Revised and Expanded: Do Not Be Agitated by the Fearmongers: Pray to Our Lady to See the World Clearly Through the Supernatural Eyes of the True Faith
Those of you who have read each of the twelve articles comprising the “Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus series (part one, part two, part three, part four, part five, part six, part seven, part eight, part nine, part ten, part eleven, part twelve--THE END) have no need of another massive study on facts that have been fully corroborated by now. However, massive studies have their place in the larger scheme of things, and I have always written for the long-term, which is why I refuse all entreaties to succumb to the contemporary need for “sound bites.” Thus, fasten your seat belts as another massive study is here for you to peruse.
I. Introduction
However, given the fact that our statist minders are now moving into the next phase of their totalitarian plans to claim that “resurgence” of the CCP/Wuhan/China/Chinese/Covid-19/Coronavirus requires all employees to impose “vaccine mandates” for employees and new “mitigation” measures that might result in another shutdown of the economy in a few months (see Kamala Harris telling people to start buying Christmas presents), I thought it appropriate to prepare this long study to present a summary of the basic facts and some additional documentation about the ongoing scheme to impose a not-so-“soft” “show me your papers, please” totalitarianism as part of the Faustian bargain, “your liberty or your life.”
II. Social Control, Not “Public Health”
First, as Dr. Joseph Mercola noted recently, the whole plandemic is about social control and is premised upon bald-faced lies that have nothing to do with public health. The whole scheme is designed to divide the populace into the “vaccinated” and the “unvaccinated,” thereby creating another layer of “villains” for the “woke” crowd to pillory at what can be called the cyber-stockades, adding to the ideology of hatred and resentment that has been stirred up by the adversary to divide people over their race, ethnicity, wealth and/or political preference, to say nothing about the adversary’s hatred for the true religion, Catholicism, which is not the same thing as conciliarism.
Dr. Mercola does not see things quite this way, but a recent article does attest to the reason why “vaccine passports” are becoming a reality that will be accepted just as surely as were the masks and “social distancing” last year:
- New York City is implementing vaccine passport rules to enter certain venues, thereby discriminating against minorities and people of color
- As of August 2, 2021, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data showed 59% of Americans who had received at least one COVID injection were Caucasian, 16% were Hispanic, 10% Black, 6% Asian and only 1% were Native American or Alaska Native
- When a vaccine, like the COVID shot, fails to fully prevent infection, it can promote the creation and transmission of more virulent pathogens
- CDC has confirmed fully vaccinated individuals who contract the infection have as high a viral load as unvaccinated individuals who get infected, which proves there’s no difference between the two, in terms of being a transmission risk. If vaccinated individuals can be infected, carry the virus and cause it to mutate, and then transmit it to others, how does proof of vaccination promote public safety?
- Would-be totalitarian rulers know how to use fear to induce mass psychosis, where people can no longer think rationally and act out of primal fear. They then offer to restore safety and order, but to do that, everyone must forfeit their personal freedom. The creation of safety through forfeiture of freedom is what vaccine passports are all about
The video above is a 15-minute outtake from Joe Rogan’s podcast episode #1693,1 in which he interviews Evan Hafer, a special forces veteran who founded Black Rifle Coffee Company and hosts the Free Range American podcast.
In this clip, Rogan lets his opinions rip on vaccine passports, COVID “vaccinations” and breakthrough cases. He points out the obvious irony of New York City’s new passport rules. While the democratic leadership claims to want to protect people of color and immigrants, these are the very groups that reject the COVID shots the most.
As of August 2, 2021, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data reported by the Kaiser Family Foundation2 showed 59% of Americans who had received at least one COVID injection were Caucasian, 10% were Black, 16% Hispanic, 6% Asian and only 1% were American Indian or Alaska Native.
So, now New York is actively discriminating against minorities in the name of public safety, and people are actually applauding this as a good thing. “It’s madness,” Rogan exclaims. Meanwhile, science shows us that everything our public health officials are doing is wrong.
Leaky Vaccines Drive Mutations
For example, Rogan cites 2015 research3 showing that nonsterilizing vaccination — meaning when a vaccine fails to fully prevent infection, also known as a leaky vaccine — can promote the creation and transmission of more virulent pathogens. As explained by the authors:4
“There is a theoretical expectation that some types of vaccines could prompt the evolution of more virulent (‘hotter’) pathogens. This idea follows from the notion that natural selection removes pathogen strains that are so ‘hot’ that they kill their hosts and, therefore, themselves.
Vaccines that let the hosts survive but do not prevent the spread of the pathogen relax this selection, allowing the evolution of hotter pathogens to occur. This type of vaccine is often called a leaky vaccine. When vaccines prevent transmission, as is the case for nearly all vaccines used in humans, this type of evolution towards increased virulence is blocked.
But when vaccines leak, allowing at least some pathogen transmission, they could create the ecological conditions that would allow hot strains to emerge and persist.
This theory proved highly controversial when it was first proposed over a decade ago, but here we report experiments with Marek’s disease virus in poultry that show that modern commercial leaky vaccines can have precisely this effect: they allow the onward transmission of strains otherwise too lethal to persist.
Thus, the use of leaky vaccines can facilitate the evolution of pathogen strains that put unvaccinated hosts at greater risk of severe disease.”
The COVID shots, which do not provide you with immune protection against the virus but, rather, only lessen symptoms of infection, are a perfect example of leaky vaccines that can allow the virus to mutate within the mildly ill host, who then transmits the mutated virus to others. In this way, the COVID shots can fuel a never-ending chain of outbreaks.
Vaccine Passports Cannot Protect Public Health
If vaccinated individuals can be infected, carry the virus and transmit it to others, what good is proof of vaccination? Vaccinated people obviously are no less likely to spread the infection than unvaccinated people, so why is the liberty to freely participate in society being removed from the unvaccinated? It’s completely irrational.
Since there is no medical logic behind their use, vaccine passports must have some other unspoken function, and indeed they do. They’re an essential part of a massive control mechanism. Right now, you can’t go places unless you’ve gotten your required one or two doses of COVID injection.
You can be sure that once a third dose is recommended, your passport will become invalid until or unless you get that third booster. This will be repeated once there’s a fourth booster, and a fifth, and anything that gets added after that.
The requirement you must fulfill in order to maintain a valid passport could be literally anything. We also know that these vaccine passports can serve as a platform for all sorts of other interconnected things, such as your personal identification, your medical records, financial records, government assistance, employment records and much more, so restricting your access to restaurants could eventually become the least of your problems.
You might not be able to access your bank account. You might not be let into your job. You might be denied medical attention or government assistance. So, Rogan is correct when he says the vaccine passport is one step away from dictatorship, and history has repeatedly shown that dictatorships cannot thrive. They breed misery and spoil both talent and opportunity.
Do Not Exchange Your Freedoms for a False Sense of Security
Only when people are free to do as they please, when they’re free to express their creativity, do you end up with a superpower and cultural phenomenon as the United States. We are now looking at the end of what was once the United States of America, unless enough people wake up to reality and push back.
An argument vaccine passport pushers like to use is that “spreading a lethal infection isn’t a human right,” therefore, proving you’ve been vaccinated is not an unreasonable request if you want to participate in society. Likewise, they insist that going to restaurants isn’t a human right, nor is airline travel, staying at hotels or going to gyms. CNN anchor Don Lemon doesn’t even think buying groceries falls within the scope of being a human right.
Freedom is the absence of necessity, coercion or constraint in choice or action; unrestricted use; the quality or state of being exempt from something onerous; privilege; liberation from restraint or from the power of another; independence.
The problem with those arguments is that a) COVID-19 isn’t a lethal infection for most people,5 b) it’s an infection that is just as easily spread by vaccinated people,6,7 so both groups confer the same risk, c) outbreaks occur in populations where everyone is fully vaccinated,8 d) there are effective treatments if you do contract the infection,9 e) it’s virtually impossible to eradicate human respiratory viruses that have animal reservoirs, no matter what you do,10 f) discriminating based on vaccination status is no different than discriminating based on other medical conditions, g) it violates the very definition of freedom upon which this Constitutional Republic was built. . . .
Are We in a Pandemic of the Unvaccinated?
According to the official narrative, we’re now in a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” with 99% of COVID-19 deaths and 95% of COVID-related hospitalizations occurring among those who have not received the COVID jab. That, however, is absolute propaganda based on profoundly serious manipulation of old data.
To achieve those statistics, the CDC included hospitalization and mortality data from January through June 2021. It does not include more recent data or data related to the Delta variant, which is now the most prevalent strain in circulation. The problem is, the vast majority of the United States population was unvaccinated during that timeframe.
January 1, 2021, only 0.5% of the U.S. population had received a COVID shot. By mid-April, an estimated 31% had received one or more shots,12 and as of June 30, 46.9% were “fully vaccinated.”13 Keep in mind the CDC does not consider you “fully vaccinated” until two weeks after your second dose (in the case of Pfizer or Moderna), which is given six weeks after your first shot.
By using statistics from a time period when the U.S. as a whole was largely unvaccinated, the CDC is now claiming we’re in a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” in an effort to demonize those who still have not agreed to receive this experimental injection.
When you look at more recent and emerging data, you can see an opposite trend. In Israel, data show half of all COVID-19 infections are now among the fully vaccinated,14 85% to 90% of COVID-related hospitalizations are among the fully vaccinated and the fully vaccinated also account for 95% of severely ill COVID-19 patients.15
In Scotland, official data on hospitalizations and deaths show 87% of those who have died from COVID-19 in the third wave that began in early July 2021 were vaccinated,16 and in the U.S., a CDC investigation of an outbreak in Massachusetts between July 6 through July 25, 2021, revealed 80% of COVID-related hospitalizations were among the fully vaccinated.17,18
The CDC also confirmed that fully vaccinated individuals who contract the infection have as high a viral load in their nasal passages as unvaccinated individuals who get infected, which proves there’s no difference between the two, in terms of being a transmission risk.19
So, again, if vaccination status has no bearing on the potential risk you pose to others, what do we need the passports for? They’re useless, as passengers on Carnival cruise lines recently experienced. There was an outbreak of COVID-19 onboard despite every last person having been “vaccinated.”20 The same thing happened onboard the fully vaccinated HMS Queen Elizabeth, a British Navy flagship.21
Unify for Freedom Under a Banner of Sanity
A couple of days ago, I published an article about mass psychosis,22 an epidemic of madness that occurs when a large portion of society loses touch with reality and descends into delusions.
The psychogenic steps that lead to madness include a panic phase, where the individual is repeatedly frightened and confused by events they cannot explain, followed by a phase of “psychotic insight,” where the individual explains their abnormal experience of the world by inventing an illogical but magical way of seeing reality that eases the panic and gives meaning to the experience.
The technocrats who created and maintain the pandemic narrative, worldwide, know all about how to induce mass psychosis, and what we’re experiencing is by far the biggest psychological operation mankind has ever been put through. They’re using all the known tricks, and it’s working beautifully.
If you’ve been able to see through their machinations, congratulations. The onus is now on you to help others free their minds, which is not an easy task. It’s not even easy to stay sane yourself. Contradictory reports, nonsensical recommendations and blatant lies are deployed intentionally, as it heightens confusion.
The more confused a population is, the greater the state of anxiety, which reduces people’s psychological resilience. As the ability to cope wanes, the greater the chances a mass psychosis will develop. Add isolation to that equation, and the susceptibility of psychosis is further heightened, as people lose contact with positive examples — people who act as role models of rational thinking and behavior.
Once a society is firmly in the grip of mass psychosis — and I believe we’re halfway there already — totalitarians are then free to take the last, decisive step: They can offer a return to order and safety. The price? Your freedom.
You must cede control of all aspects of your life to the rulers, because unless they are granted total control, they won’t be able to create the order and safety everyone craves. Already, we’re hearing this narrative. The creation of safety through forfeiture of freedom is what vaccine passports are all about. (Breakthrough Cases and Vaccine Passports.)
This is very good except for the fact that Dr. Mercola does not understand two important principles: First, the American “constitutional republic” was founded on false, anti-Incarnational, naturalistic, Calvinist/Judeo-Masonic and Pelagian principles that are only now beginning to manifest the perfection of their inherent degeneracy. Dr. Mercola, who has been very courageous about the plandemic and in offering sound medical advice to those afflicted with the virus, would do well to familiarize himself with the authentic Social Teaching of the Catholic Church concerning the fact that it impossible for men to be virtuous, no less holy, by means of their own unaided powers. Second, men need to submit themselves to the infallible teaching authority of Holy Mother Church in all that pertains to the good of souls and to have belief in, access to and cooperation with Sanctifying Grace. Order within the soul, although not an infallible guarantor given fallen human nature, is the necessary precondition for order within societies:
The more closely the temporal power of a nation aligns itself with the spiritual, and the more it fosters and promotes the latter, by so much the more it contributes to the conservation of the commonwealth. For it is the aim of the ecclesiastical authority by the use of spiritual means, to form good Christians in accordance with its own particular end and object; and in doing this it helps at the same time to form good citizens, and prepares them to meet their obligations as members of a civil society. This follows of necessity because in the City of God, the Holy Roman Catholic Church, a good citizen and an upright man are absolutely one and the same thing. How grave therefore is the error of those who separate things so closely united, and who think that they can produce good citizens by ways and methods other than those which make for the formation of good Christians. For, let human prudence say what it likes and reason as it pleases, it is impossible to produce true temporal peace and tranquillity by things repugnant or opposed to the peace and happiness of eternity. (Silvio Cardinal Antoniano, as quoted by Pope Pius XI in Divini Illius Magistri, December 31, 1929.)
It is indeed impossible to produce true temporal peace and tranquility by things repugnant or opposed to the peace and happiness of eternity.
As Pope Leo XIII explained in Libertas Praestantissimum, June 20, 1888:
11. Therefore, the nature of human liberty, however it be considered, whether in individuals or in society, whether in those who command or in those who obey, supposes the necessity of obedience to some supreme and eternal law, which is no other than the authority of God, commanding good and forbidding evil. And, so far from this most just authority of God over men diminishing, or even destroying their liberty, it protects and perfects it, for the real perfection of all creatures is found in the prosecution and attainment of their respective ends; but the supreme end to which human liberty must aspire is God.
12. These precepts of the truest and highest teaching, made known to us by the light of reason itself, the Church, instructed by the example and doctrine of her divine Author, has ever propagated and asserted; for she has ever made them the measure of her office and of her teaching to the Christian nations. As to morals, the laws of the Gospel not only immeasurably surpass the wisdom of the heathen, but are an invitation and an introduction to a state of holiness unknown to the ancients; and, bringing man nearer to God, they make him at once the possessor of a more perfect liberty. Thus, the powerful influence of the Church has ever been manifested in the custody and protection of the civil and political liberty of the people. The enumeration of its merits in this respect does not belong to our present purpose. It is sufficient to recall the fact that slavery, that old reproach of the heathen nations, was mainly abolished by the beneficent efforts of the Church. The impartiality of law and the true brotherhood of man were first asserted by Jesus Christ; and His apostles re-echoed His voice when they declared that in future there was to be neither Jew, nor Gentile, nor barbarian, nor Scythian, but all were brothers in Christ. So powerful, so conspicuous, in this respect is the influence of the Church that experience abundantly testifies how savage customs are no longer possible in any land where she has once set her foot; but that gentleness speedily takes the place of cruelty, and the light of truth quickly dispels the darkness of barbarism. Nor has the Church been less lavish in the benefits she has conferred on civilized nations in every age, either by resisting the tyranny of the wicked, or by protecting the innocent and helpless from injury, or, finally, by using her influence in the support of any form of government which commended itself to the citizens at home, because of its justice, or was feared by their enemies without, because of its power. (Pope Leo XIII, Libertas Prasetantissimum, June 20, 1888.)
Dr. Mercola, you see, has a deficient concept of “liberty” that borders on the licentiousness promoted by libertarianism in the name of a false “liberty” as men are never morally free to do everything that they are physically capable of doing. God has made us free, but that freedom must be used on His terms in accordance with His teaching as we seek to cooperate with Our Lady’s graces to choose the objective good as contained with the Divine Law and the Natural Law and to avoid, indeed, to hate, all evil.
As Pope Leo XIII had taught in Immortale Dei, November 1, 1885:
So, too, the liberty of thinking, and of publishing, whatsoever each one likes, without any hindrance, is not in itself an advantage over which society can wisely rejoice. On the contrary, it is the fountain-head and origin of many evils. Liberty is a power perfecting man, and hence should have truth and goodness for its object. But the character of goodness and truth cannot be changed at option. These remain ever one and the same, and are no less unchangeable than nature itself. If the mind assents to false opinions, and the will chooses and follows after what is wrong, neither can attain its native fullness, but both must fall from their native dignity into an abyss of corruption. Whatever, therefore, is opposed to virtue and truth may not rightly be brought temptingly before the eye of man, much less sanctioned by the favor and protection of the law. A well-spent life is the only passport to heaven, whither all are bound, and on this account the State is acting against the laws and dictates of nature whenever it permits the license of opinion and of action to lead minds astray from truth and souls away from the practice of virtue. To exclude the Church, founded by God Himself, from the business of life, from the making of laws, from the education of youth, from domestic society is a grave and fatal error. A State from which religion is banished can never be well regulated; and already perhaps more than is desirable is known of the nature and tendency of the so-called civil philosophy of life and morals. The Church of Christ is the true and sole teacher of virtue and guardian of morals. She it is who preserves in their purity the principles from which duties flow, and, by setting forth most urgent reasons for virtuous life, bids us not only to turn away from wicked deeds, but even to curb all movements of the mind that are opposed to reason, even though they be not carried out in action. (Pope Leo XIII, Immortale Dei, November 1, 1885.)
Dr. Mercola has never heard these truths.
However, it is because he has not heard these truths that because he has never been taught that there can be no true liberty when people are enslaved to the devil by means of their own unrepented Mortal Sins and/or are actually captive to him by means of Original Sin. The one and only true standard of liberty is the Holy Cross of the Divine Redeemer, Christ the King, as it is held high by His Holy Catholic Church, and the very reason we have arrived at this point now is because Protestant Revolution and the subsequent rise of the rise of the anti-Incarnational civil state of Modernity have “liberated” us from the source of our true liberty that has enslaved almost everyone we know to a licentiousness that makes it very easy for statists to take away legitimate civil rights and liberties so that “the people” can continue to enjoy their bread and circuses.
III. Where it all started: The Wuhan Institute of Virology
Second, yes, there is a virus, one that was weaponized at the now infamous Wuhan Biosafety Laboratory by the use so-called “gain of function” research funded in part by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (see Anthony Fauci, Blind Chicom Asset, Can't Imagine the Chicoms Wanting to Harm Their Own People),something that was documented on this site in part two of the “Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus” series and that has been verified numerous times in the past sixteen months, including in a report issued by Republican members of the United States House of Representatives’ Committee on Foreign Affairs:
COVID-19 leaked from the controversial Wuhan lab sometime before Sept. 12, 2019 — with China’s Communist Party keeping the deadly virus under wraps in the “greatest coverup of all time,” according to a damning Republican investigation into the origins released Monday.
The report shows “a preponderance of the evidence proves that all roads lead” to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the bat-research lab already eyed as a source for the pandemic, according to Rep. Michael McCaul.
“It is our belief the virus leaked sometime in late August or early September 2019,” said McCaul, the lead Republican in the House Foreign Affairs Committee who released the report.
“When they realized what happened, Chinese Communist Party officials and scientists at the WIV began frantically covering up the leak, including taking their virus database offline in the middle of the night and requesting more than $1 million for additional security,” McCaul said.
“But their coverup was too late – the virus was already spreading throughout the megacity of Wuhan,” he said of the pandemic that as of Monday has killed at least 4,225,602 people globally.
The investigation also revealed a previously unknown request in July 2019 for a $1.5 million overhaul of a hazardous waste treatment system for the facility, even though it was less than two years old.
It included requests for maintenance on “environmental air disinfection system” and “hazardous waste treatment system” – which would indicate concerns about how these systems meant to prevent lab leaks were functioning, the report alleges.
The report cites satellite and geo-mapping intelligence that showed hospitals around the lab getting unusually busy from September — with a rush for online searches of symptoms now linked to the pandemic.
The report also accuses Peter Daszak of the New York-based EcoHealth Alliance, as well as the Wuhan lab’s “bat woman” lead scientist Shi Zhengli, of lying about the origins and dismissing the lab-leak theory as a crackpot conspiracy.
Daszak should be subpoenaed to appear before the House Foreign Affairs Committee to “answer the many questions his inconsistent – and in some instances outright and knowingly inaccurate – statements have raised,” McCaul said.
The report also calls on Congress to “sanction scientists at the WIV and CCP officials who participated in this coverup.”
“This was the greatest coverup of all time and has caused the deaths of more than four million people around world, and people must be held responsible,” McCaul said.
The 84-page report lays out a trove of evidence the Republicans say proves it’s time to “completely dismiss the wet market as the source of the outbreak.”
Key allegations include:
The report cited “ample evidence” that the lab’s scientists — aided by US experts and Chinese and US government funds — were working to modify coronaviruses to infect humans and such manipulation could be hidden.
“It is self-evident that Shi and her colleagues, with funding and support from Daszak, were actively genetically manipulating coronaviruses and testing them against human immune systems in 2018 and 2019, before the beginning of the pandemic,” the report alleges.
The Republican document also shot down a key defense for those who argue against the lab-leak theory by saying there is no proof that the virus was modified by humans.
“Researchers at the WIV were … able to successfully modify coronaviruses without leaving a trace as early as 2016,” McCaul insisted, citing previous research papers.
“Therefore it is no longer appropriate for anyone to dismiss the notion this virus could have been genetically modified before it leaked from the WIV,” he said.
There were also “significant concerns about the lax safety protocols” at the lab, with US State Department officials warning in 2018 about “a serious shortage of appropriately trained technicians and investigators needed to safely operate this high-containment laboratory.”
In July 2019 — at most two months before Republicans believe the virus initially leaked — the lab requested a $1.5 million overhaul of its “environmental air disinfection system” and “hazardous waste treatment system,” the report claims.
“Such a significant renovation so soon after the facility began operation appears unusual,” the report says of the two-year-old lab.
The needed repairs “raise questions about how well these systems were functioning in the months prior to the outbreak of COVID-19,” the report states.
In a hypothesis of how the virus leaked, the report suggests that faulty central air conditioning “likely resulted in lower than ideal air circulation and enabling viral particles to remain suspended in the air longer.”
UNUSUAL ACTIVITY ON SEPT. 12, 2019
The report concludes that the virus escaped “sometime prior to September 12, 2019” — the day that urgent inspections were called for the lab and its viral sequence database disappeared from the internet in the middle of the night.
“The database contained more than 22,000 entries consisting of sample and pathogen data collected from bats and mice,” the report claims.
“The database contained key information about each sample, including what type of animal it was collected from, where it was collected, whether the virus was successfully isolated, the type of virus collected, and its similarity to other known viruses.”
Yet, “Shi has given several conflicting answers” about the database outage — including blaming outrage at staff after the contagion spread worldwide, even though it had been offline months before, the report says.
Later that evening, the institute published an announcement for bids for “security services” at the lab “to include gatekeepers, guards, video surveillance, security patrols, and people to handle the ‘registration and reception of foreign personnel,’” according to the report.
PEOPLE’S LIBERATION ARMY TAKE CONTROL
The report says PLA Major General Chen Wei, an expert in biology and chemical weapon defenses, was deployed to take control of the Wuhan lab in January 2020 — if not the end of 2019.
That timing demonstrates the Chinese Communist Party “was concerned about the activity happening there as news of the virus was spreading,” the Republican report argues.
Worse, if Wei had been there in late 2019, as intelligence suggests, “it would mean the CCP knew about the virus earlier, and that the outbreak began earlier” than China has admitted, the report argues.
“This raises the obvious question of why Shi … would lie about military researchers working with the WIV,” the report says, suggesting that “her denial and the scrubbing of the website appear to be obvious attempts to obfuscate the PLA’s involvement with the WIV.”
REPORTS OF COVID-LIKE SICKNESS AROUND THE LAB
Satellite imagery of Wuhan in September and October that year showed a significant increase in hospital visits and internet searches for pneumonia-like symptoms now known to be COVID, the report says.
The analysis found that five out of the six hospitals closest to the lab “had the highest relative daily volume of cars in the parking lot in September and October 2019, before the first reported cases of COVID-19,” the report notes.
“This peak corresponded with an increase in searches for ‘cough’ and ‘diarrhea’ in Wuhan on Baidu, a Chinese search engine,” it said, suggesting that “a virus with similar symptoms as COVID-19 was circulating in Wuhan in September and October.”
MILITARY WORLD GAMES AS A SUPER-SPREADER
The Military World Games went ahead that October and some athletes “carried the virus back to their home countries – creating one of the earliest super spreader events in the world,” McCaul said.
The Republican researchers hypothesized that the decision to continue with the event — with 9,308 athletes from 109 countries and 236,000 volunteers — was “to prevent national embarrassment.”
“Since COVID-19 can infect humans without causing symptoms, an untold number of athletes and volunteers become infected, but are asymptomatic and unaware they are infectious,” that hypothesis suggests.
Many athletes reported getting sick with COVID-like symptoms at the games — while others marveled at how the large city was a “ghost town,” the report notes.
“This was a city of 15 million people that was in lockdown,” a member of the Canadian Armed Force told Canada’s The Financial Post of the event months before the new coronavirus was officially reported.
The athlete said he got “very sick 12 days after we arrived, with fever, chills, vomiting, insomnia” — and that “60 Canadian athletes on the flight [home] were put in isolation” with symptoms now known to be typical for COVID.
The report suggests that “by the time the world was alerted to the virus spreading in Wuhan, it had already begun to spread around the world.”
Only in December, “as cases begin to overload local hospitals,” did China finally confirm the mysterious new illness because “it became impossible to hide the outbreak,” the report suggests.
DASZAK HELPS IN COVERUP
The Republican report leveled serious allegations at Daszak, saying he was “heavily involved in the gain-of-function research” at the lab — and then helped China float the lab-leak theory as a nonsense conspiracy.
“We have uncovered strong evidence that suggests Peter Daszak is the public face of a CCP disinformation campaign designed to suppress public discussion about a potential lab leak,” the Republican report alleges.
It also notes that Daszak was the only US representative on the World Health Organization’s origins fact-finding mission to China that deflected attention away from likely ties to the lab.
