’s attacks against Fauci. There were more. Kennedy also targeted Bill Gates, Big Pharma, the media, and more in this exclusive interview. Listen at top of page.

Which of these "alternatives" do you think are so esoteric or precious that the poor "in famine-scorched or even developing countries" might not be able to access?



herbs and vitamins that boost the immune system..."
Prayer...drawing near to the One who Creates us..."

Electro-therapy...
Gargling with Baking Soda...
colloidal silver water...

None of these are expensive or rare commodities, nor are these things -whether tangible or spiritual- out of the means of poor people in the Global South - especially Prayer. Africa is a Faith Continent - And there are lots of good herbs that grow there, too.

But tell me why, gypsey, you personally are so keen on disparaging Old School Herbal, Homeopathic and Naturopathic Medicine? Why are yo so keen on lining up to get your shots? - And to nudge the hesitant among us to do likewise?

One more item, gypsey, as to why I distrust Anthony Fauci and William Gates the 3rd, "on general principals": - It is a kind of discernment of plutocrats and their wiles that comes along with my up-bringing and potty-training - and the fact that I had a little [5'2"] Jewish, socialist grandmother from Brooklyn who gave me a 'socialist catechism' beginning at the age of two.

-Whatever one may think of the word "socialism," I'll tell you one thing: the Class War is Real. Yes. You can take that home with you. You can 'bank' on it. -& The Gates Family are plutocrats. -This plague is one more manifestation of Class War. Indeed, it is the Final Conflict - and the ruling class have taken the offensive.

They actually call it the "Plan (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=+%22The+Plan%22+for+a+%22New+World+Order%22+&t=osx&ia=web)." In the short term they shall win. Yet, the Creator also has a 'Plan (https://biblehub.com/interlinear/revelation/17.htm)' -And, I hear the clear but far-off hymn that hails a New Creation (https://hymnary.org/text/my_life_flows_on_in_endless_song#authority_media_flexscores)...

One more item, gypsey, as to why I distrust Anthony Fauci and William Gates the 3rd, "on general principals": - It is a kind of discernment of plutocrats and their wiles that comes along with my up-bringing and potty-training - and the fact that I had a little [5'2"] Jewish, socialist grandmother from Brooklyn who gave me a 'socialist catechism' beginning at the age of two.
When I was in college, doing a report on Henry the VIII, I found an old book in the library. It was the oldest book I'd ever handled, hundreds of years old. I figured this would be a great source, and was pretty proud of using it. My professor pointed out otherwise. He reminded me that because it was that old, by definition there were newer sources that had taken its information into account, along with other different opinions, and come up with more nuanced and sophisticated analysis.

THANK YOU, MARK!!!
I watched the 9 minute youtube ( your bottom link ) and MUCH MADE SENSE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.

That the FDA was initially called THE DIVISION OF CHEMISTRY, THEN THE BUREAU OF CHEMISTRY BEFORE BEING RENAMED THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION - AHA, of course!

Why everything not a synthesized (PATENTED=PROFITABLE) chemical is disallowed... why FDA raids organic stores, raw milk, bitter almonds, herbs, supplements... of course. FOLLOW THE FRIGGIN MONEY, BIG, BIG MONEY.

Bill Gates and the Depopulation Agenda.
Robert F. Kennedy Junior Calls for an Investigation
By Peter Koenig (https://www.globalresearch.ca/author/peter-koenig)
Global Research, April 18, 2020


https://www.globalresearch.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Robert-Kennedy-Jr.-400x266.jpg


For over twenty years Bill Gates and his Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) have been vaccinating foremost children by the millions in remote areas of poor countries, mostly Africa and Asia. Most of their vaccination program had disastrous results, causing the very illness (polio, (https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-global-polio-eradication-initiative-new-technology-used-to-locate-children-for-polio-vaccinations/5325246) for example in India) and sterilizing young women (Kenya, with modified tetanus vaccines (https://www.globalresearch.ca/mass-sterilization-kenyan-doctors-find-anti-fertility-agent-un-tetanus-vaccine-2/5678295)). Many of the children died. Many of the programs were carried out with the backing of the WHO and – yes – the UN Agency responsible for the Protection of Children, UNICEF.

Most of these vaccination campaigns were implemented without the informed-consent of the children, parents, guardians or teachers, nor with the informed-consent, or with forged consent, of the respective government authorities. In the aftermath, The Gates Foundation was sued by governments around the world, Kenya, India, the Philippines – and more.
Bill Gates has a strange image of himself. He sees himself as The Messiah who saves the world through vaccination – and through population reduction.

Around the time, when the 2010 Rockefeller Repor (https://www.nommeraadio.ee/meedia/pdf/RRS/Rockefeller%20Foundation.pdf)t was issued, with its even more infamous “Lock Step” Scenario (https://www.nommeraadio.ee/meedia/pdf/RRS/Rockefeller%20Foundation.pdf), precisely the scenario of which we are living the beginning right now, Bill Gates talked on a TED show in California, “Innovating to Zero” about the use of energy.

He used this TED presentation to promote his vaccination programs, literally saying, “If we are doing a real good job vaccinating children, we can reduce the world population by 10% to 15%”. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaF-fq2Zn7I) .

This sounds very much like eugenics.

The video, the first 6’45”, “The Truth about Bill Gates and his Disastrous Vaccination Program”, will tell you all about it.

Yes, I do think Fauci has the best interests of mankind in his heart. Yes, we should wait for a vaccine (the alternative being?), and I think it would be best if a sufficient percentage of people were vaccinated to keep the outbreak under control. However I don't think people should be vaccinated against their will.

Dr. Fauci Backed Controversial Wuhan Lab with Millions of U.S. Dollars for Risky Coronavirus Research (https://www.newsweek.com/dr-fauci-backed-controversial-wuhan-lab-millions-us-dollars-risky-coronavirus-research-1500741)


By Fred Guterl (https://www.newsweek.com/authors/fred-guterl-0) <time datetime="2020-04-28T14:57:29-04:00" data-timestamp="1588100249"> On 4/28/20 at 2:57 PM EDT

</time>Dr. Anthony Fauci is an adviser to President Donald Trump and something of an American folk hero for his steady, calm leadership during the pandemic crisis. At least one poll shows that Americans trust Fauci more (https://www.newsweek.com/americans-trust-fauci-governors-over-trump-coronavirus-polls-show-1499807)than Trump on the coronavirus pandemic—and few scientists are portrayed on TV by Brad Pitt.

But just last year, the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the organization led by Dr. Fauci, funded scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and other institutions for work on gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses.

In 2019, with the backing of NIAID, the National Institutes of Health committed $3.7 million over six years for research that included some gain-of-function work. The program followed another $3.7 million, 5-year project for collecting and studying bat coronaviruses, which ended in 2019, bringing the total to $7.4 million.
Many scientists have criticized gain of function research, which involves manipulating viruses in the lab to explore their potential for infecting humans, because it creates a risk of starting a pandemic from accidental release.

SARS-CoV-2 , the virus now causing a global pandemic, is believed to have originated in bats. U.S. intelligence, after originally asserting that the coronavirus had occurred naturally, conceded last month that the pandemic may have originated in a leak from the Wuhan lab. (At this point most scientists say it's possible—but not likely—that the pandemic virus was engineered or manipulated.)

Barry and all: still "think Fauci has the best interests of mankind in his heart"?
Still ready to take his guidance? along with Gates'?
You're betting your life - literally - on their integrity, of which they have NONE.

oh, yeah: we're still in the "Conspiracy" category... does a Newsweek article qualify us to post in THE CORONA TRUTH CATEGORY yet? Or maybe we reconsider the actual meaning of, and aura around, "conspiracy" and agree that there are INDEED conspiracies, and those who find and make them known are to be thanked.

From James Corbett, here are a few potential upcoming scenarios to consider before they unfold:

"... Dr. Fauci did not respond to Newsweek's requests for comment. NIH responded with a statement that said in part: "Most emerging human viruses come from wildlife, and these represent a significant threat to public health and biosecurity in the US and globally, as demonstrated by the SARS epidemic of 2002-03, and the current COVID-19 pandemic.... scientific research indicates that there is no evidence that suggests the virus was created in a laboratory.”

The NIH research consisted of two parts. The first part (https://projectreporter.nih.gov/project_info_description.cfm?aid=8674931&icde=49750546) began in 2014 and involved surveillance of bat coronaviruses, and had a budget of $3.7 million. The program funded Shi Zheng-Li, a virologist at the Wuhan lab, and other researchers to investigate and catalogue bat coronaviruses in the wild. This part of the project was completed in 2019.

A second phase (https://projectreporter.nih.gov/project_info_description.cfm?aid=9819304&icde=49645421) of the project, beginning that year, included additional surveillance work but also gain-of-function research for the purpose of understanding how bat coronaviruses could mutate to attack humans. The project was run by EcoHealth Alliance, a non-profit research group, under the direction of President Peter Daszak (https://www.publichealth.columbia.edu/research/center-infection-and-immunity/peter-daszak-phd), an expert on disease ecology. NIH canceled the project just this past Friday, April 24th, Politico reported. Daszak did not immediately respond to Newsweek requests for comment..."


Please take note that in the Democracy Now Interview by Amy Goodman of Dr. Peter Daszak (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x_pIgvDLcg&feature=emb_logo) on April 16, 2020, Dr. Peter Daszak says, @ 4:40, "...I've been working in that lab for fifteen years..."

-Dr. Francis Boyle, however, @ 10:40, in this Interview with Dr. Joseph Mercolahttps://www.waccobb.net/forums/images/youtube.pnghttps://www.waccobb.net/forums/images/youtube.png (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=630&v=VVTbW47hPmo&feature=emb_logo), makes the point that the BSL-4 (Bio-weapons-4) lab in Wuhan China is a "specially designated W.H.O. Research Lab." Dr. Francis Boyle goes on to say that All of the the BSL-4 Labs all over the planet should be dismantled and that they are the continuation of " Nazi Science." =AND=@ 28:00, Boyle says '"...The Mainstream Media are not contradicting the Party-line coming out of the C.D.C., and the NIH. They are all in cahoots together with this Nazi Biological Warfare Work."

Take Note: There is massive cognitive dissonance between what these two men have said about the novel corona-virus, "COVID-19."

Dr. Francis Boyle drafted the Biological Weapons Anti- Terrorism Act (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dr+francis+boyle+bioweapons+act&t=osx&atb=v182-1&ia=web) (BWATA) of 1989 - and he declares that this virus is a Bio-weapon. Here at WaccoBB - as elsewhere on the internet - the testimony of Dr. Francis Boyle regarding Covid-19 has been shuffled off & categorized as a "conspiracy theory". I posted it in the civil "Coronavirus" category, but our moderator moved it into the "Coronavirus Conspiracy Theories" category.

-Whereas Dr. Peter Daszak -who in a moment of candor states that he has "worked at that lab (the Wuhan BSL-4 Lab (http://en.hubei.gov.cn/news/newslist/201502/t20150202_615586.shtml)) for fifteen years) glibly tells the liberal/left listeners of Amy Goodman that it is "Pure baloney" that the novel corona-virus is a bio-weapon. If Dr. Peter Daszak has actually done that, then he has worked at the BSL-4 Lab in Wuhan, China (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=bsl-4+lab+wuhan+china&t=osx&atb=v182-1&ia=news) for ten years longer than it is reputed to have actually been in existence. Taking his testimony on a line-item basis, I actually believe that point. It does indicate, however, that he is very, very well connected.

Who to believe? By all means, listen to both of these interviews. Meanwhile, I've got a Question:


"Who is Doctor Peter Daszak?"

I mean, besides his 'cover story' and
very impressive, fast-tracked resumé (https://www.mailman.columbia.edu/research/center-infection-and-immunity/peter-daszak-phd)

But I do think they think of themselves as fair, and they have much better reason to think that than someone like, say, Mercola and his acolytes who show no ability to challenge their own beliefs, ever.

And of course Bezos owns the WAPO, it's not hidden and the attempts he makes to distance himself are of course never going to be perfect. But I don't think there's any evidence that he treats it as a propaganda outlet, like Murdoch sort of does.

And again, there's nothing preventing people with any critical thinking skills at all from recognizing and accounting for their 'bias'. Those who earnestly proclaim their purity, their insight into the real facts, and the amazing clarity of their analysis of reality, are jokes and clowns with no self awareness at all.

Thank you for those links, wisewomn. I won't quibble about the sources. I opened them and I studied them. I made Word documents of the first two articles. There is some important data in the second of these two links. This one:


State Department cables warned of safety issues at Wuhan lab studying bat coronaviruses (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/04/14/state-department-cables-warned-safety-issues-wuhan-lab-studying-bat-coronaviruses/)
By Josh Rogin
April 14, 2020
(https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/josh-rogin/)
...from the article:


"...The Chinese researchers at WIV were receiving assistance from the Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch and other U.S. organizations, but the Chinese requested additional help. The cables argued that the United States should give the Wuhan lab further support, mainly because its research on bat coronaviruses was important but also dangerous.

As the cable noted, the U.S. visitors met with Shi Zhengli, the head of the research project, who had been publishing studies related to bat coronaviruses for many years (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-chinas-bat-woman-hunted-down-viruses-from-sars-to-the-new-coronavirus1/). In November 2017, just before the U.S. officials’ visit, Shi’s team had published research (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5708621/) showing that horseshoe bats they had collected from a cave in Yunnan province were very likely from the same bat population that spawned the SARS coronavirus in 2003...

“Most importantly,” the cable states, “the researchers also showed that various SARS-like coronaviruses can interact with ACE2, the human receptor identified for SARS-coronavirus. This finding strongly suggests that SARS-like coronaviruses from bats can be transmitted to humans to cause SARS-like diseases. From a public health perspective, this makes the continued surveillance of SARS-like coronaviruses in bats and study of the animal-human interface critical to future emerging coronavirus outbreak prediction and prevention.”

