While Covid-19 vaccine critics are busy celebrating the fall of Pfizer’s share price and its legal troubles in the USA, the German company BioNTech, the actual legal manufacturer of the so-called “Pfizer vaccine” and the main financial beneficiary of its sales, is continuing its expansion with the full and open support of Germany and the EU. On Monday, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, Rwandan President Paul Kagame, and BioNTech co-founders Ugur Sahin and Özlem Türeci gathered in the Rwandan capital of Kigali to celebrate the inauguration of BioNTech’s new African mRNA vaccine manufacturing site.

The Velvet Fascism of "Protect our Democracy"

Deciding that a person who has not been charged with, let alone convicted of, insurrection is guilty of insurrection and therefore cannot run for president…that is “protecting our democracy” in action. Whenever that term is used, one can be assured that the democracy they are referring to has no semblance to any actual democracy.

The danger is that there will be no real bar to them repeating it next time. It’s only if you really punish them. With atrocities we have this notion of command responsibility. You don’t go after the foot soldiers, but you do charge the general or the dictator with atrocity crimes, with crimes against humanity, with ethnic cleansing, and put them in jail. That sends a message.

Are Safety Reports from Covid mRNA Shots Due to Lack of FDA Ingredient Clarity? - Brownstone Institute

Are Safety Reports from Covid mRNA Shots Due to Lack of FDA Ingredient Clarity?

Not providing ingredient transparency and assuring quality via an appropriate sampling methodology is a fundamental and basic requirement of the FDA. In fact, it was the primary reason for the formation of the FDA! Don’t Americans deserve better transparency, oversight, and “truthful labeling” laws when it comes to our pharmaceuticals – especially since those laws were made over 100 years ago?

The silence is not golden. It’s dangerous. It is even treacherous. The Covid response ruined everything the world identified with America: freedom, rights, decentralism, commerce, individual liberty, and bravery in the face of trial. Governments together with all the commanding heights betrayed all those values. We need to know why. We need to know how. We need to know who. The silence could mean there is more to come. Which is to say that silence equals death.

We have held the belief that no politician who has not experienced the bestiality of war should ever be elected Prime Minister of any state. Ours is a belief and an aspiration, as those who have been in action are nowadays thin on the ground. Enforcing such a belief would entail restricting democracy: only veterans, front-line media and humanitarian agencies could be elected.

One doesn’t have to look too hard, these days, to find examples of foolish patronising poseurs – the various chambers of our state and federal parliaments are ‘target-rich environments,’ as they say. A case in point has come to my attention, compelling me to expose the utter contempt in which some parliamentarians hold their constituents.

It must be concluded that the risks associated with DNA plasmid fragment adulteration when delivered with the highly active lipid nanoparticle formulations of COMIRNATY and SPIKEVAX are both real and uncharacterized, and consistent with US Federal statute CFR Title 21, CHAPTER 9, SUBCHAPTER V § 351, the products must be withdrawn from the market until the necessary tests have been performed and safety demonstrated.

Fortunately, the cries of the Covid-19 vaccine-injured have been heard by some in the halls of Congress. Representative Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) has introduced the comprehensive bipartisan Vaccine Injury Compensation Modernization Act (H.R. 5142) and the Vaccine Access Improvement Act (H.R. 5143). This legislation would not only transfer Covid-19 injury claims to the VICP, but would also make that program far more efficient with increasingly robust benefits for the injured.