“The United States put forth a list of experts to be considered, none of whom were chosen. Daszak was not on that list but was nevertheless selected and approved by the CCP,” the report states.
The WHO report then included “multiple examples of CCP disinformation that have been repeated by Daszak,” the Republicans allege.
The WHO also noted his key role in a letter in the Lancet signed by scientists dismissing the lab-leak theory, which his name was initially hidden from to cover up the ties, according to the report.
WUHAN LAB WAS THE SOURCE, REPORT CONCLUDES
“The evidence … combined [with] the cover-up conducted CCP authorities, strongly suggest the Wuhan Institute of Virology as the source of the current pandemic,” the report insists.
President Biden in May ordered US intelligence agencies to accelerate their hunt for the origins of the virus and report back in 90 days. It is expected by Aug. 24.
A source familiar with current intelligence assessments told Reuters that the intelligence community has not reached a firm conclusion on whether the virus leaked from the lab. (GOP investigation 'proves' COVID leaked from Wuhan lab.)
This report draws conclusions that Dr. Francis Boyle had drawn in his interview that was published Christian Order eighteen months ago and reprinted on this site in part two of “Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus.”
However, as the tragic, fast-breaking events in Afghanistan have confirmed what anyone with a modicum of intellectual honesty has known all along, the cognitively challenged Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., lives in a bunker of his own alternative universe, especially as regards Red China because the Chicoms have the goods on the Biden Family Crime Syndicate. It is thus unsurprising that the Biden administration has found “inconclusive” evidence supporting the Wuhan Institute of Virology as the source of the CCP/China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19/Coronavirus:
The US intelligence community has told President Joe Biden it couldn’t come to a clear conclusion on COVID’s origins — because China wouldn’t provide the needed information.
No kidding. China has been covering up from the start of the pandemic that’s killed 4 million worldwide, which is just one of many clues that COVID likely leaked from a Wuhan lab. But Biden’s intel agencies don’t want to go there.
Biden ordered the probe in May, a day after news broke of his administration’s shutdown of a similar State Department inquiry. Tuesday, he got what he plainly wanted, a classified report that was inconclusive on whether the virus jumped from animals to humans or escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, or WIV, located where the pandemic began.
“If China’s not going to give access to certain data sets, you’re never really going to know,” one unnamed official told The Wall Street Journal.
But growing evidence points to a lab leak (which itself explains China’s stonewall).
If an animal passed the virus on to humans, some of the species should have COVID now, but no such critter’s been found, despite Chinese scientists’ extensive search.
But we do know that Wuhan Institute researchers years ago acquired bats filthy with coronaviruses and were doing “gain of function” research at the WIV — whose labs have a long history of safety problems. And that soon after Beijing admitted that a deadly outbreak was underway, it began deleting online WIV data.
But Chinese-born Miles Yu, a historian in the State Department’s Office of Policy Planning, had downloaded copies of many WIV Web pages, the Journal reports. With support from then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, he started the State investigation.
State researchers soon found a buried report about several WIV researchers becoming sick in fall 2019 with COVID-consistent symptoms and new evidence of the lab’s classified work for the Chinese military. But some State officials and others with Health and Human Services objected to the probe, winning out when Team Biden killed it.
Meanwhile, independent researchers note that the WIV took samples from bats tied to a mysterious respiratory illness that hit workers clearing guano from a mine in southwest China in 2012, killing three: The samples contained the world’s closest-known virus to that which causes COVID-19.
Even the leader of the World Health Organization’s pathetic “investigation” in China, where WHO played along with Beijing’s coverup, now says it’s “probable” COVID leaked from the Wuhan lab.
Beijing is still blustering about “a counterattack” against those who “baselessly accuse China” on COVID, as a spokesman put it this week. It claims it will “continue to cooperate” with WHO — when in fact it rejected the agency’s July proposal for a second, more serious investigation in Wuhan.
Are such over-the-top threats why Team Biden refuses to pressure China to come clean? (Biden's intelligence agencies bow to Beijing, claim no conclusion on COVID.)
Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., will do whatever his Chicom masters tell him to do. Indeed, he will do whatever any and every enemy of the United States of America want him to do.
Mr. Steven W. Mosher, the founder and president of Population Research Institute, is an expert on Red China dating to his days in the 1970s as he researched the Chicoms’ forced abortion policy. His research was so thorough and so well-documented that the CCP pressured Stanford University to deny Mosher the doctorate for which he had undertaken his research.
Mosher, who was a protégé of the late, long-suffering and courageous Father Paul Marx, O.S.B. (see Disconnects and Never Give In To Compromise), explained the true about the “gain of function” studies at the Wuhan Institute of Virology that were meant to create biological weapons:
Four months after taking office, President Biden suddenly directed US intelligence agencies to probe the origins of the coronavirus that — as everyone knows by now — came from China. Interesting timing this, perhaps prompted by the fact that he had just been caught canceling the previous president’s investigation into the matter.
“Senior administration officials” are now leaking to sympathetic media outlets that the final report of the intelligence community has been sent to Biden but that it is, sadly, “inconclusive.”
Don’t expect to be able to read the report for yourself anytime soon, because it is “classified.”
You must simply take the word of unnamed officials that we just don’t know and we may never know whether the novel coronavirus jumped from an animal to a human naturally, or might have accidentally escaped from a lab in China.
But they are eager — perhaps too eager — to attack the idea that it could have been a bioweapon in development. They say it has several naturally occurring features that are found in other coronaviruses.
Well, of course, it does. That’s because it was genetically engineered using the “backbone” of an existing coronavirus.
But it also has novel insertions — like dropping a bigger engine into an existing chassis — as I wrote earlier in these pages:
“Those doing the splicing left ‘signatures’ behind in the genome itself. To boost a virus’ lethality, for example, those doing gain-of-function research customarily insert a snippet of RNA that codes for two arginine amino acids. This snippet — called double CGG — has never been found in any other coronaviruses, but is present in CoV-2. Besides this damning evidence, there are other indications of tampering as well.”
But no, a rushed investigation found this was all “inconclusive.” Our intelligence analysts are utterly bamboozled about the origins of the disease that has killed more than 600,000 Americans.
They are absolutely certain that China did nothing nefarious. At worst, it was an “accident.”
The meta-message from this mysterious report: Don’t blame China. Don’t demand reparations. Don’t decouple our economies. Don’t upset the geopolitical order in which China marches relentlessly on, despite unleashing a devastating virus on the world.
Our intelligence agencies — or at least the people who now run them — think that the people of the United States are utterly stupid. (Biden administration claims to have no clue how COVID started.)
Although one can take issue with the numbers of people actually killed by the CCP/China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19/Coronavirus given the way in which the numbers of those infected with it and/or were said to have died from it were inflated by public health officials across the United States of America, Mr. Mosher is indeed correct about the origins of the virus. The Biden administration’s “ignorance” is quite willful and malicious.
It would be derelict on my part, however, if I did not explain to the readers of this website that there are many people who have contracted the virus and who have suffered greatly. We know several people who have had serious cases of the virus and who were very debilated because of it. Several of these people were treated with Ivermectin and Hydroxychloriquine while some others have been treated with nebulized hydrogen peroxide and Regeneron, which only lately and relunctantly has received the all-important "blessing" of the august and "infalliblly "woke" Anthony Facui after Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida was criticized massively for recommending its use (Fauci Agrees with DeSantis: Antibody Treatment Fights Coronavirus).
We know others who have had milder cases or some who had tested "positive" but who were as totally asymptomatic as those fruit that the late (and probably murdered) Tanzanian president, John Magufuli, tested last year using what he wanted to prove to be the rigged nature of the test kits themselves, something that I noted in part four of "Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus" but is worth repeating here once again, especially given the fact that the "tests" being administered at this time because of the genetically engineered spike of the virus and its variants caused by vaccine shedding are puttin the "tests" front and center once again:
DAR ES SALAAM — Coronavirus test kits used in Tanzania were dismissed as faulty by President John Magufuli on Sunday, because he said they had returned positive results on samples taken from a goat and a pawpaw.
Magufuli, whose government has already drawn criticism for being secretive about the coronavirus outbreak and has previously asked Tanzanians to pray the coronavirus away, said the kits had "technical errors".
The COVID-19 testing kits had been imported from abroad, Magufuli said during an event in Chato in the north west of Tanzania, although he did not give further details.
The president said he had instructed Tanzanian security forces to check the quality of the kits. They had randomly obtained several non-human samples, including from a pawpaw, a goat and a sheep, but had assigned them human names and ages.
These samples were then submitted to Tanzania's laboratory to test for the coronavirus, with the lab technicians left deliberately unaware of their origins.
Samples from the pawpaw and the goat tested positive for COVID-19, the president said, adding this meant it was likely that some people were being tested positive when in fact they were not infected by the coronavirus.
"There is something happening. I said before we should not accept that every aid is meant to be good for this nation," Magufuli said, adding the kits should be investigated.
As of Sunday, Tanzania had recorded 480 cases of COVID-19 and 17 deaths but unlike most other African countries, Dar es Salaam. sometimes goes for days without offering updates, with the last bulletin on cases on Wednesday.
Magufuli also said that he was sending a plane to collect a cure being promoted by Madagascar's president. The herbal mix has not yet undergone internationally recognised scientific testing.
"I'm communicating with Madagascar," he said during a speech, adding: "They have got a medicine. We will send a flight there and the medicine will be brought in the country so that Tanzanians too can benefit."
COVID-19 infections and fatalities reported across Africa have been relatively low compared with the United States, parts of Asia and Europe. But Africa also has extremely low levels of testing, with rates of only around 500 per million people. (Tanzania President Proves Coronairus Test is Useless. A satirical treatment of this story can be found at Tanzanian President Exposes Covid-19 Test.)
Oh, you might remember what happened to John Mugufali: he died under mysterious circumstances, something that I included in part twelve of the "Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus" series:
This is certainly true, and it is rather curious that the late President of Tanzania, who was openly outspoken in his opposition to the global propaganda campaign to instill fear into the hearts and everyone on the planet about the CCP/Wuhan/China/Chinese/Covid-19/Coronavirus, and who demonstrated the fraudulent nature of the testing kits used to determine whether a person was infected with the virus by sending in samples from a papaya and a monkey, wound up dead recently and was replaced by a plandemic-compliant successor:
UPDATE 19/03/21 – Tanzania’s vice-President Samia Suluhu Hassan has been officially sworn in as the new President. Details.
UPDATE 20/03/21 – The new President is already being seen in public wearing a mask. Details.
After weeks of being out of the public eye, Tanzania’s President John Magufuli has died age 61, according to the country’s Vice President.
The global press are reporting the death of Tanzania’s “Covid denying President” with barely disguised glee.
The official cause of death is rumoured to be a heart attack, but some are implying it may have been due to the virus. The Economist, for example reports:
Many believe the virus was to blame”.
As if what “many believe” really means anything.
However it happened – whether virus or heart attack or, ahem, “suicide” – the long and short of it as that Magufuli is gone. Just as we predicted only a few days ago.
So what now for the East African nation? Well presumably Magufuli’s successor – be it the Vice-President, or a hastily elected new leader (perhaps the head of the opposition, given so many column inches in recent weeks) – will take the reins of the country.
Will they continue their predecessor’s “Covid denying” policies? I would be astounded.
If what happened in Burundi last summer is any guide, the Tanzanian Covid approach will be totally reversed within a day or two of the President dying.
As the Council on Foreign Relations reported, only last week:
a bold figure within the ruling party could capitalize on the current episode to begin to reverse course.”
Expect that “Bold Figure” to rise to prominence very soon, and receive the kind of glowing write-ups in the Western press, that only their hand-picked men ever get.
Bloomberg is already reporting that:
Tanzania’s Next Leader to Face Predecessor’s Covid Denialism
And that:
New leader must decide whether to change course on Covid-19
The Covid reversals have actually already begun, they were being put in place even before the President was reported dead, with WHO spokespeople praising Tanzania’s “new position” on Covid as early as March 12th.
The “new position” will likely be enforced with industrial blackmail. Bloomberg reports:
Magufuli spearheaded a major infrastructure investment drive, and pending decisions on whether to proceed with several mega-projects will now fall to his successor.
It’s not hard to see the obvious financial threat here. “Change your Covid position, or foreign investors will pull out of your infrastructure projects”.
Plus, there are the former President’s plans to part-nationalise the mining industry, which his successor may well be forced to halt, for fear of “alienating international investors”:
The nation’s new leader will also need to decide whether to run the risk of alienating international investors and press ahead with controversial mining reforms that Magufuli said were needed to ensure the nation derives greater benefit from its natural resources.
It seems fairly obvious there’s been a major powerplay in Tanzania, a soft coup using business in place of bullets. But what do you think?
- What will President Magufuli’s successor do now?
- Will the WHO be invited back into the country?
- Will they start mass testing?
- Will Tanzania’s “hidden pandemic” suddenly come to light?
- Did Magufuli really die of natural causes?
- For those of you who answered yes to question 5, would you like to buy a bridge?
UPDATE 19/03: As of this morning (the 19th) Magufuli’s Vice-President has been officially sworn in as his successor. Samia Suluhu Hassan, who was part educated in Britain, is the countries first female President, which the Western press are naturally all over.
In her inauguration speech, she called upon the country to “come together” and warned this was “not a time for pointing fingers”, demonstrating she’s aware of how suspicious this transition of power appears, and how tenuous her grip on power will be in these early days of replacing a very popular leader.
Remember yesterday when we predicted “glowing write-ups” for Magufuli’s successor?
Well, she’s being described as a “conciliator” in the press, which is Western journalism talk for “someone who will do as they are told”. Human Rights Watch has predicted Tanzania will experience a “revival of democracy” under her leadership, and The Guardian is already reporting:
DaMina Advisors, a political risk advisory firm, predicted the new president was likely to make a public U-turn on her predecessor’s policy of Covid denial and his generally negative attitudes toward foreign investors.
It really couldn’t be more obvious what has happened here.
UPDATE 20/3/21: The new President is already being seen in public wearing a mask. (Death of President John Mugufuli of Tanzania.)
Perhaps Tanzanian President John Mugufuli died a perfectly natural death, Then again, perhaps it is the case that these plandemicists play for keeps and will brook no dissension whatsoever from those in civil power, whose only job, the plandemcists believe, is to carry out the program outlined in Event 201 on October 18, 2021, as part of the "great reset of humanity."
Obviously, As was noted in the first Dr. Mercola article cited at the beginning of this study, we will never be free of upper respiratory illnesses. Moreover, what Dr. Mercola does not understand it is that all illnesses are the result of Original Sin and their mutation over time is the result of natural biological/chemical processes that become more powerful over time because of the gradual weakening of human immune systems caused by highly processed food produces that come from Big Agriculture and the endless array of drugs, many of which have adverse side-effects that are designed to compromise human immune systems, that come from Big Pharma.
Some people will die from the virus as they die from other viruses. Others will be weakened for some time while still more people who have fought off the virus naturally and/or have recovered from it will have natural immunity despite the denial of such by the "public health" professionals.
What remains clear is that there are ways to treat patients with serious cases of the CCP/China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19/Coronavirus that are being denied as "effective" by physicians who have a vested interesting in cleaving dogmatically to the "protocols" established by the mercurial Dr. Anthony Fauci and the so-called Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
This is all entirely diabolical.
IV. The Role Played by the Chinese Communist Party in Spreading the Virus
Third, the Chinese Communist Party knew full well that the weaponized coronavirus had leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and made sure to take advantage of this fact by sending thousands of Chinese nationals from the Wuhan area to the United States and Europe in order to spread the virus and thus to destabilize Western nations. Here is a report from sixteen months ago:
There is new evidence to show that China locked down all domestic traffic internally by end January 2020 but pushed to open foreign travel till end March. Data from Tom Tom traffic index, a traffic location site that covers 416 cities across 57 countries show that as a result of this strategy, China, intentionally or otherwise, was able to lockdown its cities unknown to the world. While this reduced the spread of the Corona virus within China, China’s aggressive foreign travel policy lead to a virus explosion worldwide. Here is the chronological events of what happened with the requisite traffic data from 10 major cities globally and the statements from Chinese leaders that will help readers reach their own conclusions.
Beijing & Shanghai were isolated by Jan, domestic flights curtailed
The COVID- 19 virus first surfaced in Wuhan in the last week of December. On 31 December 2019 Chinese health officials first reported to WHO that 41 patients in Wuhan had contracted a mysterious pneumonia that was not responding to conventional treatment. As most patients were from the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market it was closed on the 1st of January. On the 7th of January Chinese scientists identified the virus as a novel Coronavirus later termed as the COVID-19 virus. On the 11th of January the virus claimed its first life in Wuhan city. On 13th January Thailand reported the first case of Coronavirus outside China. On 20th of January Zong Nanshan the scientist named by China to lead the battle against the virus stated ” Now we can say that it is certain that it is a human to human transmission phenomenon”.
On January 22 at a meeting to decide the measures to be taken, WHO was not able warn the world of the severity of COVID-19 apparently because of resistance from Beijing. (WHO referred to it as “divergent views”) On January 23 Wuhan city was placed under quarantine and two days later the entire Hubei province was locked down. The Chinese state machinery was harnessed to enforce an unprecedented quarantine on 50 million people across 15 cities. In the last week of January domestic flights from Hubei to other parts of China was stopped and restrictions on traffic movement in major cities like Beijing and Shanghai were initiated. This was the time of the Chinese New Year when offices and schools are normally closed and it is also the prime tourism season for the Chinese. On the 31st January Italy fearing a major outbreak of Coronavirus from hundreds of tourists arriving from China closed all flights to and from China.
China’s traffic density below 10% in Feb, but criticises global traffic curbs
China’s vice-minister of foreign affairs Qin Gang met Italy’s ambassador to China Luca Ferrari in Beijing following the flight ban. “Italy’s decision to stop flights without contacting China in advance caused great inconvenience to citizens of both countries. Many Chinese are still stranded in Italy,” the foreign ministry said on its website the following day. The U.S. issued a travel advisory against China travel on the 2nd of February but did not ban all services. While Chinese authorities limited domestic flights from Wuhan to other Chinese cities like Beijing and Shanghai in an effort to contain the outbreak in January, it urged international carriers to maintain their flying schedules. The Civil Aviation Administration of China stated “In order to meet the needs of passengers in and out of the country and the international transport of supplies during this special period … airlines [are required to] … continue transport to nations that have not imposed travel restrictions.”
China’s assertion that all was well for international travel was supported by the WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at the opening of the agency’s Executive Board meet on the 3rd February. He said ” There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade. We call on all countries to implement decisions that are evidence-based and consistent. WHO stands ready to provide advice to any country that is considering which measures to take,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying criticised the US advisories saying “The U.S. government hasn’t provided any substantial assistance to us, but it was the first to evacuate personnel from its consulate in Wuhan, the first to suggest partial withdrawal of its embassy staff, and the first to impose a comprehensive travel ban on Chinese travellers”
While China continued to protest against international travel bans it successfully quarantined Wuhan and other affected cities. The total domestic lockdown of Hubei province and the flight ban imposed inside China had immediate effect. As per data from Tom Tom traffic index Wuhan had a traffic density of 60% in January while Shanghai and Beijing had nearly 80% density. After the total lockdown the average traffic density fell to below 10% in Wuhan and Shanghai during February and below 5% in Beijing. While implementing a total domestic lockdown in February, China kept assuring the world that the situation was not serious and fully under control.
WHO declares global pandemic belatedly in March, nations unprepared
China kept on the facade of hiding the severity of the virus attack till mid March. On the 11th of March WHO belatedly declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. By that time the number of cases globally had grown thirteen fold. As per WHO website more than 118,000 cases had been reported in 114 countries, and 4,291 people had lost their lives when the global pandemic was declared. That is when the rest of the world started preparing for a suitable response to the pandemic, nearly two months after China.
It was only after a telephonic conversation with US President Donald Trump on March 27th that Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to curb international flights from China. China’s Civil Aviation Administration stated after the discussion “that 90% of international flights would be temporarily suspended. The number of incoming passengers would be cut to 5,000 a day, from 25,000. China has also ordered local airlines to maintain only one route per country, once a week, as of 29th March”. By the end of March COVID-19 had become a full blown global crisis with nearly 10,000 deaths in Italy, Spain and the US and over 5000 in Iran and the UK which was much more than those dead in China.
As per data from Tom Tom traffic index the traffic density in Wuhan remained low at around 10% of the normal traffic in March while the major business centres like Beijing and Shanghai which had less than a few thousand cases of COVID-19 and half a dozen deaths showed partial recovery of traffic to around 40%. The rest of the world oblivious of the need for total lockdown took time to react. The traffic remained high at over 60% in major cities like Rome, Milan, Madrid, Paris, London, New York, New Delhi and Mumbai during March.
Australia calls for investigation, China and WHO must be made accountable
The Tom Tom traffic data index shows that in all other global cities like Rome, Milan, Madrid, Paris, London, New York, New Delhi and Mumbai the traffic density dropped to 10% only in the month of April when most nations went under lockdown. This was a clear two months after China went in for a domestic lock down and allowed the virus to proliferate to international destinations through human contact. The traffic density in Beijing and Shanghai rose to over 60% in April showing that the Chinese cities and its economy was back to normal functioning.
While China limited its losses to below 5000 by end April 2020, the US had lost 60,000 lives, Italy, Spain, France and UK above 20,000 each and the world saw over 200,000 deaths that was nearly doubling every fortnight. So though the virus had originated from China which initially infected citizens from 27 nations, because of China’s diabolic international travel policy it spread rapidly to a totally unprepared Europe, mainly Italy and Spain and thereafter to the rest of the world becoming a global pandemic. So whether the virus was produced in the Wuhan Virology Institute as an exercise of bio-terrorism or simply arrived unintentionally due to bat and pangolin infected blood from its exotic animal markets in Wuhan, China is answerable for the way it allowed the virus to spread.
Australia has called for an international investigation into the spread of COVID-19 and all nations of the world including India must back the move. Also it has been suggested that the leadership and the action of WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus needs to be probed. All nations including India need to support such an investigation for it is better to be safe than sorry. (How China locked down internally for COVID-19, but pushed foreign travel.)
We know now, sixteen months later, that the role of the Wuhan Institute of Virology is no longer in dispute except in the minds of those who believe, for example, that the administration of the senile, factually-challenged, criminally and morally corrupt career politician named Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., and his cackling vice president, Kamala Harris, has a plan in place for the evacuation of Americans and Afghani allies stranded in Afghanistan following the Taliban’s takeover of Kabul and most other parts of that graveyard of empires. The CCP/China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19/Coronavirus originated in Red China and was spread therefrom to accomplish CCP-style rule in the supposedly “free” nations of the West.
V. A Get Rich and Get More Power Scheme of Big Tech, Big Pharma and Big Government
Fourth, professional apparatchiks who are allied with and financially tied to the “Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,” including the likes of Dr. Anthony Fauci to line their own pockets with the cold, hard cash that is flowing into the Big Pharma companies whose bidding he has done ever since he was appointed to be the Director of the United States National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases:
As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Anthony Fauci dispenses $6.1 billion in annual taxpayer-provided funding for scientific research.
The research I conducted for my new book exposes how Fauci’s gargantuan yearly disbursements allow him to dictate the subject, content and outcome of scientific health research across the globe.
These annual disbursements also allow Fauci to exercise dictatorial control over the army of “knowledge-and-innovation” leaders who populate the “independent” federal panels that approve and mandate drugs and vaccines — including the committees that allowed the Emergency Use Authorization of COVID-19 vaccines.
Fauci uses the financial clout at his disposal to wield extraordinary influence over hospitals, universities, journals and thousands of influential doctors and scientists — whose careers and institutions he has the power to ruin, advance or reward.
These are the same doctors who appear on network news shows, publish on the op-ed pages of influential media, and craft and defend the pharmaceutical cartel’s official narratives.
Fauci only rarely performs NIAID’s traditional mission of researching the causes behind the exploding epidemics of allergic and autoimmune diseases — as evidenced by the fact that under his watch, the chronic diseases Congress charged NIAID with preventing rose from 1.8 % among children when Fauci came to NIAID in the 1960s, to 54% today, when obesity is factored in.
Instead of addressing the rise in chronic diseases, Fauci transformed NIAID from a world-class regulator into a product incubator for Big Pharma by developing new drugs and vaccines for which he, his agency and his employees often share patents and royalties.
For example, Fauci and four of his hand-selected deputies will partake with Moderna in millions of dollars in royalties from sales of Moderna’s COVID vaccine — which was co-developed by Moderna and NIAID.
Fauci has made himself the leading proponent of “agency capture” — the subversion of democracy and public health by the pharmaceutical industry.
As “The Real Anthony Fauci” reveals, Fauci has steadily failed upward. His legacy is a nation that uses increasingly more pharmaceuticals, pays nearly three times more for prescription drugs than people in dozens of other countries, and has worse health outcomes and a sicker population than other wealthy nations.
Today, prescription drugs — many developed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) during Fauci’s tenure at the NIH’s NIAID — are America’s third leading cause of death.
My book also reveals how Fauci and his cohorts in Pharma profit handsomely from sickness — but not so much from good health.
50 years as the ‘J. Edgar Hoover of public health’
Fauci has survived half a century in his government post — he’s the J. Edgar Hoover of public health — by kowtowing to (and profiting from) pharmaceutical interests.
He launched his career during the early AIDS crisis by partnering with pharmaceutical companies to sabotage safe and effective off-patent therapeutic treatments for AIDS.
Fauci orchestrated fraudulent studies, and then pressured U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulators into approving a deadly chemotherapy treatment he knew to be worthless against AIDS.
The FDA deemed AZT too toxic for human use. Many researchers today argue AZT killed far more people than AIDS.
Thanks to Fauci’s corrupt intervention, AZT, at $10,000 per patient per year, became history’s most expensive commercial drug — one that made billions for GlaxoSmithKline.
Fauci repeatedly violated federal laws to allow his Pharma partners to use impoverished and dark-skinned children as lab rats in deadly experiments with toxic AIDS and cancer chemotherapies.
In 2005, Congress cited his agency for consistently breaking federal laws in outlaw experiments on Black and Hispanic orphans in foster homes in New York and six other states.
Fauci’s long list of unethical and genocidal experiments on Africans caused mayhem and tragedy across the continent, particularly for children and pregnant mothers.
Each of the vaccines funded by Fauci and Bill Gates — polio, DPT, malaria, meningitis, tetanus and HIV — likely caused far more injuries and deaths around the world than they averted.