The research was designed to prevent the next SARS-like pandemic by anticipating how it might emerge. But even in 2015, other scientists questioned (https://www.nature.com/news/engineered-bat-virus-stirs-debate-over-risky-research-1.18787?WT.mc_id=TWT_NatureNews) whether Shi’s team was taking unnecessary risks. In October 2014, the U.S. government had imposed a moratorium (https://www.nature.com/news/us-suspends-risky-disease-research-1.16192) on funding of any research that makes a virus more deadly or contagious, known as “gain-of-function” experiments.

As many have pointed out (https://www.nature.com/news/engineered-bat-virus-stirs-debate-over-risky-research-1.18787), there is no evidence that the virus now plaguing the world was engineered; scientists largely agree it came from animals. But that is not the same as saying it didn’t come from the lab, which spent years testing bat coronaviruses in animals, said Xiao Qiang, a research scientist at the School of Information at the University of California at Berkeley.

“The cable tells us that there have long been concerns about the possibility of the threat to public health that came from this lab’s research, if it was not being adequately conducted and protected,” he said.

There are similar concerns about the nearby Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention lab, which operates at biosecurity level 2, a level significantly less secure than the level-4 standard claimed by the Wuhan Insititute of Virology lab, Xiao said. That’s important because the Chinese government still refuses to answer basic questions about the origin of the novel coronavirus while suppressing any attempts to examine whether either lab was involved.

Sources familiar with the cables said they were meant to sound an alarm about the grave safety concerns at the WIV lab, especially regarding its work with bat coronaviruses. The embassy officials were calling for more U.S. attention to this lab and more support for it, to help it fix its problems.

“The idea that it was just a totally natural occurrence is circumstantial. The evidence it leaked from the lab is circumstantial. Right now, the ledger on the side of it leaking from the lab is packed with bullet points and there’s almost nothing on the other side,” the official said.

As my colleague David Ignatius noted (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/how-did-covid-19-begin-its-initial-origin-story-is-shaky/2020/04/02/1475d488-7521-11ea-87da-77a8136c1a6d_story.html?tid=lk_inline_manual_31&itid=lk_inline_manual_31), the Chinese government’s original story — that the virus emerged from a seafood market in Wuhan — is shaky. Research by Chinese experts published in the Lancet (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30183-5/fulltext#bib35) in January showed the first known patient, identified on Dec. 1, had no connection to the market, nor did more than one-third of the cases in the first large cluster. Also, the market didn’t sell bats.

Shi and other WIV researchers (https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1179908.shtml) have categorically denied (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-chinas-bat-woman-hunted-down-viruses-from-sars-to-the-new-coronavirus1/) this lab was the origin for the novel coronavirus. On Feb. 3, her team was the first to publicly report (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2012-7) the virus known as 2019-nCoV was a bat-derived coronavirus...

...The origin story is not just about blame. It’s crucial to understanding how the novel coronavirus pandemic started because that informs how to prevent the next one. The Chinese government must be transparent and answer the questions about the Wuhan labs because they are vital to our scientific understanding of the virus, said Xiao.

We don’t know whether the novel coronavirus originated in the Wuhan lab, but the cable pointed to the danger there and increases the impetus to find out, he said.

“I don’t think it’s a conspiracy theory. I think it’s a legitimate question that needs to be investigated and answered,” he said. “To understand exactly how this originated is critical knowledge for preventing this from happening in the future.”

Get that?


Let me connect the dots: Under the "second phase" of the research that the NIH was funding, beginning in 2019, at the BSL-4 Lab in Wuhan, China - the "research" that Dr Anthony Fauci was funding, according to the article in Newsweek (https://www.newsweek.com/dr-fauci-backed-controversial-wuhan-lab-millions-us-dollars-risky-coronavirus-research-1500741) - a certain Dr. Peter Daszak of "Eco-Health Alliance" was doing "gain-of-function (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=gain+of+function+research+coronavirus&t=osx&ia=news)" research on bat coronaviruses -at the BSL-4 Laboratory in Wuhan, China.

Listen to what Dr. Francis A. Boyle (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=professor+dr.+francis+a.+boyle&t=osx&atb=v182-1&ia=web) has to say about the nature and purpose of the work that BSL-4 Labs do - those that do "gain-of-function (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22dr+francis+boyle%22+%2C+%22gain+of+function%22+%2C+coronavirus&t=osx&ia=web)" research on deadly viruses :

i'll belabor this point yet again. If you think they're biased but you have some other source in mind that you think is not, you're badly mistaken. NPR is pretty mainstream. Corporations find it fairly unthreatening. So, yeah, don't expect fire-breathing lefty rhetoric from them. But I do think they think of themselves as fair, and they have much better reason to think that than someone like, say, Mercola and his acolytes who show no ability to challenge their own beliefs, ever...


..."...Mercola and his acolytes..." Really, podfish? That is how you dismiss Dr. Francis Boyle (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dr.+francis+boyle+biowarfare&t=osx&ia=web)? I have to say, I never heard about the man prior to listening to Melissa Sophia Joy's podcast (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/showthread.php?133456-Coronavirus-Step-through-the-Portal-From-Shadow-to-Light&p=233524#post233524) about her experience with Covid-19. -And I never heard a bout Dr. Joseph Mercola, either, prior to listening to his Interview of Dr. Francis Boyle.

But since having done so, I could hardly dismiss Dr. Francis Boyle as an "acolyte" of Dr. Joseph Mercola. Ce n'est pas le mot juste. It ain't the right word, Peter. Go back and do your homework, kid. I would say that you are talking through your hat. As I wrote: "Dr. Francis Boyle drafted the Biological Weapons Anti- Terrorism Act (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dr+francis+boyle+bioweapons+act&t=osx&atb=v182-1&ia=web) (BWATA) of 1989 - ipso, ergo, he ain't no "acolyte" - and he declares that this virus is a Bio-weapon. Got that?

Did you see what I wrote about the cognitive dissonance between the words of Dr. Peter Daszak & Dr. Francis Boyle, Peter? - Because there is a great Gulf there - and they that are on one side can not cross over to the other. Truth be told, I think the "liberal / left" folks are being bamboozled by the likes of Daszak, Fauci & Gates. Ironically, Dr. Francis Boyle is pretty radical. Check him out.

After you have watched the two men talk, can you comment on the discrepancy between the accounts of these two men? I would like to have a serious discussion with you about that, Peter.

I did some of my own 'homework', I admit it was low in sources I investigated, brief and not totally complete.t.

That being said; from what I have found so far, Dr. Francis Boyle is not a medical doctor. Dr. Francis Boyle is a lawyer that has a Juris Doctor (https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Juris+doctorate) degree (J.D. or JD), also known as the Doctor of Jurisprudence degree (J.D., JD, D.Jur. or DJur), is a graduate-entry professional degree in law, which, is a requirement in most states in US to become a lawyer.

IMO, Dr. Francis Boyle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Boyle) has strong opinions that he expresses with 'legalese' language. Dr. Francis Boyle's opinion on Covid-19 is not that of a virologist or anything of the sort so far as I can find... ...Therefore his opinion is closer to a lawyer who is supporting a particular opinion that is inherently biased.

There are allot of things that can and do appear to be a certain way on the surface when being 'viewed' from one angle or position.

Lawyers need to have there mind made up, in order to, in good-faith, represent one side or the other.

Scientists who study and investigate complicated things that have to do with known unknowns (https://academic.oup.com/jxb/article/60/3/712/453685) that are complex and involve different types of specific areas of expertise to even get to a point where something someone says is fact for it to be accepted as fact, 'for the time-being' anyway, depending on the known unknowns etc.

Furthermore, the knowledge-base around complex things like Coved-19 etc. are based on many scientists involved who work on it to understand it better. They are limited to using currently known science to either prove or disprove a particular claim.... ...Yes there are 'new' discoveries' that arise and when they do, the knowledge changes and can either help to prove or disprove a 'particular claim' or even come up with new claim/s which may further need for testing in a particular field of science or another.

Dr. Francis Boyle may well have already made up his mind on what he claims is 'fact' about Covid-19. I think he did.

:2cents: It boils-down to the reality that his claims are his opinion as a lawyer not a viral biologist who specializes in the specific disciplines of the pathology and genealogy of viruses etc., his claim is coming from the angle that is a lawyer's viewpoint and as such, is not proven nor even claimed by those who are in the scientific field of such research... ...(and)...
...Therefore; I am not convinced that Covid-19 is, as Dr Boil claims: "is" a "Bio-Weapon"....

...Do I think that it is possible that that Covid-19 could at all have been 'designed' with the intent to be used as a "Bio-Weapon"?... ...I suppose it could be 'possible', but don't think it was...
...In the future, will it be 'proven' to have been 'designed' with the intent to be used as a "Bio-Weapon"?...
...I am saying what I am (saying) because there is allot I don't know, therefore, I think it could be possible that it could....
...There is too much evidence shown that suggests that it was not 'designed' in a lab....
...Could it have 'escaped' from a lab?... ...I think it could have and I would not be surprised if it did.
Do I think it was being studied for the purpose of developing into a 'bio-weapon"?... ...Not enough data to support that and there will most likely never be enough good data available to prove it even if it was.:2cents:

Do I think someone in the world in the future could possibly make Covid-19 into or develop a hybrid of it or other pathogens and use as a "Bio-Weapon"? Unfortunately, it is clearly 'possible'.

Re:
"Dr. Francis Boyle as an "acolyte" of Dr. Joseph Mercola.

I am not going there, it would be a waste of my energy and time.

Re:
"Dr. Francis Boyle is pretty radical. Check him out...."

Yes he sure is... ...However...
...Just because someone is 'radical' and labeled "radical left" or "extremist left" for that matter, does not mean 'progressive' left would/should take everything he says as the gospel-truth or beyond question as 'factual'.



...I have to say, I never heard about the man prior to listening to Melissa Sophia Joy's podcast (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/showthread.php?133456-Coronavirus-Step-through-the-Portal-From-Shadow-to-Light&p=233524#post233524) about her experience with Covid-19. -And I never heard a bout Dr. Joseph Mercola, either, prior to listening to his Interview of Dr. Francis Boyle. ...

..."Dr. Francis Boyle drafted the Biological Weapons Anti- Terrorism Act (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dr+francis+boyle+bioweapons+act&t=osx&atb=v182-1&ia=web) (BWATA) of 1989 - ipso, ergo, he ain't no "acolyte" - and he declares that this virus is a Bio-weapon. Got that?

Did you see what I wrote about the cognitive dissonance between the words of Dr. Peter Daszak & Dr. Francis Boyle, Peter? - Because there is a great Gulf there - and they that are on one side can not cross over to the other. Truth be told, I think the "liberal / left" folks are being bamboozled by the likes of Daszak, Fauci & Gates. Ironically, Dr. Francis Boyle is pretty radical. Check him out....

Thank you for doing some homework, Hotspring44. That's what i like to see - even if it turns up contrary emotions or feelings. Would that all of you west county waccobbians would be so diligent and care enough to do your homework.

When it comes to examining the career and many accomplishments of Dr. Francis Boyle, i am a newbie. He is my age (actually I am three months older) and he has accomplished a lot. He has three degrees, Hotspring, besides the Law degree you cited. He has an M.A. and a Ph.D. in Political Science from Harvard. That is how he can sport the title, "Doctor." Capische? You put a spin on it to make it sound as if he is some poseur.

Anyway, I'll keep this brief. When I was listening to - and most importantly, watching - Dr. Peter Daszak (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x_pIgvDLcg) on the interview by Amy Goodman on Democracy Now ! I found myself in the presence of a villain. - A lying, murdering hypocrite who sold his soul long ago for silver and gain. A practiced liar. A disinformation 'eco-cover' agent for Prince Philip's genocidal front, the "World Wildlife Fund."

The fact that Dr. Daszak has been the head of the "Wildlife Trust" in England makes this very plausible. There's also this: The Wildlife Trust's "Population Resources Consumption Statement (https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/sites/default/files/2018-11/TWT%20Population%20Resources%20Consumption%20Statement%20FINAL%201%2008-13.pdf)"- which is about as 'deep' a deep ecological position paper on depopulation - as ever was written.

Yes these folks - of whom Dr. Daszak is chief - believe in helping Mother Nature along on her relentless scheme of avenging Herself on the superfluous humans. Whatever it takes - lying, scheming, slandering, working in dangerous bio-weapons labs on deadly viruses with "some of the best scientists in the world"... Whatever...

-Whereas, When I see ol' "Dr." Francis Boyle with his Greek Mariners cap in his study in Urbana, Illinois, and I hear him ramble on, I see myself with a haircut; myself if I had not been subjected to 800 mili-grams of stelazine + hundreds of miligrams of thorazine & prolixin a day for a period of three months when I was seventeen. I see someone who is credible and earnest and extremely well-informed - and not "practiced in the Arts of deception" - which is how I see "Dr." Daszak.

You makes your choices and you takes the consequences...

Re:

That is how he can sport the title, "Doctor." Capische? [/I]You put a spin on it to make it sound as if he is some poseur.
I get it, he has high education and possesses more than enough degrees to use Dr in his title.
It was never in my mind to doubt that and I do not know enough about him to judge him as a "poser" or someone who is 'lying'; IE: a person has to either truly believe what they are saying, fooling themselves into believing the 'lie' or actually consciously know they are lying for it to be an actual lie.
Anyway, what I did mention previously is that none of the degrees sited are in the field of things closely related to virology etc..

There is an art to reading between the lines; which so many people in general are so uneducated on and just plane not good at, particularly in law and today's media spinning of politics.
Obviously Dr Boyle is, very educated and smart in his field of expertise. There is no argument from me in that regard.

I still believe that people who specialize in the fields of virology and viral pathology etc. are better educated in those fields than Dr Boyle regarding the origins and pathology of COVID-19. What they do with that knowledge is another thing.

There are undoubtedly Top Secret bio-laboratories that exist here in US and abroad that do study in the realm of potential 'bio-weaponry', or at least the particulars of exactly what they are doing in those labs that are 'known'.

