Anthony Fauci’s Darkest Hours
And where are we today? Fauci will talk with no one, no reporters, not even on background. His last public appearance consisted of 110 invocations of his right to remain silent under the 5th Amendment.
How the CDC Lied about Shot Injury
The CDC never sounded the alarm, not early, not late, not anytime in between. We now have evidence that they were being notified the entire time by their contractor, who could not even process all...
Statistical Bamboozlement with Shingles Vaccines
It’s straightforward to produce a plausible bit of vaccine cheerleading when you don’t have to actually critically examine the numbers someone hands you. Thus, the story follows a predictable direction honed to please the advertisers...
Launching a Second Scientific Revolution
We can solve the nation’s health problems if we establish gold standard science. I mean science that is replicable, at the bleeding edge, and supports scientists with promising ideas wherever they are. Achieving these goals...
Blood Clots and the Death of Common Sense
Medicine doesn't need fewer scientific advances. It needs doctors who know how to use them wisely. It needs the courage to investigate when warranted, the discipline to know when not to, and the humility to...
The Medical and Ethical Atrocity of “Perioperative Vaccination”
The atrocity of “perioperative vaccination” must go the way of pre-frontal lobotomy, the continued victimization of children on the altar of vaccination must be put to an end, and those responsible for this outrage should...
A Surveilled Country Is Not a Free Country
Perhaps people are second-guessing the bits of common wisdom everyone accepted for the past decade to rationalize our subjugation. Perhaps there is something of a Spirit of ’76 moment going on right now that can...
Our Town Is Every Town
It's ironic that the town that inspired Grover's Corners, America's shorthand for small-town decency, set about casting out its own. Some people became the missionaries of compliance, then guardians of virtue, then something far worse…true...
Cries for Help Buried in V-Safe Data
V-safe was built to hear from people after vaccination, and these participants used it for that purpose. In their own words, 3,329 people reported serious harm, suicidal thoughts, near-death events, or the death of someone...
Accountability Is All That Matters Now
If you’re looking to the public health system, particularly the physicians, to take back the profession, don’t hold your breath! That’s because, first, do no harm has been irrevocably changed to, do as you’re told!
When Vaccine Injury Research Becomes Political, Patients Disappear
For the first time in a long time, Dr Bhattacharya is working to get politics out of the way of good science. The protocol, its implementation, the quality of the science, and the transparency of...
The Vaccinated Human Body
Given the signs that a more devastating kind of technology than the kind he was familiar with is in the process of asserting itself, it seems safe to say that Heidegger would have reiterated his...
Will Trump Take Millions of Hostages Like Me for Big Pharma?
Once a person becomes eligible for Medicare, no discounts or rebates are permitted. Medicare turbocharges drug price inflation while often providing only an illusion of a safety net for recipients.
Why Weren’t We Warned?
Shockingly, the US FDA has yet to require a specific warning about persistent post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD), revealing even further how much the US system has been captured by the drug companies it allegedly regulates.
How Washington Think Tanks Paved the Road to Serfdom
Today’s politicians perennially seek pretexts to further invade citizens’ lives. And there is never a shortage of intellectuals who, like the courtiers long ago, assure their masters that God — or at least social science...
The Shot and the Lie
This book should end the debate forever. I dare any man of good conscience to pick it up, turn to a single page, and be just fine with what you read. These people were being...
How a Flawed Covid Study Tried—and Failed—to Discredit the Amish
I reported on my national television program that the largest Amish community in the US, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, had rejected masking, vaccines, isolation, testing, and all the other CDC recommendations for Covid…and apparently fared none the...
Competence and Capability in the Age of AI
When dealing with the Complex Domain, the predictability horizon of actions is exceedingly short and frequent monitoring is crucial and adaptability to the reality is a necessity. This is where medicine failed during Covid.
Remember the Suffering, Remember the Dead
Lockdowns, effectively making the natural process of grieving illegal, hastened this erosion. Requiem Masses that should have a full Church now have maybe a few dozen, others have only immediate family and a few pious...
Equity with Accountability in Pandemic Preparedness
In many low-resourced countries, earmarked finance, externally selected priorities, imported program designs, a growing non-state and donor-dependent workforce, and donor reporting requirements have weakened the link between national choices and national accountability.
The Covid Reckoning That Never Came
I am not forgetting. And from what I see every day, millions are not either. As time rolls forward and the cognitive dissonance of those who took the vaccine wears off…our numbers will continue to...
Deep Capture
With total command over media and law enforcement, it is possible to rewrite the collective memory of an entire population if you have one generation in which to accomplish it.
VAERS and VSAFE: The “Worst Case Scenario” Twice
The scale of the violation is hard to imagine. After the dazed feeling wears off, let’s get busy. The following research brief benefited from various digital research assistants, and I have not edited the language...
Deep State of the World
The deep state of the world is trying to consolidate the entire world into a one-world government and has developed many different mechanisms of control to achieve that end. Part of that initiative is to...