The carefully constructed Pharma-Fauci-Gates alliance
In early 2000, Fauci shook hands with Gates in the library of Gates’ $147 million Seattle mansion, cementing a partnership that would aim to control an increasingly profitable $60 billion global vaccine enterprise with unlimited growth potential.
In 2009, Gates stood before the United Nations and declared the “Decade of Vaccines.” He committed $10 billion to build a regulatory, political, media and brick-and-mortar infrastructure with the goal of inoculating the entire global population with multiple jabs by 2020.
Through funding leverage and carefully cultivated personal relationships with heads of state and leading media and social media institutions, the Pharma-Fauci-Gates alliance exercises dominion over global health policy.
Gates and Fauci now wield far-reaching influence and unprecedented power to shut down the global economy, abolish civil and constitutional rights, impose police state surveillance and engineer the greatest upward shift of global wealth in human history.
In my book, I lay bare how Fauci, Gates and their collaborators:
- invented and weaponized a parade of fraudulently concocted global pandemics, including bird flu (2005), swine flu (2009) and Zika (2015-2016), in order to sell novel vaccines, enrich their Pharma partners and increase the power of public health technocrats and Gates’ entourage of international agencies.
- used “gain-of-function” experiments to breed pandemic superbugs in shoddily constructed, poorly regulated laboratories in Wuhan, China, and elsewhere, under conditions that almost certainly guaranteed the escape of weaponized microbes, in partnership with the Pentagon, the Chinese military and a shady cabal of bioweapons grifters.
- made a series of prescient predictions about the imminent COVID-19 pandemic — almost to the day. Their precision soothsaying further awed a fawning, credulous and scientifically illiterate media that treats Gates and Fauci as religious deities, insulates them from public criticism and vilifies their doubters as heretics and “conspiracy theorists.” Adulatory mainstream media abetted Fauci’s conspiracy to cover up COVID’s origins at the Wuhan lab.
- teamed with government technocrats, military and intelligence planners, and health officials from the U.S., Europe and China to stage sophisticated pandemic “simulations” and “Germ Games.” Exercises like these, encouraged by the Global Preparedness Monitoring Board, laid the groundwork for imposition of global totalitarianism, including compulsory masking, lockdowns, mass propaganda and censorship, with the ultimate goal of mandating the coercive vaccination of 7 billion humans.
- practiced, in each of their “simulations,” psychological warfare techniques to create chaos, stoke fear, shatter economies, destroy public morale and quash individual self-expression — and then impose autocratic governance.
Stoking COVID-19 pandemic fear
The “Real Anthony Fauci” details how Fauci, Gates and their cohorts used their control of media outlets, scientific journals, key government and quasi-governmental agencies, and influential scientists and physicians to flood the public with fearful propaganda about COVID-19 virulence and pathogenesis, and to muzzle debate and ruthlessly censor dissent.
Gates and Fauci engaged in almost daily communications throughout the lockdown, and coordinated virtually every decision about COVID-19 countermeasures with each other.
They effectively placed global populations under house arrest, and flooded the mainstream and social media with propaganda crafted to terrorize.
To justify the implementation of draconian measures, Gates and Fauci systematically stoked irrational fears and stifled common sense to induce a form of mass psychosis known as “Stockholm Syndrome.”
They inspired in their hostages gratitude towards their captors, and the belief that total obedience and unquestioning submission to an experimental, shoddily tested, fast-tracked, zero-liability COVID vaccine was their only hope for safe escape from captivity and “return to normal.”
As the pandemic unfolded, Gates and Fauci:
- endorsed deceptive modeling and algorithms to deliberately exaggerate casualty projections for COVID-19 to rationalize draconian lockdowns.
- anointed fraudulent PCR tests in order to deliberately inflate numbers of COVID cases by some 90%.
- facilitated the adoption of new, unprecedented instructions for coroners to fraudulently attribute COVID as the cause of death “on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death” — with or without a positive COVID-19 test.
- discredited all early COVID-19 treatments like hydroxychloroquine and many other remedies that could have quickly ended the pandemic and saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
Predictably, during the COVID crisis, Fauci’s policies resulted in the U.S. accounting for 20% of the world’s COVID deaths, despite making up only 4.2% of the global population — another example of Fauci failing upward.
As my book makes clear: Fauci’s COVID policies also spawned new insidious authoritarianism — and propelled America down a slippery slope toward a grim future as a dark totalitarian security and surveillance state.

Kennedy, Jr.’s summary of his new book covers most of the major points about the events that have permitted totalitarian-minded apparatchiks such as Fauci and his willing abettors in state governments controlled by totalitarian-minded elitists who belong to the organized crime family of the false opposite of the naturalist “left” to impose a wave of terror upon people about a virus that has a mortality rate of less than one percent in those who do not suffer from one or another preexisting co-morbidities. Although I have said this a few times before, I will say it again: Sin is more deadly than the coronavirus. Sin is more deadly than any virus. Period.
Fourth, the numbers of those who were said to be infected with the CCP/China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19/Coronavirus last year and the numbers of those who are said to be infected now by various variants have been and continue to be the result of false positive results from the phony-baloney test kits, many of which are spiked with the virus to produce false positives and thus feed into the plandemicists’ narrative of a “global pandemic” requiring masks, lockdowns, quarantines of those who are not really infected and, ultimately, the push for various vaccines, which has spawned a cottage industry of vaccine mandates and “passports.” This is not about public health. This is about social control.
VI. The Myth of a Pandemic of the “Unvaccinated”
Fifth, the current “outbreak,” which is being attributed to the “unvaccinated” by healthcare “professionals” is being caused by the spike proteins in those who are vaccinated, thereby causing many of the unvaccinated to become infected, something that, of course, was part of the “global reset of humanity” after all:
A groundbreaking preprint paper by the prestigious Oxford University Clinical Research Group, published Aug. 10 in The Lancet, includes alarming findings devastating to the COVID vaccine rollout.
The study found vaccinated individuals carry 251 times the load of COVID-19 viruses in their nostrils compared to the unvaccinated.
While moderating the symptoms of infection, the jab allows vaccinated individuals to carry unusually high viral loads without becoming ill at first, potentially transforming them into presymptomatic superspreaders.
This phenomenon may be the source of the shocking post-vaccination surges in heavily vaccinated populations globally.
The paper’s authors, Chau et al, demonstrated widespread vaccine failure and transmission under tightly controlled circumstances in a hospital lockdown in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam.
The scientists studied healthcare workers who were unable to leave the hospital for two weeks. The data showed that fully vaccinated workers — about two months after injection with the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine (AZD1222) — acquired, carried and presumably transmitted the Delta variant to their vaccinated colleagues.
They almost certainly also passed the Delta infection to susceptible unvaccinated people, including their patients. Sequencing of strains confirmed the workers transmitted SARS-CoV-2 to one another.
This is consistent with the observations in the U.S. from Farinholt and colleagues, and congruent with comments by the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conceding COVID-19 vaccines have failed to stop transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
On Feb. 11, the World Health Organization indicated the AZD1222 vaccine efficacy of 63.09% against the development of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. The conclusions of the Chau paper support the warnings by leading medical experts that the partial, non-sterilizing immunity from the three notoriously “leaky” COVID-19 vaccines allow carriage of 251 times the viral load of SARS-CoV-2 as compared to samples from the pre-vaccination era in 2020.
Thus, we have a key piece to the puzzle explaining why the Delta outbreak is so formidable — fully vaccinated are participating as COVID-19 patients and acting as powerful Typhoid Mary-style super-spreaders of the infection.
Vaccinated individuals are blasting out concentrated viral explosions into their communities and fueling new COVID surges. Vaccinated healthcare workers are almost certainly infecting their coworkers and patients, causing horrendous collateral damage.
Continued vaccination will only make this problem worse, particularly among frontline doctors and nurses workers who are caring for vulnerable patients.
Health systems should drop vaccine mandates immediately, take stock of COVID-19 recovered workers who are robustly immune to Delta and consider the ramifications of their current vaccinated healthcare workers as potential threats to high risk patients and coworkers. (Study: Fully Vaccinated Healthcare Workers Carry 251 Times Viral Load, Pose Threat to Unvaccinated Patients, Co-Workers.)
My advice to my fellow unvaccinated readers: Wear a truly blessed Miraculous Medal and beg Our Lady for her graces to persevere in a state of Sanctifying Grace at all times. The same “professionals” who believe in the denial of the Sovereignty of God over the sanctity and fecundity of marriage by means of contraceptive pills, potions and devices and who believe in and practicing the systematic killing of the innocent preborn in their mothers’ wombs, the execution of living human beings under the aegis of the myth known as “brain death,” the starvation and dehydration of brain damaged human beings, “physician-assisted” suicide” and the practice of euthanasia in the form of “palliative care”/hospice are fully capable of being diabolically inspired to device plans to kill off both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated as their propagandists stoke the fears of those who fear bodily death more than the eternal death of their souls, if, that is, they give the latter any thought at all.
Dr. Joseph Mercola, who was named by the nefarious statist and congenital liar in the White House, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., as one of the “dirty dozen” of “vaccine deniers,” provided his own analysis about the current “spike” in cases of the CCP/China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19 Coronavirus, explaining that much of the current hysteria has been caused by identical social media posts generated by robots (“bots”) and that, as indicated above, most of the current cases of infection are occurring as a result of “breakthrough” cases in those already vaccinated:
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the White House and most mainstream media, what we have now is a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” with 95% to 99% of COVID-related hospitalizations and deaths being attributed to the unvaccinated
- To achieve that statistic, the CDC included hospitalization and mortality data from January through June 2021. The vast majority of the United States population was unvaccinated during that timeframe
- January 1, 2021, only 0.5% of the U.S. population had received a COVID shot. By mid-April, an estimated 31% had received one or more shots, and as of June 15, 48.7% were fully “vaccinated”
- Natural immunity offers robust protection against all variants, whereas vaccine-induced immunity can’t. The reason for this is because when you recover from the natural infection, you have both antibodies and T cells against all parts of the virus, not just the spike protein
- According to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Delta variant is both more transmissible and more dangerous than the original virus and previous variants, but real-world data show it is actually weaker and far less dangerous, even though it does spread more easily
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the White House and most mainstream media, what we have now is a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”1
According to the official narrative, 99% of COVID-19 deaths and 95% of COVID-related hospitalizations are occurring among the unvaccinated. In a July 16, 2021, White House press briefing,2 CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky claimed “over 97% of people who are entering the hospital right now are unvaccinated.”
But as reported by Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham on “The Ingraham Angle,” “that statistic is grossly misleading,”3 and in an August 5, 2021, video statement, Walensky inadvertently revealed how that 95% to 99% statistic was created.
Grossly Misleading Data Manipulation
As it turns out, to achieve those statistics, the CDC included hospitalization and mortality data from January through June 2021. It does not include more recent data or data related to the Delta variant, which is now the most prevalent strain in circulation. The problem is, the vast majority of the United States population was unvaccinated during that timeframe.
January 1, 2021, only 0.5% of the U.S. population had received a COVID shot. By mid-April, an estimated 31% had received one or more shots,4 and as of June 15, 48.7% were fully “vaccinated.”5 Keep in mind that you’re not “fully vaccinated” until two weeks after your second dose (in the case of Pfizer or Moderna), which is given six weeks after your first shot. This is according to the CDC.6
So, those receiving an initial dose in June, for example, won’t be “fully vaccinated” until eight weeks later, sometime in July or August.
By using statistics from a time period when the U.S. as a whole was largely unvaccinated, the CDC is now claiming we’re in a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” in an effort to demonize those who still have not agreed to receive this experimental gene modification injection.
Selective Pressure Promotes Emergence of New Variants
Here’s what Canadian viral immunologist and vaccine researcher Dr. Byram Bridle told Ingraham about the claim that we’re in a pandemic of the unvaxxed, and that the unvaccinated are hotbeds for dangerous variants:
“Absolutely, it’s untrue to be calling this a pandemic of the unvaccinated. And it’s certainly untrue … that the unvaccinated are somehow driving the emergence of the novel variants. This goes against every scientific principle that we understand.
The reality is, the nature of the vaccines we are using right now, and the way we’re rolling them out, are going to be applying selective pressure to this virus to promote the emergence of new variants. Again, this is based on sound principles.
We have to look no further than … the emergence of antibiotic resistance … The principle is this: If you have a biological entity that is prone to mutation — and the SARS-CoV-2, like all coronaviruses is prone to mutation — and you apply a narrowly focused selective pressure that is nonlethal, and you do this over a long period of time, this is the recipe for driving the emergence of novel variants.
This is exactly what we’re doing. Our vaccines are focused on a single protein of the virus, so the virus only has to alter one protein, and the vaccines don’t come close to providing sterilizing immunity.
People who are vaccinated still get infected, it only seems particularly good at blunting the disease, and what that tells you therefore is that these vaccines in the vast majority of people are applying a nonlethal pressure, narrowly focused on one protein, and the vaccine rollout is occurring over a long period of time. That’s the recipe for driving variants.”
Natural Immunity Offers Far Superior Protection
Bridle also explains why natural immunity offers robust protection against all variants, whereas vaccine-induced immunity can’t. When you acquire the infection naturally, your body develops antibodies against ALL of the viral proteins whereas the COVID shots only trigger antibodies against one, namely the spike protein.
As mentioned above, when you have antibodies against just one of the viral proteins, the virus only needs to mutate that one protein in order to evade your immune system. When you have natural immunity, on the other hand, your antibodies will recognize all parts of the virus, so even if the spike protein is mutated, your body will recognize other parts of the virus and mount an attack against those.
That SARS-CoV-2 works the same way other viruses do was shown in a Nature Reviews Immunology study7 by Alessandro Sette and Shane Crotty, published in October 2020. The study, “Cross-Reactive Memory T Cells and Herd Immunity to SARS-CoV-2” argued that naturally-acquired immunity against SARS-CoV-2 is potent, long-lasting and very broad in scope, as you develop both antibodies and T cells that target multiple components of the virus and not just one.
If we are to depend on vaccine-induced immunity, as public health officials are urging us to do, we’ll end up on a never-ending booster treadmill. Boosters will absolutely be necessary, as the shot offers such narrow protection against a single protein of the virus. Already, data around the world show vaccine-induced protection is waning rapidly in the face of new variants, and Moderna has publicly stated that the need for additional boosters is expected.8
How Dangerous Is the Delta Variant?
According to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Delta variant is both more transmissible and more dangerous than the original virus and previous variants. July 4, 2021, he told NBC News:9
“It is more effective and efficient in its ability to transmit from person to person. And studies that we've seen where they have been the variant that's dominated in other countries, it's clear that it appears to be more lethal in the sense of more serious — allow you to get more serious disease leading to hospitalization, and in some cases leading to deaths.”
In a June 29, 2021, interview,10 Fauci called the Delta variant “a game-changer” for unvaccinated people, warning it will devastate the unvaccinated population while vaccinated individuals are protected against it.
The Delta is more contagious but it’s far less deadly, far less worrisome. In fact, it’s a much weaker virus than both the U.K. [Alpha] and the South African [Beta] variants. ~ Dr. Peter McCullough
Remember, Fauci is not a clinician and has never treated someone infected with SARS-CoV-2. Other health experts and practicing physicians who treat COVID-19 patients disagree with Fauci’s claims, arguing that not only is the Delta variant not more dangerous, it’s certainly not more dangerous for the unvaccinated.
As reported by Ingraham in June 2021 (video above), there’s an evolutionary genetics theory called Muller’s Ratchet, which states that as an outbreak starts to peter out, the virus tends to mutate into a more transmissible form, but at the same time it grows weaker, causing far less serious infection. According to epidemiologist and cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough, this is exactly what we’re seeing. He told Ingraham:
“The good news is on the 18th of June, the United Kingdom presented their 16th report11 on the mutations — and they’re doing a great job, much better than our CDC — and what they demonstrated is that the Delta is more contagious but it’s far less deadly, far less worrisome. In fact, it’s a much weaker virus than both the U.K. [Alpha] and the South African [Beta] variants.”
Spike Mutations Render Vaccinated Vulnerable to Delta
Importantly, the Delta variant contains three different mutations, all in the spike protein. This, McCullough explains, allows this variant to evade the immune responses in those who have received the COVID jabs — but not those who have natural immunity which, again, is much broader. In a June 30, 2021, appearance on Fox News (video above), McCullough stated:12
“It is very clear from the UK Technical Briefing13 that was published June 18th that the vaccine provides no protection against the Delta variant. It’s a very mild variant.
Whether you get the vaccine or not, patients will get some very mild symptoms like a cold and they can be easily managed … Patients who have severe symptoms or at high risk, we can use simple drug combinations at home and get them through the illness. So, there’s no reason now to push vaccinations.”
Children’s Health Defense chief scientific officer Brian Hooker, Ph.D., has echoed McCullough’s sentiments. The Defender quotes Hooker:14
“What we’re seeing is virus evolution 101. Viruses like to survive, so killing the host (i.e. the human who is infected) defeats the purpose because killing the host kills the virus, too. For this reason, new variants of viruses that circulate widely through the population tend to become more transmissive but less pathogenic. In other words, they will spread more easily from person to person, but they will cause less damage to the host.
The vaccine focuses on the spike protein, whereas natural immunity focuses on the entire virus.
Natural immunity — with a more diverse array of antibodies and T-cell receptors — will provide better protection overall as it has more targets in which to attack the virus, whereas vaccine-derived immunity only focuses on one portion of the virus, in this case, the spike protein. Once that portion of the virus has mutated sufficiently, the vaccine no longer is effective.”
Real-World Data Show Most of Infected are Fully ‘Vaccinated’
Real-world data from areas with high COVID jab rates show the complete converse of what media, the CDC and White House officials are telling us. In addition to the British Technical Briefing No. 16,15 cited above, we have additional data from Israel, Scotland, Massachusetts and Gibraltar:
•August 1, 2021, director of Israel’s Public Health Services, Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis, announced half of all COVID-19 infections were among the fully vaccinated.16 Signs of more serious disease among fully vaccinated are also emerging, she said, particularly in those over the age of 60.
A few days later, August 5, Dr. Kobi Haviv, director of the Herzog Hospital in Jerusalem, appeared on Channel 13 News, reporting that 95% of severely ill COVID-19 patients are fully vaccinated, and that they make up 85% to 90% of COVID-related hospitalizations overall.17 As of August 2, 2021, 66.9% of Israelis had received at least one dose of Pfizer’s injection, which is used exclusively in Israel; 62.2% had received two doses.18
•In Scotland, official data on hospitalizations and deaths show 87% of those who have died from COVID-19 in the third wave that began in early July were vaccinated.19
•A CDC investigation of an outbreak in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, between July 6 through July 25, 2021, found 74% of those who received a diagnosis of COVID19, and 80% of hospitalizations, were among the fully vaccinated.20,21 Most, but not all, had the Delta variant of the virus.
The CDC also found that fully vaccinated individuals who contract the infection have as high a viral load in their nasal passages as unvaccinated individuals who get infected.22 This means the vaccinated are just as infectious as the unvaccinated.
•In Gibraltar, which has a 99% COVID jab compliance rate, COVID cases have risen by 2,500% since June 1, 2021.23
While those who benefit from keeping the pandemic going would like you to cower in fear at the thought of the Delta variant, there’s really no evidence that it’s any worse than the original. It’s more transmissible, yes, but far less dangerous, as its primary symptoms are that of a regular cold.
According to Harvard and Stanford professors, the actual number of Americans dying from or with COVID-19 are actually at an all-time low, so alarmism is uncalled for.24
And, as for viral social media posts by doctors and nurses claiming hospitals are overflowing with unvaccinated COVID patients, don’t believe them. Most are bots. We’ve repeatedly seen evidence that fearmongering is being spread not by real people but by fake accounts run by artificial intelligence. This includes blue check accounts. Here’s a sampling of recent bot farm tweets trying to scare everyone:25
Don’t Fear It, Just Treat It
In closing, remember there are several different treatment protocols for COVID-19 that appear just as effective for variants as for the original virus, including the following:
- Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance’s I-MASS Prevention and At-Home Treatment protocol
- The FLCCC’s I-MASK+ Prevention and Early Outpatient Treatment protocol
- The FLCCC’s I-RECOVER management protocol for long-haul COVID-19 syndrome
- Nebulized hydrogen peroxide for prevention and treatment of COVID-19, as detailed in Dr. David Brownstein’s case paper26 and Dr. Thomas Levy’s free e-book, “Rapid Virus Recovery.” Levy believes nebulized hydrogen peroxide can also be an invaluable strategy for combating spike protein toxicity27 because, in addition to being a powerful antiviral, it will also augment and speed up cellular healing, in part by improving oxygenation.

Here is a suggestion for those of you who have not prayed hard enough to end your addiction to television/cable news/talk programs: pray harder. Truth is not to be found on television and the babblers of talk radio/television are, as a general rule, know less than the fictional Sergeant Hans Schultz of Hogan’s Heroes.
VII. As the “Salvific” Vaccines Kill and Injure Thousands
Sixth, the vaccines are continuing to kill many while injuring thousands of others, although we will never know their long-term effects until well into the future, probably after I am long dead. Even the “official” statistics released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which has been inflating and exaggerating the numbers of people infected with the CCP/China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19/Coronavirus from the very beginning of the plandemic while hiding the real numbers of those killed or injured by the vaccines by resorting to various sleights of hands (directions given to medical “professionals,” including coroners, to list “other” causes of death, which is precisely the opposite of what has been done since March of 2020 as instructions were given to list almost every death, including those caused by automobile accidents, as caused by the specter of the omnipresent virus):
Data released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed that between Dec. 14, 2020 and Aug. 13, 2021, a total of 595,622 total adverse events were reported to VAERS, including 13,068 deaths — an increase of 702 over the previous week.
There were 81,050 reports of serious injuries, including deaths, during the same time period — up 10,945 compared with the previous week.
- Excluding “foreign reports” filed in VAERS, 464,769 adverse events, including 6,018 deaths and 37,806 serious injuries, were reported in the U.S. Of the 6,018 U.S. deaths reported as of Aug. 13, 13% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination, 19% occurred within 48 hours of 17,025 total adverse events, including 1,018 rated as serious and 18 reported deaths. Two of the eighteen deaths were suicides.
- The most recent reported deaths include a 15-year-old boy (VAERS I.D. 1498080) who previously had COVID, was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy in May 2021 and died four days after receiving his second dose of Pfizer’s vaccine on June 18, when he collapsed on the soccer field and went into ventricular tachycardia; and a 13-year-old girl (VAERS I.D. 1505250) who died after suffering a heart condition after receiving her first dose of Pfizer.
- Other deaths include two 13-year-old boys (VAERS I.D. 1406840 and 1431289) who died two days after receiving a Pfizer vaccine, a 13-year-old boy who died after receiving Moderna (VAERS I.D. 1463061), three 15-year-olds (VAERS I.D. 1187918, 1382906 and 1242573), five 16-year-olds (VAERS I.D. 1420630, 1466009, 1225942, 1475434, and 1386841) and three 17-year-olds (VAERS I.D. 1199455, 1388042 and 1420762).
- 2,525 reports of anaphylaxis among 12- to 17-year-olds with 99% of cases
- attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine.
- 432 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis (heart inflammation) with 426 cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine.
- 86 reports of blood clotting disorders, with all cases attributed to Pfizer.
The data come directly from reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S.
Every Friday, VAERS makes public all vaccine injury reports received as of a specified date, usually about a week prior to the release date. Reports submitted to VAERS require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed.
This week’s total U.S. VAERS data, from Dec. 14, 2020 to Aug. 13, 2021, for all age groups combined, show:
- 21% of deaths were related to cardiac disorders.
- 54% of those who died were male, 43% were female and the remaining death reports did not include gender of the deceased.
- The average age of death was 73.1.
- As of Aug 13., 2,947 pregnant women reported adverse events related to COVID vaccines, including 960 reports of miscarriage or premature birth.
- Of the 2,607 cases of Bell’s Palsy reported, 50% were attributed to Pfizer vaccinations, 43% to Moderna and 7% to J&J.
- 522 reports of Guillain-Barré Syndrome, with 40% of cases attributed to Pfizer, 34% to Moderna and 25% to J&J.
- 126,905 reports of anaphylaxis with 44% of cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine, 47% to Moderna and 8% to J&J.
- 8,396 reports of blood clotting disorders. Of those, 3,586 reports were attributed to Pfizer, 3,510 reports to Moderna and 1,695 reports to J&J.
- 3,033 cases of myocarditis and pericarditis with 1,335 cases attributed to Pfizer, 703 cases to Moderna and 78 cases to J&J’s COVID vaccine.
Booster shots coming for most Americans 8 months after second dose
The Biden administration decided most Americans should get a COVID vaccine booster dose eight months after they received their second shot, despite consensus among U.S. health experts last month there wasn’t enough data to recommend boosters for the general population.
“Based on our latest assessment, the current protection against severe disease, hospitalization and death could diminish in the months ahead,” the officials, led by Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC, and Dr. Janet Woodcock, acting commissioner for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, said Wednesday.
The plan is still subject to approval from the FDA and the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee, but officials say they are prepared to begin the rollout of booster shots starting the week of Sept. 20.
However, the CDC has pushed back by one week a meeting by a group of outside advisers who were set to review COVID booster shots as debate heats up over the need for a third dose, according to Bloomberg.
The CDC’s Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices, was scheduled to meet and possibly make a recommendation about the need for boosters on Aug. 24, but is now set to convene over two days starting Aug. 30.
The first boosters are likely to go to nursing home residents, healthcare workers and emergency workers, followed by older people who were near the front of the line when vaccinations began late last year and then the general population.
Federal health officials are waiting for more data before offering guidance for J&J vaccine recipients. However, officials expect a booster will also be needed.
CDC studies show vaccine protection wanes over time
Three studies released Wednesday by the CDC confirm COVID vaccine effectiveness against infection has decreased over time, and is less effective in combating the Delta variant.
One study assessed Pfizer and Moderna’s effectiveness over time against infections among nursing home residents, and found it dropped from 75% pre-Delta to 53% when Delta became dominant. The study didn’t differentiate between asymptomatic, symptomatic and severe infections.
Another study used data from 21 hospitals to estimate the effectiveness of Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines against hospitalization over time. Among 1,129 patients who received two doses of a mRNA vaccine, vaccine effectiveness was 86% 2 to12 weeks after vaccination and 84% at 13 to 24 weeks.
The third study, using New York state data, found all three vaccines’ effectiveness against infection dropped from 92% in early May to 80% at the end of July, but the effectiveness against hospitalization remained relatively stable.