I am reasonably sure that Dr Boyle does not have access to any actual 'Top Secret' information regarding COVED-19. Even if he did, he is not likely to be able to know what the scientific terminologies in the notes and journals all mean and what relevance it may or may not have, at least not without some help from someone who does understand all the up to date science in the particular fields necessary to do a scientific analysis and be able to make a definitive conclusion regarding 'bio-weaponry'.

To reiterate, Dr Boyle has made his 'analysis' based on using what he does know and believes he knows.

Anyway, I'll keep this brief. When I was listening to - and most importantly, watching - Dr. Peter Daszak (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x_pIgvDLcg) on the interview by Amy Goodman on Democracy Now ! I found myself in the presence of a villain. - A lying, murdering hypocrite who sold his soul long ago for silver and gain. A practiced liar. A disinformation 'eco-cover' agent for Prince Philip's genocidal front, the "World Wildlife Fund."
Mayacaman, after looking up Dr Peter Daszak, I understand why you don't trust Dr Peter Daszak's word about the lab in Wuhan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuhan_Institute_of_Virology) China.
I have some suspicion about the accuracy and possibly the truthfulness of his statement because it is so absolute yet stark:
Quotation from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Daszak#Interviews):
"In April 2020, during the public controversy about the origins of the coronavirus which has caused the COVID-19 pandemic, Daszak appeared on an internet news program, Democracy Now!, to refute the idea that the virus was the result of a laboratory accident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology":

"I’ve been working with that lab for 15 years. And the samples collected were collected by me and others in collaboration with our Chinese colleagues. They’re some of the best scientists in the world. There was no viral isolate in the lab. There was no cultured virus that’s anything related to SARS-coronavirus-2. So it’s just not possible.[13] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Daszak#cite_note-13)"

Then there are the unknown unknowns and the known unknowns; whereas, Dr Peter Daszak could not have known the, to him, unknown unknowns... ...Will he admit about not considering unknown unknowns in the future?... ...I don't think anyone has an answer to that.

There has been no significant proof presented as of me writing this that Dr Peter Daszak knew of any experiments that could have been done with any of the materials that the 'others' 'collected' that he worked with that outside of his workings there.
Just because Dr Peter Daszak does not know of any does not necessarily mean that it either did not or was not happen there at some point in time before the outbreak.

I analyze this like a suspicious person; say a maybe a (wannabe) lawyer.
I can deduce that Dr Peter Daszak's wording sounds like he is covering himself for something that has the potential complicate his life in future...
..."I’ve been working with that lab for 15 years."....
...Is something that is beyond doubt...

...And the samples collected were collected by me and others in collaboration with our Chinese colleagues."...
Note the "and others" gives him a potential out.... ...Was he keeping track of everything going on with those samples 24/7, or something to the scientific equivalent?... ...I certainly can't answer that one and I am sure that Dr Boyle can't answer it definitively either.

..."They’re some of the best scientists in the world."...
...Something else that is in all likelihood, beyond doubt...

..."There was no viral isolate in the lab. There was no cultured virus that’s anything related to SARS-coronavirus-2. So it’s just not possible.[13] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Daszak#cite_note-13)"


The 'was no' is likely to be, to Dr Peter Daszak, in his statement, is what I would consider a 'known known'.
On the other hand, the 'it's just not possible' part of the statement could, would, may, and/or suggest that there is or could be an 'unknown unknown' lurking around Dr Peter Daszak.
The issue presented is weather he was/is lying.

As far as I know, at this point in time, there is no proof-positive that Dr Peter Daszak knew of SARS-coronavirus-2 related research in the areas at the time he was working with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.



The fact that Dr. Daszak has been the head of the "Wildlife Trust" in England makes this very plausible. There's also this: The Wildlife Trust's"Population Resources Consumption Statement (https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/sites/default/files/2018-11/TWT%20Population%20Resources%20Consumption%20Statement%20FINAL%201%2008-13.pdf)"- which is about as 'deep' a deep ecological position paper on depopulation- as ever was written.
Conjecture.


Yes these folks - of whom Dr. Daszak is chief - believe in helping Mother Nature along on her relentless scheme of avenging Herself on the superfluous humans. Whatever it takes - lying, scheming, slandering, working in dangerous bio-weapons labs on deadly viruses with "some of the best scientists in the world"... Whatever...
Opinion; which I haven't the knowledge to agree or disagree with at this time.


I see someone who is credible and earnest and extremely well-informed - and not "practiced in the Arts of deception" - which is how I see "Dr." Daszak.
OK, I get that too. I am thinking that you may have juxtaposed what I said regarding Dr Boyle being a lawyer and not a virologist etc. and him seeing things through that perspective as being some sort of a dig on his intellect on my part. That is not what I intended at all. I was stating facts as I know them to express as best I can how I process what I do know on the topic and the why-for that I say what I said.

Once Again, Hotspring44, I really appreciate your taking the time to do some reading and some study and to take the further time to write a thoughtful answer. This is the sort of conversation I consider worth my time. "cyberanvil" - and some more centrist and self-defined 'leftists' and 'greens’ in this forum are practiced in the art of the two-liner that says little but provokes much, and I appreciate the fact that you aren’t doing that. Still, I find I must take the trouble of criticizing you for having missed a point or two of what is already on our plate.

I have been away, working for my Zen buddy who lives on the high point of the road midway between Healdsburg and the Coast, and was away from the internet during the interval, hence the delay in my response. Speaking of Zen, I think we should take a moment to appreciate the concept of "beginner's mind."

Most of us at this moment in time are newbie’s to the vast field of data that we must process in order to get up to speed on the parameters of the corona-virus crisis – and there is a lot of disinformation out there that we must deal with.

To my way of thinking, one must begin with the understanding that one does not know anything. -And one must read everything and be open to truth from all quarters, and then work out the contradictions. I learned that methodology from the late Mae Brussell of Carmel, and I consider myself to be one of her disciples.

Although I am not a Buddhist, I find that the four ko-tis of Buddhist logic are of immeasurable benefit in fully processing the piles of information at a time like this. -For Binary/Western -& even Hegelian/Western (trinary)- logic is an intellectual straitjacket.

In the first place, I want to thank Melissa Sophia Joy for bringing Professor Francis Boyle to my attention; caromia333 for bringing Dr. Peter Daszak into the picture; my brother-in-law for calling my attention to the article from Newsweek; and wisewomn for the article from the Washington Post.

Here we have a situation where we may practice Mae Brussell’s technique of reading everything & working out the contradictions. -And this is by no means 'everything'. It is information from only four sources. But each source contains a piece of the puzzle.

For the present, let us simply examine one term that professor Peter Boyle speaks of in his interviews with Dr. Joseph Mercola – the phenomena of “gain-of-function” research on corona-viruses that originate in bat caves in China. He has a lot to say about it – none of it very charitable or especially forgiving. He also says categorically that the BSL-4 Laboratory in Wuhan, China is a “Bio-weapons Lab” He does not mince words.

Dr. Peter Daszak, on the other hand, failed to mention to Amy Goodman’s listeners on Democracy Now! “O, by the way, I was doing “gain-of-function” research on Corona-viruses from bat caves in China at the lab in Wuhan.” –A big glitch. But the journalist, Fred Guterl, in his article (https://www.newsweek.com/dr-fauci-backed-controversial-wuhan-lab-millions-us-dollars-risky-coronavirus-research-1500741) in Newsweek fills in that gap:


"...The NIH research consisted of two parts. The first part (https://projectreporter.nih.gov/project_info_description.cfm?aid=8674931&icde=49750546) began in 2014 and involved surveillance of bat coronaviruses, and had a budget of $3.7 million. The program funded Shi Zheng-Li, a virologist at the Wuhan lab, and other researchers to investigate and catalogue bat coronaviruses in the wild. This part of the project was completed in 2019.

A second phase (https://projectreporter.nih.gov/project_info_description.cfm?aid=9819304&icde=49645421) of the project, beginning that year [2019, ed.] included additional surveillance work but also gain-of-function research for the purpose of understanding how bat coronaviruses could mutate to attack humans. The project was run by EcoHealth Alliance, a non-profit research group, under the direction of President Peter Daszak (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=7&v=5x_pIgvDLcg&feature=emb_logo), an expert on disease ecology. NIH canceled the project just this past Friday, April 24th, Politico reported. Daszak did not immediately respond to Newsweek requests for comment..."

-And Josh Rogin, in the article (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/04/14/state-department-cables-warned-safety-issues-wuhan-lab-studying-bat-coronaviruses/)in the Washington Post fleshes out a little more detail about the nature of “gain-of-function research” :

"The research was designed to prevent the next SARS-like pandemic by anticipating how it might emerge. But even in 2015, other scientists questioned (https://www.nature.com/news/engineered-bat-virus-stirs-debate-over-risky-research-1.18787?WT.mc_id=TWT_NatureNews) whether Shi’s team was taking unnecessary risks. In October 2014, the U.S. government had imposed a moratorium (https://www.nature.com/news/us-suspends-risky-disease-research-1.16192) on funding of any research that makes a virus more deadly or contagious, known as “[U]gain-of-function” experiments."


Again, I call the waccobbians attention to the cognitive dissonance between the words of professor Francis Boyle and Dr. Peter Daszak.

Article from The Times of Israel:



"Why US outsourced bat virus research to Wuhan"
by Christina Lin, April 25, 2020


US-funded $3.7 million project approved by Trump’s Covid-19 guru Dr Anthony Fauci in 2015 after US ban imposed on ‘monster-germ’ research

A recent Daily Mail article (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8211257/Wuhan-lab-performing-experiments-bats-coronavirus-caves.html) revealed that the US National Institute of Health (NIH) funded bat coronavirus research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology to the tune of $3.7 million.

Back in October 2014, the US government had placed a federal moratorium (https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2014/10/us-halts-funding-new-risky-virus-studies-calls-voluntary-moratorium) on gain-of-function (GOF) research—altering natural pathogens to make them more deadly and infectious–as a result of rising fears about a possible pandemic caused by accidental or deliberate release of these genetically engineered monster germs.

This was in part due to lab accidents at the US Centers (https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2014/07/lab-incidents-lead-safety-crackdown-cdc) for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in July 2014 that raised questions about biosafety (https://asiatimes.com/2020/04/biosecurity-in-question-at-us-germ-labs/) at US high-containment labs.

At that time, the CDC had closed two labs and halted some biological shipments in the wake of several incidents in which highly pathogenic microbes were mishandled by federal laboratories: an accidental shipment of live anthrax, the discovery of forgotten, live smallpox samples, and a newly revealed incident in which a dangerous influenza strain was accidentally shipped from CDC to another lab.

A CDC internal report (https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2014/p0711-lab-safety.html) described how scientists failed to follow proper procedures to ensure samples were inactivated before they left the lab, and also found “multiple other problems” with operating procedures in the anthrax lab.

As such in October 2014, due to public health concerns the US government banned all federal funding (http://www.phe.gov/s3/dualuse/Documents/gain-of-function.pdf) on efforts to weaponize three viruses—influenza, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).

In the face of a moratorium in the US, Dr. Anthony Fauci–director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) and currently the leading doctor in the US Coronavirus Task Force–outsourced (https://nationalfile.com/faucis-niaid-funded-wuhan-lab-scientists-to-research-bat-coronavirus/) in 2015 (https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4869590/user-clip-us-2015-grant-wuhan-lab-question) the GOF research to China’s Wuhan lab and licensed the lab (https://www.foxnews.com/media/gaetz-end-nih-grant-wuhan-virology-lab) to continue receiving federal funding.
The Wuhan lab is now at the center of scrutiny for possibly releasing theSARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and causing the global Covid-19 pandemic.

Understandably, China’s lab would likely struggle with safety issues given the fact US labs also share similar problems, and indeed in January 2018 the US embassy in Beijing sent cables (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/04/14/state-department-cables-warned-safety-issues-wuhan-lab-studying-bat-coronaviruses/) warning about safety of the Wuhan lab and asked for help.

Additionally, the cable warned the researchers “showed that various SARS-like corona-viruses can interact with ACE2, the human receptor identified for SARS-corona-virus,” meaning bat corona-viruses can be transmitted to humans to cause SARS-like diseases.

Now, the US is up in arms to hold China accountable for the global corona-virus pandemic, filing class action lawsuits domestically (https://www.msn.com/en-xl/northamerica/northamerica-top-stories/thousands-sign-up-to-us-class-action-to-sue-china-over-coronavirus/ar-BB12Uqmp?li=BBJDXDP), as well as building a coalition with allies (https://iharare.com/worlds-superpowers-join-forces-against-china/) internationally.

Lawsuits have been filed within the US (https://www.dallasnews.com/news/public-health/2020/03/18/dallas-federal-lawsuit-accuses-chinese-government-of-creating-coronavirus-as-biological-weapon/) and the International Criminal Court that China used the virus as a bioweapon (https://www.ccn.com/bombshell-icc-complaint-sues-china-over-alleged-coronavirus-bioweapon/), and other suits are underway at the International Court of Justice. GOP lawmakers such as Sen. Tom Cotton and Rep. Dan Crenshaw have also introduced legislation (https://nypost.com/2020/04/17/lawmakers-introduce-bill-allowing-americans-to-sue-china-over-coronavirus/) that would allow Americans to sue China in federal court over the death and economic damage wrought by the virus.

US spy agencies (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/creating-an-accurate-picture-us-spy-agencies-investigating-wuhan-lab-escape-coronavirus-theory) are also investigating whether the virus originated in the Wuhan lab, and seeking evidence that is needed to support the bio WMD theory promoted by GOP lawmakers.

If evidence is found that Covid-19 is a biological weapon, some pundits such as Fox News host Lou Dobbs (https://www.politicususa.com/2020/04/17/foxs-lou-dobbs-mulls-war-with-china-if-coronavirus-is-a-biological-weapon.html) have called for the US to declare war (https://www.comicsands.com/china-conspiracy-theory-dobbs-fox-2645759264.html) on China.