Data from the three reports in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, helped convince the Biden administration to recommend booster shots to people eight months after receiving their second dose, despite no completed late-stage clinical trials assessing the safety, efficacy and immunogenicity of a third dose. . . .
CHD sues Rutgers over COVID vaccine mandate
Children’s Health Defense (CHD) along with 18 students on Monday filed a lawsuit in federal court against Rutgers University, its board of governors, Rutgers President Jonathan Holloway and others over the university’s decision to mandate COVID vaccines for students attending school in the fall.
The lawsuit states that in a free society, “all people have the right to decide their own medical treatment — especially to decide what to inject into their bodies. And every person has the right to make that decision voluntarily, free from coercion by anyone, and to be fully informed of the benefits and especially the risks of that decision.”
The lawsuit alleges Rutgers’ policy is a violation of the right to informed consent and the right to refuse unwanted medical treatments.
The complaint also alleges the policy is a breach of contract because in January 2021, the university assured students COVID vaccines would not be required in order to attend school. Just two months later, Rutgers flip-flopped and issued new requirements for taking the shot prior to attending classes.
According to the plaintiffs, Rutgers is working with all three manufacturers — Pfizer, Moderna and J&J — to study and develop their vaccines in on-going clinical trials, and will benefit financially if more people are required to take the shots which, until fully licensed by the FDA, are defined by the FDA as experimental.
The Rutgers requirement also constitutes a denial of equal protection, as administration, faculty and staff are not required to take the vaccine. It also conflicts with federal and state law, as neither has enacted legislation requiring COVID vaccines for citizens.
165 days and counting, CDC ignores The Defender’s inquiries
According to the CDC website, “the CDC follows up on any report of death to request additional information and learn more about what occurred and to determine whether the death was a result of the vaccine or unrelated.”
On March 8, The Defender contacted the CDC with a written list of questions about reported deaths and injuries related to COVID vaccines. We have made repeated attempts, by phone and email, to obtain a response to our questions.
Despite multiple phone and email communications with many people at the CDC, and despite being told that our request was in the system and that someone would respond, we have not yet received answers to any of the questions we submitted. It has been 165 days since we sent our first email to the CDC requesting information. (13,000 Deaths, Nearly 600,000 Adverse Events Reported After COVID Vaccines, as Debate Heats Up Over Boosters • Children's Health Defense.)
Here is the report for vaccine injuries for the week ending August 20, 2021, after the Ceners for Disease Control and Prevention released the new statistics to the public:
Data released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed that between Dec. 14, 2020 and Aug. 20, 2021, a total of 623,343 total adverse events were reported to VAERS, including 13,627 deaths — an increase of 559 over the data released last week.
There were 84,466 reports of serious injuries, including deaths, during the same time period — up 3,416 compared with the previous week.
Excluding “foreign reports” filed in VAERS, 488,318 adverse events, including 6,128 deaths and 38,765 serious injuries, were reported in the U.S. between Dec. 14, 2020 and Aug. 20, 2021.between Dec. 14, 2020 and Aug. 20, 2021.
Of the 6,128 U.S. deaths reported as of Aug. 20, 13% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination, 18% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination and 32% occurred in people who experienced an onset of symptoms within 48 hours of being vaccinated.
In the U.S., 360.3 million COVID vaccine doses had been administered as of Aug. 20. This includes: 203 million doses of Pfizer, 143 million doses of Moderna and 14 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson (J&J).
The data come directly from reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S.
Every Friday, VAERS makes public all vaccine injury reports received as of a specified date, usually about a week prior to the release date. Reports submitted to VAERS require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed.
This week’s U.S. data for 12- to 17-year-olds show:
- 17,518 total adverse events, including 1,047 rated as serious and 18 reported deaths. Two of the 18 deaths were suicides.
- The most recent reported deaths include a 15-year-old boy (VAERS I.D. 1498080) who previously had COVID, was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy in May 2021 and died four days after receiving his second dose of Pfizer’s vaccine on June 18, when he collapsed on the soccer field and went into ventricular tachycardia; and a 13-year-old girl (VAERS I.D. 1505250) who died after suffering a heart condition after receiving her first dose of Pfizer.

BBC radio host died of COVID vaccine complications, coroner confirms
An award-winning BBC radio host died as a result of complications from her first dose of AstraZeneca’s COVID vaccine, coroner Karen Dilks concluded.
Lisa Shaw, 44, received her first dose of AstraZeneca on April 29. On May 13, she was taken by ambulance to University Hospital of North Durham after having a headache for several days. She was transferred to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, where she received a number of treatments, which included cutting away part of her skull to relieve the pressure on her brain. She died May 21.
According to the BBC, Tuomo Polvikoski, a pathologist, told the coroner Shaw was fit and healthy before receiving the vaccine. When asked about the underlying cause of the fatal clotting on her brain, Polvikoski said the clinical evidence “strongly supports the idea that it was, indeed, vaccine-induced.”
FDA grants full approval of Pfizer vaccine, critics blast agency for lack of data, scientific debate
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Aug. 23 granted full approval to Pfizer’s “Comirnaty” COVID vaccine for people 16 years and older — without allowing public discussion or holding a formal advisory committee meeting to discuss data.
This is the first COVID vaccine approved by the FDA, and is expected to open the door to more vaccine mandates by employers and universities.
According to The Washington Post, Pfizer’s vaccine approval was the fastest in the agency’s history, coming less than four months after Pfizer/BioNTech filed for licensing on May 7.
According to an article published Aug. 20 in the BMJ, transparency advocates criticized the FDA decision not to hold a formal advisory committee meeting to discuss Pfizer’s application for full approval — an important mechanism used to scrutinize data.
Last year the FDA said it was “committed to use an advisory committee composed of independent experts to ensure deliberations about authorisation or licensure are transparent for the public.”
But in a statement to The BMJ, the FDA said it did not believe a meeting was necessary ahead of the expected full FDA approval.
Kim Witczak, a drug safety advocate who serves as a consumer representative on the FDA’s Psychopharmacologic Drugs Advisory Committee, said it’s concerning that full approval is based on only six months’ worth of data — despite clinical trials designed for two years — and there’s no control group after Pfizer offered the product to placebo participants before the trials were completed.
FDA approval letter causes confusion, raises questions
Buried in the fine print of Monday’s approval of the Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine are two critical facts that affect whether the vaccine can be mandated, and whether Pfizer can be held liable for injuries, according to Children’s Health Defense Chairman Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Dr. Meryl Nass.
Kennedy and Nass, who accused the FDA of pulling a “bait and switch” on the public, said the FDA acknowledged that while Pfizer has “insufficient stocks” of the newly licensed Comirnaty vaccine available, there is “a significant amount” of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine — produced under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) — still available for use.
The FDA decreed that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine under the EUA should remain unlicensed — but that it can be used “interchangeably” (page 2, footnote 8) with the newly licensed Comirnaty product.
Second, the FDA said the licensed Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine and the existing EUA Pfizer vaccine are “legally distinct,” but said their differences do not “impact safety or effectiveness.”
Kennedy and Nass said EUA products are experimental under U.S. law. Both the Nuremberg Code and federal regulations provide that no one can force a human being to participate in this experiment.
Under 21 U.S. Code Sec.360bbb-3(e)(1)(A)(ii)(III), “authorization for medical products for use in emergencies,” it is unlawful to deny someone a job or an education because they refuse to be an experimental subject, they wrote.
At least for the moment, the Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine has no liability shield. Vials of the branded product, which say “Comirnaty” on the label, are subject to the same product liability laws as other U.S. products, Kennedy and Nass said, adding that “Pfizer is therefore unlikely to allow any American to take a Comirnaty vaccine until it can somehow arrange immunity for this product.”
On Thursday, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) wrote the FDA raising similar concerns and questions about the agency’s approval of the Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine.
In his letter, Johnson asked FDA Acting Commissioner Dr. Janet Woodruff why the FDA didn’t grant full licensure for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine that is already in use and available in the U.S., and how the agency will ensure that those being vaccinated under mandates will receive the FDA-approved version.
As COVID surges among fully vaccinated, CDC fails to properly track breakthrough cases
As The Defender reported Aug. 24, the most recent data from the CDC shows 9,716 breakthrough cases resulting in hospitalization or death as of Aug. 16. However, the agency states those numbers are underreported.
On May 1, the CDC made a decision to stop tracking all breakthrough cases and instead only track cases in the fully vaccinated that resulted in hospitalization or death. That leaves public health officials without the full data that can answer questions as the new Delta variant spreads.
In an interview with PBS News Hour, Jessica Malaty Rivera, an infectious disease epidemiologist and research fellow at Boston Children’s Hospital and former science communications lead at the COVID Tracking Project, said not tracking breakthrough data with as much granularity as we would hope is “basically creating blind spots in our understanding of the true impact of the virus, especially the variants that are circulating so widely in the United States.”
The New York Times recently published data from seven states — California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Oregon, Utah, Vermont and Virginia — that keeps particularly detailed records on breakthrough cases.
Analysis showed that in six of the states, breakthrough infections made up 18% to 28% of all newly diagnosed cases of COVID in the past several weeks, and 12% to 24% of all COVID-related hospitalizations, with reported deaths higher than the CDC’s original estimate of .5%.
Pfizer scheme to churn out ‘variant-specific’ vaccines will lead to more variants, experts warn
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla on Tuesday told Fox News the company has a system in place to turn around a variant-specific jab within 95 days in the likelihood a vaccine-resistant COVID strain emerges, but experts warn that strategy will backfire.
Bourla said Pfizer hasn’t identified any variants that could escape the vaccine yet. However, that statement contradicts the findings of numerous studies by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) which show waning immunity against the Delta variant.
Dr. Peter McCullough, board certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular diseases and clinical lipidology, said in a recent podcast: “There are clearly sources of information to suggest that once we start vaccination and we get more than 25% of the population vaccinated, we will allow one of the variants that’s in the background to emerge because it’s resistant to the vaccine.”
“That [theory] makes sense,” McCullough said. “Just like an antibiotic, once we get to a certain percentage of coverage with an antibiotic, we’ll allow a resistant bacteria to move forward.”
According to Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of mRNA and DNA vaccines, worldwide expert in RNA technologies and Harvard-trained physician, continued mass vaccination campaigns will enable new, more infectious viral variants.
Even if we had complete uptake in vaccines and complete masking, Malone said, CDC data makes it clear that at best we can slow the spread of Delta but we can’t stop it.
New CDC studies show waning vaccine immunity to Delta variant
Two studies released Aug. 24 by the CDC showed fully vaccinated Americans’ immunity to COVID is waning as the Delta variant now makes up 98.8% of U.S. COVID cases.
One study found vaccine effectiveness among frontline healthcare workers declined by nearly 30 percentage points since the Delta variant became the dominant strain in the U.S.
The analysis also concluded COVID vaccines were only 80% effective in preventing infection among the frontline healthcare workers.
The second study examined 43,000 Los Angeles residents 16 and older. Between May 1 and July 25, 25.3% of COVID infections occurred in fully vaccinated persons and 3.3% were in partially vaccinated persons.
The CDC cautioned in its report that vaccine effectiveness “might also be declining as time since vaccination increases and because of poor precision in estimates due to limited number of weeks of observation.”
The publication of the new studies followed a week after the CDC released its first three reports on vaccine efficacy — which also showed waning vaccine protection against the Delta variant.
172 days and counting, CDC ignores The Defender’s inquiries
According to the CDC website, “the CDC follows up on any report of death to request additional information and learn more about what occurred and to determine whether the death was a result of the vaccine or unrelated.”
On March 8, The Defender contacted the CDC with a written list of questions about reported deaths and injuries related to COVID vaccines. We have made repeated attempts, by phone and email, to obtain a response to our questions.
Despite multiple phone and email communications with many people at the CDC, and despite being told that our request was in the system and that someone would respond, we have not yet received answers to any of the questions we submitted. It has been 172 days since we sent our first email to the CDC requesting information. (COVID Vaccine Injury Reports Jump by 27,000 in One Week, FDA Pulls ‘Bait and Switch’ With Pfizer Vaccine Approval • Children's Health Defense.)
Officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who have been busy devising Orwellian language to refer to human beings (Priorities? CDC Issues Woke Speech Code for 'Health Equity'). can give no answers to the “The Defender” section of the Children’s Health Defense organization as they release only those cases that are clear-cut and cannot be tied in some way to some other cause(s), something that is very similar to the “slow-walking” of repeated efforts by Congressional Republicans in 2016 and 2017 to secure information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation about Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton’s email scandal and the absolute stonewalling by career officials at the FBI and in other offices at the United States Department of Justice to provide documents relating to Madame Defarge and Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro to calumniate then candidate Donald John Trump as a stooge of Russian President Vladimir Putin. In others, the CDC is filled with government apparatchiks who have as much regard for the truth as White House Press Secretary Jennifer Psaki.
It should come as no surprise, therefore, that officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are not being forthright about the actual numbers of “breakthrough” cases that have occurred in those people who have been so unfortunate as to be duped by the mass hysteria into getting one or more of the “vaccines” that were pushed initially by then President Donald John Trump, who gave Anthony Fauci the sort of exposure, fame and power for which the career sycophant long desired and does not seem in any kind of rush to relinquish at the age of eighty-one, under “Operation Warp Speed”:
As the number of breakthrough COVID cases continues to climb, there is growing concern fully vaccinated people may be more vulnerable to serious illness than previously thought — and some fully vaccinated people now sick with the virus are speaking out.
According to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were 9,716 breakthrough cases resulting in hospitalization or death as of Aug. 16. However, the agency states those numbers are underreported. On May 1, the CDC made a decision to stop tracking all breakthrough cases and instead only track cases in the fully vaccinated that resulted in hospitalization or death.
That leaves public health officials without the full data that can answer questions as the new Delta variant spreads.
In an interview with PBS News Hour, Jessica Malaty Rivera, an infectious disease epidemiologist and research fellow at Boston Children’s Hospital and former science communications lead at the COVID Tracking Project, said not tracking breakthrough data with as much granularity as we would hope is “basically creating blind spots in our understanding of the true impact of the virus, especially the variants that are circulating so widely in the United States.”
Rivera said she has yet to see an explicit explanation for why the CDC stopped tracking all breakthrough cases. “I’ve heard rumors of things like lack of resources, lack of funding, lack of staff. But to me, it seems pretty, from an epidemiology standpoint, not defensible,” she said.
A breakthrough case refers to a person who is diagnosed with COVID after being fully vaccinated. A person is considered fully vaccinated 14 days after receiving the second dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna COVID vaccine, or two weeks after receiving the single-dose Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccine.
The New York Times recently published data from seven states — California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Oregon, Utah, Vermont and Virginia — that keeps particularly detailed records on breakthrough cases.
Analysis showed that in six of the states, breakthrough infections made up 18% to 28% of all newly diagnosed cases of COVID in the past several weeks, and 12% to 24% of all COVID-related hospitalizations, with reported deaths higher than the CDC’s original estimate of .5%.
The figures on non-hospitalized breakthrough infections are also assumed to be underestimations since many fully vaccinated people who become infected may not feel sick enough to be tested for the virus, The Times reported.
About 30% of the new COVID cases in Los Angeles are breakthrough cases, Deadline reported. The number is up from 13% in July and 5% in April.
As of Aug. 17, more than 12,500 fully vaccinated Massachusetts residents had tested positive for COVID and an additional 18 had died, according to NBC Boston.
Fully vaccinated celebrities, elected officials speak out after getting COVID
Melissa Joan Hart, the former “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” star is “really mad” she has a breakthrough case. Hart shared on Instagram Aug. 19 that despite being vaccinated, she got COVID.
“I never do videos but I feel like this is important,” Hart, who recently moved to Tennessee, told her 1.6 million followers. “I got COVID. I am vaccinated. And I got COVID. And it’s bad. It’s weighing on my chest, it’s hard to breathe.”
Heart’s oldest son, Mason, also tested positive for COVID, as did her youngest son — who experienced no symptoms. Her middle child tested negative and her husband is still waiting for his results.
Hart blamed the vaccine’s failure to protect her on her kids not having to wear masks in school. Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee on Aug. 16 signed an executive order allowing parents to choose whether their child should wear a mask in school.
“I’m mad, really mad,” Hart said, “because we tried, and we took precautions and we cut our exposure by a lot. But we got a little lazy, and I think as a country we got lazy. And I’m really mad that my kids didn’t have to wear masks at school because I’m pretty sure that’s where this came from.”
Celebrity Hilary Duff, revealed she had COVID on Instagram Aug. 20. Duff said she was experiencing a bad headache, brain fog, sinus pressure and a loss of taste and smell despite being vaccinated.
“That Delta … she’s a little b****,” Duff wrote, referring to the variant that accounts for 98.8% of current U.S. infections, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Slipknot singer Corey Taylor, 47, was devastated after testing positive for COVID and was forced to call off his upcoming appearance at a Michigan pop culture convention this weekend, Rolling Stone reported.
“I wish I had better news,” said Taylor in a recorded video message last week on Facebook. “I woke up today and tested positive and I’m very, very sick.”
The singer assured fans he “should be okay” because it’s the flu and he’s vaccinated.
Rev. Jesse Jackson, and his wife, Jacqueline, remained under doctors’ observation Monday at a Chicago hospital after getting COVID. Both were “responding positively to treatments,” Politico reported.
The couple was admitted to Northwestern Memorial Hospital Aug. 20 so physicians could carefully monitor their condition, one of the couple’s five children, said in a statement.
Jackson, a Chicago civil rights leader, was fully vaccinated and received his first dose in January during a publicized event where he urged others to receive the vaccine as soon as possible.
Three U.S. senators — John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.), Angus King (I-Maine) and Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) — announced Aug. 19 they tested positive for COVID despite being fully vaccinated, CBS News reported.
“Despite taking precautions and receiving the vaccine, this morning I tested positive for COVID-19,” King tweeted. “While I am not feeling great, I’m definitely feeling much better than I would have without the vaccine.”
The news came days after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who also was fully vaccinated, tested positive for COVID.
Illinois state Sen. Dan McConchie announced Aug. 21 he had a “breakthrough” case of COVID. The Republican leader of the Illinois Senate said in a statement he was vaccinated against the virus this spring, and he urged others to get vaccinated.
COVID data show waning immunity
Of 514 patients in Israel hospitalized with COVID as of Aug. 15, 59% were fully vaccinated, according to an article from Science. The article cited national data tracked by Israel’s largest health management organization. The figures suggest breakthrough infections may be more common than previously thought.
Most of the vaccinated patients who were hospitalized, about 87%, were at least 60 years old.
“This is a very clear warning sign for the rest of the world,” said Ran Balicer, CIO at Clalit Health Services, Israel’s largest health maintenance organization. “If it can happen here, it can probably happen anywhere,” Balicer told Science.
Israel has one of the world’s highest COVID vaccination levels with 78% of the population over age 12 fully vaccinated — mostly with Pfizer’s vaccine. The country now has one of the highest infection rates in the world.
Brian Hooker, Ph.D., P.E., Children’s Health Defense chief scientific officer and professor of biology at Simpson University, said “What we’re seeing is virus evolution 101.”
Hooker said the more a variant deviates from the original sequence used for the vaccine, the less effective the vaccine will be on that variant, which could explain why fully vaccinated people are getting infected with the Delta variant.
This isn’t the case for natural immunity, Hooker explained:
“The vaccine focuses on the spike protein, whereas natural immunity focuses on the entire virus. Natural immunity — with a more diverse array of antibodies and T-cell receptors — will provide better protection overall as it has more targets in which to attack the virus, whereas vaccine-derived immunity only focuses on one portion of the virus, in this case, the spike protein. Once that portion of the virus has mutated sufficiently, the vaccine no longer is effective.”
As The Defender reported Aug 2, vaccinated people may play a key role in aiding the evolution of COVID variants.
According to research published July 30 in Scientific Reports, the highest risk for establishing a vaccine-resistant virus strain occurred when a large fraction of the population has already been vaccinated but the transmission is not controlled.
The data was consistent with a CDC study, also released July 30, which showed vaccinated people may transmit the Delta variant just as easily as the unvaccinated.
According to a pre-print study published Aug. 10 in The Lancet, vaccinated individuals carry 251 times the load of SARS-CoV-2 viruses in their nostrils compared to the unvaccinated. (As COVID Surges Among Fully Vaccinated, CDC Fails to Properly Track Breakthrough Cases.)
As if this information is not enough, a fully vaccinated woman died of the CCP/China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19/Coronavirus while onboard a death trap of excess called a Carnival lines cruise ship:
A 77-year-old woman who sailed aboard a Carnival cruise ship from Texas to Belize has reportedly died of COVID-19, despite being fully vaccinated.
Marilyn Tackett, a retired Sunday school teacher from Oklahoma, departed Galveston aboard the Carnival Vista on July 31 “so excited to take her first trip outside the US,” her granddaughter Tara wrote on a GoFundMe page.
“While on the Caribbean Cruise she got sick and diagnosed with covid in Belize,” the relative said.
The day before Tackett was diagnosed, on Aug. 3, she went on an excursion in Roatán, when the ship docked at the island about 40 miles off the northern coast of Honduras, the Amandala of Belize reported.
When the ship arrived in Belize the next day, the fully vaccinated woman declined to go on an excursion in the country, where her children disembarked for the tour, according to the news outlet.
When her family returned, Tackett was having difficulty breathing, so they called the ship’s medical personnel, who administered a COVID test that came back positive, the Amandala reported.
The ship’s doctor said she had to be placed on a ventilator and made arrangements for her to be transferred to a private hospital in Belize that demanded a payment of $5,000 before she could be admitted, according to the outlet.
Tackett’s insurance did not cover the fee, so her granddaughter reportedly raised money through GoFundMe to get her into intensive care
The severely ill woman was ultimately flown back to the US in an air ambulance but succumbed to the disease Aug. 14.
“We just wanted to get on here and Thank all of you for your support, love and prayers. Memaw fought as long as she could,” the family said on its fundraising page, referring to Tackett’s nickname.
“To know she’s reunited with lost loved ones and that she’s basking in The Lord’s presence now is a huge comfort.
“We’ll always miss and love her and continue to keep her legacy alive. We’ll continue to walk in Faith like she taught us and try to spread love and kindness like she did. Please continue to keep her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren in your prayers as we lay her to rest. And please know we love and appreciate you all,” they added.
When the Carnival ship arrived in Belize City around Aug. 11, it had 27 COVID-19-positive people — 26 of them crew members — aboard, the highest number of reported cases on an American ship since the cruise industry opened back up this summer.
The company noted that there were more than 4,000 people on the Vista, the first Carnival ship to set sail this year, and that 99.98 percent of the crew was vaccinated, along with the vast majority of the passengers.
Carnival said Tackett “almost certainly did not contract COVID on our ship,” and stressed that the crew was committed to protecting the health and safety of the passengers, ABC 13 reported.
The company said it has implemented additional health and safety measures.
Vaccinated passengers are now required to present both a proof of vaccination and a negative COVID test at check-in, the news outlet reported. Unvaccinated travelers must be tested twice before boarding and again at debarkation.
“We are very sorry to hear about the death of a guest who sailed on Carnival Vista. Regrettably, there is a fair amount of disinformation about the circumstances of this matter,” Carnival said in a statement.
“The guest almost certainly did not contract COVID on our ship, and she was assisted with expert medical care on board and was ultimately evacuated from Belize after we provided a resource to her family. We have continued to provide support to her family and are not going to add to their sadness by commenting further,” the statement added. (Fully vaccinated woman reportedly dies of COVID-19 after taking cruise to Belize.)
So much for the alleged “effectiveness” of the vaccines, which are being spread with such evangelical fervor that one can say without fear of contradiction that an entire secular religion, vaccineology, has emerged that requires everyone to submit to its tenets without dissent.
The utter insanity is such that ideological idiots at the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) are “worried” that Afghnais might not get “vaccinated” because they might fear for their physical safety more than they fear contracting the CCP/China/China/Chinese/Covid-19/Coronavirus. These officials are also “worried” that some of the doses sent to Afghansistan are nearing their expiration date! No, I am not making this up:
BRUSSELS, Aug 25 (Reuters) - In the first week following the Taliban conquest of Kabul, COVID-19 vaccinations in Afghanistan have dropped by 80%, the U.N. agency UNICEF said, warning that half of the few doses delivered to the country so far are close to expiry.
The Taliban seized control of the Afghan capital on Aug. 15, having already captured most of the country earlier in the month after the United States decided to withdraw military forces after 20 years of war.
Since the Taliban takeover "there's been an 80% drop in people reached with COVID-19 vaccines," a spokesperson for UNICEF told Reuters.
In the week starting on Aug. 15, 30,500 people had been vaccinated in 23 of the 34 provinces of the country, whereas the previous week 134,600 people were inoculated in 30 provinces, according to figures provided by UNICEF, which coordinates the rollout of COVID-19 shots distributed across the world by the World Health Organization (WHO) vaccine programme Covax.
"The drop is understandable, as in situations of chaos, conflict and emergency, people will prioritize their safety and security first," the UNICEF spokesperson said, noting the U.N. agency has been calling on all Afghan healthcare workers, including women, to return to work.
The spokesperson declined to comment about whether the drop in inoculations was also the result of Taliban's possible vaccine scepticism, but warned about risks caused by a protracted slowdown in the vaccination campaign.
Nearly 2 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson (JNJ.N) vaccine delivered to Afghanistan, which is about half of the total so far, expire in November, the UNICEF spokesperson said.
WHO data show that only 1.2 million doses had been administered as of Aug. 20 in Afghanistan, which has a population of 40 million.
Gavi, which co-leads Covax with the WHO, said the programme has so far delivered over 4 million doses to Afghanistan.
"Our priority today is to work with UNICEF and WHO country offices (..) to ensure our ability to continue the country's COVID-19 vaccination programme," a Gavi spokesperson told Reuters, declining to comment on whether vaccinations had been hampered by the Taliban. (U.N. sees massive drop in COVID vaccinations in Afghanistan after Taliban takeover.)
Never mind the explosive, situation on the ground in Afghanistan (see 12 US service members killed in Kabul airport explosion, officials say and Outrage over US ambassador's 'heartless' comments on Americans trapped in Afghanistan: 'Blaming the victims'), the pro-abortion, pro-sodomite, pro-contraception ideological idiots are worried about vaccination rates while the Taliban and ISIS are killing Americans and Afghanis alike. Then again, one of the cardinal commandments of the “woke” crowd is that “Thou canst not criticize Mohammedanism,” and the corollary commandment is, “Thou must always criticize Catholics as haters.”