Nonetheless, it is unclear what the legal ramifications would be if the virus is indeed leaked from a Chinese lab, but from a research project that was outsourced and funded by the US government.

Also, if there is a government ban in 2014 on federal funding being used for GOF research, what are the federal compliance and ethical issues surrounding the fact that NIH still gave federal funding instead of private funding to the Wuhan lab to continue the experiments?

ah, but consider the medium. A two-line answer that not only provokes much, but says much, is a contribution worth striving for.

Yes Peter, quite true; it is a contribution worth striving for. -And as the old saying goes "brevity is the soul of wit." However, much of what gets posted as two-liners in social media forums (facebook is notoriously bad on this score) is both specious & vacuous. I appreciate messages that have a little substance.

YES. PLEASE (RE)read and explain to me WHY Fauci OUTSOURCED BIOWEAPONIZING VIRUSES WHEN THAT WAS ENDED IN THE US - AND USED MILLIONS OF US $$$$ TO DO IT? AND IS NOT BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE??? if you can ADD TO PROOF OR DISPROOF of this action, please do REPLY.

excerpt from article below:
A CDC internal report (https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2014/p0711-lab-safety.html) described how scientists failed to follow proper procedures to ensure samples were inactivated before they left the lab, and also found “multiple other problems” with operating procedures in the US anthrax lab.

As such in October 2014, due to public health concerns the US government banned all federal funding (http://www.phe.gov/s3/dualuse/Documents/gain-of-function.pdf) on efforts to weaponize three viruses—influenza, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).

In the face of a moratorium in the US, Dr. Anthony Fauci–director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) and currently the leading doctor in the US Coronavirus Task Force–outsourced (https://nationalfile.com/faucis-niaid-funded-wuhan-lab-scientists-to-research-bat-coronavirus/) in 2015 (https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4869590/user-clip-us-2015-grant-wuhan-lab-question) the GOF research to China’s Wuhan lab and licensed the lab (https://www.foxnews.com/media/gaetz-end-nih-grant-wuhan-virology-lab) to continue receiving federal funding.
The Wuhan lab is now at the center of scrutiny for possibly releasing theSARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and causing the global Covid-19 pandemic.

Understandably, China’s lab would likely struggle with safety issues given the fact US labs also share similar problems, and indeed in January 2018 the US embassy in Beijing sent cables (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/04/14/state-department-cables-warned-safety-issues-wuhan-lab-studying-bat-coronaviruses/) warning about safety of the Wuhan lab and asked for help.
article contines...

...AND also explain to me why it is China who's being sued in World Courts?
Thanks, Jude

Again, from the Washington Post article:



State Department cables warned of safety issues
at Wuhan lab studying bat coronaviruses
(https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/04/14/state-department-cables-warned-safety-issues-wuhan-lab-studying-bat-coronaviruses/)
By Josh Rogin
April 14, 2020 (https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/josh-rogin/)


"...The research was designed to prevent the next SARS-like pandemic by anticipating how it might emerge. But even in 2015, other scientists questioned (https://www.nature.com/news/engineered-bat-virus-stirs-debate-over-risky-research-1.18787?WT.mc_id=TWT_NatureNews) whether Shi’s team was taking unnecessary risks. In October 2014, the U.S. government had imposed a moratorium (https://www.nature.com/news/us-suspends-risky-disease-research-1.16192) on funding of any research that makes a virus more deadly or contagious, known as “gain-of-function” experiments.

As many have pointed out (https://www.nature.com/news/engineered-bat-virus-stirs-debate-over-risky-research-1.18787), there is no evidence that the virus now plaguing the world was engineered; scientists largely agree it came from animals. But that is not the same as saying it didn’t come from the lab, which spent years testing bat coronaviruses in animals, said Xiao Qiang, a research scientist at the School of Information at the University of California at Berkeley.

“The cable tells us that there have long been concerns about the possibility of the threat to public health that came from this lab’s research, if it was not being adequately conducted and protected,” he said.

There are similar concerns about the nearby Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention lab, which operates at biosecurity level 2, a level significantly less secure than the level-4 standard claimed by the Wuhan Insititute of Virology lab, Xiao said. That’s important because the Chinese government still refuses to answer basic questions about the origin of the novel coronavirus while suppressing any attempts to examine whether either lab was involved.

Sources familiar with the cables said they were meant to sound an alarm about the grave safety concerns at the WIV lab, especially regarding its work with bat coronaviruses. The embassy officials were calling for more U.S. attention to this lab and more support for it, to help it fix its problems.

“The idea that it was just a totally natural occurrence is circumstantial. The evidence it leaked from the lab is circumstantial. Right now, the ledger on the side of it leaking from the lab is packed with bullet points and there’s almost nothing on the other side,” the official said.

As my colleague David Ignatius noted (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/how-did-covid-19-begin-its-initial-origin-story-is-shaky/2020/04/02/1475d488-7521-11ea-87da-77a8136c1a6d_story.html?tid=lk_inline_manual_31&itid=lk_inline_manual_31), the Chinese government’s original story — that the virus emerged from a seafood market in Wuhan — is shaky. Research by Chinese experts published in the Lancet (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30183-5/fulltext#bib35) in January showed the first known patient, identified on Dec. 1, had no connection to the market, nor did more than one-third of the cases in the first large cluster. Also, the market didn’t sell bats..."



I find those last words interesting and very significant.
Do you see what I see?

Tell Congress that H.R. 6666 “COVID-19 Testing, Reaching, and Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act” is Unconstitutional and Threatens the Liberty of All Americans

There has never been a more urgent reason to contact your representative in Congress than H.R. 6666. This Orwellian bill (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLdjB-e1xOM) threatens our freedom as individuals more than any piece of legislation we’ve previously seen.

As the chaos around Covid-19 continues to dominate lives, governments, and media around the globe, H.R. 6666 was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives, aiming to use the diversion to implement strategies to legalize surveillance of all people in this country, in clear violation of Article I of the Constitution.

H.R. 6666 is conspicuously vague. It allocates $100 billion in taxpayer funds to entities of the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) choosing for contact tracing and for “other purposes.” No additional purposes are specified which establishes the potential for abuse of individual rights in myriad ways.

The bill creates a de facto, federally-funded “health” police force with power to “conduct diagnostic testing for COVID-19, and related activities…at individuals’ residences”, paving the road to violations of constitutional rights to due process and equal protection.

H.R. 6666 is especially ominous for children because if passed, it could lead to family separations (https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-ventura-county-coronavirus-forcibly-removed-homes-quarantine)—as promoted by the World Health Organization—despite the fact that children are reliant upon parents and guardians in nearly every way.

Make sure your U.S. Representative in Congress hears from you!

{sample letter}

</article> <label class="sli-label"></label> Subject: Re: H.R. 6666 COVID-19 Testing, Reaching, and Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act

<label class="sli-tl-letter-msg-lbl" for="messageBody-0-0">Message:</label> I am writing to you regarding H.R. 6666, the “COVID-19 Testing, Reaching, and Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act.”

This bill would create federally-funded mobile health units with $100 billion – the same amount as the total budgets for the states of New Jersey and Illinois combined – to surveil all people in the United States to assess COVID-19 status. There is nothing in Article I of the Constitution that grants to Congress this kind of surveillance authority over American citizens and residents. States retain the police power to enforce health law; this would be an infringement on states’ powers.

We have a long and sad history of police powers being used disproportionately and abusively against minorities, including minorities based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender and sexual orientation. Creating a federally-funded “health” police force with explicit instructions to “conduct diagnostic testing for COVID-19, and related activities…at individuals’ residences” would lead to violations of constitutional rights to due process and equal protection.

H.R. 6666 is unconstitutionally vague, allocating $100 billion to entities that the CDC Director chooses for contact tracing “and for other purposes.” What other purposes? No one in entitled to a blank check, not Congress, not the President, and not the CDC Director.

The vagueness of this bill poses a particularly grave threat to children, whose lives depend on their parents and guardians. This bill, if enacted, could lead to family separations, as the World Health Organization (https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/transcripts/who-audio-emergencies-coronavirus-press-conference-full-30mar2020.pdf?sfvrsn=6b68bc4a_2) has advocated. Parent-child separations would be devastating to children’s health and well-being and a violation of fundamental parental rights.

The answer to the COVID-19 crisis is not more surveillance, more policing, and more Constitutional violations. Freedom-loving Americans deserve better from our elected lawmakers.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr: ‘Bill Gates Couldn’t Even Save
Windows From Viruses’- He Needs To ‘Sit Down’



Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has a message for Microsoft founder Bill Gates and his plans to “save the world.” According to Kennedy Jr., Gates couldn’t even save his Windows operating systems from viruses, so he should “sit down” when it comes to the coronavirus.

Bill Gates has announced he is spending billions of dollars to save the world from the coronavirus pandemic, outlining plans for seven factories to work overtime producing seven prospective vaccines.

But Kennedy Jr., who describes himself as a vaccine safety advocate, isn’t impressed with the Microsoft founder’s track record of pushing vaccines on vulnerable populations, and in some cases causing serious health problems. Kennedy Jr. used his popular Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/robertfkennedyjr/) to share a Story that in no uncertain terms instructed Gates to sit down and leave us the hell alone.

Of course you were unlikely to hear about the disasters unleashed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation around the world. That’s because they involved Indian and African children and the mainstream media turned a blind eye, preferring to present Gates as a philanthropist and liberal icon.

Now, if Gates has his way, the experiment is coming home. Gates is willing to lose billions of dollars to be the first to create a coronavirus vaccine, and he has the money to make it happen.

Should we trust the man who has openly stated the world population should be reduced by 10 to 15 percent (https://blogs.wsj.com/wealth/2009/05/26/billionaires-try-to-shrink-worlds-population-report-says/), or should we remain skeptical like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and tell Gates to “sit down”?

How Bill Gates Controls Global Messaging and Censorship


May 19, 2020


By Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Chairman,
Children’s Health Defense (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/how-bill-gates-controls-global-messaging-and-censorship/)



Bill Gates is the world’s largest vaccine producer (https://www.gatesnotes.com/Health/What-you-need-to-know-about-the-COVID-19-vaccine) and the single largest donor to the World Health Organization (https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/04/who-funds-world-health-organization-un-coronavirus-pandemic-covid-trump/) (WHO)—since President Trump halted U.S. support pending an investigation of WHO’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis—and the CDC Foundation (https://www.cdcfoundation.org/blog-entry/cdc-foundation-receives-13.5-million-grant-from-gates-foundation). Those agencies are now marketing arms for his vaccine empire.
In January of 2019, Gates had WHO declare “vaccine hesitancy (https://www.who.int/news-room/feature-stories/ten-threats-to-global-health-in-2019)” a top “global health threat” (with Ebola, HIV, war, and drug-resistant pathogens among others), signaling a worldwide Pharma Gold Rush to mandate vaccines to all people.

Gates maxed-out in donations (https://www.geekwire.com/2019/microsoft-resumes-political-spending-despite-ongoing-employee-concerns/) to Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff’s PAC.

In February of 2019, Schiff wrote to Facebook, Google (https://schiff.house.gov/news/press-releases/schiff-sends-letter-to-google-facebook-regarding-anti-vaccine-misinformation), and Amazon (https://schiff.house.gov/news/press-releases/schiff-sends-letter-to-amazon-ceo-regarding-anti-vaccine-misinformation), demanding they censor “vaccine misinformation,” a term meaning all skepticism toward government and industry pronouncements about vaccine safety or efficacy—whether true or not.

“Vaccines are both effective and safe,” Schiff wrote. “There is no evidence to suggest that vaccines cause life-threatening or disabling disease.”

This was misinformation. A year earlier, Schiff pushed a bill (https://appropriations.house.gov/sites/democrats.appropriations.house.gov/files/FY2020%20LHHS%20Filed%20Report%20-%20HR2740.pdf) to hike the Vaccine Court admin budget to $11,200,000 to reduce vaccine injury backlogs. The court had already paid out $4 billion for vaccine deaths and disabilities (https://www.hrsa.gov/sites/default/files/hrsa/vaccine-compensation/data/data-statistics-report.pdf).

Facebook (https://abcnews.go.com/Health/facebook-alters-policies-combat-vaccine-misinformation/story?id=65392486) and Pinterest (https://www.mobihealthnews.com/news/seeking-deter-vaccine-misinformation-pinterest-launches-efforts-provide-reliable-sources) said that they will rely on Gates’s WHO and CDC to say which online statements are “misinformation or hoaxes.”

Facebook and Google hired “FactChecker” (Politifact) (https://www.politifact.com/facebook-fact-checks/) to censor vaccine misinformation.

The Gates Foundation is “FactChecker’s” largest funder (https://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2019/06/18/facebook-fact-checker-misinforms-users-about-vaccine-safety/). In his article, “Facebook “Fact-Checker” Misinforms Users about Vaccine Safety (https://www.jeremyrhammond.com/2019/06/17/facebook-fact-checker-misinforms-users-about-vaccine-safety/)” investigative journalist Jeremy Hammond concludes, “Facebook is guilty of misinforming its users about vaccine safety. . . .They have no problem with lies about vaccine safety and effectiveness, as long as it’s intended to persuade parents to vaccinate their children.”

On May 4, 2017, FactChecker declared false (https://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2019/06/18/facebook-fact-checker-misinforms-users-about-vaccine-safety/) Del Bigtree’s statement, “Vaccines include aluminum and mercury, which are neurotoxins, and vaccines cause encephalopathy.”

FactChecker explained, “Current data show vaccines are safe and do not cause toxicity or encephalopathy.”
Manufacturers’ inserts (https://www.fda.gov/files/vaccines,%20blood%20&%20biologics/published/Package-Insert---Gardasil.pdf) reveal that many vaccines contain aluminum (https://www.fda.gov/media/79773/download) and mercury (https://www.fda.gov/media/119856/download), and cause encephalopathy (https://www.fda.gov/media/119856/download).

Finally, massive gifts to NPR (https://www.gatesfoundation.org/How-We-Work/Quick-Links/Grants-Database/Grants/2009/11/OPPad17) and PBS (https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/does-gates-funding-of-media-taint-objectivity/) buy Gates biased vaccine coverage from public media.