Perhaps it is no accident that UNICEF is asking for a “mandate” from the United Nations to promote openly what it has promoted covertly for decades now: the chemical and surgical execution of the innocent preborn as well as the whole panoply of perverse evils associated with the agenda of those steeped in unrepentant sins of unnatural vice against the Sixth and Ninth Commandments:
NEW YORK, August 6 (C-Fam) The UN agency for children is asking for a mandate to promote abortion, contraception, and LGBT rights from UN member states.
The draft strategic plan of the UN agency for children, or UNICEF, includes the promotion of “sexual and reproductive health and rights,” a term widely recognized as including abortion and LGBT rights, as well as “comprehensive sexuality education.”
These controversial terms have been repeatedly rejected by UN member states and previous UNICEF strategic plans did not include them.
In addition to committing the agency to work on “sexual and reproductive health and rights,” the draft strategic plan lists “sexual and reproductive health” as a separate area of health from maternal health and HIV/AIDS. This signals that the agency specifically seeks a mandate for abortion and contraception.
The strategic plan also commits the agency to prioritize “comprehensive sexuality education,” a highly controversial form of sex education that teaches children to experiment with their sexuality, even teaching children as young as five to masturbate, and promotes social acceptance of homosexuality.
It was included in the draft strategic plan by UNICEF officials and staff even though the term has been rejected repeatedly by UN member states in the General Assembly and even at the World Health Assembly.
The strategic plan will be accompanied by a Gender Action Plan for the same period, which goes beyond proposing contraception and abortion for children. It expressly targets parental consent laws in countries around the world. It labels “restrictive age-of-consent policies that discourage adolescents from seeking sexual and reproductive health services” as the result of discriminatory “gender bias.” The Gender Action Plan also includes a focus on “sexual orientation and gender identity.”
It is not the first time UNICEF staff and officials have courted controversy by promoting abortion or LGBT issues. In 1996, the Holy See withdrew funding from the agency after the agency failed to reassure the Holy See that agency staff would not promote abortion. In recent years there has been a rapprochement between UNICEF and the Holy See even though doubts about the agency’s clash with Catholic teaching remain.
UNICEF is also embroiled in the middle of a scandal involving the promotion of pornography use for children. It published a report earlier this year inviting countries to consider ratings for pornography that would designate sexually explicit materials appropriate for children.
UNICEF is one of the first UN agencies, founded in 1946 to help address the dire needs of millions of orphans and refugees following the Second World War.
The strategic plan, which will guide the agency’s work for the next four years, will be debated next week by UNICEF’s executive board, which is made up of 36 countries selected from each regional group, and is scheduled to be adopted in September by the board. The agency’s budget is over $5 billion annually.
UNICEF’s strategic plan is just one of several strategic plans that UN agencies are finalizing this summer, including the strategic plans for the UN population fund and the UN agency for women include the controversial term “sexual and reproductive health and rights.”
Earlier this month, UNICEF head Henrietta Fore announced her resignation, prompting speculation that her replacement would be former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues Catherine Russell, a longtime proponent of “sexual and reproductive health” services for children.

We are surrounded by agents of Antichrist in the world and in the counterfeit church of conciliarism.
However, we must never fear the demagogic fearmongers of Modernity nor those of Modernism within the counterfeit church of conciliarism.
We have the Catholic Faith.
We have Our Lady’s Most Holy Rosary.
We must remember these words of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Himself:
Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves. But beware of men. For they will deliver you up in councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues. And you shall be brought before governors, and before kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles: But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought how or what to speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what to speak. For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you.
The brother also shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the son: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and shall put them to death. And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake: but he that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be saved. And when they shall persecute you in this city, flee into another. Amen I say to you, you shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the Son of man come. The disciple is not above the master, nor the servant above his lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the goodman of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household?
Therefore fear them not. For nothing is covered that shall not be revealed: nor hid, that shall not be known. That which I tell you in the dark, speak ye in the light: and that which you hear in the ear, preach ye upon the housetops. And fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear not therefore: better are you than many sparrows. Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven. But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven. Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword. For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
And a man's enemies shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it. He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. (Mt. 10: 16-40.)
The Cross is ever present in our lives. There is never any fleeing from the Cross. If we truly understand the Faith and reject all naturalistic influences, we will come to accept the fact that the Cross is waiting for us at every moment of our lives. No matter what decisions we might make as to which fork in the road to take at a given time, we can be sure of one thing: the Cross will be waiting for us all along either path. The Cross is our hope. The Cross is the means of our salvation. The Cross of the Divine Redeemer is the glory of our Catholic Faith. Catholics glory in that Cross. They do not shrink from it, and they recognize that every difficulty, every misunderstanding, every physical or emotional or spiritual pain, every humiliation, every calumny, and every rejection is meant to give us a share in the Cross of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as we give whatever merit we earn to Him through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary. And we must recognize the simple truth that there is more merit for us when the crosses that we are asked to bear are hidden from public view and others make judgments about us based on a complete ignorance of those hidden crosses that are meant to be revealed only on the Last Day at the General Judgment of the Living and the Dead.
VIII. Preparing for Future Illnesses Caused by the Vaccines
Seventh, the types of injuries being caused by the vaccines in close proximity to their administration is just a preview of the sort of illnesses they will cause long into the future, including those illness that will be, for all intents and purposes, untreatable in those who received the gene therapy “jabs” because their DNAs will have been altered in such a manner as to make medical treatment for long-term vaccination-caused illnesses very difficult to treat. And this is to say nothing about what will be the gymnastics of denial that the so-called “medical community” will attempt to perform to deny any linkage in the future between the vaccines developed under “Operation Warp Speed” and the illnesses and other adverse effects, including death, in the coming decades.
Consider several heartbreaking cases, including of a “true believer” in vaccinations and in the “truthfulness” of the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention:
Aiden Jo, 14, is spending his freshman year of high school sitting alone on the sidelines because he can’t engage in any physical activity, his mother said.
When most kids are in gym class, Aiden is resting in an effort to keep his heart rate lowered, after being diagnosed with heart inflammation doctors say he developed after receiving Pfizer’s COVID vaccine.
In an exclusive interview with The Defender, Emily Jo, Aiden’s mother, said before her son got the vaccine, she was led to believe his chance of suffering an adverse reaction was “one in a million.”
Aiden, from Georgia, received his first dose of Pfizer on May 12. He had no history of COVID or pre-existing conditions except for asthma. “We were one of the first ones, and I believe that may have been the day the CDC cleared it,” Jo said.
On June 10, several days after his second dose, Aiden woke his mother up at 4:30 a.m. because his chest hurt and he couldn’t breathe.
Jo said she was aware of the potential side effect of heart inflammation, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said it was very rare and mild.
“What they didn’t explain is that mild means hospital care and follow-up care indefinitely,” Jo said.
On June 10, several days after his second dose, Aiden woke his mother up at 4:30 a.m. because his chest hurt and he couldn’t breathe.
Jo said she was aware of the potential side effect of heart inflammation, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said it was very rare and mild.
“What they didn’t explain is that mild means hospital care and follow-up care indefinitely,” Jo said.
Jo took her son to an emergency room in Atlanta, where the CDC has its headquarters. The ER doctor first asked whether Aiden had his vaccine, then tested his troponin level to see if his heart muscle had been damaged. Doctors also ran an EKG.
After both tests came back as abnormal, Aiden was admitted to the acute cardiac unit.
The first night Aiden stayed in the hospital his troponin number quadrupled overnight. Aiden’s mother said the cardiologist reported it to the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS I.D. 1396660), and was in contact with the CDC multiple times during his four-day hospital stay.
“They determined that yes, he met the criteria of having post-vaccine myocarditis,” Jo said.
“The biggest problem is they [CDC] are not explaining what mild myocarditis means,” Jo said. “Aiden’s cardiologist told us no case of myocarditis is ‘mild.’ That’s like saying a heart attack is mild.”
Jo said her son gets very tired easily and his recovery will be a long process.
“He can’t do any physical activity, no recess, no PE, he has to have more time to go between classes until he has a cardiopulmonary stress test that shows his heart can handle the stress,” she said.
Jo, who said she’s been the target of animosity from anti-vaxxers for vaccinating her son, and now from pro-vaxxers for telling her son’s story of vaccine injury, said the guilt is eating her up.
“I was one of those jerks who was like, ‘Oh it’s your fault. You’re the reason everybody needs to get vaccinated,’ so this has flipped everything for me upside down,” Jo said.
Jo said all her kids are fully vaccinated and she was one of the most trusting advocates of the CDC and American Academy of Pediatrics (APA) — until her son experienced his vaccine injury.
They’ve lost me and they’re going to lose a lot of people,” she said. “When you lose trut in public health we have a big problem. They’ve lost one of their biggest advocates and I don’t think it can ever be earned back.”
Jo said if you were to ask her today if she would vaccinate her children, she would say “no,” because the vaccine is not effective and kids are at a lower risk.
She explained:
“I know the Delta variant is serious. I take this all seriously. I have never been someone to downplay the virus. We masked, we distanced. We did online learning. I just don’t see enough … and the way that they’re pushing — the APA — pushing this through. This is just disgusting to me.”
Jo said prior to her son having the reaction, she was not aware vaccine makers were exempt from liability. She thinks parents need to know there is little recourse should their child get injured by a vaccine.
She said:
“I think another thing parents need to understand is that myocarditis is not covered under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, and the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program only covers if you’re incapacitated, wheel-chair bound or dead. We have incurred thousands and thousands of dollars in medical bills. We have insurance but they don’t pay all. It does not account for tests down the road that we still have to get.”
Jo said she knows the financial part is not the main concern, but she’s a teacher and doesn’t have thousands of dollars sitting around.
“I don’t feel I should have to pay for doing what I was told to do by the government,” Jo said. “Hey we are all in this together and then you get a vaccine injury and you’re just completely ignored — and not just ignored but beat up from both sides.”
Jo doesn’t understand how the government can mandate something when there is no culpability — and she’s questioning why there is no culpability.
“Why are these boys just shoved into a corner as collateral damage as if it doesn’t matter?” she asked.
Jo added:
“I’ve known many, many children who’ve gotten COVID. This is anecdotal. I know there are serious cases but anecdotally, I have seen 15-20 kids who have had COVID. They had the sniffles and my kid is the one who ended up in the hospital because of the vaccine.”
Cases of heart inflammation in teens surpass 400
According to the latest data from VAERS, there have been 2,018 U.S. reports of myocarditis and pericarditis following COVID vaccines, with 1,275 cases attributed to Pfizer, 667 cases to Moderna and 71 cases to J&J’s COVID vaccine.
Among 12- to 17-year-olds, there have been 406 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis, with 402 cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine.
According to the VAERS website, underreporting is one of the main limitations of a passive surveillance system like VAERS. The website states: “The term underreporting refers to the fact that VAERS receives reports for only a small fraction of actual adverse events.”
On June 25, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) added a warning to patient and provider fact sheets for Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines suggesting an increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis — particularly following the second dose and with onset of symptoms within a few days after vaccination.
The FDA’s update followed a review of information and discussion by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), a committee within the CDC that provides advice and guidance on effective control of vaccine-preventable diseases, during a June 23 meeting where the committee acknowledged 1,200 cases of heart inflammation in 16- to 24-year-olds, and said mRNA COVID vaccines should carry a warning statement.
Dr. Elizabeth Mumper, a pediatrician who has seen many patients experience vaccine adverse events in her practice, listened to the entire June 23 ACIP meeting.
Mumper said:
“I was surprised that a working document was presented in which ACIP was leaning toward recommending a second COVID vaccine in patients who experienced heart inflammation after the first dose, as long as the patient had improved. I was also surprised that some ACIP committee members seemed to be making the assumption that the cases of myocarditis and pericarditis would not cause long-term harm. We simply do not have the evidence to make COVID vaccine decisions on that assumption.”
Mumper said she’s worried there will be many more cases of heart inflammation as the vaccine is rolled out to younger and younger children.
Health officials said the benefits of receiving a COVID vaccine still outweigh any risks. But physicians and other public commenters during the June 23 meeting accused the CDC of exaggerating the risk of COVID to young people, and minimizing the risk of the vaccines.
Pfizer and its vaccine partner BioNTech submitted an application in May to the FDA requesting full approval of its COVID vaccine.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and chief medical advisor to President Biden, said Sunday he is hopeful the FDA will give full approval to Pfizer’s vaccine by the end of August, and he predicted a wave of vaccine mandates would soon follow.

Also see Real-World Study Captures Risk of Myocarditis With Pfizer Vax.)
There are hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of these stories that are not being covered by the mainslime media, which relies upon Big Pharma for billions of dollars in advertising revenue.
Ah, but the mainslime media has provided extensive coverage to the United States Food and Drug Administration’s decision to grant “full approval” to the very vaccine that caused Aiden Jo to develop myocarditis, which, not so coincidentally, is not covered under the terms of the “National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which was passed by the Congress of the United States of America on October 18, 1986, and signed into law by President Ronald Wilson Reagan on November 14, 1986, and was upheld as “constitutional” by the Supreme Court of the United States of America in the case of Russell, Bruscewitz, et al. v. Wyeth, LLC, February 10. 2011. The so-called “originalist,” Associate Justice Antonin Scalia, wrote Court’s opinion, the salient conclusion of which follows:
These provisions for federal agency improvement of vaccine design, and for federally prescribed compensation, once again suggest that §300aa–22(b)(1)’s silence regarding design-defect liability was not inadvertent. It instead reflects a sensible choice to leave complex epidemiological judgments about vaccine design to the FDA and the National Vaccine Program rather than juries.63 (Russell, Bruscewitz, et al. v. Wyeth, LLC.)
Obviously, we know just how “honest” and “reliable” the “complex epidemiological judgments about vaccine design made by the “professionals” at the Food and Drug Administration have been, including the one giving “full approval” to the Pfizer/BioNTech “jab” that was announced on Monday, August 23, 2021, the Feast of Saint Philip Benizi:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Monday granted the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine full approval in a highly anticipated move that’s expected to boost vaccinations and spark more mandates nationwide.
The federal agency reached the milestone of issuing the first complete authorization for a COVID-19 vaccine after an approximately three-month review of Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech’s application to the FDA for full approval.
The vaccine will be marketed as Comirnaty, with the full authorization applying to vaccine recipients age 16 and older, the FDA announced in a release.
The FDA's emergency use authorization will remain in place for those between the ages of 12 and 15. The emergency use authorization also still applies for a third dose for immunocompromised people.
Acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock praised the authorization in a press briefing, saying it "holds the promise of altering the course of the pandemic in the United States."
"This is an unprecedented timeline given the volume of review and the meticulous manner in which it was done," she said. "But we want to underscore that our efforts to move as quickly as possible have in no way sacrifice scientific standards for the integrity of our process."
"While this and other vaccines have met the FDA’s rigorous, scientific standards for emergency use authorization, as the first FDA-approved COVID-19 vaccine, the public can be very confident that this vaccine meets the high standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality the FDA requires of an approved product,” she said in a separate statement.
Some have criticized the FDA for not approving the vaccine more quickly, but Peter Marks, director of the agency's vaccine center, said it took 40 percent of the "normal clock time" for a consideration of "this magnitude."
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said in a statement that the FDA approval "affirms the efficacy and safety profile of our vaccine at a time when it is urgently needed."
“I am hopeful this approval will help increase confidence in our vaccine, as vaccination remains the best tool we have to help protect lives and achieve herd immunity," he said.
With slightly more than half of the total U.S. population fully vaccinated, experts and Biden administration officials are hopeful the agency’s full approval will serve as a catalyst for vaccinations in the country.
The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, like the other two available in the U.S., had been given emergency use authorization, allowing it to be administered only during the public health emergency. But under the full authorization, the FDA is giving permission for patients to get the shots once the public health emergency is declared over.
More than 204 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine have been administered across the country under the emergency use authorization, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.
An increase in vaccine mandates is likely to follow the FDA’s full licensure of the two-dose regimen, as some businesses, organizations and universities were expected to wait until the full endorsement to enforce such requirements.
The approval is also likely to motivate some Americans to get their COVID-19 shots, based on a Kaiser Family Foundation poll that found 30 percent of unvaccinated people said they would be more willing to get vaccinated following the FDA’s full authorization.
U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday that he thinks the number of unvaccinated people that could be persuaded by the FDA's full authorization is “small” but “still significant.”
The FDA's decision to back full authorization for the vaccine was based on updated data from the clinical trial and additional research.
Out of about 22,000 vaccine recipients and about 22,000 placebo recipients aged 16 and older in the trial, Pfizer's vaccine was found to be 91 percent effective in preventing COVID-19.
About 12,000 recipients were followed for at least six months after the second dose.
The agency also noted it "conducted a rigorous evaluation" of the safety data relating to rare cases of heart inflammation, called myocarditis and pericarditis, after the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
The FDA said the data "demonstrate increased risks, particularly within the seven days following the second dose." Current short-term data indicates most heart inflammation patients see a resolution of symptoms, although "some" needed intensive care.
The Comirnaty vaccine "includes a warning about these risks," the agency said.
The FDA first granted emergency use authorization to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in December, followed closely after by the Moderna vaccine. The agency granted emergency use authorization for 12- to 15-year-olds to get the Pfizer vaccine in May and for immunocompromised people to get a third dose earlier this month. (FDA grants full approval to Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine.)
Aiden Jo incurred a lifelong, not short-term, injury caused by the “safe” Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
To argue, as the Food and Drug Administration did on Monday, August 23, 2021, that there have been “rare cases” of “heart inflammation, called myocarditis and pericarditis, after the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine” is beneath contempt, especially when one reviews the vaccine injuries that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevent admit have taken place and were summarized above as follows:
- 21% of deaths were related to cardiac disorders.
- 54% of those who died were male, 43% were female and the remaining death reports did not include gender of the deceased.
- The average age of death was 73.1.
- As of Aug 13., 2,947 pregnant women reported adverse events related to COVID vaccines, including 960 reports of miscarriage or premature birth.
- Of the 2,607 cases of Bell’s Palsy reported, 50% were attributed to Pfizer vaccinations, 43% to Moderna and 7% to J&J.
- 522 reports of Guillain-Barré Syndrome, with 40% of cases attributed to Pfizer, 34% to Moderna and 25% to J&J.
- 126,905 reports of anaphylaxis with 44% of cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine, 47% to Moderna and 8% to J&J.
- 8,396 reports of blood clotting disorders. Of those, 3,586 reports were attributed to Pfizer, 3,510 reports to Moderna and 1,695 reports to J&J.
- 3,033 cases of myocarditis and pericarditis with 1,335 cases attributed to Pfizer, 703 cases to Moderna and 78 cases to J&J’s COVID vaccine.
Dr. Joseph Mercola published an article in July of this year discussing the mortality rate of the CCP/China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19/Coronavirus while documenting how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are “cooking the books” on the numbers of those killed or injured by the vaccines:
In the U.S., it’s a similar story. December 30, 2020, I reported that as of December 22, 2020, the provisional total death count from all causes, according to the CDC, was 2,835,533. For comparison, the total number of deaths from all causes in 2018 was 2,839,20514 while in 2019 it was 2,854,838.15
By mid-2021, the total number of deaths recorded in 2020 was 3,389,991.16 While the number of deaths in 2020 was 535,133 more than the year before, they likely cannot all be attributed to COVID. For example, drug overdose deaths rose dramatically during 2020, and if those were erroneously counted as COVID like the motorcycle accidents and gunshot wounds, then they would inflate the COVID numbers dramatically.
While the rates have not yet been tabulated, the estimated percent of increase in drug deaths in the first eight months of 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 ranged from less than 10% to greater than 60% depending on the state.17 Additionally, according to Yeadon and an article in The Guardian,18 some of the increased number of deaths in the U.K. in people aged 45 to 65 were mainly from heart disease, stroke and cancer.
These types of deaths suggest there was the higher number could be due to inaccessibility to routine medical care when people were either afraid of or discouraged from going to the hospital.
Conversely, COVID Vaccine Adverse Events Likely Underreported
As I wrote in “COVID Vaccine Deaths and Injuries Are Secretly Buried,” the reports of death and serious injuries from the COVID-19 shot have been mounting with breakneck rapidity. Those familiar with the historical vaccine injury rate agree we’ve never seen anything like it, anywhere in the world.
In the linked article, I reported that as of June 11, 2021, the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), had posted 358,379 adverse events. That number jumped to 438,440 events through July 7, 2021.19 This includes 9,048 deaths, 985 miscarriages, 3,324 heart attacks and 7,463 people disabled.
In the European Union’s database of adverse drug reactions from COVID shots, called EudraVigilance, there were 1,509,266 reported injuries, including 15,472 deaths as of June 19, 2021.20 EudraVigilance only accepts reports from EU members, so it covers only 27 of the 50 European countries.
Reports have poured in from around the world of people who died shortly after receiving the COVID-19 shot. In January 2021, Norway had already recorded 29 senior citizen deaths in the wake of their vaccine program21 and in Australia, two people died from blood clots after taking AstraZeneca’s COVID shot while only one has died from the disease this year.22
As I discussed in “CDC Caught Cooking the Books on COVID Vaccines,” the rising number of vaccine adverse events aren’t the only things being manipulated. To boost the appearance that the vaccine is effective, the CDC is using several strategies.
First, the cycle threshold has been significantly lowered from 4023 to 28,24,25 which will hide any breakthrough cases in those who have had the COVID shot. Next, the CDC no longer records a mild or asymptomatic infection in any person who has been vaccinated as a COVID case.
Now, the only cases that count in people who have had the shot are those that result in hospitalization or death.26 However, if you’re not vaccinated and have a mild case or test positive at a higher cycle threshold, you still count as a COVID case.27 As an example of how changing the analysis affects the statistics, as of April 30, 2021, the CDC had received a total of 10,262 reports of vaccine breakthrough infections.28
At the time they called this a “substantial undercount” since they were using a passive surveillance system that relies on voluntary reporting. However, 67 days later on July 6, 2021, the number of breakthrough cases was slashed to 5,186.29 This was done under the new guidelines that take only hospitalizations and deaths into account for vaccine breakthrough. (Inflated Reporting Of COVID Deaths Is A Real Conspiracy.)
Contrary to what the Food and Druge Administration (FDA) said in its press release of Monday, August 23, 2021, deaths and injuries caused by the vaccines are not “rare," and the numbers of the so-called "breakthrough" cases are indeed being vastly underreported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as officials there do not take into consideration the cases of those who test positive for the CCP/China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19/Coronarvirus even though they are fully vaccinated, which is the exact reverse of what the CCD still continues to do in counting all "positive" test results as though they are actually confirmed cases of the CCP/China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19 Coronavirus. One would suppose that cases such as New York Mets' pitcher Noah Syndergard, who is on what is called the days the "injured list" as I suppose the term "disabled list" is "offensive" to someone, who, though fully vaccinated is said to have tested positive for the CCP/China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19/Coronavirus (see Mets star Noah Syndergaard tests positive for COVID-19). His case only one of thousands.
The real purpose of the "full approval" granted by the FDA is to tighten the clamp on those who have thus far been able to resist employer mandates to get the vaccines as one of the legal recourses for refusing to do so up Monday, August 23, 2021, was that the FDA's initial approval for the Pfizer/BioNTech, Johnson and Johnson and Moderna vaccines had been done on an "emergency use" basis. The "healthcare" fascists of FDA amd the Centers for Disease Prevention want to make it impossible for the unvaccinated to keep their jobs, and as Dr. Mercola has noted, even to access their bank accounts no less to enter into a bank's branch to transact business such as cashing a check. Totalitarianism is here. Totalitarianism is now. Yet it is that most people continue on with their partying and are more willing to get however "booster shots" it takes for them to keep doing so.
IX. For What?
Human beings have been killed by the vaccines.
Human beings have had to be hospitalized because of the vaccines.
Human beings have incurred debilitating illnesses that will last for the rest of their lives.
For what?
For what?
To line the pockets of Big Pharma with billions upon billions of dollars in cash and to feed the Napoleonic complexes of government apparatchiks and the feed the insatiable desire of statist politicians to impose a totalitarian regime upon the vaccinated and unvaccinated alike.
For what?
For what?
To instill fear about a virus that, though serious in many cases, especially in the elderly and those with compromise immune systems, only kills less than one percent of those without any preexisting co-morbidities.
For what?
To make possible the deaths of thousands of innocent human beings by means of what Anthony Fauci said seventeen months ago called “comfort care” (the “palliative care”/hospice Hemlock “cocktail”) in the name of “treating” the CCP/China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19/Coronavirus.
For what?
To use the alleged crisis as a means to create more opportunities for voter fraud by means of mail-in and bundled ballots and thus “elect” a willing stooge who will always yield to the inner statist impulses of his mad “scientists.”
For what?
So that the elites can dine at their pleasure without “mitigation” measures (masks, social distancing, etc.) or jet off in their own private planes to their luxurious mansions in Italy (see NJ Gov. Phil Murphy vacations in Italy despite Delta variant surge while the unwashed masses are held to different standards.
For what?
To develop, promote, and then mandate the “cure-all,” vaccines,” for a virus that is not a cause for alarm and then to create more hysteria when the spike proteins contained in the vaccines create “variants” that cause more panic and thus more mandates for the vaccines.
For what?
To ignore the simple fact that many of the new legitimate cases of the CCP/China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19/Coronavirus are being brought over the border by those entering the country illegally and then transported to cities, towns, and villages across the country without any requirement of being quarantined so that they can “assimilate” into those communities, register to vote even though they are not citizens and thus change the outcome of elections in places that normally tilt to the election of members of the false opposite of the naturalist “right,” to say nothing of spreading the virus into the so-called “red states” to undermine the credibility of governors such as Florida’s Ronald DeSantis (Ron DeSantis on COVID mandates, spikes at the border) and Texas’ Gregory Wayne Abbott, who did test positive for the virus recently.
For what?
To subject us to the “vaccine mandates,” if not by government edicts quite yet then by employer mandates issued in the face of lobbying from whomever is running it within the statist preserve of ideologues living in their own collective alternative universe known as the Biden White House (see COVID-19 Vaccines: Biden Urges Private Sector Mandates).
For what?
To prepare the way for the rounding up of the “unvaccinated” into concentration camps for indefinite periods of time:
A conspiracy theory?
Well, not according to the website of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which devised “contingency plans” for a “humanitarian approach” to deal with the unvaccinated and to treat their “mental illnesses” for refusing to act like good lemmings and do what our caesars and caesarettes say are in the best interests of "public health” but is actually a clever way to incarcerate political dissenters, who must, of course, be “mentally ill” for refusing to accept the “self-evident truths” as declared by the “healthcare professionals” and who dare to question the “infallibility of government officials, who must be believe without question even when the plain facts contradict their false assertions:
This document presents considerations from the perspective of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) for implementing the shielding approach in humanitarian settings as outlined in guidance documents focused on camps, displaced populations and low-resource settings.1,2 This approach has never been documented and has raised questions and concerns among humanitarian partners who support response activities in these settings. The purpose of this document is to highlight potential implementation challenges of the shielding approach from CDC’s perspective and guide thinking around implementation in the absence of empirical data. Considerations are based on current evidence known about the transmission and severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and may need to be revised as more information becomes available. Please check the CDC website periodically for updates.
What is the Shielding Approach1?
The shielding approach aims to reduce the number of severe COVID-19 cases by limiting contact between individuals at higher risk of developing severe disease (“high-risk”) and the general population (“low-risk”). High-risk individuals would be temporarily relocated to safe or “green zones” established at the household, neighborhood, camp/sector or community level depending on the context and setting.1,2 They would have minimal contact with family members and other low-risk residents.
Current evidence indicates that older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions are at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.3 In most humanitarian settings, older population groups make up a small percentage of the total population.4,5 For this reason, the shielding approach suggests physically separating high-risk individuals from the general population to prioritize the use of the limited available resources and avoid implementing long-term containment measures among the general population.
In theory, shielding may serve its objective to protect high-risk populations from disease and death. However, implementation of the approach necessitates strict adherence1,6,7, to protocol. Inadvertent introduction of the virus into a green zone may result in rapid transmission among the most vulnerable populations the approach is trying to protect.
A summary of the shielding approach described by Favas is shown in Table 1. See Guidance for the prevention of COVID-19 infections among high-risk individuals in low-resource, displaced and camp and camp-like settings 1,2 for full details.
Table 1: Summary of the Shielding Approach1
Level
Movement/ Interactions
Household (HH) Level:
A specific room/area designated for high-risk individuals who are physically isolated from other HH members.
Low-risk HH members should not enter the green zone. If entry is necessary, it should be done only by healthy individuals after washing hands and using face coverings. Interactions should be at a safe distance (approx. 2 meters). Minimum movement of high-risk individuals outside the green zone. Low-risk HH members continue to follow social distancing and hygiene practices outside the house.
Neighborhood Level:
A designated shelter/group of shelters (max 5-10 households), within a small camp or area where high-risk members are grouped together. Neighbors “swap” households to accommodate high-risk individuals.
Same as above
Camp/Sector Level:
A group of shelters such as schools, community buildings within a camp/sector (max 50 high-risk individuals per single green zone) where high-risk individuals are physically isolated together.
One entry point is used for exchange of food, supplies, etc. A meeting area is used for residents and visitors to interact while practicing physical distancing (2 meters). No movement into or outside the green zone.
Operational Considerations
The shielding approach requires several prerequisites for effective implementation. Several are addressed, including access to healthcare and provision of food. However, there are several prerequisites which require additional considerations. Table 2 presents the prerequisites or suggestions as stated in the shielding guidance document (column 1) and CDC presents additional questions and considerations alongside these prerequisites (column 2).
Table 2: Suggested Prerequisites per the shielding documents and CDC’s Operational Considerations for Implementation
Suggested Prerequisites
*As stated in the shielding document*
Considerations as suggested by CDC
- Each green zone has a dedicated latrine/bathing facility for high-risk individuals
- The shielding approach advises against any new facility construction to establish green zones; however, few settings will have existing shelters or communal facilities with designated latrines/bathing facilities to accommodate high-risk individuals. In these settings, most latrines used by HHs are located outside the home and often shared by multiple HHs.
- If dedicated facilities are available, ensure safety measures such as proper lighting, handwashing/hygiene infrastructure, maintenance and disinfection of latrines.
- Ensure facilities can accommodate high-risk individuals with disabilities, children and separate genders at the neighborhood/camp-level.
- To minimize external contact, each green zone should include able-bodied high-risk individuals capable of caring for residents who have disabilities or are less mobile. Otherwise, designate low-risk individuals for these tasks, preferably who have recovered from confirmed COVID-19 and are assumed to be immune.
- This may be difficult to sustain, especially if the caregivers are also high risk. As caregivers may often will be family members, ensure that this strategy is socially or culturally acceptable.
- Currently, we do not know if prior infection confers immunity.
- The green zone and living areas for high-risk residents should be aligned with minimum humanitarian (SPHERE) standards.6
- The shielding approach requires strict adherence to infection, prevention and control (IPC) measures. They require, uninterrupted availability of soap, water, hygiene/cleaning supplies, masks or cloth face coverings, etc. for all individuals in green zones. Thus, it is necessary to ensure minimum public health standards6 are maintained and possibly supplemented to decrease the risk of other outbreaks outside of COVID-19. Attaining and maintaining minimum SPHERE6 standards is difficult in these settings for the general population.8,9,10 Users should consider that provision of services and supplies to high risk individuals could be at the expense of low-risk residents, putting them at increased risk for other outbreaks.
- Monitor and evaluate the implementation of the shielding approach.
- Monitoring protocols will need to be developed for each type of green zone.
- Dedicated staff need to be identified to monitor each green zone. Monitoring includes both adherence to protocols and potential adverse effects or outcomes due to isolation and stigma. It may be necessary to assign someone within the green zone, if feasible, to minimize movement in/out of green zones.
- Men and women, and individuals with tuberculosis (TB), severe immunodeficiencies, or dementia should be isolated separately
- Multiple green zones would be needed to achieve this level of separation, each requiring additional inputs/resources. Further considerations include challenges of accommodating different ethnicities, socio-cultural groups, or religions within one setting.
- Community acceptance and involvement in the design and implementation
- Even with community involvement, there may be a risk of stigmatization.11,12 Isolation/separation from family members, loss of freedom and personal interactions may require additional psychosocial support structures/systems. See section on additional considerations below.
- High-risk minors should be accompanied into isolation by a single caregiver who will also be considered a green zone resident in terms of movements and contacts with those outside the green zone.
- Protection measures are critical to implementation. Ensure there is appropriate, adequate, and acceptable care of other minors or individuals with disabilities or mental health conditions who remain in the HH if separated from their primary caregiver.
- Green zone shelters should always be kept clean. Residents should be provided with the necessary cleaning products and materials to clean their living spaces.
- High-risk individuals will be responsible for cleaning and maintaining their own living space and facilities. This may not be feasible for persons with disabilities or decreased mobility.11 Maintaining hygiene conditions in communal facilities is difficult during non-outbreak settings.7,8,9 consequently it may be necessary to provide additional human resource support.
- Green zones should be more spacious in terms of shelter area per capita than the surrounding camp/sector, even at the cost of greater crowding of low-risk people.
- Ensure that targeting high-risk individuals does not negate mitigation measures among low-risk individuals (physical distancing in markets or water points, where feasible, etc.). Differences in space based on risk status may increase the potential risk of exposure among the rest of the low-risk residents and may be unacceptable or impracticable, considering space limitations and overcrowding in many settings.
Additional Considerations
The shielding approach outlines the general “logistics” of implementation –who, what, where, how. However, there may be additional logistical challenges to implementing these strategies as a result of unavailable commodities, transport restrictions, limited staff capacity and availability to meet the increased needs. The approach does not address the potential emotional, social/cultural, psychological impact for separated individuals nor for the households with separated members. Additional considerations to address these challenges are presented below.
Population characteristics and demographics
Consideration: The number of green zones required may be greater than anticipated, as they are based on the total number of high-risk individuals, disease categories, and the socio-demographics of the area and not just the proportion of elderly population.
Explanation: Older adults represent a small percentage of the population in many camps in humanitarian settings (approximately 3-5%4,5), however in some humanitarian settings more than one quarter of the population may fall under high risk categories13,14,15 based on underlying medical conditions which may increase a person’s risk for severe COVID-19 illness which include chronic kidney disease, obesity, serious heart conditions, sickle cell disease, and type 2 diabetes. Additionally, many camps and settlements host multiple nationalities which may require additional separation, for example, Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya accommodates refugees from 19 countries.16
Timeline considerations
Consideration: Plan for an extended duration of implementation time, at least 6 months.
Explanation: The shielding approach proposes that green zones be maintained until one of the following circumstances arises: (i) sufficient hospitalization capacity is established; (ii) effective vaccine or therapeutic options become widely available; or (iii) the COVID-19 epidemic affecting the population subsides.
Given the limited resources and healthcare available to populations in humanitarian settings prior to the pandemic, it is unlikely sufficient hospitalization capacity (beds, personal protective equipment, ventilators, and staff) will be achievable during widespread transmission. The national capacity in many of the countries where these settings are located (e.g., Chad, Myanmar, and Syria) is limited. Resources may become quickly overwhelmed during the peak of transmission and may not be accessible to the emergency affected populations.
Vaccine trials are underway, but with no definite timeline. Reaching the suppression phase where the epidemic subsides can take several months and cases may resurge in a second or even third wave. Herd immunity (the depletion of susceptible people) for COVID-19 has not been demonstrated to date. It is also unclear if an infected person develops immunity and the duration of potential immunity is unknown. Thus, contingency plans to account for a possibly extended operational timeline are critical.
Other logistical considerations
Consideration: Plan to identify additional resources and outline supply chain mechanisms to support green zones.
Explanation: The implementation and operation of green zones requires strong coordination among several sectors which may require substantial additional resources: supplies and staff to maintain these spaces – shelters, IPC, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), non-food items (NFIs) (beds, linens, dishes/utensils, water containers), psychosocial support, monitors/supervisors, caretakers/attendants, risk communication and community engagement, security, etc. Considering global reductions in commodity shortages,17 movement restrictions, border closures, and decreased trucking and flights, it is important to outline what additional resources will be needed and how they will be procured.
Protection
Consideration: Ensure safe and protective environments for all individuals, including minors and individuals who require additional care whether they are in the green zone or remain in a household after the primary caregiver or income provider has moved to the green zone.
Explanation: Separating families and disrupting and deconstructing multigenerational households may have long-term negative consequences. Shielding strategies need to consider sociocultural gender norms in order to adequately assess and address risks to individuals, particularly women and girls. 18,19,20 Restrictive gender norms may be exacerbated by isolation strategies such as shielding. At the household level, isolating individuals and limiting their interaction, compounded with social and economic disruption has raised concerns of potential increased risk of partner violence. Households participating in house swaps or sector-wide cohorting are at particular risk for gender-based violence, harassment, abuse, and exploitation as remaining household members may not be decision-makers or responsible for households needs.18,19,20
Social/Cultural/Religious Practices
Consideration: Plan for potential disruption of social networks.
Explanation: Community celebrations (religious holidays), bereavement (funerals) and other rites of passage are cornerstones of many societies. Proactive planning ahead of time, including strong community engagement and risk communication is needed to better understand the issues and concerns of restricting individuals from participating in communal practices because they are being shielded. Failure to do so could lead to both interpersonal and communal violence.21,22
Mental Health
Consideration: Ensure mental health and psychosocial support*,23 structures are in place to address increased stress and anxiety.
Explanation: Additional stress and worry are common during any epidemic and may be more pronounced with COVID-19 due to the novelty of the disease and increased fear of infection, increased childcare responsibilities due to school closures, and loss of livelihoods. Thus, in addition to the risk of stigmatization and feeling of isolation, this shielding approach may have an important psychological impact and may lead to significant emotional distress, exacerbate existing mental illness or contribute to anxiety, depression, helplessness, grief, substance abuse, or thoughts of suicide among those who are separated or have been left behind. Shielded individuals with concurrent severe mental health conditions should not be left alone. There must be a caregiver allocated to them to prevent further protection risks such as neglect and abuse.
Summary
The shielding approach is an ambitious undertaking, which may prove effective in preventing COVID-19 infection among high-risk populations if well managed. While the premise is based on mitigation strategies used in the United Kingdom,24,25 there is no empirical evidence whether this approach will increase, decrease or have no effect on morbidity and mortality during the COVID-19 epidemic in various humanitarian settings. This document highlights a) risks and challenges of implementing this approach, b) need for additional resources in areas with limited or reduced capacity, c) indefinite timeline, and d) possible short-term and long-term adverse consequences.
Public health not only focuses on the eradication of disease but addresses the entire spectrum of health and wellbeing. Populations displaced, due to natural disasters or war and, conflict are already fragile and have experienced increased mental, physical and/or emotional trauma. While the shielding approach is not meant to be coercive, it may appear forced or be misunderstood in humanitarian settings. As with many community interventions meant to decrease COVID-19 morbidity and mortality, compliance and behavior change are the primary rate-limiting steps and may be driven by social and emotional factors. These changes are difficult in developed, stable settings; thus, they may be particularly challenging in humanitarian settings which bring their own set of multi-faceted challenges that need to be taken into account.
Household-level shielding seems to be the most feasible and dignified as it allows for the least disruption to family structure and lifestyle, critical components to maintaining compliance. However, it is most susceptible to the introduction of a virus due to necessary movement or interaction outside the green zone, less oversight, and often large household sizes. It may be less feasible in settings where family shelters are small and do not have multiple compartments. In humanitarian settings, small village, sector/block, or camp-level shielding may allow for greater adherence to proposed protocol, but at the expense of longer-term social impacts triggered by separation from friends and family, feelings of isolation, and stigmatization. Most importantly, accidental introduction of the virus into a green zone may result in rapid transmission and increased morbidity and mortality as observed in assisted care facilities in the US.26
The shielding approach is intended to alleviate stress on the healthcare system and circumvent the negative economic consequences of long-term containment measures and lockdowns by protecting the most vulnerable.1,24,25 Implementation of this approach will involve careful planning, additional resources, strict adherence and strong multi-sector coordination, requiring agencies to consider the potential repercussion among populations that have collectively experienced physical and psychological trauma which makes them more vulnerable to adverse psychosocial consequences. In addition, thoughtful consideration of the potential benefit versus the social and financial cost of implementation will be needed in humanitarian settings.

Australia has developed a similar set of camps for all people entering the country, yes, even for Australians who are returning home from foreign visits. One such "camp," which goes by the name of the "Melbourne Center for National Resilience" will be operational by the beginning of January 2022. Moreover, the Australian military is going door-to-door to make sure that Australians observe the national lockdown that was put into place recently (New Zealand resorted to a national lockdown after one suspected case of the CCP/China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19/Corona:virus was discovered!):
Travelers visiting or returning to Australia will have to quarantine for 14 days at their own expense. Quarantine camps are going up around Australia and to little surprise. Australia has seen massive riots, protesting draconian lockdown measures. The Australian military has been brought in and is going door-to-door to make sure people are obeying lockdown orders.
Hullo Mudda Hello Fadda
Australia has begun construction on their second COVID-19 quarantine camp, deceptively called “Melbourne’s Centre for National Resilience.” It’s down the road from Melbourne Airport, known locally as Tullamarine Airport, which serves the city of Melbourne, and is Australia’s second-busiest airport.
Fear-O-Rama! New Zealand recently locked down after one suspected case of COVID.
The 1,000-bed quarantine facility will be finished by the end of the year but will be operational as soon as it can accommodate 500 beds. It will have the ability to add room for an additional 3,000 beds if needed.
The holding pen is being modeled on the Howard Springs Centre for National Resilience. Australian authorities have found that quarantine camps are more successful than hotels, many of which were found to have substandard ventilation. Australian authorities claim high viral loads have caused “COVID leakage,” which resulted in the government declaring a stage-four lockdown of 6 million people in the Australian state of Victoria. Only three of 19 hotels considered as possible quarantine quarters were equipped with the necessary ventilation.
Is it cheaper, faster, and easier to build numerous camps, rather than modify hotels’ ventilation systems?
The Unarmed People Have Spoken
Local residents called for and were granted a community briefing session, which was held last week. Discussion topics included how such a facility will affect real-estate prices and the fear of COVID escaping into the community. The camp is roughly half a mile from the closest neighborhood.
The locals were assured the camp would follow the highest infection-control standards, set by the Howard Springs facility, and that the staff will be fully vaccinated. The workers will also be unable to work second jobs.
When asked why locals weren’t informed there was a camp being built in their community, the Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews (the Aussie equivalent of a state governor) responded by saying, “We want the community to know what’s going on there, we want the community to be part of that program and that process, but we’ve got to get this built.
“There’s much greater risk to people across Victoria, Mickleham included, by having thousands of people in hotels that are not built to quarantine them,” he added. “That’s the site that’s been chosen and everyone, including locals, will be better off because of that.”
In other words, he dodged the question.
What I would have asked: “Will non-traveling residents ever be forced into the quarantine facility?”
Brutal lockdowns continue, despite the protests. Has anyone told the Aussies that lockdowns are not merely ineffective but are dangerous? (Australia Building Quarantine Camps as Military Goes Door-to-Door to Enforce Lockdown Orders. Also see Israel Warns Covid Green Pass Will Expire if Residents Don’t Get Third Jab.)
There is no refuge anywhere in the world.
Now, before anyone rushes to the conclusion that such a “humanitarian approach” in the United States of America is imminent, please let me state clearly and for the record that I, for one, know of no current plans to implement this Communist-style roundup of refuseniks. Thus, there is no need for panic or alarm now, and there would be no need for panic or alarm even if this “approach” did come to pass Our Lady would send us all the graces won for us by her Divine Son during His Passion and Death on the wood of the Holy Cross to we would need to prosper spiritually, perhaps even to the point of providing lukewarm or worldly Catholics the opportunities to be tested as gold in the fire so that they could save their souls which might otherwise be destined for eternal loss or for many long years of confinement in the fires of Purgatory.
However, the fact that there were people in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who devised these detailed plans that have not received one word of criticism from any Republican member of the United States Congress and, I should note, were never criticized by President Donald John Trump, who was president when these plans were devised and published on the CDC website thirteen months ago. Although the former president may not have known about these plans, someone in his White House must have known about them, and the fact that they did nothing to order these plans scrubbed from the CDC website should teach the “true believers” of things Trump out there in cyberspace that one must put one’s trust in princes: on the children of men in who there is no salvation. [By the way, I am unbent in my criticism of the January 2, 2021, “stop the steal” rally in Washington, District of Columbia. As I noted at the time and reiterate now, the rally and the riotous chaos that ensued thereafter worked against all efforts by Republican members of the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate to make their very logical, rational, and factually supported cases against the election results in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the States of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Michigan, and Wisconsin. What happened on January 6, 2021, was entirely unnecessary and counterproductive, but it was no “insurrection” as the mainslime media have claimed repeatedly. It is a telling commentary when even agents of the highly politicized Federal Bureau of Investigation have come to the conclusion that there was no conspiracy to “overthrow” the government of the United States of America. See FBI confirms there was no insurrection on Jan. 6.]
The medical/technolologial/legal/political/cultural/corporate dictatorship is such these days that a divorced mother was told by an Illinois judge that she could not see her son unless she gets vaccinated even though she shares custody rights with her true husband:
An Illinois mother says a Cook County judge decided to strip her parental rights over her refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a local report.
Rebecca Firlit told FOX 32 Chicago that Cook County Judge James Shapiro revoked all of her parenting time with her son until she gets vaccinated.
"I miss my son more than anything. It's been very difficult. I haven't seen him since August 10th," Firlit told the outlet.
A spokesperson for Shaprio told FOX 32 that the judge could not comment on the ruling due to the ongoing nature of the case.
Firlit, who has reportedly been divorced for seven years and shares custody of her son with her ex-husband, said she does not want to get the vaccine due to previous adverse reactions to vaccines, according to FOX 32.
"He was placing his views on me. And taking my son away from me," Firlit said of Shapiro.
Her attorney, Annette Fernholz, believes the judge overstepped his bounds.
"The trial court clearly exceeded its authority in sua sponte suspending the mother's parenting time when the issue before the court was child support," Fernholz told Fox News in a statement. "The father did not bring this issue before the court. The mother did not know her parenting time was being discussed when she went to zoom court on August [10]. The judge deprived her of notice and a full hearing on the issue. The issue is now before the Illinois appellate court."
She added that "the father did not even bring this issue before the court."
Jeffrey Leving, the attorney representing Firlit's ex-husband in the custody case, told the outlet that while Shapiro's order came as a surprise, they support the decision.
"There are children who have died because of COVID. I think every child should be safe. And I agree that the mother should be vaccinated," Leving said.
While children have experienced lower COVID-19 infection rates and lower risk of severe virus symptoms than adults, nationwide hospitals are reporting increasing pediatric COVID-19 cases as the delta variant spreads compared to rates seen during previous surges. Health officials have urged those who are eligible to get vaccinated to protect others who cannot.
Businesses across the country, as well as local governments and schools, have moved to require COVID-19 vaccinations among all employees who do not have a medical exemption or require mask-wearing at all times for individuals who do not get the vaccine in an effort to reduce infection rates. Leving told FOX 32 that he believes Shapiro's ruling could play out in other custody cases. (Illinois mom says judge stripped custody of son until she gets COVID-19 vaccine: report.)
As bad and horrific as this is, noting that the epidemic of divorce is a chastisement in and of itself, the day will come 'ere long when the fascists of our "enlightened," "woke," and "humanitarian" minders in the civil state when be hauling off children below the age of eighteen even--and perhaps most especially in--perfectly stable families so as to punish their parents for having "reactionary" "views" that are said to "threaten" "public health and safety."
The case of the divorced mother being ordered to get the vaccine for the CCD/China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19/Coronavirus is not anomalous as little judicial tyrants around the United States of America are doing their best impression of English judges during the English Protestant Reovlution by "weaponizing" the recently mass produced and now virtually mandatory vaccines in their sentencings of convicted criminals, plea-bargaining agreements, and parole board recommendations:
As cases of coronavirus infections rise in Ohio, some judges have attached unusual conditions for those released on probation: Get a Covid-19 vaccine or face being sent to prison.
On Aug. 4, Judge Christopher A. Wagner of the Court of Common Pleas in Hamilton County told Brandon Rutherford, who was convicted on drug offenses, that as part of his release on “community control,” or probation, he must receive the vaccination within 60 days.
“I’m just a judge, not a doctor, but I think the vaccine’s a lot safer than fentanyl, which is what you had in your pocket,” the judge told Mr. Rutherford, 21, according to a transcript provided by the judge’s office on Monday.
“I’m going to order you, within the next two months, to get a vaccine and show that to the probation office,” the judge said. “You violate, you could go to prison.”
On June 22, another Court of Common Pleas judge, Richard A. Frye in Franklin County, gave Sylvaun Latham, who had pleaded guilty to drugs and firearms offenses, up to 30 days to receive the vaccination, according to court records. If Mr. Latham violated that condition and others, he could go to prison for 36 months. Mr. Latham agreed to be vaccinated, the records show.
The sentences were a unique breakthrough in the public health debate taking place in the United States about how civil liberties intersect with mask and vaccination mandates.
The judges’ decisions go to the heart of how personal freedoms are being examined through the lens of public health in a pandemic. David J. Carey, the deputy legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio, said he saw no “clear cut” violation of civil rights.
“It is a potentially murky area,” he said. “There is certainly a legitimate concern around ordering someone to do something that pertains to their bodily autonomy. They need to have a compelling reason to have to do so.”
“The question here is whether there is such a compelling interest, and whether it pertains to the purposes of probation,” Mr. Carey added. “Judges do have a lot of leeway in imposing conditions on behavior while on probation. But that leeway is not unlimited. They still need to establish it has a clear connection to a person’s individual case.”
In Ohio, as in the rest of the country, private businesses can impose their own requirements on employees and patrons. Federal government employees are required to be vaccinated or face regular testing, but state and local government institutions set their own rules. In Ohio, more than 800 school districts and other local entities function independently, Dan Tierney, a spokesman for Gov. Mike DeWine, said on Monday.
Mr. DeWine said Ohio was a state that exemplified the dual risk of infection. “Those who are vaccinated are safe, those who are not vaccinated are not safe,” he said.
Asked about his decision, Judge Frye said in an email on Monday that he had issued vaccine orders three times so far, and none of the defendants raised medical or religious objections.
“Ohio law allows judges to impose reasonable conditions of probation, intended to rehabilitate the defendant and protect the community,” Judge Frye said. He said that, based on medical evidence, the vaccination would protect others and keep those on probation safer as they search for or keep jobs.
Sharona Hoffman, a professor and co-director of the Law-Medicine Center at Case Western Reserve University’s School of Law, said it was unusual to pair sentencing with the vaccine.
“Judges get creative in order to keep people out of jail,” she said. “They impose all sorts of sentences and, again, this is to the benefit of the person. And if you are going to be out in the community, you can’t run around infecting people with Covid.”
In some states, such as Georgia, judges have offered reduced sentences if defendants get vaccinated, WSB-TV in Atlanta reports. Early this year, prisoners in Massachusetts were offered the possibility of reduced prison sentences for receiving the vaccine, but the decision was later rescinded.
Michael Benza, a senior instructor at Case Western’s School of Law, said he believed other judges in other states were setting similar conditions for probation, but he was not certain it was a broad practice across the country.
By adding vaccination to conditions that included employment, the judges were staying within the probation order, he said, but added: “I think the problem for this type of order is if the defendant would challenge it, I think there is a significant chance that order would be found to be improper. It is a compulsion for a medical procedure.”
In court, Mr. Rutherford told the judge, “no, not really,” when asked whether he was scared about inoculation. “I just never went to get it,” Mr. Rutherford said, according to the transcript.
Carl Lewis, the lawyer for Mr. Rutherford, could not be reached on Monday. But Mr. Rutherford, speaking to WCPO 9 News recently, said he did not want to be vaccinated.
“I don’t plan on getting it. I don’t want it,” he said. “So, for him to tell me that I have to get it in order for me to not violate my probation is crazy because I’m just trying to do what I can to get off this as quickly as possible, like finding a job and everything else, but that little thing can set me back.”
Judge Wagner, in response to questions on Monday, said in an email that “judges make decisions regularly regarding a defendant’s physical and mental health, such as ordering drug, alcohol, and mental health treatment.”
He added that Mr. Rutherford was in possession of fentanyl, “which is deadlier than the vaccine and COVID 19.” (Get a Covid-19 Vaccine or Face Prison, Judges Order in Probation Cases.)