I would very dearly like to know the truth about vaccines. How can I possibly know the truth if my bias is against them, hence looking for evidence to support my already made up opinion on vaccines?

I have more than one friend who have suffered most of their lives because of polio (vaccine came out right after they contracted the disease). What about small pox?

Traces of aluminum or other questionable substances in vaccines...?? Are they indeed harmful in these small dosages? Why do they need to be the vaccine at all?

You may read this and sense "I am pro vaccine". Nope, not the case. I simply want the truth. Most importantly I will not approach this with a deep conviction of suspicion about government (controlled by corporations). There obviously is some truth to this statement yet "do we throw the baby out with the bathwater"? Does Bill and Melinda Gates have mysterious dark or controlling motives to all their work in Africa and elsewhere around the world?

What I am really saying here is how can each of us be an investigative citizen without first going down to the basement of our being and sincerely connect with the early events that in a fell swoop set the stage (beliefs) for filtering so many current actions and events with suspicion. Please don't interpret this to mean one needs to adopt a Pollyanna attitude...far from it...

Dave Lee, If one sincerely desires to know the truth about anything, one must start with an empty mind, free of opinions & also as bias-free as one can possibly make it be. Then -and this is important- one must seek with the whole heart. Whatever it is that one wants to know, it is accessible, and may be known. Then, one must learn to work out the contradictions in the meanings embedded in the messages of the multitudes of voices, all shouting in the same storm.

If you really want to know the "truth about vaccinations" - the positive as well as the negative - I suggest you begin by mining the posts on this very thread; reading them, opening & studying the links. Here is as good as any place to make a beginning.

The truth about vaccines is complicated. There are many, smallpox is the star, this disease has been eliminated. Polio is still around, despite the latest Gates efforts. The other extreme is clamidia, aka gardicil, withdrawn? And now we have sarsviris 2. Is there a vaccine for sarsviris 1? No. It was contained and eliminated. Though far more deadly than 2, far less transmissive. And both are corona viruses, there are three of these which cause common cold. A vaccine for colds is like inventing a better mousetrap, hasn't happened yet despite many efforts.

So given that covid 19 is destroying world economy in all nation states, any vaccine will be pushed hard. Vaccine researchers love to claim that immunity from vaccine is greater than immunity from surviving disease. Research claiming this is government propaganda. So suspicion of biases is an important part of seeking truth. My favorite way to understand vaccine politics is a quote from character Dr McCoy in an early startrec movie, save us from 20th century medicine. Western medicine is a history of mistakes creating learning. I remember an old argument with my banned by berry brother miles. I supported the position that easily communicated disease was reduced far more by sanitation than vaccine. He's my brother, so he argued with me.

I truly believe that the Public would be better served & ultimately, better informed regarding the Mystery that still clings to the Origin of that darned SARS-2/CoVID-19 virus, if we=all could listen in on a Debate between Dr. Peter Daszak & Professor Francis Boyle about whether this ‘thing’ came out of a BSL-4 lab or not. There is a bit of a disparity – more like a gaping hole – between the testimonies of the two men.




There is an art to reading between the lines; which so many people in general are so uneducated on and just plane not good at, particularly in law and today's media spinning of politics. Obviously Dr Boyle is, very educated and smart in his field of expertise. There is no argument from me in that regard...

...To reiterate, Dr Boyle has made his 'analysis' based on using what he does know and believes he knows.

Mayacaman, after looking up Dr Peter Daszak, I understand why you don't trust Dr Peter Daszak's word about the lab in Wuhan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuhan_Institute_of_Virology) China.

I have some suspicion about the accuracy and possibly the truthfulness of his statement because it is so absolute yet stark:

Quotation from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Daszak#Interviews):

"In April 2020, during the public controversy about the origins of the coronavirus which has caused the COVID-19 pandemic, Daszak appeared on an internet news program, Democracy Now!, to refute the idea that the virus was the result of a laboratory accident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology":

"I’ve been working with that lab for 15 years. And the samples collected were collected by me and others in collaboration with our Chinese colleagues. They’re some of the best scientists in the world. There was no viral isolate in the lab. There was no cultured virus that’s anything related to SARS-coronavirus-2. So it’s just not possible.[13] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Daszak#cite_note-13)"

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.: Moderna’s “Clinical Trial Results for
Its Groundbreaking COVID Vaccine Could Not Be Much Worse”



By Robert F. Kennedy Jr (https://www.globalresearch.ca/author/robert-f-kennedy-jr) and Peter Koenig (https://www.globalresearch.ca/author/peter-koenig)

Global Research, May 22, 2020



The Warp Speed Timeline – is what Dr. Fauci, NIAID / NIH and Bill Gates called the Covid-19 vaccination program that should have started in a few weeks (‘should have’ – hopefully now it won’t).

The world should know about the type of fraud that is planned to being administered to Mother Earth’s 7 billion people. If the trials’ side disastrous effects are any indication – the vaccination would cause considerable harm or injury – and possibly death – to people of Planet Earth.

This is what Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – JFK’s nephew – who is intimately involved in Children’s Protection from vaccines – had to say about it.

“Despite Moderna’s (pharmaceutical company created by the Bill Gates Foundation) cheery press release this morning (20 May 2020), the clinical trial results for its groundbreaking COVID vaccine could not be much worse.

"The vaccine, developed and championed by Anthony Fauci and financed by Bill Gates, used an experimental mRNA technology that the two men hoped would allow rapid deployment to meet President Trump’s ambitions “warp speed” timeline.

"Dr. Fauci was so confident of his shot’s safety that he waved ferret and primate studies (Moderna suspiciously reported no health data from its mouse studies).

"That appears to have been a mistake. Three of the 15 human guinea pigs in the high dose cohort (250 mcg) suffered a “serious adverse event” within 43 days of receiving Moderna’s jab."

In Episode 2 of TRUTH, RFK, Jr. spoke with Polly Tommey about the health epidemics of children, delving even deeper into the specific injuries caused by vaccinations, including those listed on the product inserts. Discussion surrounded the fact that there is essentially no safety testing for vaccines; and, once citizens know this information and do their research, they become steadfast advocates who can’t turn away. The episode closed with a discussion of rights to refuse vaccinations and that parents shouldn’t be bullied!

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., on coming COVID vaccines (https://insidethevatican.com/magazine/robert-f-kennedy-jr-on-coming-covid-vaccines/)


As a family that supports freedom from government force and open debate, how can we condone government violence, censorship, and compulsory medical procedures which the Nuremberg Charter and numerous international treaties to which we are signatory emphatically outlaw? As human rights advocates, we must ask ourselves the question: "At what point does one stop blindly believing government and pharmaceutical officials?" — Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Includes May 4, 2020 interview w/following questions answered:

I asked Mr. Kennedy about his thoughts, given the call by the World Health Organization, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, and others for mass vaccinations, about vaccines "for the greater good" versus the health of the individual.

Stefanie Stark: What are the moral implications of sacrificing a small number of individuals who we know will have severe adverse reactions, including death, to vaccines for the greater good of the community, the state, the country, the world?

According to the World Health Organization, there are 70 vaccines in development — three of which are in clinical trials. What do you think about the push for the rapid development of a COVID-19 vaccine? Is it okay to skip animal trials and go straight to human trials? Can those human volunteers truly have informed consent?

The first COVID-19 vaccine trial began in mid-March. The potential vaccine is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and was developed by scientists at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in partnership with the pharmaceutical company Moderna, Inc. Please speak to the problems you see with DNA-altering vaccines, since some of the proposed vaccines, including Moderna's, are using genetic engineering.

I'm finally making my way around to the burning question about COVID-19: Is this a wild virus or a created virus?

Vaccine Ethics and Children: With COVID-19,
Science Has Completely Lost Its Way

By James Lyons-Weiler



COVID-19 science should have set a new standard for vaccine safety research. Instead, it has lowered the bar. Hear this well: COVID-19 vaccines are not – and never were – a fait accompli. Unless the science being conducted on COVID-19 vaccines is held to the normative standards for ethical clinical research, no ethical physician, parent, or politician should support their general use – regardless of ACIP, CDC, WHO and AMA, AAP and FDA expected rubber-stamp recommendations. The regulatory system we have is fatally flawed and must be replaced with one free from profit motive. I call this Plan B, and I and my supporters will from this day make every effort to insure these obsolete and captured organizations’ impairment of bona fide evidence-based medicine in the US and abroad is brought to an end.

Most medical professionals and parents believe that vaccines are the best way forward to protect children from disease caused by infectious pathogenic agents. In a recent article (https://www.gatesnotes.com/Health/What-you-need-to-know-about-the-COVID-19-vaccine), Bill Gates reports that he suspects ”the COVID-19 vaccine will become part of the routine newborn immunization schedule.”

Oxford has announced (http://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2020-05-22-oxford-covid-19-vaccine-begin-phase-iiiii-human-trials) that its Phase II COVID-19 vaccine studies will include a group of children aged between 5-12 years. Given the low susceptibility of children to illness from SARS-CoV-2 infection, the inclusion of children is, according to Oxford, warranted so the differences between their immune systems and those of adults challenged with SARS-CoV-2 antigens can be better understood.

Any translational scientist or bioethicist should, on the grounds of elementary first principles of the ethics of clinical research, object vehemently to the inclusion of children in COVID-19 vaccine studies. Here, I lay those principles out in the current context.

1. There are no potential benefits to the child enrollees being experimented upon.The overall infection case fatality rate of SARS-CoV-2 is estimated by CDC at 0.26% (https://web.archive.org/web/20200521203901/https:/www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html). The risk of serious illness and death from SARS-CoV-2 infection in children is effectively zero. In fact, risk of serious/critical illness and death is isolated to known groups of individuals with diabetes or cardiovascular disease, and the elderly, and those with certain co-morbidities (see CDC: Groups at Higher Risk for Severe Illness.)
(http://web.archive.org/web/20200503133604/https:/www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/groups-at-higher-risk.html)
There is, therefore, no potential benefit to any child who would be enrolled in COVID-19 vaccine studies, and the trial would only serve to benefit others. This is highly unethical.

There is also no expected population-level beneficial effect from the Oxford vaccine; all rhesus monkeys, vaccinated or not, with their vaccine, were still susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Thus, vaccination to prevent infection and transmission cannot be a justification for that particular vaccine: the virus should be expected to be freely transmitted throughout the population until it finds the immunocompromised and those at risk of serious and critical illness.

2. No free, prior and informed consent on risk is possible – for any COVID-19 human subject of any age. In SARS, MERS and other coronavirus vaccine research, unacceptably high risk of coronavirus disease enhancement was reported in animals vaccinated against the coronaviruses, and re-challenged with infection See “SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Recommended Readings (https://jameslyonsweiler.com/2020/02/07/2019-ncov-vaccine-recommended-readings/)“. This critical animal safety study phase led to the termination of the development of SARS and MERS vaccines. That is not a failure of science, it is a success. The problem of disease enhancement from coronavirus vaccines has been misleadingly referenced as “immune enhancement”, a term that is an inexact reference to disease enhancement. It has been re-labeled “Pathogenic Priming (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589909020300186)”, a phrase that focuses the liability on the act of the exposure, not the passive liability on the human immune system (Lyons-Weiler, 2020 (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589909020300186)).

The knowledge of whether disease enhancement will occur due to exposure to SARS-CoV-2 proteins in a vaccine will have to be gleaned from Phase 2 or 3 human subjects studies. The participants of such studies at any age cannot provide free, prior and informed consent – as required by US Federal Regulations – if participants do not know of the general possibility of risk, and worse, the specific likelihood of downstream serious/critical illness or death upon re-exposure.The all-important Phase 1 animal safety studies were specifically skipped prior to the Phase 2 trials of COVID-19 vaccines. This was done with the full knowledge of NIAID’s Anthony Fauci, who is partnering with Moderna on their RNA vaccine (See Live Science: “Researchers fast-track coronavirus vaccine by skipping key animal testing first (https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-vaccine-trial-no-animal-testing.html)” . Vaccinologist Paul Offit has called for skipping Phase 2 or combining Phase 2 and 3 trials on the basis of his perception of the seriousness COVID-19 (https://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2020/05/18/early-results-from-moderna-coronavirus-vaccine-trial-show-participants-developed-antibodies-against-the-virus/). Due to a lack of new cases in the UK, Oxford is relocating its human vaccine experimentation trials to Brazil, where pathogenic priming will likely show its face because, according to Forbes (https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2020/06/04/brazil-to-be-first-to-test-oxfords-covid-19-vaccine/#fd0c67c3212b),


“As part of the Oxford trial’s design, participants will receive the vaccine and then continue being exposed to the virus normally in their day-to-day work.”


This means the effect of exposure to the virus following vaccination – and potential pathogenic priming is specifically being sought in human experimentation on a population in a developing country. Why not the UK? Is this imperial medical exploitation? This outsourcing of risk is unethical, and the lack of available clinical cases in some countries, including the UK begs the question of the plausibility and need of a COVID-19 vaccine program altogether.

3. Vaccines for Everyone At All Costs – Including Any Risk.In its publication, the Gates Foundation is apparently comfortable with COVID-19 vaccines being “brutal”, citing the experience with the polio vaccine leaving a large percentage of its recipients unable to go to school or work. The message “It might not be a perfect vaccine yet—and that’s okay” is a self-authorized permission slip to proceed not only to research on these vaccines – but also to begin production of billions of doses of the vaccine prior to knowledge of efficacy and safety.


Treating vaccine safety science as a token step toward FDA approval


We don’t yet know how “brutal” a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine might turn out to be. Gate’s message appears to be “COVID-19 vaccine regardless of any harm”. Gates is treating vaccine safety science as a token step toward FDA approval. Something is amiss with Gates’ moral algorithm: he favors benefit to a few at the potential high cost to the many.