Oh, quite by the way, Governor Michael DeWine, the vaccinated are far from “safe” and that unvaccinated are “unsafe” only if one does not receive sound medical treatment and/or if they have underlying conditions (co-morbidities). The CCP/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19/Coronavirus can make people very sick. However, its actual, not inflated, mortality rate is very low, and the plain fact of the matter at the present time, as noted earlier in this commentary, is that the “vaccinated” are not safe from being reinfected and are proving themselves to be titanic shedders of the virus from the supposedly “safe” vaccines that they received.
As to the point of the article above itself, though, suffice it to say that we have awakened to a totalitarianism that was a long time coming in the United States of America and elsewhere in the so-called “civilized world.” Men have placed their “faith” in vaccines as a panacea to a virus that was weaponized a Communist Chinese operated laboratory and, as well, have placed their “faith” in the foolish insanity that it is possible to eradicate diseases that are but the consequence of Original Sin and, as noted earlier, of our own Actual Sins.
The tyranny that is upon us is not confined to the judiciary. Local governments are getting into the act to declare “misinformation” (i.e., the truth) about the CCP/China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19/Coronavirus to be a “public health” problem:
SAN DIEGO (CNS) — A divided San Diego County Board of Supervisors has voted to adopt what is believed to be a first-in-the-nation policy of declaring COVID-19 misinformation a public health crisis and adopt a series of recommendations to actively combat it.
“Combating health misinformation needs to start on the ground, in counties and cities across our nation,” said Board Chairman Nathan Fletcher, who authored the policy.
“San Diego County took the first step by becoming the first local jurisdiction in the country to align its policies with the U.S. surgeon general’s recommendations to fight health misinformation. Health misinformation is a national crisis and it requires all of us to fight against it together.”
Tuesday night’s vote was 3-2, with Supervisors Jim Desmond and Joel Anderson voting no. The final result came after hours of debate featuring testimony from hundreds of residents, many who opposed the measure. Fletcher characterized them as “mostly right-wing, anti-vaxxers.”
Addressing opponents during the meeting, Fletcher said: “Nothing in this measure will take away anyone’s right to free speech. But this will empower medical experts to lend their knowledge to provide people with info about what they may be hearing. Our efforts today are to help us in the cause to get beyond COVID-19. I can promise you that no one ever ran for public office saying, `I want to close businesses, I want to wear masks.’ We want to get out of this pandemic without any closures or further mandates.” (San Diego COVID misinformation: Public health crisis declared at Board of Supervisors meeting.)
In other words, citizens can have their “free speech” but they have to “inform” themselves about the “infallible” pronouncements of the public health fascists, who know as much about “science” as Professor Ludwig von Drake. For an analysis of the “follow the science” mantra, please see Dr. Scott Atlas: Dr. Scott Atlas: Science Killed Itself Over COVID-19.
Kyrie eleison!
X. Conclusion: To See All Things Through the Supernatural Eyes of the Holy Faith
As I have noted so many other times in the past seventeen months, we must accept the fact that the United States of America—and every other place in the world at this time—is being chastised for the sins of its people.
Your sins.
Most especially, at least as I know the facts to be, my own sins.
The sins of everyone alive today.
The sins of those who know what is true but choose to sin anyway.
The sins of those who do not know that they do but who still suffering from the effects of their sinful thoughts, words, and deeds as sin is a spiritual disease that harms and wreaks havoc within the souls of men, which is why sin is far more dangerous than any physical disease that can harm the body. One can deny that one is suffering from the effects of his sins just as surely as one can deny that he is suffering because of his own obesity or alcoholism, for example. However, the objective truth of the matter is that spiritual disease takes its toll on the souls of men, and as Saint Paul the Apostle noted in his Epistle to the Hebrews:
[22] And almost all things, according to the law, are cleansed with blood: and without shedding of blood there is no remission. (Hebrews 9: 22.)
Physical disease, pain and suffering, the infirmities of the aging process and death itself are the consequences of Original Sin, and the extent to which there is an increase of physical diseases, pain and suffering in the world is very dependent upon the extent to which men persist in their sins unrepentantly and, worse yet, to enshrine their commission as matters of “human rights” under the cover of the civil law and celebrate them with barbarian abandon in what passes for “popular culture.”
Agents of disorder in men’s souls and in society and the world can never “keep us safe” as it is impossible to make men immune from the ravaging effects of unchecked sin in their own lives, the lives of others and the lives of communities, states and nations that celebrate sin and have, in effect, overthrow the binding precepts of the Ten Commandments just as surely as Martin Luther himself.
Saint Alphonsus de Liguori had this to say about the ravaging effects of sin:
The devil deceives sinners, and makes them imagine that, by indulging their sensual appetites, they shall lead a life of happiness, and shall enjoy peace. But there is no peace for those who offend God. “There is no peace to the wicked, says the Lord." (Is. 48:22). God declares that all his enemies have led a life of misery, and that they have not even known the way of peace. “Destruction and unhappiness in their ways, and the way of peace they have not known.” (Ps. 13:3).
2. Brute animals that have been created for this world, enjoy peace in sensual delights. Give to a dog a bone, and he is perfectly content; give to an ox a bundle of hay, and he desires nothing more. But man, who has been created for God, to love God, and to be united to him, can be made happy only by God, and not by the world, through it should enrich him with all its goods. What are worldly goods? They may be all reduced to pleasures of sense, to riches, and to honors. “All that is in the world,” says St. John, “is the concupiscence of the flesh,” or sensual delights, and “the concupiscence of the eyes,” or riches, and “the pride of life” that is, earthly honors. (1 John 2:16). St. Bernard says, that a man may be puffed up with earthly goods, but can never be made content or happy by them. “Inflari potest, satiari, non potest.” And how can earth and wind and dung satisfy the heart of man? In his comment on these words of St. Peter “Behold, we have left all things” the same saint says, that he saw in the world different classes of fools. All had a great desire of happiness. Some, such as the avaricious, were content with riches; others, Ambitious of honors and of praise, were satisfied with wind; others, seated round a furnace, swallowed the sparks that were thrown from it these were the passionate and vindictive; others, in fine, drank fetid water from a stagnant pool and these were the voluptuous and unchaste. O fools! adds the saint, do you not perceive that all these things, from which you seek content, do not satisfy, but, on the contrary, increase the cravings of your heart? “Hæc potius famem provocant, quam extinguunt.” Of this we have a striking example in Alexander the Great, who, after having conquered half the world, burst into tears, because he was not master of the whole earth.
3. Many expect to find peace in accumulating riches; but how can these satisfy their desires? “Major pecunia,” says St. Augustine, “avaritiæ fauces non claudit, sed extendit.” A large quantity of money does not close, but rather extends, the jaws of avarice; that is, the enjoyment of riches excites, rather than satiates, the desire of wealth. “You were debased even to hell; you have been wearied in the multitude of your ways; you said not, I will rest." (Is. 57:9-10). Poor worldlings! They labor and toil to acquire an increase of wealth and property, but never enjoy repose, the more they accumulate riches, the greater their disquietude and vexation. “The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger; but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good." (Ps. 33:11). The rich of this world are, of all men, the most miserable; because, the more they possess, the more they desire to possess. They never succeed in attaining all the objects of their wishes, and therefore they are far poorer than men who have but a competency and seek God alone. These are truly rich, because they are content with their condition, and find in God every good. “They that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.” To the saints, because they possess God, nothing is wanting; to the worldly rich, who are deprived of God, all things are wanting, because they want peace. The appellation of fool was, therefore, justly given to the rich man in the gospel (Luke 12:19)., who, because his land brought forth plenty of fruits, said to his soul, “Soul, you have much goods laid up for many years, take rest, eat, drink, make good cheer.” (Luke 12:19). But this man was called a fool. “You fool, this night do they require your soul of you; and whose shall those things be which you have provided?” (v. 20). And why was he called a fool. Because he imagined that by these goods by eating and drinking he should be content, and should enjoy peace. “Rest,” he said, “eat, drink.” “Num quid, “ says St. Basil of Seleucia, “animam porcinam habes?" Have you the soul of a brute, that you expects to make it happy by eating and drinking?
4. But, perhaps sinners who seek after and attain worldly honors are content? All the honors of this earth are but smoke and wind (“Ephraim feeds on the wind” Hosea 12), and how can these content the heart of a Christian? “The pride of them,” says David, “ascends continually.” (Ps. 73:23). The ambitious are not satisfied by the attainment of certain honors, their ambition and pride continually increase; and thus their disquietude, their envy, and their fears are multiplied.
5. They who live in the habit of sins of impurity, feed, as the Prophet Jeremiah says, on dung. “Qui voluptuose vescebantur, amplexati sunt stercora.” (Lam. 4:5). How can dung content or give peace to the soul? Ah! what peace, what peace can sinners at a distance from God enjoy? They may possess the riches, honors, and delights of this world; but they never shall have peace. No; the word of God cannot fail. He has declared that there is no peace for his enemies. “There is no peace to the wicked, says the Lord." (Isaias, 48:22). Poor sinners! they, as St. Chrysostom says, always carry about with them their own executioner that is, a guilty conscience, which continually torments them. “Peccator conscientiam quasi carnificem circumgestat.” (Serm. 10. do Laz). St. Isidore asserts that there is no pain more excruciating than that of a guilty conscience. Hence, he adds, that he who leads a good life is never sad. “Nulla poena gravior poena conscientiæ, vis nunquam esse tristis? bene vive.” (S. Isid., lib. 2, Solit).
6. In describing the deplorable state of sinners, the Holy Spirit compares them to a sea continually tossed by the tempest. “The wicked are like the raging sea, which cannot rest.” (Is. 57:20). Waves come and go, but they are all waves of bitterness and rancor; for every cross and contradiction disturbs and agitates the wicked. If a person at a ball or musical exhibition, were obliged to remain suspended by a cord with his head downwards, could he feel happy at the entertainment? Such is the state of a Christian in enmity with God, his soul is as it were turned upside down; instead of being united with God and detached from creatures, it is united with creatures and separated from God. But creatures, says St. Vincent Ferrer, are without, and do not enter to content the heart, which God alone can make happy. “Non intrant ibi ubi est sitis.” The sinner is like a man parched with thirst, and standing in the middle of a fountain, because the waters which surround him do not enter to satisfy his thirst, he remains in the midst of them more thirsty than before.
7. Speaking of the unhappy life which he led when he was in a state of sin, David said, “My tears have been my bread, day and night, While it is said to me daily, Where is your God?” (Ps. 41:4). To relieve himself, he went to his villas, to his gardens, to musical entertainments, and to various other royal amusements, but they all said to him, “David, if you expects comfort from us, you art deceived. “Where is your God? Go and seek your God, whom you have lost; for he alone can restore your peace.” Hence, David confessed that, in the midst of his princely wealth, he enjoyed no repose, and that he wept night and day. Let us now listen to his son Solomon, who acknowledged that he indulged his senses in whatsoever they desired. “Whatsoever my eyes desired, I refused them not.” (Sir. 2:10). However, after all his sensual enjoyments, he exclaimed, “Vanity of vanities ,... behold all is vanity and affliction of spirit.” (Eccles. 1:2 and 14). Mark! he declares that all the pleasures of this earth are not only vanity of vanities, but also affliction of spirit. And this sinners well know from experience; for sin brings with it the fear of divine vengeance. The man who is encompassed by powerful enemies never sleeps in peace; and can the sinner, who has God for an enemy, enjoy tranquility? “Fear to them that work evil.” (Prov. 10:29). The Christian who commits a mortal sin feels himself oppressed with fear every leaf that moves excites terror. “The sound of dread is always in his ears.” (Job 15:21). He appears to be always flying away, although no one pursues him. “The wicked man flees when no man pursues.” (Prov. 28:1). He shall be persecuted, not by men, but by his own sin. It was thus with Cain, who, after having killed his brother Abel, was seized with fear, and said, “Every one, therefore, that finds me shall kill me.” (Gen. 4:14). The Lord assured him that no one should injure him, “The Lord said to him, “No; it shall not be so” (v. 15). However, notwithstanding this assurance, Cain, pursued by his own sins, was, as the Scripture attests, always flying from one place to another “He dwelt a fugitive on the earth.” (v. 16).
8. Moreover, sin brings with it remorse of conscience that cruel worm that gnaws incessantly, and never dies. “Their worm shall not die.” (Isa 66:24). If the sinner goes to a festival, to a comedy, to a banquet, his conscience continually reproaches him, saying, Unhappy man! you have lost God; if you were now to die, what should become of you? The torture of remorse of conscience, even in the present life, is so great that, to free themselves from it, some persons have put an end to their lives Judas, through despair, hanged himself. A certain man who had killed an infant, was so much tormented with remorse that he could not rest. To rid himself of it he entered into a monastery; but finding no peace even there, he went before a judge, acknowledged his crime, and got himself condemned to death.
9. God complains of the injustice of sinners in leaving him, who is the fountain of all consolation, to plunge themselves into fetid and broken cisterns, which can give no peace. “For my people have done two evils; they have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and have dug to themselves cisterns broken cisterns that can hold no water.” (Jer. 2:13). You have, the Lord says to sinners, refused to serve me, your God, in peace. Unhappy creatures! you shall serve your enemies in hunger, and thirst, and nakedness, and in want of every kind. “Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and gladness, .... you shall serve your enemy in hunger, and thirst, and nakedness, and in want of all things.” (Deut. 28:47-48). This is what sinners experience every day. What do not the vindictive endure after they have satisfied their revenge by the murder of an enemy? They fly continually from the relations of their murdered foe, and from the minister of justice. They live as fugitives, poor, afflicted, and abandoned by all. What do not the voluptuous and unchaste suffer in order to gratify their wicked desires? What do not the avaricious suffer in order to acquire the possessions of others? Ah! if they suffered for God what they suffer for sin, they would lay up great treasures for eternity, and would lead a life of peace and happiness, but, by living in sin, they lead a life of misery here, to lead a still more miserable life for eternity hereafter. Hence, they weep continually in hell, saying, “We wearied ourselves in the way of iniquity and destruction, and have walked through hard ways.” (Wis. 5:7). We have, they exclaim, walked through hard ways, through paths covered with thorns. We wearied ourselves in the way of iniquity, we have labored hard, we have sweated blood, we have led a life full of misery, of gall, and of poison. And why? To bring ourselves to a still more wretched life in this pit of fire. (Saint Alphonsus de Liguori, Sermons for All Sundays in the Year, pp. 56-59.)
Anyone who thinks that those who are agents of sin and the destruction that follows in this wretched wake has done—or can ever do—anything to keep us physically “safe” is delusional as even genuine pandemics, which the CCP/China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19/Coronavirus, is not in actual truth, are themselves just chastisements from God to draw the just to perfection and to convert the unjust to repentance and salvation.
Most people, including most, although not all, Catholics who are attached to the structures of what they think is the Catholic Church, but which is actually her counterfeit ape, do not understand that any of this is so. Indeed, most people around the world today want the “party” to resume, and to this end they are willing to relinquish whatever claims to “freedom” that have ever existed in the anti-Incarnational civil state of Modernity to accept diabolically inspired vaccines and vaccine mandates as the “price” for having “fun, fun, fun.”
To amplify this point, there is so little true Faith in the hearts of most men today that suicide rates skyrocketed during the government mandated lockdowns last year that left all manner of lonely people lost in the abyss of a nihilistic culture wrought by the ideological programming of America’s concentration camps (i.e., public schools), lives of impurity and indecency, the audio pollution from hell known as “rock music,” violence-ridden motion pictures and television programs, pornography, blasphemy and the emptiness of one secular lie after another were so despondent to lose their access to their pleasures (and perhaps the means with which to pay for them) that they chose to succumb to the adversary’s suggestions of self-annihilation. This, too, though, has been part of the plandemicists’ plans to de-populate the planet (contraception, abortion, sterilization, pro-active euthanasia, “brain death”/human organ vivisection, the starvation and dehydration of innocent human beings, “passive” euthanasia-“palliative care/hospice/, vaccines, etc.) to increase the power of “mental health professionals” over the lives of everyone.
For the rest, however, a return to “normalcy” is what they wanted, and they have shown an eager readiness to do be good comrades in order to go to restaurants, “concerts,” movie theatres, ball parks, or to have access to other “privileges” that will be denied to the “unvaccinated” now and well into the future.
As I pointed out in part two of “Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus” sixteen months ago, we have seen the end of “normalcy” that most of us have known throughout our lives. That is, our civil minders are not going to give up their newfound means of control and surveillance, and they are willing to with respect to the tendency of human beings to believe whatever their minders tell them to do so long as they can get back to the “party”:
Millions upon millions of people, even including most fully traditional Catholics who are not “una cum” Jorge Mario Bergoglio, sadly, have fallen for the medical industry’s manufactured, money-making lies of “brain death,” “vital organ donation,” the starvation and dehydration of innocent human beings and “palliative care while most non-Catholics and Modernist Catholics have also fallen for the lies of contraception and the chemical and surgical execution of innocent preborn babies. “Medical professionals” who have been playing God and who are really no different than the late Doctor Death himself, Jack Kevorkian, are thus given an uncritical and most undeserved “credibility” that is used to marginalize and silence those who attempt to point out their lies and their diabolical agenda of population elimination by means of planned pandemics launched by biological warfare.
Indeed, it is no exaggeration to state that what we are witnessing at present as nameless, faceless bureaucrats and supposed “healthcare” officials tells us about the China Virus is a totalitarian takeover of one country after another as citizens sheepishly fall for the propaganda and knuckle under to what appears to be a threat to their bodily survival, which is in jeopardy at this time solely because this virus was manufactured in “Biosafety Lab 4” (BSL-4) to kill people. It just happened to leak out by accident from BSL-4 before it was ready to be launched. This whole business is a chastisement of epic proportions. To quote the late President Ronald Wilson Reagan, who was so frequently a very useful idiot of the global deathcare industry, “We ain’t see nothin’ yet.” In other words, this chastisement, which I believe God is visiting upon us because of our own sins, worldliness, indifference, lukewarmness, cowardice and refusal to accept objective truths in both the natural and supernatural orders of things, is only beginning. That is, life as we have known it up until now will never return to “normal.” This is the “new normal,” and I do not even have time to discuss, at least not until well after Easter, all two trillion plus dollars in “funny money” that will increase the national debt tremendously and enslave future generations for as long as God in His infinite mercy permits the United States of America to exist.
This is a crisis that has been manufactured for purposes of giving elected governmental officials and unelected, unaccountable bureaucratic apparatchiks control over the entirety of our lives, including whether we can even pray before the Most Blessed Sacrament, no less have access to true offerings of Holy Mass in those relatively few places where they can be found around the globe today during this time of apostasy and betrayal. People are so afraid of physical suffering and death that they are surrendering voluntarily what the Roman emperors and their minions and the Protestant, French and Communist revolutionaries have had to take by force, up to and including the shedding of blood: the true freedom that belongs to all men to worship the true God at the ineffable Sacrifice of the Cross that is Holy Mass.
How can I support such statements?
As a trained academic researcher, I try to be very careful about what I state, and the delay experienced in writing this commentary has permitted me the opportunity to provide you with a wealth of documentation to support the simple fact that a biological warfare of epic proportions has begun that is being used by social engineers and merchants of death to accustom us even more than in the past to rationing healthcare, such as it is any longer. This biological warfare is also be used to make us docilely subservient to our civil minders, who are not only uninterested in pursuing the common temporal good in light of man’s Last End—the possession of the Beatific Vision of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost for all eternity—but are literally hellbent in the pursuit of diabolical schemes that make us all their slaves, slaves who will be compelled one day to be “microchipped” for “our own good” just as we are supposed to believe their lies at present are for “our own good.” We must be aware of these lies as we seek to keep always under the protection of Our Lady, especially by praying her Most Holy Rosary and by wearing her Brown Scapular of Mount Carmel (and fulfilling the obligations attached thereto) and her Miraculous Medal of Grace.
This will be a detailed commentary.
However, I beg the readers’ indulgence as we are in a fight now for our spiritual and temporal lives that very few who have nostalgia for the supposed Catholic “golden era” of the 1950s (a decade that was actually quite a revolutionary precursor to the 1960s) could have imagined possible. This is not the stuff of science fiction, a genre that I have always despised. This is the stuff of what happens in the latter times when God must punish men for their wanton sins against everything contained in the Sacred Deposit of Faith and have come to reject that there are any objective truths that exist in the very nature of things and thus do not depend upon human acceptance for their binding force or validity to which they must give their unyielding assent.
The party is over.
Lent has just begun.
No, not our current liturgical season of penance.
The Lent to which I refer is a preparation, whether remote or proximate, for the coming of the Antichrist, to whom all but a few of the elect will submit as the “answer” to the chaos caused by sin and the manufactured crises men steeped in it use as the pretext to impose a hard totalitarianism that is premised upon silencing dissenters and killing off those who are not physically strong enough to fight off their enhanced biological weapons. (“Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus, part two.)
Well, that was written in April of 2020, and I see no reason to revise anything of what I wrote at that time.
Look, everything we are facing right now is a chastisement coming directly from the hand of God, Who has always used nogoodniks and even the forces of nature, which are, after all, under His control, to bring his children to heed the Commandments for which the likes of Martin Luther and Jorge Mario Bergoglio have had nothing but contempt, if not actual hatred.
The virus itself, no matter its relatively low mortality rates, is a chastisement.
The statists’ and plademicists’ reactions, many of which were “game out” at Event 201 at the Hotel Saint Pierre in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, New York, on October 18, 2019, are chastisements.
The lockdowns were chastisements.
Masks and “social distancing” are chastisements.
The vaccines themselves are chastisements.
Vaccine “passports” are chastisements.
As I will never tire of reminding the relatively few people (not a complaint, just a statement of fact as I am entirely indifferent to the numbers of those who read these articles or to the lack of any links to them from other websites as whoever accesses this website does so within the Providence of God, which is why I have not nor ever will advertise or promote this site in any way), Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres explained the connection between the sins of men and natural disasters and tragedies:
While the founding mothers admired Mother Mariana's perfect observance of the rule and practice of virtue, there were other sisters who were stirred by jealousy. Mother Marina suffered insults and persecutions form those sisters without ever trying to justify herself or protest. Only at the foot of the Tabernacle did she confide her secret sorrows to her Beloved. One day in 1582, as she was praying before the altar, she saw the Tabernacle open and Christ Himself emerged, suffering as He had at Golgotha. The Blessed Virgin, at His feet, was shedding tears of pearls. Mother Mariana asked her, "My Lady, am I do blame for this sadness?"
"No, she replied, "it is not you, but the criminal world." Then as Our Lord began His Agony, she heard the voice of the Eternal Father saying, "This punishment will be for the 20th century." She saw three swords hanging over the head of Christ. On each was written, "I shall punish heresy, blasphemy and impurity." With this, she was given to understand all that would take place in the present era.
The Holy Virgin continued: "My daughter, will you sacrifice yourself for the people of this time?" Mother Mariana replied, "I am willing." And immediately the swords moved away from the agonizing Christ and buried themselves in the hear of Mother Mariana, who fell dead through the violence and pain. (Marian Therese Horvat, Ph.D., Our Lady of Good Success: Prophecies for Our Times, Tradition in Action, Inc., second edition, 2000, p. 27.)
Following Mother Mariana's "mysterious death and resurrection," Our Lady spoke to her again:
"Thus do I make it known to you that from the end of the 19th century and especially in the 20th century, in what is today the Colony and then will be the Republic of Ecuador, the passions will erupt and there will be a total corruption of customs, for Satan will reign almost completely by means of Masonic sects. They will focus particularly on the children in order to achieve this general corruption. Woe to the children of these times! It will be difficult to receive the Sacrament of Baptism, and also that of Confirmation. Making use of persons in positions of authority, the devil will assiduously try to destroy the Sacrament of Confession ...
"The same thing will happen with Holy Communion. Alas! How deeply I grieve upon manifesting to you the many and horrible sacrileges--both public and also secret--that will occur from such profanations of the Holy Eucharist! Often during this epoch, the enemies of Jesus Christ, instigated by the demon, will steal consecrated hosts from the churches so that they might profane the Eucharistic Species. My Most Holy Will will see Himself cast upon the ground and trampled upon by irreverent feet" . . . .
"Know, moreover, that Divine Justice releases terrible chastisements on entire nations, not only for the sins of the people, but especially for those of priests and religious persons. For the latter are called by the perfection of their state, to be the salt of the earth, the masters of truth and deflectors of divine wrath. Straying from their divine mission, they degrade themselves in such a way that, before the eyes of God, they quicken the rigor of the punishments. . . . (Our Lady of Good Success: Prophecies for Our Times, pp. 44-45; 63)
We should not be surprised, therefore, by the outbreaks of various natural disasters as they are instruments of God's justice. They are also, however, instruments of His ineffable mercy, providing survivors (and those in other parts of the world who become aware of various disasters) an opportunity to amend their lives and return to Him through His Catholic Church before they die sudden and sacramentally unprovided-for deaths. We must remember that there is nothing we can suffer in this passing, mortal vale of tears that is the equal of what one of our least Venial Sins caused Our Lord to suffer during His Passion and Death, remembering also how our sins caused Seven Swords of Sorrow to be thrust through the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Dr. Horvat put it this way in Our Lady of Good Success: Prophecies for Our Times:
It is almost impossible for us to understand the next phase of the life of the novice Mariana de Jesus Torres. Hidden in the Heart of her Spouse, she was inflamed with a desire for a life of immolation and sacrifice. Our Lord Himself told her the practices she should carry out during the free hours of the community schedule and the penances she should perform each week. Her severe disciplines, sacrifices, fasting and prayer, all described in chapters of the manuscript, appear daunting to the man of our century, who finds suffering something to avoid, or, at best, to endure as austerely as possible.
Suffering is highly ennobling. On this road of suffering in union with Christ, man finds the fullest meaning of his life, and he discovers that frequently it is in the great sufferings of life, accepted with a supernatural disposition, that he can find a joy which the greatest pleasures do not give. Further, he discovers in suffering an interior state that makes him capable of soaring to heights impossible for one who does not suffer. Only when man embraces great sufferings can his horizons expand to grand metaphysical and religious heights and his spirit advance to a superior state. At the end of Mother Mariana's life when her sanctity was acknowledged in the community and convent, she would look back with nostalgia and sigh for the days of persecution and suffering. (Marian Therese Horvat, Ph.D., Our Lady of Good Success: Prophecies for Our Times, Tradition in Action, Inc., second edition, 2000, p. 26.)
Yes, God punishes men for the sins, both in this life and, in the case of those who die in a state of Mortal sin, for all eternity in hell. This is simply His Divine Justice, which is not in the least in conflict with his ineffable mercy for erring sinners who seek to reform their lives by confessing their sins, both by kind and number as far as they are able to remember, to a true priest.
God will not be mocked. Sins must be punished. God chooses a variety of ways to punish us errant, recidivist, ungrateful sinners. The elements of the earth are themselves disturbed by human sins as they are part of the Order of Creation (Nature) whose perfect balance was rent asunder as a result of Original Sin.
I would entreat you, however, to consider how Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Himself told Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres that the sins of men in Ecuador, a country favored with the visits of Our Lady of Good Success and ruled for twelve years (1859 to 1865 and 1869 to the time of assassination in 1875) by that great exemplar of the Social Reign of Christ the King, Gabriel Garcia Moreno, would diminish the luster of the sunsets in that country on the equator:
She saw that when this would happen, the beautiful dawn that each morning would break forth with refulgence over this land—so enchantingly spectacular that some persons would rise at daybreak just to see the day break—would lose some of its brilliance. Thus does earth reflect Heaven, and the earth's beauty and vitality diminish with sin and infidelity to grace. This favor of beautiful dawns should cease, Mother Mariana was given to understand, because the Republic [of Ecuador, which was then only a Spanish colony] would become corrupt and ungrateful for the benefits it received from God. (Marian Therese Horvat, Ph.D., Stories and Miracles of Our Lady of Good Success, Tradition in Action, Inc., 2002, p. 68.)
Men must quit their sins and repent of them in the Sacred Tribunal of Penance. They must treat each other as they would treat Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Who was made Flesh in Our Lady's Virginal and Immaculate Womb, where He spent nine months growing to the point of His Nativity in poverty and anonymity in Bethlehem on Christmas Day.
No one can say that he loves Our Lord and yet supports His dismemberment mystically in the persons of innocent preborn children. And it is impossible to provide for any element of the common temporal good on an enduring basis as long as the innocent preborn are attacked with legal impunity, as long as the Sovereignty of God over the sanctity and fecundity of marriage is denied by means of contraception, as long as perversity is promoted under the slogans of "diversity" and "human rights," as long as men live as though there is no true Church and that they do not have to face Christ the King as their Judge at the moment of their Particular Judgments.
Men cannot sin wantonly without realizing terrible chastisements from God, something that Saint Alphonsus de Liguori made very clear in Preparation for Death:
The Lord does not wish us to be lost; and therefore, by the threat of chastisement, he unceasingly exhorts us to a change of life. Except you will be converted, He will brandish His sword. Behold, he says in another place, how many, because they would not cease to offend me, have met with a sudden death, when they were least expecting it, and were living in peace, secure of a life of many years. For whey they shall say: Peace and security: then shall sudden destruction come upon them. Again he says: Unless you shall do penance, you shall likewise perish. Why so many threats of chastisements before the execution of vengeance? It is because he wishes that we amend our lives, and thus avoid an unhappy death. "He," says Saint Augustine, "who tells you to beware, does not wish to take away your life." It is necessary, then, to prepare our accounts before the day of account arrives. Dearly beloved Christians, were you to die, and were your lot for eternity to be decided before night would your accounts be ready? Oh! how much would you give to obtain from God another year or month, or even another day, to prepare for judgment? Why then do yo not now, that God gives you this time, settle the accounts of your conscience? Perhaps is cannot happen that this shall be the last day for you? Delay not to be converted to the Lord, and defer it not from day to day; for His wrath shall come on a sudden, and in the time of vengeance He will destroy thee. My brother, to save your soul you must give up your sin. "If then you must renounce it at some time, why do you not abandon it at this moment?" says Saint Augustine. Perhaps you are waiting till death arrives? But for obstinate sinners, the hour of death is the time, not of pardon, but of vengeance. In the time of vengeance He will destroy thee. (Saint Alphonsus de Liguori, Preparation for Death.)
It was on September 19, 1846, that Our Lady explained Our Lady of La Salette told Melanie Calvat and Maximin Giraud about the terrible effects of sin in the world:
The Church will be in eclipse, the world will be in dismay. But now Enoch and Eli will come, filled with the Spirit of God. They will preach with the might of God, and men of good will will believe in God, and many souls will be comforted. They will make great steps forward through the power of the Holy Spirit and will condemn the devilish lapses of the Antichrist. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth! There will be bloody wars and famines, plagues and infectious diseases. It will rain with a fearful hail of animals. There will be thunderstorms which will shake cities, earthquakes which will swallow up countries. Voices will be heard in the air. Men will beat their heads against walls, call for their death, and on another side death will be their torment. Blood will flow on all sides. Who will be the victor if God does not shorten the length of the test? At the blood, the tears and prayers of the righteous, God will relent. Enoch and Eli will be put to death. Pagan Rome will disappear. The fire of Heaven will fall and consume three cities. All the universe will be struck with terror and many will let themselves be lead astray because they have not worshipped the true Christ who lives among them. It is time; the sun is darkening; only faith will survive.
Now is the time; the abyss is opening. Here is the King of Kings of darkness, here is the Beast with his subjects, calling himself the Savior of the world. He will rise proudly into the air to go to Heaven. He will be smothered by the breath of the Archangel Saint Michael. He will fall, and the earth, which will have been in a continuous series of evolutions for three days, will open up its fiery bowels; and he will have plunged for all eternity with all his followers into the everlasting chasms of hell. And then water and fire will purge the earth and consume all the works of men's pride and all will be renewed. God will be served and glorified." (Message of Our Lady of La Salette.)
How can there not be terrible chastisements visited upon us because of our sins and those of our nation, awash as it is in the blood of the innocent preborn and that of those killed by “palliative care”/hospice, “brain death”/vital organ vivisection and transplantation, the starvation and dehydration of innocent human beings, infanticide, the pro-active use of euthanasia as an ordinary part of “medical care.:
How can there not be "woe to the earth, and to the sea" when men sin so wantonly, when multinational corporations are so driven by the insanity of their Talmudic-Calvinist-Masonic "bottom line" profit margin that American manufacturing jobs are shipped overseas, especially to Red China, to exploit low-paid, if not slave-labor, workers to manufacture practically everything that is sold in this country and around the world?
How can there not be "woe to the earth, and to the sea" when men in those multinational corporations enjoy their ill-gotten gains by living in the lap of utter material luxury and decadence as they hire Americans to sell the substandard—and sometimes quite dangerous to our health—Red Chinese-manufactured goods that are mega stores (Walmart, Target) for wages that are so meager in order to "cut costs" and, it should be noted, to keep their own wage-slaves on the "credit merry-go-round" to purchase appliances and computers and other "big ticket" items made in Red China?
There have been chastisements aplenty in recent weeks, including an earthquake in Haiti whose epicenter was a voodoo temple (Haiti earthquake) as well as hurricanes and tropical storms that have caused massive flooding in the states of Tennessee (Flooding in Humphrey County in Middle Tennessee Leaves at Least 22 People Dead and Dozens Missing) and North Carolina (2 dead, 20 missing in North Carolina county flooded by Fred). Wildfires, as per usual, continue to rage in the State of California (Satellite images show raging Caldor wildfire ablaze in California.)
Yet, of course, most people do not see the hand of God in any of these chastisements any more than they have seen them in the events and government overreach associated with the CCP/China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19/Coronavirus , and in this regard, they are no different than were most people in Noe’s day before the Great Flood:
[36] But of that day and hour no one knoweth, not the angels of heaven, but the Father alone. [37] And as in the days of Noe, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. [38] For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, even till that day in which Noe entered into the ark, [39] And they knew not till the flood came, and took them all away; so also shall the coming of the Son of man be. [40] Then two shall be in the field: one shall be taken, and one shall be left.
It was after he had personally lived through the Peshtigo (Wisconsin) Fire of 1871 which occurred on the same day as the Great Chicago Fire, October 8, 1871, but was far more deadly (2500 people killed and over a million acres burned), that a French missionary priest, Father Peter Pernin, wrote the definitive report about the catastrophe and then came to conclusions that were so damning and so opposed to American naturalism that they were edited out of the 1918 edition of his book, The Finger of God Is There, by the Wisconsin Historical Society.
Herewith are those conclusions, which are just as relevant today in the midst of all the diabolical forces at work in the world as they were when written one hundred fifty years ago:
"Whilst passing through Indiana on my way to St. Louis, barely two months after the catastrophe of which I have endeavored to relate a few details, I saw a notice in a journal of that place to the effect that a Protestant gentleman was to give a public lecture that very evening on the great event. The subject of the discourse was: The fires of our day a faithful of that fire which shall consume the earth at the end of time. The topic was so full of interest to me that I resolved to delay my journey so as to assist at the lecture. There was but a small audience present, so true is it that mankind is to-day what mankind was in the time of Noah, and will be till the last hour, indifferent to all the warnings of heaven.
The learned lecturer after much laborious research, had collected many important facts relating to the great fires of the past, and corroborating his words twice by quoting passages from some descriptive articles of my own published in the journals, proceeded to show how much severer in character were the fires of our days, which, in the strange fierceness of their nature, seemed to be a foreshadowing and image of that which will consume the earth on the last day. And truly we may see in this wild confusion of the elements, roaring of tempests, trembling of the earth, this land and sky in flames, with men looking on, stupefied and withering with fear, a realization of the vivid description given by Holy Writ of the end of the world.
But why these warnings? And why are they sent so unequally to nations equally guilty?
Ah! who can sound the ways of Providence? Perhaps is it because God is often lost sight of in the present day, especially by those who know and consequently ought to serve Him. Do not numbers of Catholics work, act, in a word, live as if they had neither a Creator to obey, a Saviour to love, nor a soul to save? And if it be true that God created man, if it be true that He descended on earth to redeem him, He surely possesses the strictest claims on this creature of His bounty. Those claims being consistently ignored and trampled under foot, our feeble reason itself will tell us that Providence must occasionally recall them to our minds and proclaim them as it were by those great catastrophes which prove at the same time that He is, despite what we may do or say, our Lord and Master, and that we are bound to treat Him as such. Was it not thus that He acted in former times towards His chosen people when they became ungrateful and prevaricating? The sovereignty of God over man and the duty of man towards God, are the same to-day as under the Old Law. Unquestionably, forgetfulness of these obligations seems to be almost a general thing to-day, but at the same time where is the nation or people really exempt from these chastisements? God's scourges may be varied, but they make themselves felt everywhere. If His justice seems to weigh more heavily on some than on others, if His voice sounds more menacing and terrible here than elsewhere, it is perhaps because He wishes that this punishment of a small number may afford a salutary lesson to millions of others who, horrified by so formidable a display of Almighty Power, may hasten to return to the way of salvation. When He rained down fire and brimstone on Sodom of old, the Bible does not say that Sodom was the only city deserving of such a fate. In the calamity, awful as that of Sodom, which has over- taken Peshtigo town, perhaps not more guilty than others that have nevertheless been spare, Peshtigo may be looked on as a modern Sodom in the sense that it can serve as an example to all. Et nunc reges intelligite, erudimi qui judicatis terram." (Ps. 11.) "And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction you that judge the earth. Serve ye the Lord with fear, and rejoice unto him with trembling. Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way. When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that trust in him!" (Father Peter Pernin, The Finger of God Is There. As found at: The Finger of God is There. Interestingly, American British military officials studied Father Pernin’s account of the Peshtigo Fire to learn how to create the thoroughly immoral firebombing of Dresden, Germany, from February 13-15, 1945: Peshtigo.)
Please re-read that last paragraph
We must view all things through the eyes of the Holy Faith.
We must view all things through the eyes of the Holy Faith at all times.
We must never allow the events of the world to agitate us as agitation is from the devil.
We must rest secure in our absolute trust in Our Lord’s Divine Providence, remembering that we are living at the exact time which He has ordained from all eternity for us to live and thus to give Him honor and glory as His consecrated slaves through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Is it not the case today that most “Catholics work, act, in a word, live as if they had neither a Creator to obey, a Saviour to love, nor a soul to save”?
Well, it cannot be that way with us.
We must think supernaturally at all times, and we must give thanks at all times that we have been given the gratuitous gift of the Catholic Faith so that we can see the world and everything in it clearly through the eyes of the true Faith. Our gratitude must express itself especially in the midst of personal trials and those tragedies in the world as we give thanks to Our Lord and Our Lady that we can rise about naturalism and as we pray for the gift of perseverance to continue doing so.
We must do penance for our sins, and the chastisements that are at hand, including those associated with the CCP/China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19/Coronavirus and the government’s authoritarian exploitation of it, remembering that Our Lady herself explained in the Cova da Iria near Fatima, Portugal, that she wanted us to do penance for our sins and those of the whole world in order to hold back her Divine Son’s wrath against us for our infidelity and ingratitude:
"I want you to come here on the 13th of next month, [August] to continue to pray the Rosary every day in honour of Our Lady of the Rosary, in order to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war, because only she can help you."
"Continue to come here every month. In October, I will tell you who I am and what I want, and I will perform a miracle for all to see and believe."
Lucia made some requests for sick people, to which Mary replied that she would cure some but not others, and that all must say the rosary to obtain such graces, before continuing: "Sacrifice yourselves for sinners, and say many times, especially when you make some sacrifice: O Jesus, it is for love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary."
"You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end; but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the pontificate of Pius XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given you by God that he is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father.
"To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me and she will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world."
Mary specifically told Lucia not to tell anyone about the secret at this stage, apart from Francisco, before continuing: "When you pray the Rosary, say after each mystery: 'O my Jesus, forgive us, save us from the fire of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are most in need.' "
Lucia asked if there was anything more, and after assuring her that there was nothing more, Mary disappeared off into the distance. (Our Lady's Words at Fatima.)
Our Lady promised on July 13 1917, to return to request the consecration of Russia by the Holy Father. She came to visit Sister Lucia in Tuy, Spain, on June 13, 1929, to specify the terms of this consecration:
"The moment has come in which God asks the Holy Father, in union with all the Bishops in the world, to make the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, promising to save it by this means. There are so many souls whom the Justice of God condemns for sins committed against me, that I have come to ask reparation: sacrifice yourself for this intention and pray." (Our Lady's Words at Fatima.)
As I have noted on this site before, some will protest that the Church never passed on the June 13, 1929, apparition of Our Lady to Sister Lucia in Tuy, Spain, believing that the terms of the proper consecration of Russia were spelled out in the July 13, 1917 apparition, which terms were fulfilled, they believe, when Pope Pius XII singly consecrated Russia to Our Lady's Immaculate Heart in 1952. Others, however, believe, as I do, that Our Lady came in 1929 to make the specific request for the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart by a pope with all of the world's bishops. As was pointed out in Our Lady Does Not Act on Her Own, the Church never ruled on Our Lady's December 10, 1925, apparition to Sister Lucia dos Santos wherein she specified the practice of the Five First Saturdays to be kept in reparation for sins against her Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart:
Have compassion on the heart of your most holy Mother, covered with thorns with which ungrateful men pierce it at every moment, and there is no one to make an act of reparation. Look, my daughter, at my heart, surrounded with thorns with which ungrateful men pierce it at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. You at least try to console me and say that I promise to assist at the hour of death, with the graces necessary for salvation, all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, shall confess, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on fifteen mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention of making reparation to me." (Our Lady's Words at Fatima.)
The Church has given, at least in a de facto sense, recognition to this private apparition made in 1925, making it plausible, at the very least, that the 1929 apparition of Our Lady to Sister Lucia in the convent at Tuy, Spain, in which Our Lady called for the collegial consecration of Russia by a pope with all of the world's bishops to be an elaboration on that same July 13, 1917, message in the Cova da Iria in which she first called for the Communions of reparation on the First Saturdays and called for the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart by the pope.
Although even some who accept the legitimacy of the 1929 apparition contend that the time for such a collegial consecration has passed, noting correctly that World War II could have been prevented by such a collegial consecration, Sister Lucia continued to insist that the collegial consecration needed to be done. With all due respect to those who do not accept these conclusions, I would like to submit that the state of the world-at-large and that of the Church Militant on earth during this time of apostasy and betrayal is a direct chastisement for the fact that Popes Pius XI and XII were advised badly to refrain from consecrating Russia collegially with all of the world's bishops to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary.
We must, therefore, bear the cross with joy and gratitude in this time of chastisement, recognizing that the errors of Modernity in the world and those of Modernism in the counterfeit church of conciliarism are intertwined with each other as but similar manifestations of the errors of Russia.
We have much to suffer for our own sins. We must suffer well as we place not our trust in the princes of naturalism in this world or the princes of false "reconciliation" and "dialogue" with false religions in the counterfeit church of conciliarism. We must place our trust in the Immaculate Heart of Mary as we give this heart, out which the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus was formed, all of the sufferings of the present moment so that she can present whatever merit we earn from patiently and lovingly enduring them to the Throne of the Most Blessed Trinity.
The following words of Our Lady, spoken to Juan Diego four hundred ninety years ago this year, should always have a place in our minds and hearts:
"Listen and take heed, least of my sons," she said quietly. "There is nothing which thou needst dread. Let not thy heart be troubled. Do not fear this illness, neither any other illness or affliction. Am I not here beside thee; I, thy Merciful Mother? Am I not thy hope and salvation? Of what more dost thou have need? Let nothing distress or harass thee. As to the illness of thy uncle, he will not die of it. Indeed, I ask thee to accept as a certainty my assurance that he is already cured." (Frances Parkinson Keyes, The Grace of Guadalupe, published in 1941 by Julian Messner, Inc., pp. 47-48.)
Indeed.
What more do we need?
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now, and at the hour our death?
Saint Joseph, pray for us.
Saints Peter and Paul, pray for us.
Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.
Saint John the Evangelist, pray for us.
Saint Michael the Archangel, pray for us.
Saint Gabriel the Archangel, pray for us.
Saint Raphael the Archangel, pray for us.
Saints Joachim and Anne, pray for us.
Saints Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar, pray for us.
Saint Joseph Calasanctius, pray for us.
Appendix
From Dom Prosper Gueranger's The Liturgical Year
On the Feast of Saint Joseph Calasanctius
To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan. Proud Venice has already seen these words realized in her noble son Jerome Æmilian: today they indicate the sanctity of another illustrious person, descended from the first princes of Navarre, but of still higher rank in the kingdom of charity.
God, who waters the trees of the field as well as the cedars of Libanus, because it is he that planted them all, takes care also of the little birds that do not gather into barns: will he then forget the child, who is of much more value than the birds of the air? Or will he give him corporal nourishment, and neglect the soul hungering for the bread of the knowledge of salvation, which strengthens the heart of man? In the 16th century one might have been tempted to think our heavenly Father’s granaries were empty. True, the Holy Spirit soon raised up new Saints; but the reviving charity was insufficient for the number of destitute; how many poor children, especially, were without schools, deprived of the most elementary education which is indispensable to the fulfillment of their obligations and to their nobility as children of God: and there was no one to break to them the bread of knowledge!
More fortunate than so many other countries overrun with heresy, Spain was at her apogee, enjoying the hundredfold promised to those who seek first the kingdom of God. She seemed to have become our Lord’s inexhaustible resource. A little while ago she had given Ignatius Loyola to the world; she had just enriched heaven by the precious death of Teresa of Avila, when the Holy Ghost drew once more from her abundance to add to the riches of the capital of the Christian world, and to supply the wants of the little ones in God’s Church.
The descendant of the Calassanz of Petralta de la Sal was already the admired Apostle of Aragon, Catalonia and Castile, when he heard a mysterious voice speaking to his soul: “Go to Rome; go forth from the land of thy birth; soon shall appear to thee, in her heavenly beauty, the companion destined for thee, holy poverty, who now calls thee to taste of her austere delights; go, without knowing whither I am leading thee; I will make thee the father of an immense family; I will show thee all that thou must suffer for my name’s sake.”
Forty years of blind fidelity, in unconscious sanctity had prepared the elect of heaven for his sublime vocation. “What can be greater,” asks St. John Chrysostom, “than to direct the souls and form the characters of children? Indeed I consider him greater than any painter or sculptor, who knows how to fashion the souls of the young.” Joseph understood the dignity of his mission: during the remaining fifty-two years of his life, he, according to the recommendations of the holy Doctor, considered nothing mean or despicable in the service of the little ones; nothing cost him dear if only it enabled him, by the teaching of letters, to infuse into the innumerable children who came to him, the fear of the Lord. From St. Pantaleon, his residence, the Pious Schools soon covered the whole of Italy, spread into Sicily and Spain, and were eagerly sought by kings and people in Moravia, Bohemia, Poland, and the northern countries.
Eternal Wisdom associated Calasanctius to her own work of salvation on earth. She rewarded him for his labors as she generally does her privileged for his labors as she generally does her privileged ones, by giving him a strong conflict, that he might overcome, and know that wisdom is mightier than all. It is a conflict like that of Jacob at the ford of Jaboc which represents the last obstacle to the entrance into the promised land, when all the pleasures and goods of the world have been sent on before by absolute renouncement; it is a conflict by night, wherein nature fails and becomes lame; but it is followed by the rising of the sun, and sets the combatant at the entrance of eternal day; it is a conflict with God hand to hand, under the appearance, it is true, of a man or of an angel; but it matters little under what form God chooses to hide himself, provided it takes nothing from his sovereign dominion. Why dost thou ask my name? said the wrestler to Jacob; thine shall be henceforth Israel, strong against God.
Our readers may consult the historians of St. Joseph Calasanctius for the details of the trials which made him a prodigy of fortitude, as the church calls him. Through the calumnies of false brethren the saint was deposed, and the Order reduced to the condition of a secular congregation. It was not until after his death that it was re-established, first by Alexander VII and then by Clement IX as a Regular Order with solemn vows. In his great work on the Canonization of Saints, Benedict XIV speaks at length on this subject, delighting in the part he had taken in the process of the servant of God, first as consistorial advocate, then as promoter of the faith, and lastly as Cardinal giving his vote in favor of the cause. We shall see in the lessons that it was he also that beatified him. (Dom Prosper Gueranger, The Liturgical Year, Feast of Saint Joseph Calasanctius, August 27.)
Joseph Calasanctius of the Mother of God was born of a noble family at Petralta in Aragon, and from his earliest years gave signs of his future love for children and their education. For, when still a little child, he would gather other children round him and would teach them the mysteries of faith and holy prayer. After having received a good education in the liberal arts and divinity, he went through his theological studies at Valencia. Here he courageously overcame the seductions of a noble and powerful lady, and by a remakable victory preserved unspotted his virginity which he had already vowed to God. He became a priest in fulfillment of a vow; and several bishops of New Castile, Aragon and Catalonia availed themselves of his assistance. He surpassed all their expectations, corrected evil living throughout the kingdom, restored ecclesiastical discipline, and was marvelously successful in putting an end to enmities and bloody factions. But urged by a heavenly vision, and after having been several times called by God, he went to Rome.
Here he led a life of great austerity; fasting and watching, spending whole days and nights in heavenly contemplation, and visiting the seven basilicas of the City almost every night. This last custom he observed for many years. He enrolled himself in pious associations, and with wonderful charity devoted himself to aiding and consoling the poor with alms and other works of mercy, especially those who were sick or imprisoned. When the plague was raging in Rome, he joined St. Camillus, and not content in his ardent zeal, with bestowing lavish care upon the sick poor, he even carried the dead to the grave on his own shoulders. But having been divinely admonished that he was called to educate children, especially those of the poor, in piety and learning, he founded the Order of the Poor Regular Clerks of the Mother of God of the Pious Schools, who are specially destined to devote themselves to the instruction of youth. This Order was highly approved by Clement VIII, Paul V, and others of the Roman Pontiffs, and in a wonderfully short space of time it spread through many of the kingdoms of Europe. But in this undertaking Joseph had to undergo many sufferings and labors, and he endured them all with so much constancy, that every one proclaimed him a miracle of patience and another Job.
Though burdened with the government of the whole Order, he nevertheless devoted himself to saving souls, and moreover never gave over teaching children, especially those of the poorer class. He would sweet their schools and take them to their homes himself. For fifty-two years he persevered in this work, though it called upo nhim to practice the greatest patience and humility, and although he suffered from weak health. God rewarded him by honoring him with many miracles in the presence of his disciples; and the Blessed Virgin appeared to him with the Infant Jesus, who blessed his children while they were praying. He refused the highest dignities, but he was made illustrious by the gifts of prophecy, of reading the secrets of hearts, and of knowing what was going on in his absence. He was favored with frequent apparitions of the citizens of heaven, particularly of the Virgin Mother of God, whom he had loved and honored most especially from his infancy, and whose cultus he had most strongly recommended to his disciples. He foretold the day of his death and the restoration and propagation of his Order, which was then almost destroyed; and in his ninety-second year he fell asleep in our Lord at Rome, on the 8th of the Calends of September, in the year 1648. A century later, his heart and tongue were found whole and incorrupt. God honored him by many miracles after his death. Benedict XIV granted him the honors of the Blessed, and Clement XIII solemnly enrolled him among the saints. (Matins, The Divine Office, Feast of Saint Joseph Calasanctius, August 27.)
The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor, by making thee the depositary of his love, and putting on thy lips the words he himself was the first to utter: Suffer the little children to come unto me. How many owe and will yet owe, their eternal happiness to thee, O Joseph, because thou and thy sons have preserved in them the divine likeness received in baptism, man’s only title to heaven! Be thou blessed for having justified the confidence Jesus placed in thee by entrusting to thy care those frail little beings, who are the objects of his divine predilection. Be thou blessed for having still further corresponded to that confidence of our Lord, when he suffered thee, like Job, to be persecuted by Satan, and with yet more cruel surprises than those of the just Idumæan. Must not God be able to count unfailingly upon those who are his? Is it not fitting that, amidst the defections of this miserable world, he should be able to show his Angels what grace can do in our poor nature, and how far his adorable will can be carried out in his Saints?
The reward of thy sufferings, which thy unwavering confidence expected from the Mother of God, came at the divinely appointed hour. O Joseph, now that the Pious Schools have been long ago re-established, bless the disciples whom even our age continues to give thee; obtain for them and for the countless scholars they train to Christian science, the blessing of the Infant Jesus. Give thy spirit and thy courage to all who devote their labors and their life to the education of the young; raise us all to the level of the teaching conveyed by thy heroic life. (Dom Prosper Gueranger, The Liturgical Year, Feast of Saint Joseph Calasanctius, August 27.)