One participant in the Moderna Phase 1 trial revealed his serious reaction to the vaccine. STAT News reported (https://www.statnews.com/2020/05/26/moderna-vaccine-candidate-trial-participant-severe-reaction/) that, in spite of high fever and fainting, he is still, most unscientifically, a “believer”. Science is about empirical knowledge, not faith. It is unacceptable that we do not know whether he and all other participants in the early trial of Moderna’s vaccine study are now more susceptible to serious and critical illness or death from SARS-CoV-2 infection. This ignorance is not due to a lack of opportunity to know; Moderna has boasted about its animal studies which demonstrated antibody production. They had or have vaccinated animals; whether they simply have not challenged those animals with SARS-CoV-2 viral infection to check for pathogenic priming, or have done so but have not made those results public is unclear. If there was no pathogenic priming, they surely would have made the results public.

COVID-19 did not spread in the US due to a lack of a vaccine; it spread due to CDC’s botched strategy for early containment via testing and tracking: On January 16, 2020, CDC career scientists refused to adopt a validated test developed by Germany, and instead developed and shipped a flawed SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR testing kit, which led to the spread of COVID-19 due to false negative results. This is why SARS-CoV-2 spread so fast in the US.

if you are wondering about the credentials of the author of this article, here they are: ...they're good, and beyond that, his critiques are focused and narrow. He doesn't (or at least, not in the posted excerpt he doesn't) stray into speculation as to motivations and hidden agendas. This factor alone makes this citation unusual for this thread. We get to speculate on the motivations and causes, which is as it should be!

so to actually talk about his points, which I tend to agree with:


no potential benefit to the children being experimented on. As he explains, it's true, that's generally considered unethical.
no informed consent is possible. He makes a clear case there too. Debatable whether this is unique to this situation, but a good point.
those promoting testing are willing to accept brutal (to use his term) consequences. He states that factually, backs it and avoids imputing evil motives that aren't themselves documented.


I won't bother to go into whether such evil motives exist. I tend to think they don't. But I do agree with him, there seems to be too much of a willingness to accept massive collateral damage, or at least the risk of same, in the race for a vaccine. Personally I think that's because those behind the research see the disease as worse than the cure, but I'm not so sure it won't be a cure worse than the disease. Those pushing the vaccine development of course know more than I do about it, but I can acknowledge that and still be unwilling to accept their judgement of what's prudent and even on what's ethical.

Children’s Health Defense Responds to Accusation
of Spreading “Misinformation” on Facebook



Children’s Health Defense has been accused of spreading vaccine “misinformation”,
but it’s the government and major media who are deceiving the public.



By Jeremy R. Hammond (https://www.globalresearch.ca/author/jeremy-r-hammond)
& Children’s Health Defense (https://www.globalresearch.ca/author/childrens-health-defense)
Global Research, July 01, 2020



In November 2019, the Washington Post and other major news media accused Children’s Health Defense (CHD) of using Facebook advertisements to spread “misinformation” about vaccines. The basis for these accusations, which have since continued, is a study published in the prestigious medical journal Vaccine that named CHD as a top buyer of vaccine-related Facebook ads. What the media failed to inform the public, however, is that the government-funded authors of this study failed to identify even a single example of a Facebook ad from CHD that contained any misinformation.

CHD has now published a detailed response (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/ebook-sign-up-how-censorship-is-redefining-informed-consent-as-misinformation/) to this baseless accusation showing that the real story here is how inconveniently truthful information about vaccines is being censored and how our right to informed consent is under assault.

The authors of the study did not trouble themselves to determine the truthfulness of vaccine-related Facebook advertisements. Instead, they simply categorized any ads that did not conform with the public policy goal of sustaining or increasing vaccination rates as “anti-vaccine”. Under their adopted criteria, even the simple act of advocating the right to informed consent constituted “anti-vaccine” behavior.

Then the authors lazily and dogmatically equated anything “anti-vaccine” with “misinformation”, which label they used euphemistically to mean any information, no matter how factual and well-grounded in science, that might cause people to question the wisdom of strictly complying with the vaccine recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

By this means, the study authors ludicrously equated advocacy of the right to informed consent with the propagation of “misinformation” about vaccines.

Ironically, while failing to provide any evidence to support their accusation against Children’s Health Defense, the study authors presented an example of an ad categorized as “pro-vaccine” that did misinform Facebook users. That ad promoted the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine as proven to prevent cancer even though—as the authors of a study published in January 2020 in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine pointed out—none of the clinical trials used by the manufacturers to obtain licensure were designed to determine the vaccine’s effectiveness against cervical cancer, and whether the vaccine prevents cancer remains unknown.

The authors of the Vaccine study, however, failed to identify that ad as having misled Facebook users—which is unsurprising since their effective definition of “misinformation” precluded them from doing so.

They also declared no conflicts of interest despite their study having been funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which itself develops vaccine technology and licenses it for use by pharmaceutical corporations. For example, the NIH patented technology that was sold under a co-exclusive license to Merck and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) for use in the development of their respective HPV vaccines.

While media reports about the Vaccine study characterized any discussion of corruption within the government and medical establishment as “conspiracy theory”, in fact, even the US Congress has acknowledged this problem within agencies like the CDC and Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the existence of pervasive corruption and conflicts of interest within the scientific community and the medical establishment is recognized in the medical literature as an uncontroversial fact.

Even more preposterously, media reports characterized so-called “anti-vaccine” groups as part of an “industry” that has “more resources” than public vaccine policy proponents. While one of the study’s authors acknowledged in an interview that these groups reached relatively large Facebook audiences in terms of just “a few thousand dollars” in ad spend, their own data showed that “pro-vaccine” ad buyers both bought more ads and collectively had higher budgets. A top “pro-vaccine” buyer, for example, appeared to have been the CDC, which ran “HPV Vaccine is Cancer Prevention” ads with budgets of up to $50,000.

Children’s Health Defense, in its efforts to combat government and media misinformation about vaccines and the erosion of our fundamental human rights, is standing up against the trillion-dollar global pharmaceutical industry, including a global vaccine market that’s estimated in the tens of billions of dollars.

In 2016, Big Pharma is estimated to have spent nearly $30 billion in marketing in the US, primarily targeting medical professionals, including through ads in peer-reviewed journals and direct-to-physician payments. Approximately $6 billion was spent on direct-to-consumer advertising, with pharmaceutical ads representing an estimated 8 percent of total ad revenue for major news networks like CBS, ABC, NBC, and CNN.

Additionally, the industry has been shifting its focus from television and print ads to online ads. Top beneficiaries of this shift include WebMD and Medscape, which Google often features in its “answer box” for health-related search queries. Facebook, too, has been competing for pharma ad dollars, by rolling out a new feature enabling pharmaceutical companies to promote their products with Facebook ads while remaining in compliance with regulations that require the disclosure of important safety information, which is accomplished by having the safety information appear in a scrolling section featured below the ad.

And, of course, with Big Pharma spending tens of millions of dollars lobbying Congress each year, it’s little wonder that we’ve seen efforts to censor information and eliminate choice. For example, Congressman Adam Schiff last year sent letters to the CEOs of Facebook, Google, and Amazon calling on these companies to do more to stop the spread of what he euphemistically called vaccine “misinformation”, by which he simply meant any information, no matter how factual, that could cause parents “to disregard the advice of their children’s physician and public health experts and decline to follow the recommended vaccination schedule.”

In adopting the same euphemistic use of language, the authors of the Vaccine study were simply following Congressman Schiff’s example—just as when the major media misinform the public about what the science tells us about vaccines, they are simply following the example set by the CDC.

In the face of efforts to manufacture consent for government policies through deceitful propaganda, censor truthful information about vaccines, and eliminate parents’ ability to meaningfully exercise their right to informed consent, Children’s Health Defense is on the front lines, speaking out and standing up for health freedom, including through litigation.

Unlike the authors of the Vaccine study, CHD is not funded by taxpayers’ dollars. Unlike the major media, it is also not funded by pharmaceutical ad dollars. Far from being backed by some powerful “industry”, CHD’s grassroots efforts would not be possible without the voluntary financial contributions of readers like you.

‘Truth’ with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.—Episode 4
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phKtjpyyoiM&feature=emb_logo)
June 12, 2020

Press in His Pocket: Bill Gates Buys Media to Control the Messaging


https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/09-02-20_Press-in-His-Pocket_Featured_Image-800x417.jpg


Editorial by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.,
Board Chair, Children’s Health Defense
September 03, 2020



A Columbia Journalism Review expose (https://www.cjr.org/criticism/gates-foundation-journalism-funding.php) reveals that, to control global journalism, Bill Gates has steered over $250 million to the BBC, NPR, NBC, Al Jazeera, ProPublica, National Journal, The Guardian, the New York Times, Univision, Medium, the Financial Times, The Atlantic, the Texas Tribune, Gannett, Washington Monthly, Le Monde, Center for Investigative Reporting, Pulitzer Center, National Press Foundation, International Center for Journalists, and a host of other groups. To conceal his influence, Gates also funneled unknown sums via subgrants (https://www.cjr.org/criticism/gates-foundation-journalism-funding.php) for contracts to other press outlets.

His press bribes have paid off. During the pandemic, bought and brain-dead news outlets have treated Bill Gates as a public health expert—despite his lack of medical training or regulatory experience.

Gates also funds an army of independent fact checkers including the Poynter Institute and Gannett (https://www.cjr.org/criticism/gates-foundation-journalism-funding.php) —which use their fact-checking platforms to “silence detractors” and to “debunk” as “false conspiracy theories” and “misinformation,” charges that Gates has championed and invested in biometric chips (https://worldwide.espacenet.com/patent/search/family/067396975/publication/WO2020060606A1?q=WO2020060606%20&queryLang=en%3Ade%3Afr), vaccine identification systems (https://vigilantcitizen.com/latestnews/bill-gates-calls-for-a-digital-certificate-to-identify-who-is-vaccinated/), satellite surveillance (https://returntonow.net/2020/03/24/bill-gates-backs-1-billion-plan-to-blanket-earth-in-video-surveillance-satellites/), and COVID vaccines (https://www.businessinsider.com/bill-gates-factories-7-different-vaccines-to-fight-coronavirus-2020-4?op=1).

Gates’s media gifts, says CJR author Tim Schwab, mean that “critical reporting about the Gates Foundation is rare (https://www.cjr.org/criticism/gates-foundation-journalism-funding.php).” The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation declined multiple interview requests from CJR and refused to disclose how much money it has funneled to journalists.

In 2007, the LA Times published one of the only critical investigations (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2007-jan-07-na-gatesx07-story.html) on the Gates Foundation, exposing Gates’s holdings in companies that hurt people his foundation claims to help, like industries linked to child labor. Lead reporter Charles Piller, says (https://www.cjr.org/criticism/gates-foundation-journalism-funding.php), “They were unwilling to answer questions and pretty much refused to respond in any sort of way…”

The investigation showed how Gates’s global health funding has steered the world’s aid agenda toward Gates’ personal goals (vaccines (https://www.gatesfoundation.org/Media-Center/Press-Releases/2010/01/Bill-and-Melinda-Gates-Pledge-$10-Billion-in-Call-for-Decade-of-Vaccines) and GMO crops (https://www.businessinsider.com/bill-gates-supports-gmos-reddit-ama-2018-2)) and away from issues such as emergency preparedness to respond to disease outbreaks, like the Ebola crisis.

“They’ve dodged our questions and sought to undermine our coverage,” says freelance journalist Alex Park after investigating the Gates Foundation’s polio vaccine efforts.

This is from the Daily Beast. Kennedy is in bed with some very ugly people.

If you're on Twitter and want to know more about Right-wing vigilantism in the US, you should follow Alexander Reid Ross @areidross

https://www.thedailybeast.com/rfk-jrs-latest-anti-vaxx-stunt-backed-by-weird-pro-qanon-german-group-querdenken-711

Inside the Weird Pro-QAnon German Group Behind RFK Jr.’s Latest Anti-Vaxx Stunt

They love QAnon and its JFK conspiracies—which makes Querdenken 711 a perfect partner for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his loony opposition to the COVID-19 vaccine.

Alexander Reid Ross (https://www.thedailybeast.com/author/alexander-reid-ross) Patricia Zhub
(https://www.thedailybeast.com/author/patricia-zhubi)
Last weekend, thousands of protesters took to the streets of Berlin to rail against the minimal health and safety restrictions put in place by the German government to curb the spread of COVID-19 (https://www.thedailybeast.com/merkel-gives-terrifying-warning-that-70-percent-of-germans-could-get-coronavirus). The rally, which was organized by the German group Querdenken 711—and which saw hundreds arrested for attempting to storm the parliament building, among other things—represented the ongoing rise of conspiracy theorists in Germany (https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-fringe-groups-are-using-qanon-to-amplify-their-wild-messages), particularly those affiliated with the QAnon cult. And Querdenken 711 had a very special anti-vaxxer guest at the rally: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-ex-wife-marla-maples-and-robert-f-kennedy-jr-push-wild-bill-gates-coronavirus-conspiracy), son of one of America’s most prominent political dynasties.
------------------------------------
Kennedy’s organization, Children’s Health Defense (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/government-corruption/gates-globalist-vaccine-agenda-a-win-win-for-pharma-and-mandatory-vaccination/) promotes the notion that COVID-19 health regulations support Bill Gates’s “globalist” agenda for mandatory vaccinations as part of a conspiracy led by Big Pharma. In a strange statement (https://truepundit.com/exclusive-robert-f-kennedy-jr-drops-bombshells-on-dr-fauci-for-medical-cover-ups-and-fraud-fauci-poisoned-an-entire-generation-of-americans/) to the podcast of TruePundit, spread on German QAnon channels, Kennedy insisted that Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, seeks to poison “an entire generation of Americans” with a COVID vaccine.
-------------------------------------
Kennedy took to Instagram to tell his followers that the far-right rally that tried to break into parliament had nothing to do with the protest he attended, and that there were absolutely no far-right activists or conspiracy theorists at his event. One of the photographs he himself uploaded appears to disprove his claim (https://www.instagram.com/p/CEkEzIZHaTx/), as there is a man with what seems to be a T-shirt referencing QAnon filming from before the press pit with a tripod just yards in front of him. QAnon channels have now switched to claiming that the so-called “storm on parliament” was a false flag. Kennedy played right into the narrative by calling the far-right attendants “agents provocateurs.”
-----------------------------------------
While Querdenken and Kennedy have not necessarily been forthcoming to media in the West, Kennedy did grant an interview to Russian media, on Aug. 29, published the next day. RT also published (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-u3H3PvebBU) parts of Kennedy’s speech to the rally. A leaked EU report (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/18/russian-media-spreading-covid-19-disinformation) states that “Pro-Kremlin media outlets have been prominent in spreading disinformation about the coronavirus, with the aim to aggravate the public health crisis in western countries, specifically by undermining public trust in national healthcare systems.”
------------------------------------------
Admiration for Kennedy and hatred for Gates connects QAnon conspiracy theorists, far-right extremists and the more mainstream corners of anti-COVID activism. Kennedy’s interview, “Perspectives on the Pandemic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsMQyX-xHo4&feature=emb_title)” has been widely shared by Querdenken activists. Anti-Bill-Gates shirts and signs are a common sight at Querdenken protests. Ballweg—a tech entrepreneur and self-styled apolitical freedom activist—denies (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-53964147) any connection between the event featuring Kennedy and the group that attempted to break into the parliament building in the wake of Querdenken’s protest, but the speeches he’s been giving throughout the summer seem to tell a different story (https://rechtsaussen.berlin/2020/08/nicht-jetzt-erst-rechts/).

At the first large protest in Berlin on Aug. 1, Ballweg cited the QAnon slogan, "Where we go one, we go all" in front of a cheering crowd. At the same event, he was photographed talking to Nikolai Nerling, a former primary school teacher who was convicted for incitement (https://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/dachau/dachau-amtsgericht-volkslehrer-volksverhetzung-urteil-1.4717075) by a German court after denying the Holocaust in front of students at the concentration camp memorial in Dachau. Nerling would later film himself jumping over the barricades in front of the parliament building.

RFK Jr. Speaking at Berlin Anti-Lockdown Protest

August 30, 2020

By NEWS WIRE

(https://21stcenturywire.com/author/21wire/)

Yesterday, American lawyer and health freedom campaigner Robert F. Kennedy Jr (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/). spoke to an anti-lockdown protest crowd of at least 100,000 in Berlin, Germany. Kennedy spoke about the governments’ subservience to the transnational pharmaceutical industry, the problem with the 5G roll-out for surveillance and data harvesting, the tyranny of the digital currency being pushed by the World Economic Forum, Bill Gates and Microsoft and others. Other speakers called for the federal government to resign.

“The pandemic is a crisis of convenience for the elites who are dictating these policies,” said Kennedy to a roaring crowd.

“Governments love pandemics. They love pandemics for the same reason that they love war, because it gives them the ability to impose controls on the population that the population would otherwise never accept – by making institutions and mechanism for orchestrating and imposing obedience.”


“Once again, Berlin is the frontline against global totalitarianism!”



Watch his historic address to the people of Germany:

https://www.waccobb.net/forums/images/youtube.png (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RloipY83ljg&feature=emb_logo)

Robert F. Kennedy Junior Berlin 29.08.2020 [ganze Rede]!!!

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RloipY83ljg&feature=emb_logo)

Of course, you will not open ^this link^ of the actual speech of Robert F. Kennedy in Berlin, Richard/geomancer, will you ? You can't "pollute " your pure mind with such things, as you have often informed us. Still, I challenge you to do so. See if you see signs of Nazism in the crowd. I don't doubt that there were a few Q-cult symps in the mix; but so what? How are you going to keep them away when you've got a crowd?

Alexander Reid Ross does state the following: "Admiration for Kennedy and hatred for Gates connects QAnon conspiracy theorists, far-right extremists and the more mainstream corners of anti-COVID activism." -Which implies that there is a strata of folks who are "more mainstream" who hold to the same - or similar - positions about ol' Bill Gates as do the Q-Cult volkens. Nevertheless his argument is just the classical 'guilt-by-association' rap.

Journalism’s Gates keepers

By Tim Schwab (https://www.cjr.org/author/tim-schwab)<small>
Columbia Journalism Review (https://www.cjr.org/criticism/gates-foundation-journalism-funding.php)
August 21, 2020
</small>

<small>
</small>Last August, NPR (https://www.npr.org/2019/08/05/747610085/in-seattle-a-move-across-town-could-be-a-path-out-of-poverty) profiled a Harvard-led experiment to help low-income families find housing in wealthier neighborhoods, giving their children access to better schools and an opportunity to “break the cycle of poverty.” According to researchers cited in the article, these children could see $183,000 greater earnings over their lifetimes—a striking forecast for a housing program still in its experimental stage.

If you squint as you read the story, you’ll notice that every quoted expert is connected to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which helps fund the project. And if you’re really paying attention, you’ll also see the editor’s note at the end of the story, which reveals that NPR itself receives funding from Gates.

NPR’s funding from Gates “was not a factor in why or how we did the story,” reporter Pam Fessler says, adding that her reporting went beyond the voices quoted in her article. The story, nevertheless, is one of hundreds NPR has reported about the Gates Foundation or the work it funds, including myriad favorable pieces written from the perspective of Gates or its grantees.

And that speaks to a larger trend—and ethical issue—with billionaire philanthropists’ bankrolling the news. The Broad Foundation, whose philanthropic agenda includes promoting charter schools, at one point funded part of the LA Times’ (https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/2015/10/29/fd03d240-79cc-11e5-b9c1-f03c48c96ac2_story.html)reporting on education. Charles Koch has made charitable donations to journalistic institutions such as the Poynter Institute, as well as to news organizations such as the Daily Caller News Foundation, that support his conservative politics. And the Rockefeller Foundation funds Vox’s Future Perfect (https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2020/2/11/21133298/bill-gates-melinda-gates-money-foundation), a reporting project that examines the world “through the lens of effective altruism” (https://www.voxmedia.com/about-vox-media/2018/10/15/17969758/vox-future-perfect)—often looking at philanthropy.

As philanthropists increasingly fill in the funding gaps at news organizations—a role that is almost certain to expand in the media downturn following the coronavirus pandemic—an underexamined worry is how this will affect the ways newsrooms report on their benefactors. Nowhere does this concern loom larger than with the Gates Foundation, a leading donor to newsrooms and a frequent subject of favorable news coverage.

I recently examined nearly twenty thousand charitable grants the Gates Foundation had made through the end of June and found more than $250 million going toward journalism. Recipients included news operations like the BBC, NBC, Al Jazeera, ProPublica, National Journal, The Guardian, Univision, Medium, the Financial Times, The Atlantic, the Texas Tribune, Gannett, Washington Monthly, Le Monde, and the Center for Investigative Reporting; charitable organizations affiliated with news outlets, like BBC Media Action and the New York Times’ Neediest Cases Fund; media companies such as Participant, whose documentary Waiting for “Superman” supports Gates’s agenda on charter schools; journalistic organizations such as the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, the National Press Foundation, and the International Center for Journalists; and a variety of other groups creating news content or working on journalism, such as the Leo Burnett Company, an ad agency that Gates commissioned to create a “news site” to promote the success of aid groups. In some cases, recipients say they distributed part of the funding as subgrants to other journalistic organizations—which makes it difficult to see the full picture of Gates’s funding into the fourth estate.

The foundation even helped fund a 2016 report (https://www.americanpressinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/The-ethical-terrain-of-nonprofit-journalism.pdf)from the American Press Institute that was used to develop guidelines (https://www.americanpressinstitute.org/publications/nonprofit-funding-guidance/) on how newsrooms can maintain editorial independence from philanthropic funders. A top-level finding: “There is little evidence that funders insist on or have any editorial review.” Notably, the study’s underlying survey data showed that nearly a third of funders reported having seen at least some content they funded before publication.

Gates’s generosity appears to have helped foster an increasingly friendly media environment for the world’s most visible charity. Twenty years ago, journalists scrutinized Bill Gates’s initial foray into philanthropy as a vehicle (https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB1029180416481589035) to enrich his software company, or a PR exercise (https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/1999/aug/25/guardianleaders1) to salvage his battered reputation following Microsoft’s bruising antitrust battle with the Department of Justice. Today, the foundation is most often the subject of soft profiles and glowing editorials describing its good works.

During the pandemic, news outlets have widely looked to Bill Gates as a public health expert on covid—even though Gates has no medical training and is not a public official. PolitiFact (https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/may/14/facebook-posts/no-evidence-gates-foundation-will-profit-coronavir/) and USA Today (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/05/14/fact-check-anthony-fauci-bill-gates-wont-profit-remdesivir/3120063001/) (run by the Poynter Institute and Gannett, respectively—both of which have received funds from the Gates Foundation) have even used their fact-checking platforms to defend Gates from “false conspiracy theories” and “misinformation,” like the idea that the foundation has financial investments in companies developing covid vaccines and therapies. In fact, the foundation’s website and most recent tax forms clearly show investments in such companies, including Gilead (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/22/health/gilead-remdesivir-coronavirus-nebulizer.html) and CureVac (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/15/world/europe/cornonavirus-vaccine-us-germany.html).

In the same way that the news media has given Gates an outsize voice in the pandemic, the foundation has long used its charitable giving to shape the public discourse on everything from global health to education to agriculture—a level of influence that has landed Bill Gates on Forbes (https://www.forbes.com/powerful-people/list/)’s list of the most powerful people in the world. The Gates Foundation can point to important charitable accomplishments over the past two decades—like helping drive down polio and putting new funds into fighting malaria—but even these efforts have drawn expert detractors who say that Gates may actually be introducing harm (https://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/04/health/04mala.html), or distracting (https://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/01/health/01polio.html) us from more important, lifesaving public health projects.

From virtually any of Gates’s good deeds, reporters can also find problems with the foundation’s outsize power (https://www.thenation.com/article/society/bill-gates-foundation-philanthropy/), if they choose to look. But readers don’t hear these critical voices in the news as often or as loudly as Bill and Melinda’s. News about Gates these days is often filtered through the perspectives of the many academics, nonprofits, and think tanks that Gates funds. Sometimes it is delivered to readers by newsrooms with financial ties to the foundation.

The Gates Foundation declined multiple interview requests for this story and would not provide its own accounting of how much money it has put toward journalism.

In response to questions sent via email, a spokesperson for the foundation said that a “guiding principle” of its journalism funding is “ensuring creative and editorial independence.” The spokesperson also noted that, because of financial pressures in journalism, many of the issues the foundation works on “do not get the in-depth, consistent media coverage they once did.… When well-respected media outlets have an opportunity to produce coverage of under-researched and under-reported issues, they have the power to educate the public and encourage the adoption and implementation of evidence-based policies in both the public and private sectors.”

As CJR was finalizing its fact check of this article, the Gates Foundation offered a more pointed response: “Recipients of foundation journalism grants have been and continue to be some of the most respected journalism outlets in the world.… The line of questioning for this story implies that these organizations have compromised their integrity and independence by reporting on global health, development, and education with foundation funding. We strongly dispute this notion.”

The foundation’s response also volunteered other ties it has to the news media, including “participating in dozens of conferences, such as the Perugia Journalism Festival (https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.journalismfestival.com%2Fspeaker%2Fmiguel-castro&data=02%7C01%7CKaren.Lowry.Miller%40gatesfoundation.org%7C514067cfca8844c3130008d821baf490%7C296b38384bd5496cbd4bf456ea743b74%7C0%7C0%7C63729643417642 0996&sdata=QMSRaOutdrunElXoeDEpAeJxh5%2BOMm3yWZWeAhO2h2o%3D&reserved=0), the Global Editors Network (https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gensummit.org%2Fspeakers%2Fmiguel-castro%2F&data=02%7C01%7CKaren.Lowry.Miller%40gatesfoundation.org%7C514067cfca8844c3130008d821baf490%7C296b38384bd5496cbd4bf456ea743b74%7C0%7C0%7C63729643417643 0989&sdata=wQY5wDUIRLcoYNZEnqrlUfsxjKHyLliARQY%2BC2oNPww%3D&reserved=0), or the World Conference of Science Journalism,” (https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wcsj2019.eu%2FSessions%2FPhilanthropy---a-savior-for-journalism...-or-a-dead-end%253F&data=02%7C01%7CKaren.Lowry.Miller%40gatesfoundation.org%7C514067cfca8844c3130008d821baf490%7C296b38384bd5496cbd4bf456ea743b74%7C0%7C0%7C63729643417643 0989&sdata=G2epYfbTru8bhmvZQqI%2BCl7pf3L4%2Foz1GgID4wusbO4%3D&reserved=0) as well as “help build capacity through the likes of the Innovation in Development Reporting fund (https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjournalismgrants.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7CKaren.Lowry.Miller%40gatesfoundation.org%7C514067cfca8844c3130008d821baf490%7C296b38384bd5496cbd4bf456ea743b74%7C0%7C1%7C63729643417654 0926&sdata=KpdfliweUgmim5ctsHRVmW%2BgjB6m%2B%2FeFIEEFKiTsZTo%3D&reserved=0).”

The full scope of Gates’s giving to the news media remains unknown because the foundation only publicly discloses money awarded through charitable grants, not through contracts. In response to questions, Gates only disclosed one contract—[I]Vox (https://www.vox.com/ad/17846116/human-capital-africa-education-world-population)’s (https://www.vox.com/ad/17846116/human-capital-africa-education-world-population)—but did describe how some of this contract money is spent: producing sponsored content, and occasionally funding “non-media nonprofit entities to support efforts such as journalist trainings, media convenings, and attendance at events.”

In the same way that the news media has given Gates an outsize voice in the pandemic, the foundation has long used its charitable giving to shape the public discourse on everything from global health to education to agriculture.

Over the years, reporters have investigated the apparent blind spots in how the news media covers the Gates Foundation, though such reflective reporting has waned in recent years. In 2015, Vox (https://www.vox.com/2015/6/10/8760199/gates-foundation-criticism) ran an article examining the widespread uncritical journalistic coverage surrounding the foundation—coverage that comes even as many experts and scholars raise red flags. Vox didn’t cite Gates’s charitable giving to newsrooms as a contributing factor, nor did it address Bill Gates’s month-long stint as guest editor for The Verge, a Vox subsidiary, earlier that year. Still, the news outlet did raise critical questions about journalists’ tendency to cover the Gates Foundation as a dispassionate charity instead of a structure of power.

Five years earlier, in 2010, CJR (https://www.cjr.org/the_observatory/how_ray_suarez_really_caught_t.php) published a two-part series that examined, in part, the millions of dollars going toward PBS NewsHour, which it found to reliably avoid critical reporting on Gates.

As philanthropists increasingly fill in the funding gaps at news organizations—a role that is almost certain to expand in the media downturn following the coronavirus pandemic—an underexamined worry is how this will affect the ways newsrooms report on their benefactors. boy is that true. So, what's the alternative? I don't demonize the philanthropists, though I may not support their politics. I sort-of trust them to keep at arm's length, and I know who they are. I'm grateful that Bezos is keeping the Washington Post alive; at least one thing he's doing is beneficial to the world. Can't say that for the rest of his business, IMHO. The biggest problem with these media moguls is that we're getting homogenization, and the economies of scale are squeezing out many more unique or at least relevant voices. We'll see if the various disasters, from covid to global warming to political insanity, is creating an economy where only the big players can survive at all. That to me is the story, not some imagined malevolent conspiracy hiding behind the philanthropy of the winners.

Robert F. Kennedy - transcript of the historic speech in Berlin
on August 28th, 2020
(https://www.abscondo.com/abscondo/2020/08/robert-f-kennedy-transcript-of-the-historic-speech-in-berlin-on-august-28th-2020-text-quotes.html)


"Back at home, in the United States, the newspapers are saying that I came here today to speak to about 5,000 Nazis. Tomorrow, they are going to report that, yes, I was here, that I spoke to maybe 3,000 to 5,000 Nazis.

But I look at this crowd and I see the opposite of Nazism. I see people who love democracy—people who want open government, people who want leaders who are not going to lie to them, people who want leaders who will not make up arbitrary rules and regulations to orchestrate the obedience of the population.

We want health officials who don’t have financial entanglements with the pharmaceutical industry—who are working for us. We want officials who care about our children’s health, and not about pharmaceutical profits or government control.

I look in this crowd, I see all the flags of Europe. I see people of every color, I see people from every nation, every religion—all caring about human dignity, about children’s health, about love of freedom—this is the opposite of Nazism.

[Extend Cheers from Crowd ]

The governments love pandemics. They love pandemics for the same reason they love war. It gives them the ability to impose controls on the population that the population would otherwise never accept—creating institutions and mechanisms for orchestrating and imposing obedience.

I will tell you something: it is a mystery to me, how all these big, important people like Bill Gates and Tony Fauci were planning and thinking about this pandemic for decades—planning it so that we would all be safe when the pandemic finally came. And yet, now that it is here, they don’t seem to know what they are talking about.

They cannot tell you what the case fatality rate for COVID is, that’s basic. They cannot give us a PCR test that actually works. They don’t have—they have to change the definition of COVID on the death certificates, constantly, to make it look more and more dangerous. The one thing they are good at is pumping up fear.

75 years ago, Hermann Göring testified at the Nuremberg Trials. He was asked, “How did you make the German people go along with all this?” And he said, “It’s not anything to do with Nazism. It has to do with human nature. You can do this in a Nazi regime. You can do it in a Socialist regime. You can do it in a Communist regime. You can do it in a monarchy or a democracy. The only thing the government needs to make people into slaves is fear.”

50 years ago, my uncle John Kennedy came to this city because Berlin was the frontline against global totalitarianism. And today again, Berlin is the frontline against global totalitarianism. He proudly said to the people of Germany, “Ich bin ein Berliner.” All of us who are here today can proudly say once again, “Ich bin ein Berliner.” We are the frontline against totalitarianism.

And to say one more thing: they have done a very good job of not protecting public health, but they have done a very good job using the quarantine to bring 5G in and are in the process to shifting us all to a digital currency—which is the beginning of slavery. Because if they control your bank account, they control your behavior. And we all see these advertisements on television, saying 5G is a great thing coming to you, it’s gonna change your lives and make all your lives better. It sounds very convincing, I have to say. As I look at those ads and I think, that’s great, I can hardly wait until it gets here. Because I will be able to download a video game in 6 seconds instead of 16 seconds. Is that why they are spending $5 trillion on 5G?

No, it’s not for you and me. It’s for Bill Gates, it’s for Zuckerberg. Bill Gates says that his satellite fleet will be able to look at every square inch of the planet 24 hours a day. That’s only the beginning. He hopes to be able to follow you through all of your smart devices, facial recognition, GPS. You think that Alexa is working for you? She isn’t working for you. She’s working for Bill Gates, spying on you.

And the pandemic is a crisis of convenience—for the elites who are dictating these policies. It gives them the ability to obliterate the middle class, to destroy the institutions of democracy, to shift all of our wealth, from all of us, to a handful of billionaires to make themselves rich by impoverishing the rest of us. And the only thing that’s between them and our children is this crowd who has come to Berlin.

We are going to show them! We are going to demand our democracy back! Thank you very much for fighting!"

...Regarding "The Daily Beast"..


On September 10, 1919, the "Daily Beast" - Internet equivalent of the Tabloids that one sees at the checkout stands in Supermarkets all across Amerika & Internet equivalent of the London Gutter Press, published the following:

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal (https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-mind-of-bill-gates-revealed-on-netflix-11568107801), Bill Gates insisted he didn’t have a “business relationship or friendship” with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, but met with him because he knew “a lot of rich people.” Gates acknowledged that he met Epstein but said “every meeting where I was with him were meetings with men.” “I didn’t go to New Mexico or Florida or Palm Beach or any of that,” he told the newspaper. “There were people around him who were saying, hey, if you want to raise money for global health and get more philanthropy, he knows a lot of rich people.” “He never donated any money to anything that I know about,” Gates added.

A New Yorker article published after the interview took place reported that Epstein directed a $2 million donation by Gates to MIT’s Media Lab. “Any claim that Epstein directed any programmatic or personal grantmaking for Bill Gates is completely false,” a spokesperson for Gates told the Journal.

This little dangle of a Summary - which was published at the Daily Beast on September 10, 1919 - may have been an attempt at shaking down William Henry Gates the Third. This is something that sleazy Journals have been known to do. Because, when a Tabloid like the "Daily Beast" - which has been taking the Jeffrey Epstein / Ghislaine Maxwell spectacle to town - publishes a dangle like this, focusing on one single, salacious aspect of the article in the Wall Street Journal, you may be sure that they are signalling to Bill Gates that:

A. They know a little more about the topic than they are telling at the moment.
B. They are perfectly willing and able to spill it...
C. They might be willing and able to make a deal - for a price...

So- My Question Is : "Was there a Pay-off ?" Evidence to that effect plays out here:

COVID’s Deadly Toll on Youth: A Sharp Rise in Suicides


Young people may be the least likely to get sick from COVID, but the impact of lockdowns
and school closures has created an alarming spike in suicides among children and teens.


By

Megan Redshaw, J.D. (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/authors/megan-redshaw/)

Beth Giuffre (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/authors/beth-giuffre/)




https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/covid-youth-suicide-feature-800x417.jpg



Almost one year after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender_category/covid/), one of the worst consequences may not be directly caused by the virus, but rather by school closures, isolation and lockdown measures that have sent the suicide rate among children in the U.S. and other countries surging (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7500342/#bib0030).

Since the pandemic began in March of 2020 and schools closed their doors, reports of suicidal thoughts, attempts and cries for help among children have increased significantly (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6945a3.htm) across the nation, according to numerous studies and media reports.

As the New York Times reported (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/24/us/politics/student-suicides-nevada-coronavirus.html) earlier this month, between March 16 and Dec. 31, 2020, 18 suicides were reported in Clark County, Nevada — more than double what the district experienced the prior year. The Clark County school district also received more than 3,100 alerts via an early warning system set up by the district in July to monitor the mental health episodes of its students.

“When we started to see the uptick in children taking their lives, we knew it wasn’t just the COVID numbers we need to look at anymore,” the Clark County district’s superintendent, Jesus Jara, told the Times.

In the Texas metropolitan area researchers analyzed the results (https://www.aappublications.org/news/2020/12/16/pediatricssuicidestudy121620) of 12,827 teens who completed a suicide risk screening, and found that 3.5% of those screened reported suicidal thoughts or behaviors.

A national survey (https://www.chegg.org/covid-19-mental-health-2020) of 1,000 currently enrolled high school and college students conducted jointly by two organizations — Chegg.org (https://www.chegg.org/), a national advocacy, fundraising and student research group, and the Born This Way Foundation (https://bornthisway.foundation/), which focuses on supporting the emotional and mental health of adolescents — found that 5% of the students (https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/938065#vp_2) reported having made a suicide attempt during the pandemic.

A recent Washington Post article (https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/11/23/covid-pandemic-rise-suicides/) highlighted the pandemic’s effect on the already alarming suicide trend among teens and young adults, which increased 56% between 2007 and 2018.

According to an August 2020 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) survey (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6932a1.htm#T2_down) on the pandemic’s impact on mental and emotional health, the youngest people surveyed reported experiencing the highest rates of anxiety, depression and other mental health problems. Three in four reported struggling with at least one mental health issue, according to the CDC.

This coincides with a November report (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6945a3.htm) by the CDC that analyzed emergency room visits in children under 18 during the pandemic. Results showed that although the number of overall emergency room visits fell during 2020, the number of mental health-related visits increased. Data analyzed from the CDC’s National Syndromic Surveillance Program from Jan. 1 through Oct. 17, 2020, and compared to the same period in 2019 showed a 31% increase in mental health issues among adolescents 12 – 17-years-old.

An article by NPR (https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/01/18/953581851/ive-tried-everything-pandemic-has-cut-options-for-kids-with-mental-illness) sheds light on the CDC findings. Not only are doctors seeing more emergency room visits for mental health issues, but more children are waiting in emergency departments for in-patient care. This is due to the lack of outpatient services during the pandemic, a shortage of psychiatrists and therapists trained to work with children and school closures. Even if a child can get care, they may not be able to obtain follow-up care near their home, Dr. C.J. Glawe, who leads the Psychiatric Crisis Department at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, told NPR.

The authors of a letter to the Elsevier Public Health Emergency Coalition (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7500342/#bib0030) summarizing some of the latest research on the pandemic’s impact on mental health point out that the pandemic has forced students from inside the classroom and outside with their friends, to remote learning and isolation within their homes. Children now attend classes online and spend the remainder of their time watching TV or on the internet. Many have faced the cancellation of sports, prom and graduation, experienced the loss of loved ones from the disease, and face undue stress and uncertainty about their futures.

The cumulative effect of all of these losses can lead to psycho-social problems, such as “internet addiction, lower self-esteem and low interest in physical activities,” the authors said, adding that “cyberbullying and anxiety while on social networking platforms, have also taken their toll on their mental health.”

The media is taking note. As the New York Times reported (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/24/us/politics/student-suicides-nevada-coronavirus.html), a 14-year-old boy killed himself in Maryland because he had “given up” when his school district did not open in the fall. An 11-year-old boy shot himself during a zoom class, and a teenager in Maine succumbed to the isolation of the pandemic. Anthony Orr, 18, drove his car into a parking lot and ended his life in August after experiencing a disrupted senior year.

Jara told the Times that Clark County’s youngest victim, only 9, left a note saying he had nothing to look forward to.

When schools didn’t open in the fall, parents began to speak out. Brad Hunstable told the Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/11/23/covid-pandemic-rise-suicides/) he believes COVID killed his son by driving him to the point where he made an “impulsive act that he could not take back.” His school had closed, he couldn’t play sports and his only connection to friends was through a game called Fortnite. Hunstable urged other parents to talk openly with their children about mental health and founded a nonprofit encouraging schools to do the same.

According to the Post, some parents and experts are concerned school districts are not doing enough to reach out to students, that there is not enough funding being directed towards mental health and the government is not taking this “side-effect” of the pandemic seriously.

Although statistics for the 2020 year have not yet been compiled, professionals speculate (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/mental-health-system-fails-kids-covid/) the rising suicide rate among children is due to not having access to mental health services in schools, school closures, hopelessness, increased anxiety and stress, and students feeling disconnected from their peers.

Other countries with strict lockdowns and school closures are seeing similar rises in suicides. LaCorte News reported (https://www.lacortenews.com/n/australia-projects-more-suicides-from-lockdowns-than-coronavirus-deaths) that Ian Hickie, Australia’s former health commissioner and head of the Brain and Mind Centre, projected the number of annual deaths by suicide in Australia will rise from 3,000 to up to 4,500, with young people comprising nearly half that number.

In the UK, suicide and injury or poisoning of undetermined intent was the leading cause of death for both males and females ages 20 to 34 before the pandemic, according to an Office for National Statistics report (https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/causesofdeath/articles/leadingcausesofdeathuk/2001to2018) covering the years 2001 to 2018.

“Suicide is already the leading cause of death in young people in England,” Ellen Townsend, a psychology professor at the University of Nottingham told Express (https://www.express.co.uk/comment/expresscomment/1391411/coronavirus-latest-children-mental-health-school-closures-lockdown), “and we need to prioritise them now to prevent further tragedy. Policy makers must do what is right by children and get them back to normal as soon as possible…”

Townsend added that the loneliness from English lockdowns is as damaging to health as smoking and obesity and is directly associated with suicidal thinking.

She said “Generation Lockdown” will suffer unnecessarily for years to come. “It is incontrovertible that young people are suffering overwhelming harm to their mental health in this crisis.”
